Love this tried a bit in Cyrodiil last night just to see the crit damage, great crit damage, I have mothers sorrow gold jewellery and flame staff made toruc body set. I have mealstom healing staff survivability is good also. Nice build 👍👍
Torugs has worked for me on every build I've tried it. Its even better than old viper with DW double infused poison/oblivion weapons. It's also really good on SnB ransack bash builds too.
thank you for this build, i just joined a BG’s (Deathmatch), it was already in progress and the team i joined was in last place. by the end, we got the win and i got The Merciless title. as this was just a test, i was running Witchmother’s but i can see how the added survivability buffs from the Filet could be even better. thanks again!
Crowwell Dodger i love to stealth, and i spend a lot of time in cyrodiil so i’m used to the necessity of survivability. i’m sure i got lucky too. one of the ways to survive in BG’s is to back off and hide so you can restore resources and keep them guessing at your location. but a good player is still a good player and will wreck you if you’re not careful. oh, and try not to overextend, as that has been the cause of many of my deaths😅 don’t forget to roll dodge
Crowwell Dodger sorry, i got sidetracked, you commented on the damage aspect. i guess play around with your rotation and see what allows you to really lay the smack down on opponents. try to focus on the same players as the rest of your group, and communicate with your team to eliminate enemies efficiently. i’m also thinking my addition of bloodthirsty was helpful in getting the final blows
use jewels of misrule so you can go for all spell dmg glyphs, it'll only be slightly more dmg but also more stam regen and allow MS jewellery to remain good for PvE for players that aren't rich but play all content.
Kristopher, I've been running this build and LOVING it. With the racial changes in Wrathstone, do you think Altmer is still the best choice for this build, or would the extra Stamina/flame resist/burning immunity from the Dunmer work better? Thanks in advance and keep up the good work?
I'm not that good at ESO, tried it at launch, and I'm looking to get back into the game. And I got a couple of questions here regarding this build: 1. can you run this kind of a "life steal" nightblade as a more of a DoT build? Like with cripple for example. 2. is crit just that op? like would it work to use something like entropy to boost magic damage by 20% instead of the crit rating mage light one? and generally just focus more on base damage and not on crit. 3. Is weakness to elements any good? Major breach sounds really good, but does lowering resistances really help? 4. Do summons like magelight and wraith stay up when you change bars? I mean I'm personally kind of intimidated by the whole crit aspect, like it seems to be REALLY gear dependent and only scale well and reliably with a very progressed character. Because like the crit dmg and crit chance scale so well with each other, and require a lot of both to really do anything. So like would spectral bow hit for anything, if used with something like entropy, weakness to elements, and the guaranteed stealth crit?
looks good, i've gone for melee magblade this patch and it's working decently so far! really tanky too in the setup i'm running if you wanna check it out
Really dope build man, definitely going to have to try it out. How do you feel about Khajiit as an option with the addition of 8% Spell crit chance in the racial change patch?
I absolutely love rhe video, im gonna try out the build aswell. I got the mother’s sorrow set, but combined with Necropotence atm. U think this can work aswell? (58% spell crit) Is this still viable in Elsweyr? Keep up your content please, you are doing great!
The shitty thing about the crit now is everyone is running heavy armor and high resistances right now so I feel like penetration is gonna be more important this patch that's why I think it isnt running as good, hopefully he replies lol and updates
I've tried playing magblade quite a few times, but it never felt right and the results sucked so if he back to stamina. Today I decided to try one last time and found your build. It's pretty nasty. I feel tanky, but put out some good damage. I don't have the Psijic line yet so I swapped it out for debilitate and it's working fine. Thinks for the build.
Ok i tried it out, went with the same setup, same bufffood, all the same, but even though its deals tons of dmg in cp campaign, it snot that good in non cp and with all the frost aoes rn and sload builds and bow ganks, tbh it feels a little much like a glass cannon... even tough torug ist just amazing performing
I just came back to the game and have an EP NB. Is there a guild you could recommend that would take in an old player for pvp? Thank you for the guide.
I love mag style gank blade! One question tho. Does concealed weapon have to be on bar at all for this build or can I flex spot that for something else? Possible purge for back bar recovery and for cleanse? Or mark for more spell pen on tanky opponents? Thanks in advance!!!
Eternal_Genin he’s just slotting it for the extra speed in stealth. I think he likes having high speed on this build, but you could probably slot something else if you want
JaeMamba vamp applies to sneak I know that for fact but I’ve never slotted conceal since I was informed by another RUclipsd it doesn’t stack only one applies but that’s was over a year ago so maybe it changed idk but I’m trying it out tonight
JaeMamba okay verified the concealed weapon bonus. It applies to shadow disguise stealth movement while vamp passive applies to sneak speed. If you have both youll have speed buff consistently while on back bar.
What triggers the enchants of a weapon? I did a naked test with only wearing torug's pact with a destro staff infused and another test wearing just kragnerac's hope with also an infused destro staff. Kragnerac had higher dps. Do certain skills trigger more damage for torugs? i did a weave of light attack and swallow soul and krag just had better dps.
Weapon enchants will proc on light/heavies and weapon skills only. Infused torugs has about 1.5 sec cooldown between procs. In a DPS parse torugs may not hold up to some of these other sets. But this is a PvP build that focuses on burst damage, and torugs will outburst krags by a long shot.
@@KristoferESO ah ok, thanks for clarification. My magblade will try it out with either spinner or mother's sorrow. I might also craft a medium with 2 sword for my werewolf warden. I heard people hate them. I will combine it with viper and velidreth.
I'm only 545 cp but putting major dmg on 810s.. Battlegrounds!? Been slaughtering. Thank you for this. UPDATE: 2 weeks later... Achievements: Battleground butcher Relic runner Paragon The merciless Thanks again. They hate me 😂
I just tried the build to a point (dont have psijiic). I even upgraded all items to yellow. Not sure if i went up against UBER tanky people in BGs. It just didn't seem to hit that hard. Are you able to do well in BGs with this build or is it really meant for open world? Thanks!
"Hitting hard" isn't as important as you stacking your combo. Timing your burst with practice is what makes this build hit hard. Combine that with high crit chance and health bars will disappear!
@@daledelatte9607 Thanks. I tried again lastnight. Turns out the people in that first BG were just uber tanky. I used valk scoria because it helped me feal a bit tankier and add to the burst. I was timing my burst off the drop of a comet and utterly destroying people. Thanks for the build! @Kristofer ESO, ITs solid and allows for some easy modifications for anyone's play style while still working very well.!
a staff counts as 2 pieces to a 5 piece set bonus, so when he's on his front bar with mother's sorrow staff, it will be 5 piece (staff + ring + boots + legs)
So I'm not max CP how do I scale that down I have run mothers sorrow on all my pve content but never really did pvp not sure where to start as far as cp goes
20m stealth detect pots are such bullshit. Gap-closers are 22m and most PBAoE attacks are capped at around 10 metres. They shouldn't be any better for pulling people out of stealth than PBAoE attacks like spin-to-win. Coupled with lag, and there's just no counter to someone popping stealth detect. The only saving grace is how few people run them. If even 25% of players used them, cloak would be completely pointless.
Every time I see Shadowgrabber (DC player at 35:32 ) in any clip I just get so pissed. Like that guy started harassing me and making very not okay threats involving sexual assault when he found out I was a girl. ZOS didn't do a thing.
Cuervo666 I’m playing it right now with mostly purples and not everything enchanted and I’m doing a lot of damage in BGs. Over 500k in most games and I break 1m damage in longer matches.

darren webb are you currently still running this, if not... what is the reason u changed? 😁
Love the way you use easy-to-come-by armour and that you explain everything! Can't wait to try this out! Thank you! ;D
Loved the stam build! Gonna have to use the mag build!!!

oh i forgot i also have bloodthirsty instead of arcane, because sometimes you need that extra push so they actually die

From stealth with the Shadowy Disguise, you do have a 100% crit chance for 3 seconds. Out of stealth is when higher crit chance helps skills.
Subbed right away when I saw an ESO youtube posting videos from playing on PC! :-D
This build is sooo good, can't wait to gold it out, this is the first time I've enjoyed playing my magblade.
Hey Kris, thanks for that build update. Its great as always. Nice to see your face again. You look pretty healthy and mature, and good as always :D
HHHHEEEEEYYYYYY I've been waiting for one of these, i really lovs your vids dude, i dont know how you do it all with the lag and everything
Felt the power of this build at chal yesterday. Torched my mag den lmao. Knew the vid was comin soon! Happy holidays see ya in cyro
Merry Christmas Jack 🎅✝️⛄
Race changed to khajit for the win! For a crit build its well balanced and it’s insane how fast players melt away!
Awesome build this looks so fun!!
Please update this build again soon. It’s so much fun.
Wow amazing video and build gonna use this build and make a mag blade ty so much friend.
Nice video Kris. Can you share your full passives also?
Great vid merry Xmas Chris

Curious myself if there are any beneficial changes to this build
30:25 This clip made me wonder if 1vX might actually not be dead!
It's not dead, just have to be more cautious about who you kill first and environment is everything
I think we really need an update for this build :)

it be cool to know if this is still good or to see an update
is this build still good now ?

plnkfloydian is it doable on murkmire?if so can u share your builds skills sets cp etc?
Just curious if you feel you are gimping yourself not running a Siphoning ability on the backbar?
Good build once you get used to it. Mine isn't as good because on only 657 cp and my staffs are still purple but still does decent damage
How do you have 5 pieces of mothers sorrow when youre only wearing 4 pieces of it? Ring Staff Shoes and Cuirass
staff is 2
Gonna run somthing like this in non vet in kyne. X5 torugs, x5 julianos with the x2 seducer back bar!
Thx for the Video... What are those shoulders?
hey Kristofer im new to ESO, and im trying to go with your build, but i would like to know about passives which one i should focus first.
Any adjustments you'd make for non-cp?
Ok i tried it out, went with the same setup, same bufffood, all the same, but even though its deals tons of dmg in cp campaign, it snot that good in non cp and with all the frost aoes rn and sload builds and bow ganks, tbh it feels a little much like a glass cannon... even tough torug ist just amazing performing
This build hits really hard in bgs
Nice build i do the stamblade verson griffenw and archers mind with shadow mundas.
Same concept but melee
Do you have PVE/PVP is it possible to switch between a pvp and pve my build is dark elf pve mag sorc
I just came back to the game and have an EP NB. Is there a guild you could recommend that would take in an old player for pvp? Thank you for the guide.
I love mag style gank blade! One question tho. Does concealed weapon have to be on bar at all for this build or can I flex spot that for something else? Possible purge for back bar recovery and for cleanse? Or mark for more spell pen on tanky opponents? Thanks in advance!!!
Eternal_Genin he’s just slotting it for the extra speed in stealth. I think he likes having high speed on this build, but you could probably slot something else if you want
JaeMamba but conceal doesn’t stack with vamp sneak speed passive so isn’t it wasted unless you use it just for stun?
Eternal_Genin it works with with vamp. Also, I think the vamp speed bonus only applies to sneaking and not shadowy disguise. (I could be wrong though)
JaeMamba vamp applies to sneak I know that for fact but I’ve never slotted conceal since I was informed by another RUclipsd it doesn’t stack only one applies but that’s was over a year ago so maybe it changed idk but I’m trying it out tonight

How are you managing to get the full bonuses for two sets plus two monster pieces (albeit they're not full benefit) slightly confused

Everyone I know has detect pots on PC EU. It's a ballache but there's just to many stamblades in cyro so even as a mageblade I can understand why.
Cloak needs a cost multiplier like sorc streak and I would be okay with that
If they get rid of all sources of stealth detection and all AoEs except ground placed ones bringing you out of cloak, i'd be happy with that, ye.
If they take out the ability to cloak out of damage over time, that would be cool
Sure, if the DoTs still do damage but don't take you out of cloak.
do you ever use major sorcery?
what enchant you use on jewelry

How would spinners work instead of mothers sorrow?
