Welcome to Nirnstorm.com‘s Magicka Templar ( Magplar ) PvP Build for the Blackwood patch.
This patch multiple healing abilities of the of Magicka Templar gained a new Health-scaling mechanic. This build utilizes those healing abilities alongside Vampirism’s Undeath passive that got fixed this patch and a solid combination of sets to gain a very powerful burst while maintaining a ton of healing power and tankiness.
If you’re looking for a very strong build that has a lot of damage, but still enables you to survive very easily in difficult scenarios and even massively outnumbered fights in PvP, you’ve come to the right place!
The optimal race for this build is Breton. This race helps you sustain magicka skills better than any, and increases your spell resistance and your magicka pool as well. It’s especially important since this build is meant to be played as a Vampire which makes sustain more difficult.
Other good alternatives for races would be Dark Elf, Argonian and High Elf.
The mundus stone we are using on this build is The Atronach, which grants us additional Magicka Recovery which will further help us sustain despite playing as a vampire.
We play as a Stage Three vampire on this build, as we want to benefit from Mist Form which helps us kite enemies and mitigate a lot of damage as well as the Undeath passive which provides additional damage mitigation at all times.
Unlock only the passives that work with your preferred stage of Vampirism.
The recommended stage for this build is Stage Three, for which you need to unlock only Strike from the Shadows and Undeath
Unlock only Combat Medic
Unlock only Medicinal Use
Defending
Double DoT Poison
Sturdy Max MagickaBalorgh – This monster set providers a massive amount of damage and penetration whenever you cast your ultimate ability. It’s particularly effective with builds that have either very cheap ultimates (to activate it often) or very expensive ultimates (to activate it at full force). On our Magicka Templar build, we have both. Our front-bar ultimate is very cheap and will guarantee a small spike of stats whenever you cast your Crescent Sweep to try and get a kill; and whenever you are facing a large group of enemies, you can build up to your Swarming Scion back-bar ultimate then activate Balorgh for a massive amount of stats.
Robes of the Hist (Hist Sap) – This is one of the strongest defensive sets available to us this patch. It grants a large amount of healing over five seconds whenever you are effected by a disabling, immobilizing or snaring effect, which happens pretty much all the time when you are outnumbered, and the set has no cooldown. While it’s not as cost efficient as sets like Pariah, it’s edge comes from the fact it can be one-barred, meaning we only use it on the front bar and as long as we make sure to get to the front bar at least once per five seconds, we will always benefit from it’s effect.
Clever Alchemist – This is one of the highest damage-value sets currently in the game. It has a very easy to control proc condition and can be timed perfectly with Balorgh to guarantee a very powerful peak burst. In addition this set increases our max Health which will increase our healing power via the new health-scaled healing mechanic.
Malacath’s Band of Brutality – This mythic item is super useful on this build despite the nerf it received this patch. As our critical chance is naturally low, Malacath guarantees all our abilities gain 16% more damage at the cost of our very unreliable critical strikes, which enhances our damage drastically.
Armor of the Trainee – We use one piece of this set on this build to increase our max Health to further increase our healing power.
Weights – This patch we use 3 pieces of Heavy Armor to gain tankiness, 3 pieces of Light Armor to offset the Heavy Armor penalties and gain a bit more damage and sustain, and 1 piece of Medium Armor for the Undaunted passives.
Sturdy & Impen – The main trait we use on this build is Sturdy, to allow us to mitigate damage via blocking without losing too much of our Stamina while we are outside of Mist Form. We also use one piece of Reinforced and two pieces of Impenetrable to further increase our resistances.
We use Clockwork Citrus Fillet since this one food gives us all: Max Health, Max Magicka and Magicka Recovery, and we benefit a ton from all three of these stats.
We use Spell Power Potions (made with Lady’s Smock, Corn Flower and either Water Hyacinth or Namira’s Rot) which grant us the very valuable Major Sorcery buff that we don’t have access to on this build otherwise.
We use Double DoT Poisons on our back-bar to help increase our pressure on enemies between our burst rotations.
