ESO Magicka Necromancer PvP Build

The Necromancer is one of the newer classes introduced in The Elder Scrolls Online. The Necromancer has been known as one of the stronger classes of the game. Magicka mancers take advantage of good defense and high damage along with finding opportunity to pull off clutch kills in PvP. A lot of players will tell you playing a Necromancer in PvP is their favorite way to play the game. So without further ado here is our ESO Magicka Necromancer PvP Build.

Overview

Race: Khajiit (best choice) or Imperial and Orc (also are great choices)

Mundus Stone: The Lover (increase penetration), or The Apprentice (increase spell damage)
Consumables: Essence of Immovability, Tri-Stat Potions, Essence of Weapon Power, Damage Poisons
Attributes: 49 Magicka, 15 Health, 0 Stamina

Gear

The best in slot options for this build would be considered “meta” and it is advised to try and stay to the best option as best as possible. We are balancing the sets with the most damage you can obtain on the front bar while using a tanky or buffing back bar.

Gear Information:

• Armor in 6 Impenetrable 1 Reinforced
• We wear 1 light armor pieces
• We wear 2 heavy armor piece on our larger pieces (chest, legs)
• We wear 4 medium armor piece
• Front bar weapons in Charged trait to buff damage
• Back Bar weapon in Defending
• Three Infused Jewelry Traits
• All tri-stat armor glyphs
• The higher the quality gear the more damage you can deal

Gear Weights and Traits

Skills

Front Bar

Front Bar: Destructive Reach, Degeneration, Blighted Blastbones, Mortal Coil, Elemental Susceptibility, Dawnbreaker of Smiting

Back Bar

Back Bar: Spirit Guardian, Resistant Flesh, Resolving Vigor, Summoner’s Armor, Race Against Time, Ravenous Goliath

Rotation

Buff Rotation: First begin by buffing ourselves up. Summoner’s Armor to get our resistances into Resistant Flesh and Spirit Guardian. Before swapping bars cast Race Against Time for our damage buff.

Damage Rotation: To begin the damage rotation cast Degeneration on your target to get a damage buff and a small DOT on them. Go into Elemental Susceptibility for another debuff on the target. Destructive Reach is a great damage dealer and also buffs our damage due to using the Master’s version, cast that next. Last is the dance between Mortal Coil, Blighted Blastbones, and the massive damage ultimate Dawnbreaker of Smiting.

Healing: The heals are Resolving Vigor, Spirit Guardian, and Resistant Flesh. The backbar ultimate Ravenous Goliath is a strong defensive ultimate that can reset a fight.

Champion Points

Because everyone who is viewing this guide is at a different Champion Point level I will only be putting up the champion points I chose at the level I was at the time of making this guide, which is around 1075. Remember that Champion Point soft cap is around 1800 but you can easily achieve high value kills with low cp.

Additional Information

• Stay defensive with your group then explode with great damage
• Time your rotation focus on the skills and sets that increase damage and try to stack them then focus on opportunity to burst attack
