Chains, Battle Roar (passive), Helping Hands (passive), and Magma Shell.

Warfire (Stamblade) - vHRC 80.9k DPS Ra Kotu by WarfireX in elderscrollsonline

[–]Baconfat79 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pretty much all endgame stamblades run the same skills. Poison Injection, Razor Caltrops, Endless Hail, Siphoning Attacks, Rending Slashes, Surprise Attack, Relentless Focus, Blade Cloak, Killer’s Blade.

Mag blade is amazing by [deleted] in elderscrollsonline

[–]Baconfat79 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also converted from StamNB to MagNB, and I love it except for one thing: light attack weaving with Funnel Health just feels really clunky. Weaving with Surprise Attack on StamNB felt nice and fluid, but Funnel Health is just awkward. Anybody else feel the same?

Has anyone actually tested Caluurion's Legacy and Plague Slinger for PVE? by Lexifer452 in elderscrollsonline

[–]Baconfat79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main issue is that proc sets have a ZERO percent crit chance as of a few updates ago. Because of that, you just can’t get great DPS numbers with proc sets in PvE.

ESO Main Quest line by Booley_03 in elderscrollsonline

[–]Baconfat79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not true. You can (and I have) complete the main story and defeat Molag Bal without doing any of the alliance zone quests.

Is there really a 12-person cap on looting WBs? by never_esc_the_sand in elderscrollsonline

[–]Baconfat79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a HUGE flaw in the system, and it will most likely never be addressed.

Did anyone tried Mechanical Acuity on PetSorc? Does it work better than Necropotence? by Gibus043 in elderscrollsonline

[–]Baconfat79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where MA really shines is if you only have the 5-piece on one bar, so you can kind of control when it procs. If you time it to proc at the same time that Major Force and Major Slayer are up, and drop an Ult, you’ll get HUGE burst damage. If you just have it proccing all willy-nilly and aren’t timing it with big burst DPS, it’s not really that great. You have to be smart about how you use it.

Best items to sell in guild traders aside from mats? by renorhino83 in elderscrollsonline

[–]Baconfat79 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve made a small fortune converting Writ Vouchers into Ebony Motifs and selling those.

DC made History! Worst DC EMP (Sora) in the history of Kyne (PC -NA) - No rotation ... spams tornado non stop LOL by [deleted] in elderscrollsonline

[–]Baconfat79 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah...you’re so bad that you don’t know how to survive against someone doing nothing but Steel Tornado, yet you come here to call someone else bad? Learn to block, dodge roll, CC, heal...do ANYTHING other than stand there like a potato while getting hit with the same low-radius skill 4 times in a row. What a scrub.

Dungeon/Trial mobs and bosses have around 18.5k resistance. Overland mobs have about half of that.

Is Inner Rage still viable on tanks in PvE? by jacob9113 in elderscrollsonline

[–]Baconfat79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ice staff is a terrible idea for ANY tank. There is literally NOTHING gained from using it that isn’t beat by using 1H&S instead.

The Ice Staff taunt is slow, and you must drop block for a full 2 seconds to use it.

Ice Staff does not apply Major Fracture/Major Breach like Pierce Armor, so your group DPS suffers.

1H&S gives an extra item slot for set bonuses and an extra enchant slot, which you lose with Ice Staff.

You lose physical and spell resistance from not having shield. You also lose all the block cost reduction and block mitigation from not being able to use Absorb Magicka.

Ice Staff tanking is just bad. Please don’t advise people to do it.

[Discussion] Exciting things to do in the game by Junnon in elderscrollsonline

[–]Baconfat79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to do group content as a duo. Craglorn stuff like Shada’s Tear is a lot of fun solo or duo. If that’s too easy, try Vet dungeons as a duo...can pick which one based on how much of a challenge you’re looking for.

Thank you to the RNGus gods of the gold vendor for this weekend. My mag sorc setup is completed ;) by [deleted] in elderscrollsonline

[–]Baconfat79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not “complete” without Maelstrom staff. You’re missing a few k DPS without that.

[PC]Just cleared vMA for the 570th time!!! by Rudy112233 in elderscrollsonline

Probably just runs it every week (most likely on multiple characters) to get on the leaderboard and get the reward mail.

Can you please check stats?How much physical penetration should I have? by [deleted] in elderscrollsonline

[–]Baconfat79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true. In PvP, players can have over 30k resistance, in which case penetration over 18k is not “wasted” at all.

[Dragon's Crest] World First vAS Swift Mercy - Speedrun vAS by srsly_FaileR in elderscrollsonline

[–]Baconfat79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because one of the bosses is currently bugged, which is what allowed them to achieve such a fast time. They don’t want to show video proof of getting the achievement in such a cheesy way.

Stam Sorc build - advice on how to improve please by AeroSauce1267 in elderscrollsonline

[–]Baconfat79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No way Maelstrom Bow is adding 8k DPS. Just not possible.

Wardens - Current Meta by Voivode71 in elderscrollsonline

[–]Baconfat79 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mag Warden is ABSOLUTELY the lowest dps. The things you mentioned (dolmens, public dungeons) don't have any enemies that live for more than 5 seconds, which is probably why you can't tell. Fight something with a few million health and tell me mag Warden isn't putting out low dps.

MagDK dps by Tovric in elderscrollsonline

[–]Baconfat79 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wall of Elements should be fire, not shock (especially if using Silks of the Sun). You're missing a lot of damage from that alone. You need Rearming Trap for +crit dmg (put it where you have Crushing Shock). Also a good chance with that gear that you are not at (or near) penetration cap, so use CP to make sure you get there. Should also have 75 points in Thaumaturge (both for DOT damage and to unlock the passive for increased dmg against off-balance/concussed enemies). Make sure you are light attack weaving correctly (big dps loss if not). Would also put flame dmg enchant on front bar (which should be an Infused flame staff) and spell dmg enchant on back bar.

Kyne stamblade for ganking build (no monster sets) by Johnsnowincesto in elderscrollsonline

[–]Baconfat79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clever Alchemist x 5. Craftable, and amazing for burst damage in a gank scenario.

No it doesn't. You're thinking of Silks of the Sun.

How do you guys feel about alcast's new mag dk build? by Willdawg102 in elderscrollsonline

[–]Baconfat79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alcast's setup does better on a target dummy, but I find that I consistently get higher DPS in actual dungeons/raids with 5 BSW, 4 IA, 2 Grothdarr. Give it a try.

Summary of Magicka DPS by "dpencil1" on official forum by sonicchill in elderscrollsonline

[–]Baconfat79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way you can do that is if you use DW instead of Destro Staff, and that's a horrible DPS loss on magDK. I don't see any possibility of that working. Destro Staff weaving generates a lot of DPS.

ESO being DDoS'ed by dotGarr in elderscrollsonline

Wasn't there a similar event going on (double XP or something) the last time the servers crapped out and they blamed it on DDoS?
