  • Kilt – Here is how you get the Harpooner’s Wading Kilt

Yes you are wearing one piece Relequen, one piece Nirn on the front bar so you can maintain the 4 piece bonus of both sets at all times. Yes, that means you have 6 pieces of Nirn on in total. Yes this is the optimal loadout this patch ðŸ™‚

ROTATION – MAGICKA WARDEN BUILD

Use Sub Assault every 6th ability. This is your highest DPS ability so you want to use it every time you can
ESO Skills Subterranean > Spammable or Dots

The rotation is dynamic, which basically means you will be using your spammable Screaming Cliff Racer any time the rest of your dots are ticking.
