Introduction

Welcome to the Magicka Nightblade Build PvP “Bomb” for Elder Scrolls Online. Make sure to bookmark the link as I will keep updating the build for each new Update of ESO.

The Magicka Nightblade PvP Build „Bomb” is optimized for Cyrodiil. The build is used to blow up tightly stacked groups, for example on flags on an outpost or in a keep. The more people the better! The chances are high that you also kill yourself, but after all you will gain a lot of AP. To make this work we are stacking a lot of offensive sets like Balorgh, which is a new set that drops in one of the Wolfhunter DLC Dungeons that adds an insane amount of Spell and Weapon Damage to you, with the right modifiers you can gain over 1200+ Spell Damage from that set alone, which is crazy. The second set is the all famous bomber set Vicious Death which makes people explode once they die, causing a huge chain reaction, especially vicious on stacked enemies! The last set we use is Spinner's Garments to amp up our damage further. All together we are getting around 5600 Spell Damage along with over 46k Magicka and the Spinner’s Garments extra Spell Penetration as you will see in the character sheet picture below. We use Dual Wield because it results in more overall Spell Damage for the build.

• Bomber Build
• Insane AoE Burst Combo
• Light Armor
• Dual Wield/Resto Staves
• Optimized for Cyrodiil
• Strong vs stacked enemies
• 5’662 Spell Damage and 46’260 Magicka

Changes from the previous version

This is a new build added with the Wolfhunter DLC, Summerset Chapter.

Resource Management

Resource management can be tough, but with the Maelstrom Restoration Staff and Siphoning Attacks you can deal with it. I usually run normal Max Health Max Magicka food. However, you can aso go with Clockwork Citrus Filet (or Witchmother’s Potent Brew) of you struggle with sustain. Other than that, you can also use potions to fill up your magicka.

• Maelstrom Restoration Staff
• Siphoning Attacks
• Clockwork Citrus Filet (or Witchmother’s Potent Brew)
• Magicka Potions
