ABILITIES
This buffs you with Major Expedition for 4 seconds granting you movement speed and also turns you into a ball of lightning for 30 seconds, procing your Storm-Cursed set as it damages nearby enemies.
This passively heals for 33 seconds you as you deal critical damage.
This is your spammable that does single target and aoe damage. It can used from ranged or melee. It also procs the Class Mastery script, adding additional shock damage, proccing your Storm-Cursed set.
Scripts: Multi-Target, Class Mastery, Lifesteal
This deals shock damage in an area every 1 second, which procs your Storm-Cursed set.
This stacks up to 10 times increasing your weapon and spell damage per stack and can be used to consume 5 stacks at a time for burst damage, which also heals you if you are in melee range. Try to keep this between 5-10 stacks when able.
This does a burst of disease damage and causes the target to take 20% more damage for 8 seconds. If cast with 120 or more ultimate, it deals increases damage and extends the 8 second damage buff to 12 seconds.
NOTE: The idea with this morph is primarily you are nuking trash mobs with aoe, which doesn't need this ultimate, and most enemies will die way too fast. So at the start of each boss you get to, you will have more ultimate, likely above 120, and have a longer damage buff window of 12 seconds.
You can also use the Templar ultimate Crescent Sweep for a more AOE focused set up.
BACK BAR
IMPORTANT! For Infinite Archive, the only change I made after Arc 2 is swapping Merciless Resolve for Razor Caltrops. Around the Arc 4 area is where this build will start to fizzle out and a build with more defenses is needed. For context why, check out # 8: HERE. However, this build is fantastic for speed clearing Arc 1-2 or 3 for gear and lead farming.
IMPORTANT! For a more group dps setup for things like group veteran dungeons/Trials, or parsing, here are a list of changes to make:
1) Swap the Kraghs helm for a medium Slimecraw. Light will give perfect states, but medium will make it more sustainable in live content.
2) Swap the Sharpened Maces for Charged Daggers enchanted with Flame and Poison.
3) If parsing, swap Reaving Blows Champion Point Slottable for Exploiter. You can use either in Dungeons/Trials.
4) If parsing, swap Fighting Finesse Champion Point Slottable for Wrathful Strikes.
5) Swap Serpent Mundus for Thief.
6) Swap Arteum Takeaway Broth food for Lava Foot Soul & Saltrice.
All gear minus weapons and helm stay the same. It has a parse ceiling around 107k, while keeping Critical Surge for live content.https://eso-hub.com/en/skills/alliance-war/assault/razor-caltrops
