Description

Spellblade is an one of a kind Melee Magicka Nightblade PVE Build capable of completing solo and group PVE content. The build is combining melee strikes and Magicka based skills to help you destroy enemies and create a fun gameplay.

Spellblade is a viable Melee Magblade, a Hybrid PVE Build, perfect for solo overworld roaming or group difficulty content. For a more traditional Magicka Nightblade PVE Build you can take a look at my Shadowfire.

If you are a new player, you can take a look at my Nightblade 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 Nightblade Solo Build.

You can find more Builds in the Nightblade Builds page.

Crippling Grasp: Deals good direct damage and has a strong DOT effect.

Impale: Our execute ability. You should start using this skill once the enemy’s health drops below 25%.

Degeneration: Strong offensive skill.

Soul Harvest: Primary Ultimate. Increases our damage to the enemy and generates Ultimate faster.

Twisting Path: One of our strong AOE-DOT skills.

Siphoning Attacks: Most important skill for our sustain.
