Ok - Was testing it up till now - still dont have everything perfectly min maxxed yet but omg *this is by far the most fun ive ever had in pvp!* Beating out even my WereWolf PVP build that tanks and kills everything. This is just as simple and adds range! I hope they never touch this - Guna make my daughter do this too so we can walk down teams together like ive been doing! Literally leading my teams to wins now!

[@Dooma]

Boom! There it is. Awesome work Dyattz! 💪

[@Dooma]

Thank you for watching! A PvP build and an IA build in one. What a time to be alive!❗Note: I say "charged staff" but image shows precise. Use charged.

[@ThomasTheDownEngine]

Been using ice furnace and draugrkin grips for months, can confirm this slaps 👌

[@Dooma]

You know what, I have used Ice Furnace for years. I have used Drraugr for years. Not 1 time ever did I think to combine them in the same build. 🙃 Good stuff. I'm going to try it out, thank you! 😂

[@bovrar2nd861]

Just when I was thinking about my warden I see this video pop up as recommended haha. Thanks for sharing, friend. I love your builds and the way you present them.

[@Dooma]

You are very welcome Bovrar!

[@Centurion305]

You are a god... Thank you so much. I already run ice furnace with serpent's distain but with death dealers. I'll have to try it with oakensoul. Idk why I never ever thought of just going 1 bar but that saves so much bar swapping and clicking since my back bar is just a buff bar anyways

[@Dooma]

🔥That's wild you were already using the combo haha, awesome.

[@AussieBB1]

Love your work bro

[@Dooma]

Thank you! 🙏

[@ChaosMagik]

I got off work and made this build, so much fun. I put absorb stamina on my staff to proc sunder (minor breach/ 100 extra damage).

[@Dooma]

Awesome, I'm glad. That's exactly what I wanted for people. 💪

[@dustigin]

I'm curious if this is better than poison. With serpeants distain one is a 20 second execute status while the other would be 100 w/s damage for 20 seconds with just up front damage. Also the minor breach along with major from elemental sus would go well.

[@ChaosMagik]

@@dustigin I tested it on a non raid dummy and the poison would do more by the end of the duration. The physical damage with the minor breach would do more upfront and more burst. The double dot was closer to the physical burst but wasn’t as reliable.

[@Dooma]

🙏

[@TatewakiGaming]

Sweet build!

[@Dooma]

Thank you!

nice montage at the end! Now for the one bar PVP DK updated build =P

[@Dooma]

Thank you Coldest! I have been messing with the DK! "Soon." 😂

Nice one !

Thank you Radiczoju!🙏

[@NorthernGrim]

Im heading straight to that dungeon tomorrow then it seems xD Thanks for the build!

[@Dooma]

You are very welcome and thank YOU for watching! You can solo it up until you get to the pressure plates where you need 2 people to get to the last area. But you can at least solo 2-3 bosses for some gear to get started if you aren't queueing or going in as a group.

[@NorthernGrim]

@@Dooma ah sweet, I don't mind doing a few solos, I find not many people do the dung on EU servers. I'll possibly try with my tank, if not, definitely solo! Thanks bud!

[@NorthernGrim]

@@Dooma Okay some feedback... It's cracked xD first BG went 20 kill 1 death! It doesnt seem like it should hit so hard but it just does! :O

[@NorthernGrim]

Even had my own team raging for "kill steals" because of the status effects lmao

[@Dooma]

Amazing Job haha. Thank you for coming back and letting me know, love to see it! 💪 And right?! That's exactly how I was. I went in there to test out countering proc ganks and I was shocked the whole first BG at the pressure it put out. I didn't expect it at all.

[@smokingterps2363]

Just made a warden dps to pvp with, perfecting timing!

[@Dooma]

Haha that is perfect timing, awesome. 💪

[@smokingterps2363]

@@Doomawould the builds you have that are a few weeks old still be perform well now? I just made a bunch of new characters during the xp event 😀

[@Dooma]

Definitely. There are some going back a year+ that is still not outdated from patches (mostly anyway, there will be a few tweaks in the written guide if any changes.). Anything on the website is mostly current as well.

[@killr12301]

Could you do an in depth guide to your UI add-ons? Your UI is so clean!

[@Dooma]

If I dont make a video for it, I dont mind showing it on stream anytime!

[@dustigin]

This works really well in pvp cp Cyradiil. Very tanky and melts enemies. Also it makes clearing the resources easy as adds die very quick. Great build.

[@_Thorghar_]

Could You write your CP's and all traits/enchants?

[@RaTaTscHinG]

Im lost about the cp too..

[@dustigin]

@@_Thorghar_ basically same for gear but I have 3 impen, 3 sturdy, and reinforced on chest. My cp on blue are cleansing revival, master at arms, biting aura and thaumaturge. And red are rejuvenation, fortified, boundless vitality and pains refuge. Nothing special and I'm sure ther are better options. It's basically just elemental sus then spam force pulse. Use artic wind and winter's revenge if in close combat. Dont forget poison on staff as it is an execute now. It's all the status effects that really do all the work and serpeants might even be overkill as your always reaplying them.

[@_Thorghar_]

@@dustigin thank you 😎BTW how much health you got on your Warden? I'm stuck at 31k....

[@Dooma]

Remember I haven't play tested this at all, but just eyeballing it, something like this should work for you as a general set up: BLUE: Focused Mending - More healing. Wrathful Strikes - More general offensive pressure. Thaumaturge - More dot pressure. Deadly Aim - More Force Pulse + dot pressure. RED: Boundless Vitality - More Health. Pain's Refuse - Damage Mitigation while dotted. Sustained by Suffering - More sustain while fighting. Flex: Fortified - More Armor. Celerity - More Movement speed. Rejuvenation - Even more sustain.

[@aaronkidd4343]

love the build dooma however can yiu clarify what weapon trait? you mention two different ones in the video

[@Dooma]

Sorry about the confusion Aaron! Used charged here.

[@billgrod764]

I am sooooo glad i didn't decon that set with the IA upgraded build... Guess sometimes hoarding pays off hehe. Seems zos now wants to buff the pve warden but leave the pvp one alone... Making great builds is feat. Making builds that can be used in multiple types of content and be viable is amazing. As usual well done.

[@Dooma]

Thank you Bill! I did totally luck into this one though haha. I was just testing out trying to counter proc ganks and it turns out to be amazing for BGs. I didn't expect it to be so strong offensively at all. I hope you enjoy it if you try it out and thank you for the kind words. 🙏

[@Centurion305]

I've been using ice furnace for a long time with Warden... It's so good in pvp but you can also take it to infinite archive

[@Dooma]

Haha awesome. I never once thought about crossing those wires until this idea. Ice Furnace OP!

[@Sudomana]

i would really appreciate if u could make a updated video for templar one bar

[@lucassilva9237]

Nice build, could you make for magicka necro too?

[@Dooma]

Thank you Lucas! I am working on Necro builds now!

[@03adrian88]

Have you tried the Decisive trait with Oakensoaul? It works well with Minor Heroism.

[@Dooma]

I have on a few other ult generation builds, but not this one. It can be really crazy on Nord DK. We have clips somewhere on a max ult gen build where I was able to leap every 10-15s or so in a BG, it was fun haha.

[@_Thorghar_]

Write this build as simple as You can. It'll be great 😎

[@madking8178]

@Dooma why not sharpen ice staff over charge? As far as jewelry should I use Bloodthirsty or infused weapon damage over protection?

[@Dooma]

Hi Madking! You can use sharpen if you prefer. Charged will just give you more sources of damage over time. You rarely want to go Bloodthirsty in PvP. If you look at the wording on the BT trait, it says "...against enemies..." this means it does not count towards your own defense, which is very important to have in PvP.

[@madking8178]

@Dooma thank you, and I will get right on the build. I hope it's works in Greyhost

[@Dooma]

@@madking8178 You are very welcome! Same, I hope it works for you as well. There are people in the comments here who have said it worked well for them in Cyro, hopefully you get some of that as well when you take it out there. 💪

[@madking8178]

Im melting people. I absolutely love this build! I'm running a Dark Elf​.Thank you for making my Magden fun to play@Dooma

[@PortalColin]

Hey, aswome build, quick questions: How does it hold up with Argoinian? And what should I do the traits for the sets, you said you just threw on what you had, you only talked about the weapon. Lastly, Can I use heavy magma, and just craft a med breches or shoulder of Serpents?

[@Dooma]

Hi Portal! Check out what I say at 4:27 regarding traits. It's going to be different for everyone. Argonian should be fine for BGs. It isn't an S tier choice, but it's got some good stuff in there to help. I would recommend really abusing tri-pot use, to help stay as aggressive as possible (that's when the build really shines). Don't sit on your pots, use the passive to be aggro. You can totally swap those around. It's very flexible. Here is the deal with this build, this was just a test to feel out trying to counter proc ganks with resists and control, and it coincidentally worked super well for the BG environment (small area & no cp). I did not expect it to work this well offensively at all haha. I didn't put anymore time or thought into it beyond that to try and min/max it for efficiency. I'm just passing it to players from there to let them take it and make it their own. There is a ton of things you can probably do to make it just a little bit better with each change if someone really enjoyed the set up. There is a ton of room in the set up as well to customize it to what works best or interests you most. Please do feel free to experiment and move things around!

[@PortalColin]

Hey, thanks for the quick reply. Yeah I mainly play BG, so will give it a shot. Got all the armor ready. So will give it a try real soon. Just moved parts around a little bit for eas of farming etc. so heavy magma, then a med breeches. But yeah, will play around it. Thanks a lot😊

[@Dooma]

Awesome! You are very welcome and I hope you enjoy it!

[@tahamohammad3299]

what should the max magicka be at compared to max health? kinda struggling w sustain so how do u manage that?

[@Dooma]

Hi Taha! Check out my response to @ topasmusic (Raphael Topas) in the comments here. He's wearing a grey shirt in his profile pic to find it faster. It has a bit of info that may help you there. The amount of mag won't have the same effect on your sustain as the play style.

[@tahamohammad3299]

What’s the rotation and what adjustments would I make for a dark elf character!

[@Dooma]

Nothing would really change here for you really other than feeling a bit of sustain loss. Youll need to watch your Mag, maybe heavy attack a bit more here and there, and as counter productive as it sounds, take more damage. If you arent doing that, you are kind of wasting a lot of the 6 heavy armor passives. I would read over each one carefully with the build equipped so you can see exactly what they are doing for you.

[@_Thorghar_]

Multi effect enchants is max stats ofc?

[@Dooma]

Apologies for the confusion. I don't know why they display it like that. Multi-Effect can be Increase Physical Harm (known as "weapon damage") OR, Increase Magical Harm (known as "spell damage."). For this build you want Increase Magical Harm.

[@henripatey4008]

Love your builds, tried it out, not sure what I'm doing wrong, but arcanists mow me down left and right.. Had the most kills but also was killed the most. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. thanks.

[@Dooma]

It's a bit of a dance on a lot of Magden set ups. You have to keep up your pressure while keeping your defense rolling. If you are just turtling up, they are going to just kill you slowly (if they have that kind of damage). When you are also aggressive, you are forcing them to be defensive in moments, or fall back on their heels entirely. Those moments help you recover. If you look at the gameplay, even when I am being outnumbered beat on, I am still pushing it back out, and you'll see in some of the clips, the tide swings the other way and then we get momentum. Also, the play style isn't for everyone, and that's totally cool. It just may not vibe with you. I'm a terrible Stamplar, even when they are op. Just doesn't flow with me. It happens. If you do enjoy it though, just spend some time picking fights, getting beat on, and practicing gaining momentum advantage. You got this! 💪

[@scooterdoesntno3402]

@@calebward6583 northern storm buffs your weapon and spell damage for a period of time around 450 weapons spell for like 9? seconds after cast, as well doing over 10x damage per tick. that damage output is worth more then only a 30% greater snare potency and status effect. especially since if i recall this build utilizes a frost reach, guaranteeing chilled already.

@@Dooma Thanks for your help so far! I really love this build. But my sustain is utter garbage. I only have stormfist instead of magma equipped. Can this make a difference? Also, what Mundus do I need? Maybe some mag regen? Thank you!!

[@Dooma]

@@topasmusic No problem at all! And I think that’s a big part of the problem right there as well. Use the Attonach mundus, that should help quite a bit with sustain. You can also drop the stam recovery for any monster set that has mag recovery as well until you can pick up a Magma piece. Other than making sure all your jewelry is enchanted with increase magical harm and you are using the right, that should be all the things for you. Using Magicka Escapists poison helps as well a bit.

[@topasmusic]

@@Dooma You're a hero thanks. I unfortunately thought "multi effect enchantment" meant tri stats. So for my gear, tri glyphes are good, and as I understand for jewellery I need magical damage, and poison glyph for the weapon? I also got precise on the staff, but I read somewhere that I need a different trait? Thank you!! Awesome that you answer so quickly :)

[@Dooma]

@@topasmusic No worries at all! Use charged trait on the staff and the glyph won’t matter if you use escapists poisons (when you use poisons, it disables the enchant.)

Just curious, did you check while Minor Resolve was rolling from Vigor? I believe mine was at 32.5k with only 2/3 protective jewelry traits, while having a few divine armor traits, and a lesser armor trait of reinf. Vs. Nirn. I’ll have to look again when I’m on next but it shouldn’t be that much of a struggle for you on a non-Nord I think.

[@ksbrugh9886]

To be totally honest with you I think something is wrong with the stat screen. After you change weapons or armor the stat screen does not show what it's supposed to all the time correctly. One moment it shows 32k next moment 30k maybe there's some kind of refresh rate problem or something I'm not sure. Either way the build works 100% the way you designed it.
