![ESO - vAS+2 Tips and Tricks - Magicka Nightblade POV [Flames of Ambition]
There were a couple things I really wanted to cover that didnt happen to me during this run, Ill list them here:
1.) When Olms is jumping at 75%, 50% and 25% and theres a Sphere on the opposite side, try standing in the middle of the arena and move back and forth out of Olms jumps while hitting the Sphere. Its actually easier than it looks. You can check out some vAS World Records from DPS perspective and see. The main thing is to know how big the Jump AoE is and when he is landing back.
2.) IF you get the Llothis Cone and youre near the end of the cone AoE, you can out-range it by stepping farther out and away from the AoE. Only do this AFTER you let at least one of the Cones pulses hit you. If you out-range too early (before any pulses hit you) the cone will redirect to someone else.
3.) Try not to get hit by the red wave things (usually called bacon) that come out of Felms Bomb AoEs as they will Maim you (reduce your damage output).
4.) Olms Storm/Kite Mechanic happens about every 30 seconds. Luckily our Main Tank had a timer and called it out for us. But usually youd have to have a mental timer for when it happens. How I think of it is If it hasnt happened in a while, itll probably happen very soon. Not very helpful, I know. But If its been a while AND Olms does a Breath attack on the main tank, then hell very likely do a Storm afterwards.
These tips alone wont make you super good in vAS all of a sudden, but I hope they at least help a little!
Gear:
2 Slimecraw*, 5 False God, 5 Medusa (Front bar Medusa Inferno)
Food: Max Health/Max Magicka**
Mundus: Shadow
Blue CP Slottables: Fighting Finesse, Backstabber, Biting Aura, Deadly Aim
*I used 2 Slimecraw here as I wanted to use Inner Light over Camo Hunter (which gives the same buff as Slimecraw). Using Camo Hunter instead, and putting on 2 Crit Monster set pieces is probably better if you plan on only killing Olms and leaving the 2 mini bosses alive. Otherwise, the difference is pretty small.
**Max HP/Max Mag food will probably be best for most people since the trial has more damage output now with the CP changes. If youre going for a 4 or 5 minute score run, then the Eye Bowl parse food is probably the better option.

Flawless weaves and a bit of luck is key for 130+ cro. A good indicator of very clean weaves is when youre on your front bar, the Kinras buff timer should look like its stuck at 4 seconds. If it drops to 3s for even 1/4 of a second, thats a bit too slow.
I actually think it might be worth having a ton of stamcros/magcros in Rele/Tzog. They should outperform other classes in half or most situations, *especially* in long fights where DoT roto excels. Skull roto would be better for short bursty fights.
Alkosh needed too, obviously... maybe drop EC for it. 2 Alkosh ppl might be best. Thats just a theory tho, I could just be retarded, but the numbers are pretty convincing.
Also did a few parses with Venom Skull (dropped Caltrops). They were all 123-124k so it can prob spike up to 127-128k.
