OVERPOWERED! Solo Magicka Arcanist - GOD TIER! No Trial Gear OR Mythics!

[@inferidii]

Finally a build using almost only arcanist skills , not 2 skills out of 10

[@RyanIsIffy]

I always *try* to include as many class skills as possible. Its helps for the theme I think :D

[@Towerdweller-1]

Thorough content in a graphically pleasing package! Great instructive video.

Thank you SO much for the kind words!

TY for personalizing this video just for me! Appreciate it! Cant wait to play the build!!!!

Using a deadly staff has the advantage that you can light attack weave better as you've got range.

[@RyanIsIffy]

I use a staff on my “short fights” that said, the Arc is unique in your spending SO much time beaming that your not actually light weaving. In fact you’re missing 5 global cooldowns. The reason I like staff on short fights is because a lightning will boost beams damage and in short fights I’m spending all my time beaming. 😀

Good video! Will have to give this build a try in a few days!

How high do you hit regarding DPS on trial dummy? I am going by the one bar build by the game room, but I would switch if I could get a higher dps with another build.

[@RyanIsIffy]

Hi, I’m so sorry for the incredibly late response, I’ve been live 24/7 for 11 months now. I hit for an average of 120k on a dummy across all classes. I’ve done it loads of times on stream. That said these solo builds are not designed to hit high on a dummy. They are designed to bring so many of the buffs and debuffs you get from a dummy into content. And that’s where they shine.

[@geraltgrey-mane695]

Just turn lvl 50 now hehe :D Love it, btw would you recommend to going for the ring of pale order or?

[@RyanIsIffy]

Absolutely! Its a fantastic Mythic. Personally ive found the most success with the velothis amulet though. Sorry for the late reply, Ive been live 24/7 ❤️

[@superansh55]

what is your outfit/armor style?

[@jamesjefferson7895]

I am new to playing online and I have to ask I am just wondering if PC is a better way to play games online or maybe making videos like what you are doing well I might add if you can let me know what you think

[@RyanIsIffy]

Hey there, This is a tough one to answer, I'd say that its easier to network with other players on PC, however as a long time console player I really never had much issue there. I think theres pros and cons to both and you've just gotta find what works for you.

[@stace1785]

Need to make this build!

[@Troll-destroyer]

why bother bragging zos is gonna bomb this into the ground soon enought sadly

[@RyanIsIffy]

less of a brag, more of a cant believe I did this type thing. Plus if they gunna bomb it why not just have fun with it till they do?

[@mayorez70]

Still practical or is there a new build coming? 😉

Practical, yes. But there is a new build coming 🙂

[@geraltgrey-mane695]

11:15 the fourth one Its not manditory? or did my english fail me? :o Btw what addon should I use if I want help keeping a eye on my dots so I know when to reapply them? :) and is there any benifits to choose dual W vs Staff? for the front bar

[@RyanIsIffy]

The fourth red is almost always a flex. Meaning you could put something else in here if youd prefer. I found this better for me in solo. But you *could* run slippery iou'd prefer the break free, expert evasion if you find yourself dodging alot, celerity for speed. Its really a personal taste/playstyle. Also I noticed I spoke so fast there ill try slow it down in the next one. For dots my favourite has been fancy action bar. it shows both skills at the same time. This allows me to see everything before it falls off without being invasive to my UI. 🙂

[@geraltgrey-mane695]

@@RyanIsIffy wow, thank you so much. Yeah It was hard for me to hear there :D but when you write flex now I hear it haha >.

[@RyanIsIffy]

@Geralt Grey-Mane So the daggers skill line grants a couple passives. The most important is called "twin blade and blunt" With daggers equipped it increases our critical strike chance. With a staff youd have to run a precise trait on the weapon to try keep close, however because we get it passivley from daggers this allows us to run nirnhoned on the main hand for more damage and precise on the off to oush the crit chance even further. Its a personal choice really. While youll do more damage with the daggers, if you like the staff just run it youll be fine. In terms of sustain, at those low levels the build has barely started. Its important to remember that the passives from so many places really bring it together. Light and medium armour, Fighters guild, even psijic, it all has a place. But especially the Arcanists passives these create your sustain. So Yes its definitely a low level problem. If your really struggling you can morph it to magicka morph and swap it back when your more levelled. or just not cast it so it still gets exp to level. 🙂 I hope this helps.

[@geraltgrey-mane695]

@@RyanIsIffy thank you thank you! 😇🙏 You are the first to take your time to explain it to me =] feels better now hehe. I do love the range that comes with the staff. But I have grown to like the daggers now for how easy it is to hide them. Have grown little sick of seeing my staff on my back all of the time hehe. But I do prefer the range that comes with stavas hehe. Not sure what I do when I am 50 + later on :]

[@gamesking96ttv62]

Hey I’ve got a question would entropy be a good replacement for unstable wall or is it a must?

[@RyanIsIffy]

Unstable wall is very necessary as you use it to proc the enchantment on the back car, this results in about 450 weapon and spell damage. You could drop something else for it though if you desired. 😀

[@ItzLucidneo]

just asking cause i have never figured it out why do people use daggers with mag build how u supposed to refill your mag with heavy attacks?

[@RyanIsIffy]

A very fair question! First sorry for the late reply. Second. I cant speak for others but I try to build my builds around not needing to heavy attack, however if your in a situation where you need to then Id swap to my back bar and heavy there for mag, then return to front. I hope this helps.🙂

[@smiles_92]

can you show me your char stats with this build? only have a crit chance about 32%. how much do you have? did i anything wrong? except the monsterset, i builded it exactly like yours.

[@RyanIsIffy]

I’d need to log in, it should be around 53%+. I’m live 24/7 on twitch, make sure to stop by and ask, I’ll be happy to help and show. Just let me know your smiles from KZbin.

[@Oceanblade-ye6uv]

If you had to choose any 1 mythic for this build, what would you do?

[@RyanIsIffy]

Hmm if I had to choose 1 I think it would be velothi's amulet, otherwise sea serpent, otherwise pale order. Its so hard to choose lol but that would be my order

Is this build still viable?

[@RyanIsIffy]

Viable? Yes! Would I change some things? Yes! Will I update it soon? Very soon!

[@jdholbrook33]

This makes me want to buckle down and learn how to bar swap. I already have the deadly set. how would it pair with Pillar of Nirn?

[@RyanIsIffy]

Deadly + Nirn are a fantastic combination. Nirn is still one of the highest single trarget in the game. the combination of the 2 is good. Its not the best but its very good.🙂

[@jadedj5385]

Is there a beamless build that works nearly as well?

[@RyanIsIffy]

Not yet, There is one in the works it will be an oaken one. The thing is the beam is just SO strong and like 80% of the arcs damage. I'm sure we will see a beamless one in the near future but I dont think it will be close to as good

[@jadedj5385]

@@RyanIsIffy Thanks for the response. I enjoy that lower apm styles and classes (now) exist. I am by no means an elitist but my hands enjoy a certain level of engagement. I like the arcanist but I can tell I will need more from it even at the cost of some dps. Preferably not all XD. If I can hit 90k with it I am content. I just need another Pledge dps.

[@RyanIsIffy]

@Jaded J I completely understand. Upon release stop by the stream I think i might have an idea for you that could be super low apm but super high damage ❤️

[@mammasgullunge]

how u get that glow on ur weapon?

The green glow? That is the recuperative treatise skill :)

[@davidmacvicar334]

Hi looks very interesting. What is the pen this is giving, you sated Thief will be better than lover in another comment but pen doesnt look high at all. I did understand you are adding critical damage so need high base crit to make it worth while is that why Lover would result in lower dps?

[@RyanIsIffy]

Great question, Lover makes you over pen creating wasted stats, I "THINK" if i remember correctly its about 13-15k pen. Ill need to confirm this on live though. I just remember in testing I tried both and did 5k more on average with thief. (Tested on non trial dummy).

[@Despond]

It's actually not that insane now it's live. Extremely strong but nothing broken compared to many other solo builds.

[@RyanIsIffy]

Its ability to mitigate the damage and sustain isnt like others. Others heal through damage. This prevents the damage in the first place. 🙂

[@tcrjwj]

How would swapping Gourmand's for War Maiden work out? A little less crit, but insane spell damage.

[@RyanIsIffy]

It would be okay however you really do want consistent crit, as it usually outweighs spell damage/crit damage. Provided you've got an okay base first :)

[@Atrigraphy]

Is this still viable and strong?

[@RyanIsIffy]

Yes, although with update 40 around and so many changes I am tweaking all the builds.

[@sezginozcan854]

hello can you tell me addons for skills and hp bars ?
