Description

Hades is a Magicka Necromancer PVE Build that relies on strong Elemental damage and assistance from your undead minions to destroy enemies. The build is balanced around solo and group gameplay, allowing you to experience every PVE content ESO has to offer.

The idea behind Hades is to use your Undead minions to deal damage but also as a source of corpses for you to exploit. Many Necromancer skills use corpses as fuel to boost your DPS and create specific effects.

The ability of the Magicka Necromancer to also use elemental damage makes this build easy and powerful.

Hades is a perfect Magicka Necromancer PVE Build for new players but also ESO veterans. For a Stamina Necromancer PVE Build, you can take a look at Harbinger.

If you are a new player, you can take a look at my Necromancer Beginner Guide.

If you are looking for a Solo PVE Build for Arenas like the Maelstrom Arena and Vateshran Hollows, take a look at my Magicka Necromancer Solo Build.

You can find more Builds in the Necromancer Builds page.

Build Difficulty Rating – 3,5

Hades is a strong and relatively easy Magicka Necromancer PVE Build. Thanks to the unique nature of the Necromancer we can use strong elemental damage and summon undead minions to assist us.

You should always keep your AOE skills, debuff and potion up for the best results. Try to have your Skeletal Arcanist always active and summon your Stalking Blastbones to boost your damage.

Use the Stalking Blastbones corpse to fuel your Mystic Siphon and replenish Magicka but also deal additional damage.

Rotation

Drink a potion, set your Barbed Trap, summon Spirit Guardian(solo), attack with Avid Boneyard, Unstable Wall of Elements, Mystic Orb and switch bars.

Continue with Stalking Blastbones, Skeletal Arcanist, Degeneration, Mystic Siphon, Stalking Blastbones, Ricochet Skull/Frost Reach x3, Stalking Blastbones, Spirit Guardian(solo), switch bars, Avid Boneyard, Unstable Wall of Elements, Barbed Trap, Mystic Orb, switch bars and continue.

Use Glacial Colossus when ready. Always use Avid Boneyard‘s synergy when it appears and Light Attack before every skill/action.
