Initially, I went exactly the route of these amor sets too. But in actual group fights against me, it turned out it needs healing sets or sets to reduce damage from players. They kept me much longer in the fight. Snow Treaders, to ignore purgeable disabling effects + Battalion Defender, to gain health from block + Hist Sap, to gain health from disabling effects + Heartland 3% or Swift 10% to remove 13 % damage from players.
Very interestin build. Playin Arcanist as stam-version actually. Don't really understand this class. Will give ur build a try. It's well explained like almost - short & on the top. Thx & keep on ur work
I just think it's about time they something with those sets because it's been sitting in the bank for a long time we use to do this with blazing shield on the templar
I tried the build with left handers aegis the shield has no cooldown and is pretty big , free role in cp instead of sustain by suffering . It worked pretty well against 5 or 6 people. The bombs are easier to do inside the emp keeps or outposts. The guards dont run away like people so you do take damage . avoid the oils though lol
@@irishned6464i’d be pretty ignorant to think people wont catch on quick on how to counter it when there is videos and info about it everywhere.

Even if they do zergling players are mindless and attack anything thats not their faction, so I think they'll still do it even if they know how it works
@@prisonmykee2595 Yea allot of people will catch on, no doubt.

It looks like you found something that really is broken. All of the damage absorbed by the other shields is counting towards the dot. Fully charged it should be a 6k/s aoe dot before any resistance? Getting 20k odd ticks here.
@@esolucacash penetration matters. Also try deadly strikes and malakath. They both encrease the damage of the shield. Hoarcrux uploaded that kind of build some days ago already, and his damage output with his shield is allaround the same, may be even more, but he is not a useless miserable tank with no offensive skills. He has 5 light there and 2 sharpened deadly maces. When the shield is cracked, he swaps to the bar with maces and stays there, for DOT to deal extreme damage.
@@skulpturostone4621 My own build has 'only' 51k HP but can do decent dmg and utility outside of the ulti window. I considered exactly THIS build (Luca's) when I was theorycrafting Arcanist pre-launch, but ultimately decided that I didn't want to be a one trick pony, as it wouldn't shine even for a whole BG. People would just ignore you.
nothing has changed so far on this build ;) i could do a "immortal" tank instead, but did already some in the past on necro kinda bored atm, maybe in the near future again
Have you considered From the Brink as your 3rd or 4th blue CP. Gives about 11-12k shield to you or an ally when healed by you at 25% health. With your passives and battle spirit it should still give you a 6-8k damage shield when you get low. It has cool down to about 30 seconds, but if you really just trying to hold on there to your shield goes off it might come in handy.
Psa, you CAN buff the shields danage with abyssal ink. I tested it thoroughly and it gives 5% increase to the returned damage. I didnt get to test vulnerability or berserk yet though.
Wouldn't biting aura and thaumaturge buff the damage from the blue tree? Might not show in the tool tip as this is quoting the shield size. Also, worth throwing down razor caltrops on a flex spot?
This is a very old build, people been running plague and warriors poet since wardenfell, only difference is the mythic piece. Good thing about this build is through all the nerfs patches and changes, this build pretty much has stayed the same, still solid as a rock
@@esolucacashive been kicking around and came back to this vid after seeing the armor master set which gives you a bonus 5% hp and like 5k extra spell and physical resistance too. honestly i think if you could work the armor ability in than it would proly make this build beyond tanky since the bonus 5% of front bar would always be active and the resitance boost lasts for 10 seconds meaning you dont need to spam cast whichever morph of unstoppable you would wanna go with :D
@@esolucacash 3:25 well scratch the using unstoppable as a cast part since i forgot that one but than i guess it comes down to, is the 5% bonus better than plague doctor in terms of total health it gives which i would imagine on a health stacking build, more percentage boost would probably turn out better tho it does come with 2 armor meaning your losing out on not just 2300 health from plague doctors 5 piece but also an extra 2400 from the 2 set bonus's of health being swapped to armor, nvm that it makes you take less dmg which again, not what you want. XD man i wanna find something that boosts the health value EVEN HIGHER but finding something that can do more than this is a tall task i see XD
@@esolucacash yeah dude it sucks that they nerfed it into the ground completely. What’s the point of making sets to help control damage output of zergs if they are just going to nerf it to the ground and forget about it. So many sets that have potential to be in the meta but because of whining about “op” it gets nerfed. Harbinger was literally fine the problem was the idiots attacking.
Thought this would be fun to try, but even if you survive the 10 seconds to get the dmg output (which can be tough) your reward is to watch all your intended victims simply run away from you.. you're super slow to begin with and now you're out of stam because you used it all to pop shields and break cc so you cant sprint...not giving up on it yet though
Looks ridicilously annoying to deal with! But I think Gaze of Sithis will be better mythic than majesty, since you not blocking with this setup anyway.
Blazing shield templar clone. Nothing new ZOS invented. They made an Ultimate out of templars Blazing Shield 🛡️. Get some penetration, U need that. Make one bar with a lot of pen. And Deadly strikes may be. 15% of tooltip is much higher then you can reach by crippling your build with high HP choices.
@@esolucacash if that has the same mechanic, that blazing shield, then higher pen will encrease the damage. The tooltip will not change, but the amount of enemy's mitigation will be lesser. So the actual damage on players will encrease. You may have the highest tooltip ever, but without you having any penetration, I will mitigate half of the damage just by swapping to my backbar. And there is also battle spirit, major'n'minor protection, evasion... Blazing shield builds needed penetration. At least, on 1 bar.

Damage return is one of my favorite play styles from gw1 good to see it on eso
It was about time for this build to come to light, very nice ^^ Plague Doctor was wonderful

Trying this one for Power Tank. Running DPS Ark now.
Damn.... this is the first time I'm actually considering forking out cash to get access to this class.
Just imagine an emperor with all keeps running this build, sits around 110k max health
oh ye emp would be insane :D
My Warden sits at 91k! I'll have Arcanist there soon!
@JLawL that sounds fun. what do you run?
this is what machinegod is doing

hmm you would lose a ton of dmg if you role dodge during the shield ulti, 25-30k max hits seems impossible if you avoid the dmg
Imagine having a buddy with Dark Convergence into a fear with you sitting there. OUCH
oh yeah will hurt
😂😂😂😂 I was waiting for this one lol. It’s been fun while it lasts but I bet it gets some cap against players. I went with Imperial
That looks like fun! Good Zerg killer, hopefully they don’t catch on, and learn how to counter it.

What motif style is that sword and shield?
it was something from the crown store "Soulrazer"
What is that blue glowie on sword and shield
a crown store style called "Soulrazer Style"
I'll still pack you up while playing on steam deck. 😅😅😅 badass build man.
Out of curiosity if you threw on brands of the imperium would that shield hinder this build at all?
ye because you need a ton of max hp, otherwise the shieldsize is not enough to "onehit"
It looks like you found something that really is broken. All of the damage absorbed by the other shields is counting towards the dot. Fully charged it should be a 6k/s aoe dot before any resistance? Getting 20k odd ticks here.
The aoe doesnt tick every sec so the damage is shared between less tick so bigger damage per tick
@@mrhappytouch8048 good point.
What other mythic instead of Death Dealer's Fete?
sithis could also work with the extra hp
Test it With one bar and Master axe Shield for me better for sustain
Well that's getting a nerf hammer to the gut on Monday 😂
Wouldnt Absorb Missile instead of Defensive Stance be better? As you won't actually be blocking
i usually still block after the shield expires but absorb missile should work too
What is that sword and shield you have?
It's art!
Hi, what do you think about gaze of sithis?
should also work instead of fete, but the 4k armor will reduce your dmg output, coudn´t test it though

yes still works!
that is an absolute disgusting build any updates on it since its been 5 months ???
Hey man im having Trouble with the rotation could you help me?
take a look here: ruclips.net/video/jk4AeCuTzfg/видео.html
trouble with what in particular?
@@esolucacash i watched the whole video and it seems that i dont deal enough damage to kill anyone

alright thanks for info mate!

Greetings! Could you please check this build link? Looks like this one is little bit broken and no available now 🥲
the old build links via discord are sadly broken, you need to watch the video for the build ;)

yes but you coudn´t onehit people back then, because it only works with the arcanist ultimate :D
do ya think harbinger, pariah, and that one armor boost set that makes your armor higher the lower your hp set might be better?
nope you need to stack as much hp as possible otherwise the shieldsize=dmg will be not enough

Tbh I love this build for a good troll if have a warden healer with u maybe replace warden heal with vd idk I’d think it be funny if that could work
Will this build work with a one bar build?
hmm ye could work i guess, didn´t test it with oakensoul
Wouldnt be better with oaken soul? You generate 1 ulti per second with the set
this build is based on max hp! less hp means less dmg absorb = less dmg, so fete is needed
Nice build! But u have try Thews of the Harbinger set?
That set was nerfed to shit
nah harbringer is not worth anymore tbh

not needed for this build ;) spam runic embrace to build them up if you prefer to have some
Is this stil vaible
hi , good build thanks , just one question : Vampire or not ?
no vampire, but you could be one for the "undeath" passive for more tankyness
U think dk or plar better than arcanist or no
Your build work with a khajiit too?
sure better choice would be a race with hp

Hello brother, does this build still work?
hey mate, no clue didn´t test it since they´ve changed the ultimate -.-
Sithis Skooma 😊
Does this build still work or no did they nerf it already
still works look here: ruclips.net/video/VR_pJDqjk-E/видео.html
is this even doable in no cp?
puh good question, didn´t test it in no cp
dmg will be way less i guess without cps

Just keep your distance
This build possible for PvE?

have fun!
@@esolucacash i die to fast :(
lol
see the ulti. Don't attack. it's an easily avoidable death but with many pve'ers that don't know easy kills.
try it out! there are always people attacking :D

doesn´t scale with pen or any other bonus!

should be "Soulrazer" style, was in crown store for gems/endeavors long time ago
