Revive your enemies once again and make them fight alongside you! You can find people who are fine with off-the-beaten-road builds and who will gladly take you in but it will have to be something you conciously and deliberately look for.Sword of the Necromancer: Revenant is a third-person 3D Action RPG with Dungeon Crawler sections. It's not something an average player will accept. You will get laughed at in any kind of more serious guild. You will be kicked out of random groups immediately after they see your weapons. What you will definitely encounter in group content as a sword and shiled DD is a giant social acceptance wall. Although I doubt it will be possible to be even close to viable (in my opinion, your mileage and mileage of your group may vary) as a magDD with sword and shield. You can technically make a viable stamDD with sword and shield. A DD with sword and shield will never get even close to competitve level. I'd it the same regarding being a dps? Using sword and shield and be able to make it work if I make it so?

Food, jewelry enchants, weapon enchants, sets, and abilities can all easily compensate for it- Which is what I meant by "It's up to you to make it work." Good tanks never go full one stat though, almost every tank uses mag and stamina abilities because they are needed for certain situations (or most situations if you have garbage support).Īh i see. You absolutely can go sword and shield and plain magicka though. As we talked about before, you can't go sword shield and plain Magicka. Pure tank builds do very little damage, and while they don't die, the enemy doesn't die either, so every fight will take a long time.īut I can always just swap the shield out with a sword and dual wield right?Īre there any scythe staves in eso you can møg into?Īgain you can use whatever you like, no one is making you choose mag or stam, you can do both. That said, for overland content, you can basically do whatever you want.įor levelling and questing, I would not recommend going fully into tank. So you don't tell the game "I'm a magicka-using character!", you just spend points on magicka and use magicka morphs of skills. They still have a pool of the other resource, though (between 10-15k with food), and can use that to activate abilities that cost the other resource, or use stamina for dodging, blocking, etc. So specialising into one of them is beneficial. Because, as you said, abilities that cost magicka do more damage the higher your magicka pool is, and the same for stamina abilities and the stamina pool.

In PvE, most characters put all attribute points (64 in total) into their primary resource maybe a few into health. When we talk about "stamina builds" and "magicka builds", we talk about characters who have most of their points in that resource. If I go stamina build, does that mean I should ignore my Magicka pool?Īlso, let's say if I spent most points in stamina, doesn't that mean if I have an ability that costs stamina and Magicka, the stamina one does more damage? Or is Magicka and stamina just spending pool? That means I only use stamina, for both sprinting and abilities, and not magicka at all, or am i missing something? If I convert to stamina, does that mean that I ain't gonna use any magicka abilities at all? There are some few that I like, that can't be morphed to magicka. it -would- be better to have more options instead. at worst, you would have to grind up a new weapon skill line, and that is fun all by itself. Its not that difficult to redo attributes and/or skills. and with a hybrid setup, you have at least enough basic stamina to use your S&B right.Īlso, you CAN always give it a try, and respec later on if you find it not to your liking. On the other hand, if you DO go actually "hybrid", your character will be suboptimal, yes, but its still enough to get through all the storyline questing, and the fights actually feel more interesting exactly -because- you don't burn down -everything- as soon as you attack. it is painful when you compare them to the more effective builds) (and I have several hybrid characters I made just to see how it goes.

I mean, you -can- go with a staff as second weapon, use that for attacking, and switch to S&B only when tanking.

It is a little better when you add heavy armor into the mix, but if you go magica, your sword and shield will be very underwhjelming in damage output, and you will run out of attack resource pretty quick. Will I nerf myself too much with magicka sword shield necromancer?
