Uploaded March 2021 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago
EDIT - Blackwood Chapter Update:
Race, Mundus Stone, Food:
- still more or less the same. Preference of Mundus Stone shifts slightly towards the Thief.
Gear:
- 5x Sorrow, 5x Siroria (inferno or dual wield), 1x Slimecraw, 1x Harpooner's Wading Kilt (new mythic), vMA Inferno Staff
- Bahsei's and Diamond's Victory are two new viable sets
Key class changes:
- Death Knell: Reduced the amount of Critical Chance granted from this passive to 4% per Grave Lord ability slotted, down from 10%.
Rotation / Skills:
- no significant changes here, as before!
Blue CP Slottables:
- Fighting Finesse, Deadly Aim, Master-at-arms, Backstabber (Thaumaturge as first choice backup)
Damage Comparison estimate for Blackwood:
- If Flames of Ambition sets and rotation here, expect:
- 104/105k+ with Sorrow / Siroria

Thanks for checking out this collection of Magicka Necromancer PVE Builds (originally) for the Flames of Ambition DLC, but also with adjustments for Blackwood for The Elder Scrolls Online. These are primarily aimed towards 12-person trials but can be adjusted to suit any PVE content.
Here, we showcase two Magicka Necromancer Builds. We have a classic ranged 'DOT' Magicka Necromancer Build, which you may have seen in recent time. In addition, we have a Vampire Build, which involves high-risk, high-reward gameplay - popular for those really looking to push the limits.
