Throwing my 2 cents in here - I'm a long time ESO player but always as a tank or healer. I'm garbage at dps but this build has made me *less* garbage. I primarily do PUG 4 person dungeons - this build is perfect for that. It's really fun to play, and my smooth brain can nearly keep up with it's rotation. Great work!
Bearin mind the written guide is to suppliment the video not replace it. All the information you need is in the video but the guide is there as a checklist/reminder of some of the basics. ENJOY! Written guide - http:www.xynodegaming.com/bfg Time stamps are in the description! NOTE: Slight miss wording in the video but a benefit none the less, YES the squid arms are buffed by the set in the gear section as it is a channel ;)
i love the arcanist so much honestly... like rn im making a tank build centered around throwing out as many possible buffs and debuffs as possible using the sustain of the arcanist to basically be the ULTIMATE support for the group... like i will say i have settled on using kynmarchers for my build with im thinking of using serpent's disdain and or possible jorvulds as the major options im looking at with jorvulds tho isnt seeming like it will be too useful with how many of the buffs are only like 5 to 10 seconds ones meaning the bonus would be a few seconds per buff at most which without having played a maxed out arcanist yet still is unclear to me as to whether that would be worth it with how much sustain the arcanist has and the uptime on those abilites so long as you have the sustain with apocryphal knowledge that gives you and group members around you major intellect, endurance, and fortitude seems like it would be more useful to a group setting especially with the minor intellect, endurance, and fortitude you already give out easily.
on top of that part of me also is thinking of using cowards gear plus fuan larks as well as kynmarchers or serpents disdain tho i feel like giving up being able to use nunatak as the builds monster set would be too dmging UNLESS you were playing with a group that doesnt do its dmg through crits but just through buffs like berserk and brutality.
honestly the amount of things serpents disdain can boost in duration is really awesome especially since its a flat 16 extra seconds to any debuff applied to an enemy which almost feels designed 100% for the arcanist and works so good to boost the hell outta kynmarcher's and nunatak to make them have basically a 100% uptime..........
Just got back from a couple of dungeons with this build. Good fun and easy to do. Things just melt. Although.. I feel a little childish with the green beam. Keep wanting to say "Don't cross the streams!!" - Venkman
I know this will be unpopular opinion but pillar of nirn is pretty much single target which is great for bosses but doesn't do much for you when you're beaming through 10 mobs in a line. Personally I actually prefer to run warmaiden or runecarvers with deadly. The thing about Rune Carver is that it had gotten nerfed and dismissed so people stopped testing it but that all happened before Arcanist came out and I think it just got forgotten about. It actually does quite well on arcanist imo. Both of those sets also produce great numbers. I highly recommend warmaiden for anybody that is struggling getting Nirn as you can farm it easily solo in the vvardenfell public dungeon
@MeSiah1S personally I preferred War Maiden. It gives you more damage against everything vs even more damage vs 1 thing. Also you can use War Maiden in no proc pvp, so there's that too. Both sets work very well, just do whatever you feel like. There's no wrong answer
I know it is only dummy humping but just hit my first 82k parse, it will only get better when i get better with the rotation. Dude well done on this build. It is awesome
I used this build to get the Spirit Slayer Trifecta a few weeks ago. However, I used the lover mundus and went with parse food. Any other content, I use it as directed, even hardmode trials. It's a very easy and fun build.
Thank you, I actually was doing my rotation wrong and firing flail too many times. Nice video, easy to understand. Never knew how cool the frost burst one was, so definitely using that now Gear set , bit hard for noobs, what's my alternative? For solo world boss farming with a companion and 2 bar for heals/off tank, did you have a build as well? Or just run the shield ultimate on 1 bar? I found in Necrom dungeon runs some of the boss have huge hits/1 shot kills/DoTs and I needed heals ( pugs seems dog eat dog, so need to be able to handle your own heals ) ~ Id love a two bar setup or modified 1 bar set up?
Question: I have a lot of deadly strike armor pieces, and pillar of nirn jewelry . Which is basically the reverse of what you have in your build. Does it matter what goes where as long as it’s the same complete sets and I have all the right enchantments/traits?
in case someone still stumbles upon this: deadly set is great, but dont get the daggers, too expensive. you can either get the bow or any other pieces to get the full set bonus. i prefer a lightning staff from another set and got two more cheap armor pieces. unless you minmax in endgame staff is just as good as dual daggers, same with bow. and its a lot cheaper for beginners.
I was planning on using deadly rune Carver Jewls and inferno staff and oaken.. idk if itll all work but hopefully gonna push the dps with a cat and the dots
Dark elf is great - I use this build (except I replaced Nirn with Orders wrath) and I love it with the dark elf. Plus the flame resistance is amazing since I die a lot 😂
Messes with timing and survival a lot hence the decision made for that morph. PLUS in content the longer the beam the more likely you are to interrupt it with mechanics (blocks/dodges/interrupts/etc). Went through many different scenarios to weigh up the differences and the choice in the video out weighed every time in actual content vs dummy number humping :)
4:13 are you sure about that? I thought the same but I’ve noticed sometimes I only get 1 crux so I assumed there was an ICD that disables allowing more than 1 crux to be built per second. There’s been lots of times I’ve used runeblades while having 0 crux and this buff up, and I’ve only generated 1 crux instead of 2 like I thought I would, which is the reason for my assumption.
Yes it works. that is why it is in the video ; ) Even demonstrated in the rotation section. Sometimes visually the crux don't always appear around the player, but they are stacked correctly in the buff timers.
@@xynodegaming Thanks for clarifying that. I didn’t think about the visual aspect being separate from the buff timer. That makes more sense. Appreciate the detail in this guide. :-)
Am I doing something wrong with this setup? I can't even kill the 2nd boss on vet Selene's Web compared to completing the whole dungeon with my Deadly/Orders Wrath Magicka setup. Also my penetration and health is 2k less. Critical chance is 48% and stamina is 4k less. I'm just very confused with a lot of builds using this set up but I'm getting no where near the stats and I die almost instantly in vet dungeons.
What kind of damage are you getting with this build? If you mentioned it, I missed it sorry. DPS is important when comparing builds to pursue, even if not everyone will hit those same numbers.
If you have nirn+deadly, with two bar you can easily get 100k dps without trial gear. Most of the times one bar oakensoul build videos are kinda pointless, unless because of some reason you can’t play with two bar.
@@kalender4176 I think there's too much hate for Oakensoul. Yes, it's easier, and yes you can hit harder with two bar builds. But the resistances are hard to beat so survivability is great. I do more damage when I'm alive.
For one bar, Oakensoul is really your only option. But numbers people are hitting with it are nowhere near as high as you can get with the Amulet and two bars. So this build is about novelty, ease of use, and survivability, not high DPS. With the Amulet and Coral Riptide+Deadly I'm hitting over 100k and people I know are hitting well over 120k. If anyone is hitting 90k on this build they are not speaking up. People are quoting 70s and low 80s. For content I'm running the Amulet, Ansuul's, and Deadly, so I don't have to play the Coral minigame.
I run basically the same build as Mag, i use the 5 second weapon buff that gives sustain back, and I use Structured Entropy instead of Arcanists Rune. I don’t have any sustain issues, with the heals from Entropy and the shields you are almost unkillable
Yup! The shoulder is the option because of accessibility. Unlocking a box with a key is far easier than a veteran dungeon for a vast proportion of the community. However, if you have the helm or want to go get it, the stats(resists etc) are exactly the same for a shoulder as they are for a helm. They are identical. So long as your traits and glyphs are correct, the result will be identical :)
I am running this same basic build but with a bow with poison injection instead of daggers with cloak for range play...and can switch over to endless hail for AOE and trash pulls....
It's not mentioned because it is in a full video about combat settings, it's a choice. However having them turned ON actually allows you to see your crux stacks so some people may want to keep it. ruclips.net/video/kURTJ7hyO_M/видео.html
Can you just do a normal - good build for pve dps that people could actually use in anything other than pugs, basic vets or normals. No one who seriously does Hardmode content and further content uses these builds in optimised groups.

YESSSSSSSSSS!!! Your builds are they best!!!
Another excellent build. Your videos are excellent, easy to understand and execute. Much thanks!
Thanks for this, hits like a truck in dungeons, just what I need. Much needed love for stamina characters ❤
Long time fan of your vids!! Thanks again!!!
DARK ELF MASTER RACE !!!
Great job as always Xy! Eager to try this out!
Once again, stupid levels of awesomeness! I need to be able to hop over to England and buy you a beer. Maybe two... ;)
Hell yes, I have been waiting for your dps arcanist builds. Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep it up great job as always
I know it is only dummy humping but just hit my first 82k parse, it will only get better when i get better with the rotation. Dude well done on this build. It is awesome
On a one bar build..that's pretty much your max..
@thewatlingtons6047 might be, but it will do all content and do it well so I am good with that. Not into score pushing.
I used this build to get the Spirit Slayer Trifecta a few weeks ago. However, I used the lover mundus and went with parse food. Any other content, I use it as directed, even hardmode trials. It's a very easy and fun build.
Ngl I've been going with a bow build and I really like it adding volley for more aoe
Finally. Been waiting for this!!!
Thank you xy! Big question: if I don’t like to play melee can I change daggers for staff? It is viable? What should I change?
Whats the single target DPS of this build?
I was able to figure out why my problems was. Ty for answering in live stream 🎉
What was your problem with the build? How did you resolve it? This information might possibly be useful to the rest of us.
Same as above ^^^
Thank you, I actually was doing my rotation wrong and firing flail too many times.
Nice video, easy to understand.
Never knew how cool the frost burst one was, so definitely using that now

Nice Name for this Build ^^ the Doom Slayer would be proud ^^
How come I don't have 51% crit like you? Im sitting on 49% after i made the build exactly the same, except I'm not an Orc I'm a Dark elf...
These upcoming 43 changes to Flail have me very worried about this legendary build. How will we make up for the execute loss of dps?
Question: I have a lot of deadly strike armor pieces, and pillar of nirn jewelry . Which is basically the reverse of what you have in your build. Does it matter what goes where as long as it’s the same complete sets and I have all the right enchantments/traits?
He does mention this in the video.
It doesn't matter. They're both medium armor

Nice! I like it. I thought deadly will buff the squid arm since it’s technically a channeled ability?
it does, miswording in the video. LONG day llol
Helló :)
I would like to ask you, only orc is good to this build or dark elf is good too?
Dark elf is great - I use this build (except I replaced Nirn with Orders wrath) and I love it with the dark elf. Plus the flame resistance is amazing since I die a lot 😂
@@caitlinisreading thank you🙂
Would exhausting fatecarver still be a viable morph for this set up, or would it mess with the timing of the rotation too much?
Messes with timing and survival a lot hence the decision made for that morph. PLUS in content the longer the beam the more likely you are to interrupt it with mechanics (blocks/dodges/interrupts/etc).
Went through many different scenarios to weigh up the differences and the choice in the video out weighed every time in actual content vs dummy number humping :)
@@xynodegaming Appreciate the response! Thanks so much for the help.
Sorry for a stupid question but why use dual wielding daggers when you dont use any melee damage at all? Or am i missing something ?
4:13 are you sure about that? I thought the same but I’ve noticed sometimes I only get 1 crux so I assumed there was an ICD that disables allowing more than 1 crux to be built per second. There’s been lots of times I’ve used runeblades while having 0 crux and this buff up, and I’ve only generated 1 crux instead of 2 like I thought I would, which is the reason for my assumption.

nice and simple just how i like my complicated builds ;)
How do you farm Deadly Strike in Cyrodiil? Is it just a case of doing anchors & delves?
You can buy them with alliance points from Bruma's merchant if it is occupied by your alliance. It's like 12K AP a piece
Why Inspired Scholarship and not Recuperative Treatise? It also regenerates recourses. What's the difference between this 3 sec and 5 sec "pulse"?
What kind of damage are you getting with this build? If you mentioned it, I missed it sorry. DPS is important when comparing builds to pursue, even if not everyone will hit those same numbers.
about 83k.
If you have nirn+deadly, with two bar you can easily get 100k dps without trial gear. Most of the times one bar oakensoul build videos are kinda pointless, unless because of some reason you can’t play with two bar.
@@kalender4176 I think there's too much hate for Oakensoul. Yes, it's easier, and yes you can hit harder with two bar builds. But the resistances are hard to beat so survivability is great. I do more damage when I'm alive.
Demon Beam 💚
Where do I get the deadly daggers from and how do you get them
Hi, does it matter if a light slimecraw is on the head, instead of shoulders?
You think it's better to run oakensoul instead of velothi-ur mage's amulet for the mythic?
For one bar, Oakensoul is really your only option. But numbers people are hitting with it are nowhere near as high as you can get with the Amulet and two bars. So this build is about novelty, ease of use, and survivability, not high DPS. With the Amulet and Coral Riptide+Deadly I'm hitting over 100k and people I know are hitting well over 120k. If anyone is hitting 90k on this build they are not speaking up. People are quoting 70s and low 80s. For content I'm running the Amulet, Ansuul's, and Deadly, so I don't have to play the Coral minigame.
Would mag version of this build be basically the same?
Mag is worse. Sustain issues as example
I run basically the same build as Mag, i use the 5 second weapon buff that gives sustain back, and I use Structured Entropy instead of Arcanists Rune. I don’t have any sustain issues, with the heals from Entropy and the shields you are almost unkillable
If I already have a Slimecraw mid helm, can I use that and use Nirn for the shoulders? Or am I missing something?
yup perfectly fine
Great video but I can't seem to find the ability called "Squid Arms"
How much does this parse for?
hi how much of a dps loss is it if we use shock or frost weapon glyphs?
Is this build still of actuality (aughust 2024), before i invest the effort? TY
"Bible-Beam" 😂
thanks. whats that UI addon youre using?
Been waiting for this shhhhh
Does ruencarver work on this build instead of pillar?
nice, i’m gonna switch cloak for some extra heals and solo pve stuff gg
Infused dagger if grouped and nirnhoned if solo?
im not really into pvp buuuuttt does it work well in it?>
I mean...it'll get kills ;) lol
Why not wear both pieces of slinecrawl?
Could I go slime head in light one piece deadly body then 5 nirn?
Yup! The shoulder is the option because of accessibility. Unlocking a box with a key is far easier than a veteran dungeon for a vast proportion of the community. However, if you have the helm or want to go get it, the stats(resists etc) are exactly the same for a shoulder as they are for a helm. They are identical. So long as your traits and glyphs are correct, the result will be identical :)
Need to show dps at the end
Whats the dps of this, in the current update?
I am running this same basic build but with a bow with poison injection instead of daggers with cloak for range play...and can switch over to endless hail for AOE and trash pulls....
New one bar dk build
So what is the DPS like on this?
I'm enjoying this class but the beam is a bit janky and you should be able to turn off aim assist, it also preforms averagely in pvp with hit box
You can turn off aim assist in settings
So stamina better than magic?
Question: Why is this a stam build? Wouldnt a mag build be 1:1 identical?
Cause
Does this work in update 40?
yes
What is the dps ?
Same question
another tip you dont mention, is specifically for one bar builds, turn off permenant effects and the clutter on your effect bar will vanish instantly
It's not mentioned because it is in a full video about combat settings, it's a choice. However having them turned ON actually allows you to see your crux stacks so some people may want to keep it. ruclips.net/video/kURTJ7hyO_M/видео.html
anyone know if this is still worth u41?
Boooom!
Im running perfected sul xans torment and nirn on my arcanist its a good time:)
What would be the best companion for this build?
I love Azandar. It really complements the build and I turn him into a tank and it’s GREAT for running content.
And honestly … Sharp is a great option because I can make him a warden tank or have him heal me
Is there an alternative to deadly strike?
Coral riptide and I heard ansuuls torment is quite good
Where’s the fashion motif style you had for your orc arcanist that looked like a Mortal Combat character? It was wayyyyyyy better than this imo
Pretty sure Deadly does buff Squid arms
Actually technically it should since it had a channel time.
“Sa-Fel-E-Arcs” Flail 🎉
Thank-You-Still-Calling-It-Squid-Arms
Would Dagons be more beneficial than pillar of nirn?
Can you just do a normal - good build for pve dps that people could actually use in anything other than pugs, basic vets or normals.
No one who seriously does Hardmode content and further content uses these builds in optimised groups.
You are so wrong bruv. My entire dung trifecta team runs these builds and/or HA builds. Soooo.... 😗
So i lost dps using untamed aggression over exploiter 🤷🏻♂️
How much are you hitting for?
Good alternative instead of deadly strikes as don't like pvp
you can BUY it from the guild traders. It's tradeable
@@xynodegaming pretty sure it's too expensive. So the other one you recommend is briarheart?
This build exposes yourself. Not maximized enough, no parse on athro. Race is wrong too.
Pretty much, set choices are weak.
Defenitly weak
No offense, but I trust Xy more than I trust you, anonymous internet commenter
Then don’t use it.
console/gamepad ui really sucks
Can pillar be gear and deadly the rest?
