ESO - 113.8K DPS Magicka Warden - Deadlands [Xbox NA] @Fraktahl

Fraktahl This is really the same as last patch except using Kinras (or AY)

Average: 110-111K
115K+ is def possible with a slightly better weave.

When front-barring Kinras with a staff on backbar (in this case VMA Inferno), if your weave is pretty fast you can do 4 skills on backbar before the buff falls off. In raid tho, I would probably stick with 3 skills to account for frame drops or when you're ranged.

As always if you have any questions, leave a comment. And yes this is dynamic roto.

ESO - vDSR Reef Guardian Hard Mode Guide

Fraktahl 2023-03-28 | This is meant to be a general guide with more focus on DPS perspective than before. I'm not savvy with the support POV but I'll try to leave a few details below. Unfortunately don't have footage of doing Reef Hearts but will also leave details about that below. If you guys have any questions, y'all can leave comments!

Nilandia's ESOU vDSR Guide: eso-u.com/articles/nilandias_guide_to_dreadsail_reef__all_mechanics_bosses_and_strategies
Tank Club's vDSR Guide: thetankclub.com/eso-trial-guides/eso-dreadsail-reef-trial

These clips were taken a few months ago in the High Isle patch, but the tips and strats still apply.

- - - Extra Info - - -

1.) In total, there are 5 Guardians (1 Big, 2 Medium, 2 Small).

2.) For Reef Hearts, usually 1 of the 2 DPS will have Echoing Vigor. Hearts are pretty easy; just stay between the poison cones and watch out for any Heavy Attacks from the crab. Be extra careful for the synergy when you kill a Heart. Don't take it if you need to kill a second Heart. If you accidentally take it when not supposed to, a sub DPS will need to be sent down in your place, but it might be a wipe.

3.) The DK Tank has a tough job in this fight. Basically they have to hold all the Guardians and try not to move them too much. The DK tank can pop Magma Shells during multiple poison cones. This way, the DK tank can stay still, take almost no damage, and not place Poison AoEs everywhere. They will need to place Poison AoEs sooner or later though; ideally place them in a rainbow to keep the bosses from moving, but they might run out of space eventually and need to pull the bosses backwards.

4.) We had one of the healers taunt Incendiaries and drag them onto the Guardians. Other than that, I believe healers mostly just stay in group and heal.

5.) Off-tank grabs extra adds (Bears, Senches, Incendiaries in group, etc) and holds them in the stack.

6a.) It can be hard to tell which Guardian to prioritize. Generally, you want to focus the one that is going to channel a Heart next, but has enough time left for you to kill it.

6b.) For example, we focus the Big guy first because he channeled at the start, and there's no way we would be able to kill the others before they get to channel. So we have maybe 2 minutes until Big guy channels again (just a guess from what I've observed). After Big guy, for us it was a toss-up between the 1st Medium or 1st Small because sometimes the Medium left first, and other times the Small left first.

6c.) At 3rd circle, usually we focus the 2nd Medium guy (the one that channeled at Anchor) because of the same logic for Big guy, but also because we knew we'd be able to kill the other Guardians in cleave before they got to channel again. Sometimes however, the bosses will just do something so random like immediately channeling a Heart again even though it channeled 10 seconds ago.

- - - - - - - - - - -

Sorry for the essays. There's so many little details it's hard to say things concisely, which is one of the reasons I didn't do a voiceover this time. This fight is more weird than complicated. Hope you found this helpful!

ESO - 121K DPS Stamina Necromancer (Spam) | Scribes of Fate

Fraktahl 2023-03-15 | Reverse Slice kek

Skip to 3:08 for 120.8K (Traditional) Silver Shards CMX, Skip to 6:52 for 121.0K Reverse Slice CMX, Skip to 7:28 for 120.2K Executioner CMX

Didn't include the Executioner parse as it's basically the same thing as Reverse. It'd be funny to see if Reverse makes it into meta strats. I can see it being good on Reef Guardian and maybe vHoF Triplets (stacked). It's hard to give up the Maelstrom Inferno in trials tho, especially on console where we have to choose one or the other.

For Reverse Slice/Executioner, start using it at ~30% HP as that's when it starts outperforming Silver Shards. I also moved Boneyard to backbar so I get higher crit chance in exe (Death Knell passive). Slotting Colossus backbar and moving Meteor to front gives even more crit for exe but Im not sure if its worth it on a dummy parse as you can't drop a Dawnbreaker at the end.

DoT Cro should still be able to get at least 125K. I kinda suck at it tho so I didn't try :)

- - - ❓️What options do I have for raid setups? ❓️ - - -

For "full damage" StamCros in raids, you have the option to use Coral Riptide, Whorl, Siroria, Sul-Xan or Relequen and pair it with Pillar, Kinras, Azureblight, Tzogvin, or Runecarver depending on the trial/fight.

Pillar is the most popular non-Trial set option thanks to it being a "low maintenance" but high damage set. Each set has its own pros and cons so plan accordingly.

Generally I'd recommend either:

1. Coral body + Pillar frontbar with Kilt mythic and Maelstrom Inferno. If Coral is too tough for you to manage, swap it for Relequen.
2. Relequen frontbar + Pillar backbar (2H) with Kilt and 2 Zaan or Stormfist

Went back to test the DW/2H static roto and it's still good! I think I was a little lucky in this parse, but still got 118-119 consistently. DW/Staff Static should top out at ~118.

If you don't want to use Ult Pots, use tri-pots.

Pillar is the most popular non-Trial set option thanks to it being a "low maintenance" but high damage set. The new Runecarver set might give Pillar a run for its money, though. Each set has its own pros and cons so plan accordingly.

Nothing really changed for the DK again, other than not being able to spam Eruption for infinite Stam.

I think 125K should be doable with Talons. I know Luca Cash got 126K with Deep Breath but I personally got worse results with it lol. Deep Breath semi-spam also isn't sustainable with Single/Bi-stat food.

DW/2H static roto on average is 1-2K higher than DW/Staff, but I enjoy the Staff roto more :)

You can get away with Ghastly too but watch out for stacked poison ticks, especially poison + lightning.

These clips were taken a few months ago in the High Isle patch, but the tips and strats still apply.

I forgot to mention that in Double Boss phase, when they do the Fire/Ice Rune mech, you have a few seconds to swap the bubble if needed while they're channeling. Don't grab bubble the second the Runes go out as they've already picked their targets. If you have Rune + Bubble, it's almost certain death. If you have bubble BEFORE Runes go out, you won't be picked.

A common question I see is how to get the debuff tracker for the Ice/Fire Bubble stacks. In the settings, turn on Self Debuffs and Permanent Effects. Alternatively, if you're on PC, you can get Qcell's Dreadsail Reef Helper add-on.

Fraktahl 2023-02-05 | Edit (March 9, 2023): We got a new high score of 251,015!

Played pretty bad during first floor of Falgravn but everything else was decent :). I was pretty laggy so you might notice some lag spikes.

I personally wanted to use as Inferno here for the bigger cleave and destro ult. Sustain can get rough on DK with it tho so I used Blockade morph (2 casts every 30s compared to 3 casts with Unstable) and I tried to not cast Talons under 25% mag. Otherwise if I was Cro or Sorc I would've went with Unstable, personally.

ESO - 120K+ DPS Static Rotation Magicka Dragonknight - Full Guide | Firesong

Fraktahl 2023-01-19 | *This guide was made during Firesong but is still applicable for Scribes of Fate patch!*

Edit (Feb. 13, 2023): I just learned DKs were bugged in Firesong PTS and probably early Firesong too (separate from the Standard bug), so their damage was ~4-5K higher than normal. Basically, for some reason everything hit slightly harder. The parses in this video were done on Firesong PTS. On Live, if you follow these static rotos exactly, you'll probably see a max of ~120K-122K. Sorry for misleading.

- - - - - - - - - -

Edit 1: At 7:31 my voice cut out. I was saying, "If you need a bit of explanation for how the static rotation diagram is read, you can rewind to me explaining the DW/2H version."

Edit 2: Forgot to mention that Medium armor is great as it gives Crit Damage, but you don't get any Armor Penetration (which Light Armor gives). So optimized groups in Trials will usually either have an Alkosh DPS or a Tank in Crimson Oath and Tremorscale to make up for the loss in Penetration. The Trial Dummy has Alkosh applied by default. Light Armor is fine in Trials too, but you'll typically need to slot Fighting Finesse or Backstabber Blue CP to make up for the Crit Damage loss.

Thanks for watching my guide! I don't get why my headset mic muffles my voice sometimes, but the diagrams should be detailed enough that you don't really need my voiceover lol.

ESO - 97K+ DPS Oakensoul 1-Bar Magicka Dragonknight (Beginner-Friendly) | Firesong

Fraktahl 2023-01-12 | Skip to 2:11 for CMX.

This setup is very similar to Inquisitor Mordrak's, but with a second armor set (Kinras) instead of 2 Zaan. This gave me the same Single Target (ST) damage but with more Area of Effect (AoE) potential.

Pros & Cons of Oakensoul DK...
Pros: Infinite sustain, Very easy to play, Pretty Good ST, Built-in Major Breach
Cons: Can get boring, Pretty Bad Self-Heals, Bad AoE

Since 1-Bar is so simple, it's not worth coming up with a Static Rotation. Just spam Whip and recast DoTs when you see they ran out. To beginners: don't get too comfortable with Oakensoul, eventually you will have to get good at 2-bar :)

If you want more AoE damage at the cost of Magicka sustain, replace Venomous Claw with Burning Talons. If you need self-heals, change Venomous Claw to Burning Embers morph. If you need a more burst-y heal, slot Coagulating Blood.

I also got 96-97K in a few other setups but Kinras/Pillar is both the most accessible and most AoE potential.

[FIXED] - ESO - 150K+ DPS Magicka Dragonknight - Insane Bug! | Firesong

Fraktahl 2022-11-01 | EDIT: Bug fixed as of November 2, 2022

Skip to 2:33 for CMX

A lot of you may know by now that there's a bug with DKs. What's happening is Standard is stacking and perma-buffing you even when you are outside of it, and even when Standard disappears.

This bug also works outside of houses. I accidentally came across this bug so I can't say how I did it :(. A few others found this bug as well. GoAvs was able to get up to 460K DPS.

I think it's safe to say any DK dummy parse above 135K should be considered bugged. 130K-135K may or may not be bugged as well. Will need to check the CMX for any irregularities (e.g. slow weaves, lots of missed LAs, low crit yet high dps, etc).

Here's Skinny Cheeks video talking about this DK bug among other things. I included the timestamp in the link: youtu.be/uudvf-KgnWQ?t=335

P.S. Rele/Pillar is a good parsing (and trials) setup as well. I easily got 125K+ each time even with a 0.100 Weaving Average. I think what's happening is the Rele double ticks are counteracting the DPS loss of weaving slow.

ESO - (Bugged) 131K DPS Magicka Dragonknight | Firesong

Fraktahl 2022-10-18 | This parse is actually a 129.8K b/c I didn't record my 131K :'), but I'll show both CMXs at the end.

Skip to 3:02 for 129.8K CMX. Skip to 3:35 for 131.2K CMX.

Nothing changed for the DK this patch (Update 36), other than an overall combat fix for AoE skills (v8.2.0 PTS Notes) but some people are suspecting a stealth buff or bug for DKs.

This kind of setup is great for single target fights or tightly-stacked fights that aren't too mobile. Whorl can be replaced with Relequen or Siroria for very similar results.

If you don't want to use Ult Pots, use tri-pots.

- - - - 🌊 Why Whorl/Kinras? 🌊 - - - -

I chose to try Whorl backbar/Kinras frontbar this time since I prefer Whorl for parsing and Kinras should be better than Pillar if the fight allows for you to get very high uptime (e.g. Taleria). Although, Kinras can be redundant in a group with a Sorc dropping Atros or when using Serpent Coil.

Whorl occurs once every 18 secs, which is exactly how long Eruption lasts. So I reapply Eruption right when it runs out and that will also apply Whorl.

I didn't test any other setups though. I'm assuming this and Kinras/Siroria would be the 2 best parsing setups, since you can't do Rele/Kinras with Monster + Kilt reliably and Bahsei front or backbar would be kinda whack.

Edit: OK I caved. Was curious about Kinras/Siroria so I gave it a few tries. Super similar results but on average got 500-1K less. Just my results tho, yours may be different.

- - - ❓️What options do I have for raid setups? ❓️ - - -

For MagDKs in raids, you have the option to use Bahsei, Whorl, Siroria, Sul-Xan or Relequen and pair it with Pillar, Kinras, Azureblight or Tzogvin depending on the trial/fight. Pillar might be the most popular non-Trial set option thanks to it being a "low maintenance" but high damage set. Each set has its own pros and cons so plan accordingly.

Overall the run was good but wasn't near perfect. Tab targeting in vAS is ass. It was a 3 day prog for 117K score but sadly ran out of time since Lost Depths update drops tomorrow for console (Stamsorc nerfs). Thanks to Ambition for setting up the runs and raid leading.

ESO - 125K DPS Magicka Dragonknight | Lost Depths

Fraktahl 2022-08-14 | Skip to 3:03 for CMX.

Pretty much the same thing as every other patch except for the gear. This kind of setup is mostly just for single target fights or fights with tightly packed mobs. Whorl can be replaced with Relequen for very similar results.

In raids or dungeons (assuming you have a different source of Major Brutality/Sorcery), replace Degen with Trap and put Talons front bar.

New changes related to the DK and Raid Dummy:
1.) Molten Whip now has a split cost to cast (half stam/half mag). This gives DKs really good sustain but you can run out of the opposite resource if you're not careful.
2.) Raid Dummy received new and updated buffs/debuffs (i.e. Major Slayer, Minor Courage, 6000 pen from Alkosh, Elemental Catalyst and a couple other small changes)

With the new Raid Dummy changes, most parses will be inflated compared to High Isle parses. This 125k parse is more like 110k or so in High Isle patch.

For MagDKs in raids, you have the option to use Bahsei, Whorl, Siroria, Sul-Xan or Relequen and pair it with Pillar, Kinras or Tzogvin depending on the trial/fight. Pillar might be the most popular non-Trial set option. Each set has its own pros and cons so plan accordingly.

Coral Riptide isn't really an option for MagDKs anymore since Whip will eat all your stamina when you're trying to keep it low. Siroria (which got buffed) would be the better option.

ESO - vDSR Reef Guardian HM in 4:20 by Eternal | High Isle [Xbox NA]

Fraktahl 2022-07-21 | The way most people are doing it right now is to basically focus the Big guy (the original one) and kill him at the 2nd spot before he runs away. This should be doable every time, but all other aspects of the fight is essentially RNG (with this strat, at least).

Ideally, you should also kill 1 more Guardian at the 2nd spot or shortly after getting to 3rd spot but this may not be possible every time. I'm not sure if damage just needs to be really high, or if it's just dependent on if a Guardian stays longer than usual (RNG).

Newly spawned Guardians seem to run away once they hit 80%, but sometimes you can get lucky and they'll do a poison channel before running off.

I believe there are also timers for when a Reef Guardian does another Reef Heart channel. I'm fairly certain the Big guy won't do another channel for exactly 2 minutes, but the Medium and Small ones feel more random.

I could be wrong about some things though, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Pretty fast and should be quick enough for SS, but 4:30-4:40 should be doable on console.

If your team wants to ignore the Fire/Ice Weapons, you need to kill the twins in less than ~3 minutes once both of them are on the field. Otherwise a 3rd Ice or 3rd Fire Weapon will spawn inside the opposite bubble (making it explode). If this happens, either move the bubble or drop it quickly.

ESO - 119K+ DPS Magicka Templar | High Isle

Fraktahl 2022-06-17 | Can prob be ~2K higher with faster weave. The increased cost to Purifying Light is very noticeable in medium armor. I'm also doing a true dynamic rotation here, instead of the semi-dynamic I did in past templar videos.

In my opinion, for a Mag dps full damage setup in medium armor you might as well play stam for better sustain and slightly more dps.

I did give Bahsei/Kinras a couple tries and it's still decent. It's the same as last patch but probably caps out around 117K. Blue CP for Bahsei setup should be Backstabber, Deadly Aim, Master at Arms, and Wrathful Strikes. Might be worth replacing Wrathful for Exploiter in raids. Adjust as necessary.

ESO - 125K+ DPS Stamina Necromancer (Relequen) | High Isle

Fraktahl 2022-06-08 | DoT roto setup is basically the same as last patch. In raids I would definitely use Coral over Rele for most situations, especially on console.

If DoT roto is too hard to do, or isn't a good idea for a certain trial/fight, then you can put on Silver Shards as a spammable. As always, I am using dynamic rotation here.

Edit (June 11): I did some parses in Coral/Kinras and got up to 127k (imgur.com/a/4mL9wGm). Charles got 131k with it. Swapping Rune for Orb is def better.

- - - ⚠️ Important for higher cro parses ⚠️ - - -

When using Orb in a parse, to get the most amount of ticks you need to stand back when casting it. Usually ppl will find the right spot to set furniture/barrier for their toon to auto-walk into (like in Charles' vid). Have it far back, but not too far.

If you don't do this and parse up close in the open, you will miss 20-30 ticks of Orb since Orb will float way past the dummy for a few secs each cast. In my Coral/Kinras CMX, you'll see I have ~120 ticks of Orb while Charles has ~150 in his video. 30 ticks of Orb is roughly 250k damage when using Coral.

Potentially you may be able to place some furnishings not as barriers, but as indicators to how far back you should stand. I'll try this once patch drops on console and will put out another cro vid if I hit 130+.

Fraktahl 2022-05-30 | Build (4 Med, 3 Light):
1 Slimecraw / 1 Kilt / 5 Whorl of the Depths / 5 Kinras

I only tested Whorl and Rele. For my tests, Whorl beat Rele by 1-2K. YMMV. Mag sustain in Rele/Kinras is really bad too.

Quick shoutout to Alduin for his 117K MagDK in Bahsei/Kinras: youtu.be/bVH7xNdSeIk

Edit (May 31): I went and tested another CP combo: Fighting Finesse, Backstabber, Deadly Aim and Wrathful Strikes. It gave me about the same results. I recommend messing around with it tho, in case you get better numbers.

My thoughts:
MagDK is not bad but not great either, I guess its pretty balanced. It lost a lot of damage and sustain. Bahsei isn't really an option, *unless* you drop Engulfing for Cloak or change morph to Noxious. Mag sustain becomes really good then. But that's assuming you're using 2H, parse food AND ult pots. In raid, changing one of those should be ok (e.g. bistat food instead), but changing 2 or more will be big oof for sustain.

ESO - 120K+ DPS Stamina Templar | High Isle

Fraktahl 2022-05-29 | Also got an average of about 117K in Coral. Average for Rele setup was around 118K. Coral would be better for most raid scenarios for more AoE.

My thoughts:
Stamplar looks to be quite strong, but for harder trifectas (GS, PB, SS) or score pushing I think they can only compete against stamcro when using ult pots. Otherwise they cap out at around 115K in normal pots, which stamcro can easily beat. Cros also have a bit more AoE. For casual raids, of course, feel free to play whatever.

I don't think it's possible to sustain all the mag skills without ult pots or tri-pots. Because ult pots are expensive, I suggest just running tri-pots unless you are score pushing or in the late stage of a trifecta prog.

Execute:
1.) Stop using carve after 15% HP
2.) Stop using Shard and Solar Barrage after 10% HP

I'll try to leave a detailed explanation for dynamic rotation below.

------- Dynamic Roto (more like semi-dynamic) -------

In my opinion, the semi-dynamic roto for templar is one of the most simple of all the classes but also the hardest to explain. I'm going to assume you know how to jabs weave correctly.

Anyways, usually your frontbar roto will look like: 1x Solar barrage, 1x Jabs, Power of the Light (PotL), 5x Jabs, PotL.

Backbar is basically always: Stampede, Ritual, Shard

Replace 1x Jab for when you need to cast Carve, Trap or Shooting Star but try to do it only for the 1x Jab after Solar Barrage OR the 1x Jab immediately after the first PotL. That way you don't interrupt the 4-5 Jabs casts which is the most bursty part of the roto.

Sometimes all 3 skills (Carve, Trap AND Shooting Star) will need to be reapplied at roughly the same time (like what happened at 53%). You can cast them all after the 1st PotL and then you'll have room for 2x Jabs, since we replaced 3x Jabs in that scenario.

If you do it right, halfway into the parse you should notice that the 30s of Carve runs out a few seconds after the 1st PotL, which is perfect. Use that PotL to barswap for Carve and then resume frontbar roto.

Hopefully that's helpful!

----‐---------------

You can actually do a true dynamic rotation but it of course is harder. Like dynamic rotos for other classes, you just want to refresh a DoT right when it runs out. This can sometimes lead to you having to barswap right after a Jab.

ESO - 129K / 127K DPS Stamina Warden | Ascending Tide [Xbox]

Fraktahl 2022-04-08 | First parse (129K) is in Rele/Kinras
Second parse (127K) is in Bahsei/Kinras

The Bahsei/Kinras stamden especially is very hard to play. Not only do you have to pay attention to Off-Balance (OB), but you have to manage low mag too. Ugh.

For me, it rly helped having Target Debuffs on (From Others has to be on too) so I can see when OB procced. The icon is purple with a dizzy head. Once it procs (lasts 7 secs) my mind immediately focuses on just 4 skills: Carve, Shalks, Stampede and Birds, in that priority order. OB Immunity is 22 secs, so once OB proc is over it won't proc again for 15s.

P.S. This will be my last video until June when the new Trial/Chapter comes out. See yall then. GLHF.

ESO - 130K+ DPS Stamina Necromancer (DoT Roto) | Ascending Tide [Xbox]

Fraktahl 2022-04-05 | Flawless weaves and a bit of luck is key for 130+ cro. A good indicator of very clean weaves is when you're on your front bar, the Kinras buff timer should look like it's stuck at 4 seconds. If it drops to 3s for even 1/4 of a second, that's 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. That's 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.

I set this up just like my other parses, so 3 Medium/4 Light with the same Blue CP in this video except I replaced Biting Aura for Backstabber. Feel free to also just run all light armor, except for the Kilt obviously.

Front bar: Impale, Debilitate, Ele Weapon, Merciless Resolve, Trap, Incap (Ult)
Back bar: Twisting path, Carve, Dark Shade, Stampede, Siphoning Atks, Incap (Ult)

Same food (ghastly), same mundus (thief)

Playing with this build is just like last patch except it's a bit easier to stay low mag. The only hard part (in raids) is to get to low mag in the first place. Only pop Siphoning when your mag is around 15-20% if you know your potion or synergy won't be ready soon. GLHF.

ESO - 119K+ DPS Magicka Templar (Bahsei) | Ascending Tide [Xbox NA]

Fraktahl 2022-03-30 | Edit: Apparently Deadly performs better than Kinras, at least when pairing with Relequen. Maybe Rele counts as a DoT and Deadly buffs it? If true then ~121K should be doable on console.

Edit 2: Went back and did a couple tests in Bahsei/Deadly. Can confirm that Kinras is still better with Bahsei by 2-3K for sustained fights. Probably won't test Rele/Deadly.

Average in Bahsei/Kinras: 116-117K

Also got a 119 in Relequen/Kinras.

In raids, the 2 best setups will be:
1.) Rele/Deadly
2.) Bahsei/Deadly*
Each have their own pros and cons.

*Kinras can replace Deadly in the Bahsei/Deadly setup for sustained fights if kinras doesn't fall off often.

For this parse I'm running 3 medium (i can't run 4 rn). I had better results with Backstabber back on instead of Thaum since I was sitting at 116% Critical Damage. Maybe the same would apply with 4 Medium?

I'm in Bahsei/Kinras here except I'm running 3 Medium. I would run 4 but I don't have Bahsei Rings :/

Fraktahl 2021-12-13 | Went back and improved my sweeps weaving to be able to do 5 Sweeps (technically 4.5) in 1 Purifying Light. I'll leave some quick info below on how I practiced sweeps weaving.

High: 115K
Average: 113K
Low: 110K

I also did a few parses in Pillar Of Nirn (with Bahsei). My highest out of 5 parses was 111K, though 112 should be possible with more luck.

EDIT Jan. 22: I just got Deadly and tried 5 parses which were all ~109K so I'm assuming on console the ceiling is 111K-112K (same as Pillar).

^It seems the consensus is to run Deadly in trials unless a boss fight is long enough for Kinras to outperform. Pillar might be a good substitute if you don't have Deadly. Kinras should perform higher if a fight takes longer than ~35 secs AND you never drop Kinras buff. In casual runs however, feel free to run what you want.

----- Sweeps Practice -----

First off, if you're on PC I highly recommend getting a weaving metronome (is that what theyre called?) add-on. It'll let you know exactly when to Light Attack (LA).

On console it's a bit more difficult but not too bad once you get used to the rhythm. I recommend just spamming sweeps on a dummy over and over and finding that exact timing where you can LA. The exact timing is somewhere around the third strike of sweeps, right before your character lunges for the 4th strike.

I tend to watch my Kinras buff timer; whenever I see it refresh, I know my LA went off. Try to play with the timing and do faster and faster weaving. If your LA didn't go off, then you probably went too fast. Slow it down a little. Once you find that sweet spot, try to make it consistent. Eventually you'll be able to do it based off of feel.

Try to add in a few skills into your sweeps practice too. Casting Purifying Light or Trap mid-sweeps is a bit weird at first. After that, parsing is mostly just a rhythm game and praying for beam crits.

Fraktahl 2021-11-20 | "Once you were my friend, now you turned into my enemy."

Decided to use Concealed Weapon here as my spammable. Supposedly Ele Weapon is slightly better damage b/c of the status effects. Both should give very similar results still.

If you're doing dynamic and you know you're reapplying dots at the right times, but you're 5K+ dps lower, then it's probably your weaving is a tad bit slower.

Fraktahl 2021-11-19 | Dynamic rotation as usual. With Spell Pots and no sustain passives as a Dark Elf you're forced to use potion and synergize almost on cooldown or you risk heavy attacking too many times. Even then I have to heavy attack at least once per parse... but this shouldn't be an issue in trials!

I also tried a few parses with Equilibrium but it was like 2-3K DPS lower this time.

Fraktahl 2021-10-16 | Haven't played the MagDK since vMoL HM was the biggest flex (damn that was 5 years ago). Sustain is horrible, but it's really fun to play.

I'm not sure if this parse is considered cheese, cuz I am using Equilibrium lol.

Here, I am a Dark Elf using Spell pots, so this could be higher as a Khajiit using Ult pots (108K+ definitely possible on console). Sustain is a bit better on a DK with Ult pots too, just make sure the Ult pots also restore Magic.

I would say if you're practicing the MagDK, just use spell pots for now and when you're doing 100K+, switch to ult pots if you want to.

MagDK's using Zen's will be about 5K-6K DPS lower.

The Godslayer Prog Experience | Mini-Episode #1

Fraktahl 2021-10-11 | So I found a solution to the glitchy clips and was able to fix the video. Here's the re-upload as promised. Hope ye enjoy!

Just some shenanigans with the crew while we were in our early phase in the GS prog that I wanted to share.

Fraktahl 2021-10-02 | The clip for some reason got a little bit glitchy when I imported into After Effects, sorry about that.

I lowkey choked the ending haha. I improved my weave a bit the next day (screenshot at the end) but can't seem to get a lucky parse so I gave up lol. On average I tend to get 109 or 110K. Anyways, hope ye enjoy.

Build (2 Medium, 5 Light):
1 Kilt
1 Slimecraw
5 Perf. Bahsei
5 Diamond's Victory

This build I got from Jaise's 117K magden video. Smex also has a 117K I'm pretty sure. I think on console/controller tho, the max is prob 114K or 115K (with more luck and better low mag management).

Of course, if you have any questions leave a comment.

Think I missed a couple LA's, but overall pretty good parse. I'm not sure if 110K is possible on console/controller (esp since we can't do the destro ult trick), but personally I don't think I can go much higher than this. Hope ye enjoy.

Having Trap instead of Degen on front bar is actually a better option (more damage), so I'd recommend trying that instead if you're not using Medusa.

5 Perfected Siroria

Edit: With this setup, there's a fair amount of RNG, so expect a few outlier parses - especially if you crit (or don't crit) most of your impales.

If you have any questions, feel free to comment. If you're on PC, I think Smex's or Saligia's 110K+ parses will be more helpful than mine.

The IR Prog Experience

Fraktahl 2021-06-08 | We did get IR a few days later :). This trial loves killing peeps at 0.1% tho

ESO - vAS+2 Tips and Tricks - Magicka Nightblade POV [Flames of Ambition]

Fraktahl 2021-06-06 | There were a couple things I really wanted to cover that didn't happen to me during this run, I'll list them here:
1.) When Olms is jumping at 75%, 50% and 25% and there's a Sphere on the opposite side, try standing in the middle of the arena and move back and forth out of Olm's jumps while hitting the Sphere. It's 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 you're 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 Cone's 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 Felm's Bomb AoE's as they will Maim you (reduce your damage output).

4.) Olm's Storm/Kite Mechanic happens about every 30 seconds. Luckily our Main Tank had a timer and called it out for us. But usually you'd have to have a mental timer for when it happens. How I think of it is "If it hasn't happened in a while, itll probably happen very soon". Not very helpful, I know. But If it's been a while AND Olm's does a Breath attack on the main tank, then he'll very likely do a Storm afterwards.

These tips alone won't 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 you're going for a 4 or 5 minute score run, then the Eye Bowl parse food is probably the better option.
