I'm using focused aim here over lethal arrow to provide a consistent source of minor breach on Olms, as well as protectors when my brain functions well enough to hit them with it. Poison enchant over poisons is used to have reliable dps from poisoned status effect since the other morph of snipe does not provide it. I'm usually on stamblade in this group but roster was moved around a bit for fills tonight
Used my Xalvakka setup for this.

Big thanks to Vortex and Classified for filling for us this week!
Big congrats to everyone for the persistence with our many wipes every raid and willingness to swap classes, sets, and strategies around to suit what works best for us.
My roles here included dropping colossus for vuln when my time came, and applying Z'en to the priority target (Counter can be seen above health bar to the right). As ridiculous as this sounds, stamina dps end up having a plethora of applicable z'en dots including relequen, poisoned and burning status effects, both effects from front bar poisons, rending slashes, hemorrhaging, and consuming trap (which I chose not to use here).
My setup included Z'en Maul (for pen), blackrose dual wield (bonus damage and mitigation), relequen (counts as a z'en dot), kilt, and slimecraw 1 piece for crit. I used the thief mundus for added crit. I also prebuffed with sul'xan on the trash before the pull.
I have a pretty good feeling we'll be back over the next couple weeks to figure out trash and clean everything up for a decent score. We'll be moving on to Sunspire next patch, which will be an absolute fucking blast with sul'xan fixed where all DPS can use it efficiently.

Not too much has changed on this patch vs the previous, as well are still running MA instead of the typical RO setup in sunspire. We now have a zen Magden instead of a zenDK in group, as max benefit from engulfing can be obtained from the OT.
As for my personal setup, I'd still like to test a few things. Once I get more CP, a poison enchant backbar should be more damage vs a spell damage enchant. I'd also like to get more experience with BFB as a spammable instead of a full dot rotation given how fast the phases are. Finally, I'm interested in seeing what a MS/Medusa setup with shadow is capable of pulling in this scenario.
There's still a whole patch ahead of us with time to test and optimize, so expect more videos soon!
BIG THANK YOU TO CLIVE FOR FILLING :)

Group: MoIST (Members of Intense Strategical Tactics)
This group is actually nuts. We've had an insane amount of progress in the little time we've played together, and have a few days left of progression in this trial before the next patch with damage nerfs drops.
We run a pretty unconventional setup for Sunspire boss fights, using MA over RO. This is our best vampire/toggle fight to date, also turning out to be a deathless pull.
For this fight, my responsibilities are applying catalyst to the boss, going into cage 1B, and running colossus once Cricket's vuln expires.

Lots of plunder and gold jewels during the event, and I got lucky with a poly as well.
I really believe the ceiling for full dps magcro in vAS is 70k or higher, it's just extremely clunky to play. Skull is frustrating as hell to use as a spammable once your dots are down, and siphon feels like more of a use for sustain than damage (outside of the passive).
The three most important things in optimizing damage here are efficient ulti gen, blastbones as often as possible, and avoiding bacon. I did two of these terribly, but managed to avoid the felms bombs this run. I've had 6-8k higher dps going into execute in prior runs, but this is my highest single target parse to date with this setup. I'm really looking forward to next patch where the gap between full damage magcro and other classes will be even closer in this trial.
Gear used here was medusa (body), mother's sorrow (front bar precise flame enchant), and 2 piece crit with a vMA inferno backbar (shock enchant). Swapping out false god's for mother's sorrow should net similar results, as the minor slayer will pretty much balance out the crit loss between the two sets. Crushing shock is also a reasonable replacement for flame skull in terms of lower mag per cast and consistency with casting it (at the cost of a damage loss compared to skull). Crit chance with minor prophecy is ~88%, so bar loadout is mostly irrelevant in terms of gravelord passives for execute crit.

With the nerfs to crit, it seems that you can get by with a number of combinations and still hit around the same mark. Light armor now gives crit per piece, but raw stats from the undaunted passive are valuable. Melee weapons now scale off your max offensive stat, and daggers are a good source for crit on magicka toons now as well. Axes are a good source of crit damage, and maces are irrelevant. Racial passives are pretty close now between Khajiit, High Elf, and Dark Elf.
For this particular setup, I went with double precise axes on a Khajit with the thief mundus. I'm wearing 6 light and 1 heavy. This puts me at an even 70% crit chance with 3 grave lord abilities front bar for 100% execute crit.
The slight difference in bars between PTS and recent patches is changing out shocking siphon for detonating siphon, which is a higher net dps at the cost of sustain. It also acts as a pseudo-spammable, similar to unstable wall, due to the explosion component.
For cp actives, I took fighting finesse, biting aura, thaumaturge, and backstabber. Few scenarios will not allow you to take advantage of backstabber, but the vast majority of trial fights will.

CMX Info: https://i.imgur.com/QQrxU7Q.jpgMagicka Necromancer PVE Build (104k+) - Markarth - Elder Scrolls Online ESOBread And Milk2020-11-04 | Magcros are finally on top :)
Tips for parsing: - Always 2 abilities into blastbones when possible - Stand at max trap range to maximize orb damage - Try to treat orb as an 8 second dot instead of 10, as it detaches from the dummy with 2 seconds remaining - Cast degen and meteor into a barswap to avoid spaghetti until it's fixed - If it's not time to cast a new dot, throw an unstable wall down - Hope that siphon, rune, and boneyard don't fail to cast for a full parse
I definitely think 105k+ is possible once the bugs are fixed and/or a little crit rng is in your favor.
Alternative Setups: Medusa can be used as an alternative to MS, but I think its benefit is situational. For example, not having to cast channeled during Olms' immunity phase in vAS allows you to contribute more damage to protectors at the cost of crit and max mag. As far as personal DPS goes, I don't see any reason why medusa would be worn over sorrow.
Skull/force pulse can be used in place of degeneration in any mobile fights, encounters with multiple targets, or ones that require high burst damage (ie Asylum, Cloudrest, Lokke). Rune would also be replaced with inner light in these situations. For stand-still parse fights (ie Yolna, Zhaj'hassa, The Mage) loading your bar with dots will come out on top, especially if you take advantage of high points into thaum for the exploiter perk.

Edit: Medusa appears to be a lot more beneficial than I thought. Even with the loss of crit and max mag, having the extra backbar slot for a damage skill and not having to cast channeled or trap works out to be as good or better than an MS setup in a lot of situations.
