Introduction

Welcome to DottzGaming.com’s Solo Magicka Necromancer Build PvE, The Conjuror, for the Elder Scrolls Online! This build is intended for playing solo PvE content, such as questing, public dungeons, Maelstrom Arena, etc.! This build focuses on summoning a ton of fire-and-forget pets, allowing you to build your own personal army while exploring the world! My goal with this build was to create a magicka necromancer build that could play solo effectively, but had strong thematic ties to the class’s identity!

Setup

Gear

Attributes

All points into Magicka.

Skills

Main Bar – Destruction Staff: Hungry Scythe, Blighted Blastbones, Detonating Siphon, Unnerving Boneyard, Elemental Blockade, Glacial Colossus

Back Bar – Destruction Staff: Skeletal Arcanist, Harness Magicka, Intensive Mender, Deaden Pain or Soul Splitting Trap, Summoner’s Armor, Ravenous Goliath

NOTE: The Gold Road chapter added the new Scribing system, which allows you to customize 11 new skills to fit your own play style. If you would like to work one of those skills into this build, feel free to add them in as you see fit.

Vampire vs. Werewolf vs. Mortal

You are playing a mortal for this build. We dont need any of the skills that either of these skill lines offer, so we remain as a mortal as to not suffer any drawbacks.

Champion Points

The list below showcases the order in which champion points should be acquired, the number of points you need to place into that perk and whether or not it needs to be slotted in the CP bar. The Warfare CP perks increase your damage and mitigation and are the most important, the Fitness tree has some miscellaneous sustain and defensive perks and the Craft tree has crafting and non-combat bonuses. The Craft CP points are entirely customizable to however you want, or you can follow the list below.

Resource Management & Rotation

• Maintain Detonating Siphon, Wall of Elements, Unnerving Boneyard, and Skeletal Arcanist.
• Maintain Summoner’s Armor at all times to help keep you tanky.
• Use Deaden Pain every time there are corpses near you to generate ultimate, give you a HoT and major protection!
• If none of your DoTs need to be refreshed, you want to light attack weave, use Blighted Blastbones and Death Scythe. Heavy attack if you need magicka.
• If you know a boss/mob is going to deal a big amount of damage, use your Harness Magicka to defend yourself and use Deaden Pain. Also, making sure to have the Mender pet up in case your shield goes down will help alot to get a nice big heal!
