**The Art of Magic and Nightblade Builds: A Deep Dive**

As a seasoned player, I've had my fair share of experimentation with different builds and playstyles. One build that caught my attention was the Magic and Nightblade combination, particularly the "Cleansing Health" set. This set is designed to provide sustained damage and healing capabilities, making it an attractive option for players looking to take on challenging content.

In this article, I'll delve into the details of the "Cleansing Health" set, exploring its mechanics, strengths, and weaknesses. We'll also discuss the importance of armor, Champion Points, and stat allocation in creating a well-rounded build.

**The Cleansing Health Set**

The Cleansing Health set is designed to provide sustained damage and healing capabilities. This set is comprised of several pieces of armor, including the helmet, shoulder, body, and shield. The set's name "Cleansing Health" refers to its ability to restore health to the player, making it an attractive option for players who want to maintain a high level of survivability.

One of the key components of this build is the use of Roots and Snares. These abilities are designed to slow down opponents, allowing the player to land more attacks and deal more damage. However, I found that this set only works while the player is cced (captured), and I tried to avoid being cced at all costs. This set just didn't work for me, but there are other options available.

For example, players can use crafted sets or Seducer to create a more flexible build. The key is to understand that this set is designed to be used in conjunction with other abilities and playstyles. I personally like Rattle Cage because it eliminates the need for spell damage buff and allows me to run Reaper Mark, which deals massive damage against opponents.

**Armor and Stat Allocation**

When creating a Magic and Nightblade build, armor plays a crucial role in determining the effectiveness of the set. The armor used should provide sufficient protection while also allowing for efficient movement and casting.

In my opinion, Breton is the best race for this build, as it provides cost reduction and elemental resistance. However, I understand that some players prefer to use High Elf or other races, depending on their playstyle and preferences.

When allocating Champion Points, it's essential to consider the set's mechanics and the player's overall build. I've found that increasing healing is crucial for this build, as it allows the player to recover health over time. I also prioritize reducing Magi cost of abilities, as this enables the player to cast spells more frequently.

**Stat Sheet**

To create a well-rounded Magic and Nightblade build, it's essential to understand the stat sheet. In my case, I'm using the Thief Mundus for extra crit damage and crit heals, which are critical components of this build.

Here's an overview of my current stat sheet:

* Max Magicka: 37.6k

* Max Health: 28.7k

* Max Stamina: 15K

* Recovery: 733

These stats demonstrate the importance of magicka and health in a Magic and Nightblade build, as well as the need for stamina to maintain mobility.

**Conclusion**

The Magic and Nightblade combination is a complex and rewarding playstyle that requires careful consideration of armor, Champion Points, and stat allocation. By understanding the mechanics of the Cleansing Health set and allocating points effectively, players can create a powerful build that provides sustained damage and healing capabilities.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey what's up guys it's Cipher from cipher.com and today I am bringing you a very unique Magic and Nightblade PVP build now some disclaimers before I get into this uh I did take some inspiration from of this build from Kina he is a well-known uh Magic and night blade uh but most of it is just things that I felt like trying out and it seemed to work decently well like enough this build is not for everybody I'm telling you right now that if you um if you're not very good at PVP or or you're trying to get into magic and night blade this is not the build to get into it's very hard to play it's not ideal for every situation but the thing about this build is it's very tricky in the sense that opponents don't really know what they're going up against because not a lot of people are running something like this and it can catch people off guard it has crazy potential burst damage while still sustaining and having a lot of healing over time so you'll see the build and the abilities you might say hey Cypher why aren't you running this or that well the thing is this isn't this isn't like a meta build I'm not trying to make the strongest craziest magic and night blade this build is just fun for me to play and it's interesting and you know if you watch the PVP video that I just posted about this build you'll see what I'm talking about so let's get into it this is a sword and board Destro magic a night blade heavy armor built sword and board bar we got impale for the execute you're going to definitely need this to finish targets off you don't have too much burst damage so you will slowly wither down your opponents and finish them off with impel swallow soul is going to be our cheap spammable DPS ability it's also going to give us heal over time and 8% increased healing which is really important for this build Lotus fan Gap closer dot snare you're going to need this Mass hysteria fear it's going to be our main CC merciless resolve is going to give us a little bit more burst damage and additional damage on top of that with the spectral bow and the 8% uh minor berserk Soul Harvest is going to be your main bread and butter ultimate it's also going to give you a lot of ultimate while you're killing opponents which will help you because we are using the deathro ultimate on the back bar uh Soul Harvest gives you a 20% damage Boost after activating it for 6 seconds it also reduces your opponent's healing by 31% 30% and then a little bit of a boost from other sources and whenever you kill somebody you get 10 ultimate while using Soul Harvest so this is your main sword and board DPS Bar Back Bar we're running Destra here's where things get a little bit more interesting we're running the dester ultimate eye of the flame siphoning attacks for Magic mag and stamina sustain refreshing path for heal over time also a little bit of extra damage if your opponents are fighting you in your path Mirage the reason we went with Mirage instead of Double Take is because we need that extra physical and spell resist plus we already have two other sources of um major Mobility what's it called major Expedition we have two other sources we have an offensive Source from clippering crippling grasp which is G us giving us a nice damage over time and uh rout plus snare and we have a defensive Source from refreshing path so going with double take would be Overkill you already have two other ways to get major Expedition a defense a defensive source and an offensive Source now here is you know an ability slot that you can pretty much put whatever you want here I put Reaper Mark not Mark Target Reapers Mark it's a diff it's a different morph uh it gives you more healing when you kill an opponent and this is pretty important this is going to be your only burst heal you have on this build so if you get really low on health the best way to get your health back up is to kill somebody who's marked from your Reaper not only that after you kill somebody you gain major berserk which gives you 25% bonus damage for 5 seconds that's going to cause a Chan reaction you kill somebody you have more damage you can kill another person remark them then you get more damage so on and so forth um the thing that's important here is Reapers Mark is like it's an ability slot that you can put whatever you want you don't have to put Reapers Mark there's other options you can put here if you want to run cloak you can run cloak there's other options now you might be saying where is the spell damage well we are running rattle cage on this build uh before I get into the armor sets I just want to show you the Synergy here the reason why this this build it doesn't have extremely high spell damage or extremely high Max Magicka but it still has a lot of damage output when played properly because of the fact that Merc resolve gives us minor berserk that's 8% bonus damage Soul Harvest gives us 20% additional damage that is not a major or minor buff it is on its own 20% so that's 20% 8% on the back bar we have Reaper Mark which gives us major berserk when we kill somebody that's 25% bonus damage so we're talking huge amount of bonus damage 8% 20% and 25% when all that is stacked your damage goes through the roof and you will hit extremely hard even with a lack of spell damage and Max Maga you will hit extremely hard um so let's get into the armor sets really quickly the armor sets are definitely definitely interchangeable I've played this build with a variety of different sets and um this has been my favorite so far but sometimes I go for scoria for bonus damage uh we are running five pieces of falas the reason I'm running this is because this build doesn't have too much burst so you need to be able to have sustained damage um on your opponents and one way to do that is by to reduce their healing if you're going against a Stam sorc you stay inside their hurricane they're never going to get outside of that faala debuff um people who are attacking you constantly or aoeing you they're going to be debuffed as well Templars who are attacking you also debuffed this is going to be the main way to kill people without falas it's very hard to pull this build off because of the fact that you don't have burst so you need another source of pressuring your opponents and getting them low enough for an impale execute and falas is a trick for me now the rest of the sets are actually completely interchangeable completely interchangeable you could run for the two-piece right now I'm running troll King which increases your healing and also gives you a huge burst of Health recovery this is like malabat 2 2.0 uh but it's not as visible and it's not bugged like malth is uh so it's nice Health recovery considering that we don't have a huge burst heal or reliable burst heal uh it's definitely something that you should consider using um especially if you can't manage your health I've also ran scoria with this build and that has given me some extreme burst damage it's giving me a lot of damage um so scoria is very nice as well I'm pretty sure grar could work and some other options also can work but troll King is a set that I've kind of Fallen back on and I think is the way to go uh in the PVP video I use scoria as well and you can see how that's effective because it gives you with all the dots you're running uh you get a lot of burst damage out of it so that's just one option now we're also running rattle cage now rattle cage is definitely interchangeable you don't have to run rattle cage there's other options for you out there I recently tried the hist Set uh but unfortunately I realized that the hist is actually uh garbage for this build it's actually just garbage set in general the way it works is very counterproductive of what a skilled PVP player should be achieving it only works when you get CCD and you don't have enough stamina to CC break or you know if you force yourself in the CC but that's very very counterproductive I was hoping this set could work as far as giving me Health back I thought I could get health back from Roots and snares and whatnot but that's not the case it only works while you are cced and I try to avoid being cced at all costs so this set just didn't work for me but there are other options you don't have to use construct uh I mean you don't have to use ricad you can use crafted sets you can use Seducer if you want to you can use just a damage oriented set um burning spell weave whatever you want to use you can you can use it you can you can work into this build um it's very flexible in that in that department I just like rattle cage because it eliminates the need for spell damage buff and it allows me to run Reaper Mark which is even more damage against my opponents and the burst major berserk if I kill them sword on board sharpened reinforced I think we are running impen on everything uh the helmet and shoulder are sturdy five pieces impend on the body uh reinforce Shield sharpen sword jewelry we got spell damage cost deduction cost deduction we're in heavy armor so the cost reduction is really important we're running an fala's inferno staff sharpened the poisons we are running are the drain Health poisons the reason you want to run this is because this is just another source of getting Health returned as you can see we have a lot of ways to get health back we have Reapers Mark we have swallow Soul we have drain Health poisons we have refreshing paths we have potions troll King which is going to give us Health recovery so all these different ways to get health back really good for the build and it gives you some insane sustain because you don't have to worry too much about your health your health is just passively regenerating so that's the armor uh let's get into Champion points really quickly seems like I have two to spend right here I'll just put them in uh increase healing okay so we have 95 points into magician which is going to reduce the Magi cost of abilities we have 37 points into magical recovery not really needed might take some of these out considering our magic recovery is only 700 so I might take these out and put them into more tumbling or Shadow W Shadow Ward reduce block cost tumbling reduce CC break and boul increase the the effectiveness of heal reduction abilities 22 into bless for extra healing 33 into elfborn 81 into Elemental expert 29 to spell erosion nothing here because we don't really do too many light and heavy attacks 22 into thge for the dots we're running five into spell shield 7 into resistance you really want this passive it's very important this is another way to get health back by the way this passive right here is very important resource 321 Health when you're hit by a critical attack this doesn't have a cool down as well you constantly get health when you get crit Hardy 51 El Defender 42 big skin 12 seven into quick recovery so basic CP layout nothing too crazy let's get into the stat sheet we're using the thief Mundus for extra crit that's going to give us crit damage and crit heals really important uh 37.6k Max Magicka 28.7k maximum health about 15K maximum stamina 733 recovery you see you see the stats right here not too much to explain we are a highelf but in my opinion the best race for this build is Breton you don't necessarily need the recovery or the flame damage on high elf I think the Breton cost reduction and the elemental resistance or the resistance is more important it but I don't want to switch back and forth between highelf and Brandon because there's builds that I play on Magic and night blade that prefer highelf over brenon this is one of those builds that prefer brenon uh so that's the way to go um if you guys have any questions about this build like I said this is a very you know unique different type of build I don't recommend it if you're new to the game or if you don't know what you're doing with magic and night blade I might upload something a little bit different for that's a little easier to play or pull off uh but for now thank you guys so much for watching I update the Builds
