Could you make a solo stamblade using 2h and bow or dual wield and bow without pale order

[@Thiniking]

Thanks for sharing. I was pleasantly surprised that the main weapons are staff on a NB. Just proves how flexible this game can be. One thing I've noticed is that nice table where you show the base skill and then the morph. Do you know of a site, or would it be something you could share where it shows all skill trees with base and morphs and the base action, like dot, AoE, Stam, Mgk, Health, poison, etc. I mention this because when I am working on the skills I may choose, I sometimes skip some skill because I have no idea what extra the morph may provide.

[@abifsnad]

yo buddy nice vids. Recently came back to the game. If you can make content on healer builds, or just talk about the healer role and its impact on the game, ill be very gratefull. Thanks mate, here is your like and sub. Have a nice day

hello lucky, I made the identical build of the STARTER GEAR and took the appropriate drink, yet against a single target like a boss I can not regenerate my magic. Why can't I regenerate my magic with the same skill you use in your video?

[@devdecker7812]

The twisting path damage morph is stronger than unstable wall of elements and gives you more passive buff being slotted

[@meshuggahlad7]

Just a tip. If you cast the Shade too close or while pointing at enemy in a close range, hidden or not, your shade will attack. It depends on your proximity and whether you youre actually pointing at the enemy. Ive watched my shade run across a room in a trial.

[@LuckyGhost]

pets cant agro bosses. they will only charge at the boss if someone else agro'd it. the second boss is in combat, pets willl sprint at it

Holy cow, Lucky! Sooooo many new vids, you really weren't kidding around when you said that you would have a new video almost everyday until Blackwood. This is great!!

[@spicypdx]

I found this video VERY helpful!!!! I would be very interested in a similar video focused on trial builds. Thank you for the time snd effort you put into this!

[@Anthonyh723]

should i go with gear in this video (mothers sorrow/burning spellweave) or the written guide (Bahsei/Kinra)? thank you so much for these builds btw my mind would explode without your channel

[@jorgesalazar7740]

I got the same question as others here... Lucky could you let us know, please?... or maybe both are fine?

[@hi5m817]

I think written guide is more up-to-date. So would go with stuff from there.

[@mahustz]

Mothers sorrow/spellweave have way more crit chance

[@gehtdichnichtsan1124]

kinras is better for arenas from my experience

[@CreativeExcusesGaming]

Bahesei/Kinras is one of the current meta options for best in slot magicka build gear. Mother’s sorrow + burning spellweave will still be plenty functional

[@alexanderbustamante4585]

Thank you for these videos I can't tell you how helpful they are. I appreciate it!

Quite interesting reading all these comments. Says a lot about the quality of your content :) And I totally have to agree with them! Competent, clear and structured! Glad that there's still stuff on such a high quality level!

Great video, and great written guide! Both are very easy to follow. One question though - in the video you chose the incapacitating strike morph, and in the written guide you have soul harvest. Which one do you prefer? Incapacitating strike?

[@danielhickel596]

Thanks for the build lucky New too really learning the game

[@LunarReignSE]

Lucky I was wondering between your video and written guide, which is more up to date? I noticed that while the gear is the same on both, other things like Mundus Stone, Skills and Champion Points differ. Thank you.

[@bgh12g]

The way you have been explaining things in a calm non-hyped manor really helps. I have learned more from your recent videos than I have from those others that have been around for way too long. Taking the time to explain to people how talents, bars and procs sets all work together has really helped me improve my dps. One Question: will blackwood have us re-rolling our CP? I was about to respec and didnt want to waste the gold less than a week out, if i will have to do it again. Thank you for everything you do for the ESO community!

[@LuckyGhost]

We will likely respec our CP with blackwood to the CP listed in these videos. ESO will likely refund you some points because some of the caps on the nodes were reduced, so you'll log in with some unspent points you can spend on day 1 of blackwood :)

Good thing you are here Lucky, at least I can watch you play on twitch and watch your guide videos here ,since i can't play the damn beautiful game, i was ready to get back to eso after 2 years, but i couldn't login... now I'm depressed...

[@LetsGetExponential]

Im kinda shocked inner light isn't slotted anywhere, i know you said you could sub it out in a group setting but i feel like its a pretty big bar buffer even on solo; also, no siphoning strikes?

[@unicron12002]

Thank you this helped tremendously

[@dippitydooiseeu7926]

But what about mystic orb and siphoning strikes

[@flakdampler11]

Lucky, how do you feel about using Spell Power Cure as a poor man’s version of Burning Spellweave? Since this build overheals you frequently, it provides basically the same benefits.

Great video! I'm learning something from each one of them.

[@StepOnMina]

Another build?! You're a beast! Great vid, as always. :)

[@mickey4697]

I’ve been switching between my Magblade and Magicka Sorcerer when I get bored and I can’t help but of noticed that in your most recent video you say something about the shadow stone being less viable for this build now, what are the best alternatives? It is possible I misheard, and if so I apologise.

[@beingofinconceivablehorror1854]

I think the lover stone is the best. Just the penetration helps a lot.

[@rhodes3975]

I've just started trying out this build and I'm loving it so much so far! Just wondering if Sap Essence is an ok substitute for Swallow Soul as a spammable? Me personally I just love a lot of AOE and was wondering what your thoughts are!

[@flakdampler11]

Ya I like sap essence instead of impale. I feel like a big aoe damage button is more useful than a single target execute you use only occasionally

[@rhodes3975]

@@flakdampler11 Never thought of swapping it with impale, might have to give it a go!

[@ItheauthorityI]

This was a while ago but I see you keep the written guide updated. I noticed on the backbar though that you have both Cleave and Elemental Drain. Considering you use 2H, what should Elemental Drain be replaced with? Edit: Now I'm even more confused because the rotation mentions both Cleave and Elemental Wall haha

[@ItheauthorityI]

Okay I think you replace it with Siphoning Strikes. Because on the bar, the link for the Elemental Drain leads to the Siphoning Strikes page.

[@witch_bird_jmh]

What is the outfit fashion you are wearing in this? Sorry to necro post on an old vid but I'm super curious!

[@Booshed7]

My man over here just churning out videos now, good gracious

[@ravenousone6446]

Lucky, awesome build and content. What are your thoughts on skipping the vma staff? This would allow for bsw back bar, Medusa front bar, monster set and ring of the pale order. Seems like that could be nice without losing too much? Thanks

[@LuckyGhost]

Thats a neat idea! I'd have to test it out to know for sure. Basically what you're doing is trading the maestrom staff for a monster set, which probably won't do as much dps but will not be too far off!

[@visionofgrey]

I’m having trouble with aoe for a mag blade. I was planning to use a bow along with staff but that’s more of stamina build. Any advice?

[@joshhobson2340]

I'm gonna need a motif list for that outfit. love it.

[@Azzamess182]

written guide is a lot different from the video? Especially gear wise. What's more updated of those two?

[@guilhermeferreira2753]

Really easy and good build! Thanks! Also, may I ask which addon you're using that shows the time to block/dodge an enemy attack?

[@LuckyGhost]

Codes combat alerts

[@ShadowWizard]

grim focus works best with lightning staff cause its like auto attack (also less clicking so mouse will last longer to :D) so i use lighting staff with my NB

[@AverageYakAngler]

Ok Lucky, Last question.. for now then I leave you alone for a bit. But I would first like to say thank you for responding to all my questions. Ok so I'm almost done getting this setup, just lacking the Helm and one Staff.. My question is , because of the Ring, what could I swap out when I join a group? I'm beast on Solo but when comes to groups I like the healer buffs lol.

[@LuckyGhost]

typically you drop the ring and put on a complete monster set like zaans (single target) ilambris (aoe) or iceheart (defensive shield) :)

[@ahtilah1194]

"Witchmother's Potent Brew will give you Max Stam, Max Health, and will also give you increased Magicka Recovery" Oops, slip of the tongue saying it gives Max Stam during recording. 1:32 if you want to know when it is said. :D

[@Kanqiu7743]

Hey Lucky, what is the style of the hat that you are using in this video?

[@dm83737]

Am I missing something on the Treasure Hunter set? According to the numbers it's better than Mother's Sorrow crit-wise and it adds spell damage, but I always see gear recommendation videos going with Mother's Sorrow instead. And it's not that they recommend non-dungeon sets because I will also see Medusa recommended all the time.

[@LuckyGhost]

Yeah, treasure hunter 5 piece buff doesnt stack with potions that give the same buff, so its a waste. we can use one potion to get the same buf that those 5 pieces of gear give us, so we use the potion instead and wear another powerful set that we cant get from a potion :)

Do you think that war maidens would be a good replacement for the infamous burning spellwaeve

[@LuckyGhost]

yeah its ok! leaves some abilities behind that aren't considered "magic damage" though so many of your skills just dont get the 5 piece bonus

[@alfiothecrow3297]

I'm quite poor right now, do you think a mother sorrow/crafty alfiq with a zaan or maw MS could be a decent option for magblade?

[@LuckyGhost]

Thats fine, though the gear i recommend will likely feel better if you can work towards it in the long run!

[@AverageYakAngler]

Hey Lucky please answer this question for me bro, I played this video back to back tryin to figure out how you have both a 5 peice BSW and a 5 MS plus a hat and a ring that. How are you getting a 5 peice bonus from BSW while having 5 Peices of Mothers Sorrow on? I'm missing something I know.

[@LuckyGhost]

5th piece is on the shoulder. Weapon counts as 2. Check out the written guide linked in the description that might be easier to see it all at once

Does the skill swallow soul stack on the enemy? I ask because it actually is a dot from what I read in game and if we keep spamming it and it just keeps replying with that then what is the point of spamming it

[@LuckyGhost]

swallow soul is a spammable, it does for instance ~8k dmg per cast and heals you over time
