SITUATION + STRATEGY

  1. For Trials:
    1. Use Spell Symmetry to restore 3000 Magicka and reduce the cost of your next Magicka ability by 25%

    2. Replace Silver Leash with Overflowing Altar for additional heals when Silver Leash is not needed for the adds
      ESO Skills Overflowing Altar

    3. Shield Discipline works great when you need a “free” block for 7 seconds that you can rez or heavy attack during
