ESO One Bar PvP Magicka Warden Build

Table of Contents

Last Updated: 2022-09-04

This ESO One Bar PvP Magicka Warden Build is ideal for players looking for survivability, sustainability, mobility, group utility and damage.  The Magden specifically does very well with high health build due to the scaling of your heal. It balances good solo and group buffs with defensives to be hard to take down.  You can provide good off healing with a variety of weapon choices including sword and shield.

If you’re looking for a group PvE dps build click HERE, healer PvP build HERE or a two bar PvP build HERE.  Also, consider watching me on Twitch where you can ask me questions about my current builds.

Pros

  • Great burst damage
  • Mobility for Magicka Class
  • Good group utility

Cons

  • Lacks Identity
  • Uses High HP, low offensive stat

Skills

Front Bar Lightning Staff

Front Bar Weapon Options

  • Lightning Staff: provides easy fully charged heavy attacks for resource sustain and AoE damage when channeling.
  • Fire Staff: most single target damage and pairs well with elemental users.
  • Dual Wield: highest DPS but without a second bar can be brutal to sustain.

Deep Fissure (Morph of Scorch | Skill line: Animal Companions) - massive damage single target and AoE , keep up at all times.

Blue Betty (Morph of Betty Netch | Skill line: Animal Companions) - Spell damage buff, healing though watch out for plaguebreak. Slot flare on back bar if you want more mitigation.

Living Trellis (Morph of Living Vines | Skill line: Green Balance) - Great heal and sustain tool via the passives.

Force Pulse (Morph of Force shock | Skill line: Destruction Staff) - Main spammable that does some AoE damage. Screaming Cliff racer is also good, crushing shock for interrupt, but all around this does a lot of things well.

Arctic Blast (Morph of Artic Wind | Skill line: Winters Embrace) - magicka based heal which can also stun enemies.

Eternal Guardian (Morph of Feral Guardian | Skill line: Animal Companions) - this ultimate does absolutely incredible damage. I can hit 87,000 critical strikes sub 20% health on bosses due to it attacking like an execute. You’ll treat this ability like another attack because it’s ultimate cost of 75 is so low. Keep in mind to recast your bear if it dies or goes away. It will also stun enemies and attack as a decoy and I prefer this over any other ultimate of choice due to the reason above.
