Important Info for Magicka Necromancer Build PvE

Here you can find information about what race, buff-food, potions & poisons you want to use. I also do list all the passives that you need for this setup.

Buff-food

Mundus Stone

You want to make sure to use the Shadow Mundus Stone, this will be nice especially during the execute where you can reach a 100% Spell Critical Chance due to the passive Death Knell.

Shadow Mundus (Increased Critical Damage)

Attributes

All into Magicka

Undead Confederate gives us 200 extra Magicka Recovery as long as we keep up our Skeletal Arcanist.

Mystic Siphon also returns Magicka as long as it is active.

Energy Orb will always be present in a good group. When you get close to the Orb you can activate its synergy to regain resources.

Potions should always be used on cooldown to gain the maximum benefit from them.

Heavy Attacks help you restore Magicka, if you drop low on resources do a few Heavy Attacks between skills to refill your Magicka.

• Undead Confederate
• Mystic Siphon
• Orb Synergy
• Potions
• Heavy Attack

Rotation

Also please check out the “Weaving Beginner Guide” which explains how to weave light attacks between abilities, aka animation canceling.

Whenever possible, activate things like the Skeletal Mage, Channeled Acceleration and Blastbones before the fight starts, that way you gain some burst advantage.

Unstable Wall of Elements > LA > Unnerving Boneyard > LA > Weapon Swap

LA > Blastbones > LA > Skeletal Mage > LA > Ricochet Skull > LA > Blastbones > LA > Mystic Siphon > LA > Ricochet Skull > LA > Blastbones > LA > Mystic Orb >  Weapon Swap

Restart

• Use Ultimate whenever it is ready
• LA = Light Attack

How to Play Beginner Video Guide

This Video is not directly tied to the build, it is here to introduce you to the class and show you a general setup that you can play.

Area of Effect Setup

Here you can find an optimized AoE setup for your build. This will help increase your damage on trash packs during dungeons & trials. You can choose any magicka based Monster Set, I prefer Iceheart because it provides so much damage mitigation.
