Share To Your:Solo Magicka Necromancer is still one of the strongest solo classes in The Elder Scrolls Online. Lucky Ghost shares with you a build that can do fantastic AoE and single-target damage. Whatever you are focusing on will die, and everything standing next to it will also die because of the way the skills are set up on this build. Regardless of your level, you will be able to do big things with this build and tackle every piece of content that this game has to offer.
Basic Stats
Attributes: Put 64 points into Magicka
Consumables, Race, and Mundus
Race: High Elf/Dark Elf/Khajiit/Breton
If you are a new player, Breton is a fantastic option because it gives great sustain.
Mundus: Choose The Thief for the extra Critical Chance.
Food: Ghastly Eye Bowl. This food scales to your level. It leaves you low on Health, but the increased sustain will be useful.
Potions: Essence of Spell Power. You can use the basic Essence of Magicka potions anytime you're doing easy things like questing, Overland content, or normal dungeons. But for difficult content, or if you are jumping into a solo veteran arena for the first time, you will want to use the Essence of Spell Power potion.

Julianos and Magnus are craftable sets, and you can buy these ESO gear sets from FarmGolds, a great place to buy MMO gold, items, and accounts.
Bahsei's Mania: This ESO gear set increases your damage, and the less Magicka you have, the more damage you're doing. This set works well, especially in a patch like this where you will often find yourself low on Magicka, which means you're hitting even harder than before.
Kinras's Wrath: You can choose Kinra's Wrath for the jewelry and the weapon slots. You also need to put one piece of Kinra on the shoulder because you are wearing the Mythic ring – Ring of the Pale Order, on one of the ring fingers.
If you don't want to wear the Ring of the Pale Order, you can wear your 5-pieces of Kinras's Wrath for the jewelry slot and front-bar weapon. As for your head and shoulder slots, you can wear a Monster set like Iceheart for a more defensive setup. The Iceheart will keep you alive while playing solo as it gives you a great shield to mitigate incoming damage.
As for all of the Traits and Enchantments, you will need Divines on the body and Bloodthirsty on the jewelry with Spell Damage Enchantments.
If your sustain is not good, you'll want to put Magicka Recovery on your jewelry. This is a significant damage loss, so if you can manage without the sustain, you can try to do without the Magicka Recovery on your jewelry. However, you will do even worse damage if you have no Magicka at all. For that reason, feel free to apply some Magicka Recovery to your jewelry if you need to.
Skills
Front Bar
Stalking Blastbones
This is your hardest-hitting ability as a Necromancer. It has a large AoE radius upon impact, so everything around your target will melt with your target. Make sure you cast this ability every third ability because it hits super hard.
Ricochet Skull
This is your spammable ability. It does good damage to the enemies when it hits them, and every third cast of this ability deals 20% increased damage and will bounce up to 3 times to other nearby enemies.
Mystic Siphon
This ability violently drains the last spark of life from a corpse, dealing damage to enemies around the corpse and every enemy between you and the corpse. If you have a sustain issue, make sure you are constantly using Mystic Siphon on corpses nearby because this ability also gives you a little over 100 Magicka per second. Moreover, this ability doesn't cost any resources at all.
Skeletal Arcanist
This ability does a lot of damage and gives you increased sustain. You will always want to have this ability up because it's buffing your character, and it is one of your hardest-hitting skills in a parse.
Inner Light
Inner Light is a bar buffer, and it's going to help you do more damage. It's a nice simplifier of rotations, and that's what bar buffers are great for. You don't have to think about or use them, but they're still helping you all the same. While slotted, it will increase your Max Magicka by 5%, which is good for your sustain and damage because the larger your Magicka pool is, the more damage you do. Roughly, every 1,000 Magicka you have is 100 Spell Damage.
There are lots of ways to increase your damage: You can increase the size of your Magicka pool or get more Spell Damage, or do both. You can also increase your damage by getting Critical Chance or Critical Damage rate. Inner Light increases the size of your Magicka pool and gives you Major Prophecy, which will increase your Crit rating. You have already got this buff from your potions when you're doing sweaty content. But it's nice to have Inner Light on the front bar when you're not using those expensive potions.
There are some passives that you will touch on from the Mages Guild, which will make this ability an even better bar buffer.
Shooting Start (Ultimate Ability)
This is also not an ability you need to use. It is slotted for the Mages Guild Passives because putting this ability on this bar will increase your sustain and the size of your Magicka pool.
Back Bar
Unstable Wall of Fire
Unstable Wall of Fire is one of the most powerful DoTs in the game. It hits a massive area and does great damage.
You can also spam this ability: If you walk up to a group of enemies and want to melt them down, feel free to cast your Blastbones on the front bar, and then throw out Unnerving Boneyard and spam Unstable Wall of Fire until everything is dead. It's an effective way to melt large groups of enemies. It certainly beats throwing Ricochet Skull one at a time when you're fighting three or more things.
However, if you're fighting a boss, you certainly don't want to spam Unstable Wall of Fire unless you know it's going to be a short fight because doing this will drain your Magicka really fast.
Unnerving Boneyard
This is a nice DoT that does a ton of damage. Moreover, if you cast it on a corpse, it does 50% more damage, which is a massive buff to an ability.
Casting Blastbones and Skeletal Arcanist are constantly leaving corpses on the ground, which means if you cast an Unnerving Boneyard on one of those corpses that are left behind by one of those abilities, it's going to do 50% more damage than it normally does.
In addition, Unnerving Boneyard causes Major Breach to your enemies, reducing their Spell Resistance by 5948, which is a huge debuff.
Harness Magicka
Harness Magicka is an useful ability you can spam. It gives you a very large shield worth 50% of your Max Health, and you can spam this effectively.
Harness Magicka costs 4,268 Magicka, which means it is expensive, so don't spam it more than you need to. But this ability will save your life when you are in a pinch.
Spirit Guardian
Spirit Guardian is a massive heal that lasts 16 seconds and, every two seconds, it heals you for 4,000 health. In addition, any time this is active, you take 10% percent less damage, which is also a massive buff for your character.
Channeled Acceleration
Channeled Acceleration is a bit of a flex spot in this patch. When you are in a group setting, you won't need this buff because you'll be getting buffs from your Healers and Tanks, who are sending your damage through the roof. But while soloing, it's still very useful to have this ability because you will be going right up to the Critical Damage cap.
However, if you want to drop it and slot a DoT that will help with your sustain, feel free to go with an ability like Consuming Trap. Consuming Trap is a very heavy-hitting, single-target DoT, and it will also give you Stamina, Health, and a huge amount of Magicka back any time a target dies while this is on it.
Pestilent Colossus
For the back-bar Ultimate skill, you can use Pestilent Colossus. This is also a bit of a flex spot. You can use Pestilent Colossus if you really like it. But you don't have to because some other Ultimates will work and even do better when you solo. When soloing, you could use a skill such as Elemental Rage, which will do massive AoE damage in a large area over 7 seconds.
Rotation
• For this build, the spammable is Ricochet Skull.
• Stalking Blastbones > Spammable > Spammable > Stalking Blastbones > Spammable >Spammable
-repeat-
• Stalking Blastbones is your highest DPS skill, and you will want to cast it every time it's off cooldown, which means you are casting it every third ability.
• *You will replace the spammable (Ricochet Skull) with whichever DoT that is falling off at the time, but you will always cast Stalking Blastbones every third ability. If all DoTs are up, you cast Ricochet Skull between Stalking Blastbones.
• To improve your chances of living, keep all of your DoTs ticking. Due to the Ring of Pale Order, the life leech will keep you alive.
