SKILL LINEAGE – SOLO MAGICKA NIGHTBLADE BUILD
This shows where each skill is located for the solo magicka nightblade.
ROTATION – SOLO MAGICKA NIGHTBLADE BUILD
- Nightblade’s have a very dynamic rotation. Try to proc your Merciless Resolve after every 5th or 6th light attack.
- Make sure to prioritize Elemental Wall, Twisting Path, and Merciless Resolve followed by Barbed Trap. When all dots are up, your spammable is Swallow Soul.
- Execute: At 25%
- Spammable becomes Impale
- Stop using Swallow Soul
- We are only using Unstable Wall, Twisting Path, and Barbed Trap(we stop casting the rest of the dots in execute)
- Spammable becomes Impale
Beyond that, you are still proccing your Merciless Resolve after every 5th light attack.
