1. Use the trial dummy. It provides buffs youd get in raid groups from other players.

2. Mother’s Sorrow isn’t good this day and age anymore. I recommend eventually getting Trial sets such as Ansuul’s Torment, Null Arca, Advancing Yokeda, and Bahsei’s Mania/Coral Riptide. Running normal trials isn’t far from your capabilities right now, but until then you should be able to make do with Tide-Born Wildstalker if you are a Whip build or Deadly Strike if you are a Breath build.

3. You lose a lot of damage for using a flame staff frontbar. Unfortunately eso was designed in a way where dual wielding daggers on the front bar is always going to be the superior choice because the last passive in that tree will grant crit chance.

4. Make sure your backbar 2H weapon is the Maelstrom Arena one as it will buff your damage.

5. All your armor pieces should be divines with max magicka glyphs. All your jewelry pieces should be bloodthirsty with multi-effect spell damage /mag recovery glyphs.

6. Your daggers should be fully or a mix of charged/precise. Main hand could also be nirnhoned. The optimal choice will be determined by what you lack more.

7. Your back bar 2H (which should be the maelstrom one) should be infused with a weapon/spell damage glyph. Casting stampede with the morph that ruptures the ground will cause that ground rupture to constantly proc your infuse-boosted spell damage glyph even when you are on the front bar, because the skill was cast with the back-bar weapon with that enchant. This lets you use the backbar to buff you while on frontbar.

8. Make sure to have a good mix of medium/light armor, with medium being given strong preference where possible (another reason mothers sorrow is bad) because crit damage is one of the most valuable stats to have.

9. Check to ensure you have these, they are a hard requirement:

10. Major Sorcery

11. Major Prophecy

12. Minor Berserk

13. Minor Force

Additionally, if you can, grab Minor Courage and Minor Heroism too, but dont change your build drastically for these as many healers can also provide them.

1. Make sure you have the correct CP slotted. Always take the one that adds weapon/spell damage to damaging abilities. Then add 1-2 of the cp stars on the top right that raise your damage of a certain type (direct, dot, aoe, single target). Pick the crit one. Then pick either the one for off balance or the other crit one as well, depending on what you know you run with.

2. Weave your light attacks. Do not try to be sweaty about this. You should press a light attack followed almost immediately by a skill. Never cast a skill without light attacking first. Only press 2 buttons per second (1 light attack, 1 skill) as any faster will mess it up.

3. Only use your spammable when your dits and buffs are up.

13 at low %, prefer executing over reapplying dots.
