How Strong are the Arcanist Ultimates in ESO Necrom?
Today we'll show the three new Ultimate abilities coming with the Arcanist class in ESO Necrom.
Like all classes, the Arcanist has three skill lines, each one including an Ultimate ability that has a basic version and two morphs.
The Unblinking Eye Ultimate
The Unblinking Eye is the ultimate ability in the Herald of the Tome skill line, the DPS focused skill line of the Arcanist Class. This ultimate summons a Watcher above your head that will deal heavy damage in a small AOE with its beam attack. Its two morphs are The Languid Eye and The Tide King's Gaze.
The Languid Eye is the strongest morph in terms of its damage output - while it has a shorter duration than the other morph, this is more than made up for because its damage value increases 7% each tick (it ticks every 0.5 seconds for 6 seconds).
The total damage output from this skill is quite similar to Elemental Storm, a commonly used ultimate for DPS characters. It also costs less ultimate to cast, 200 instead of 250, however the radius is smaller. So using this as your main DPS ultimate is definitely viable.
On the other hand, The Tide King's Gaze deals less damage but lasts for 8 seconds instead of 6, and it also automatically follows your target wherever they go, rather than needing to be manually retargeted. This makes it more suited to PvP situations as it prevents your opponent from avoiding the damage.
Gibbering Shield
Gibbering Shield is the Apocryphal Soldier ultimate, and like the entire skill line it is focused on mitigating damage, making it ideal for a tank. This skill gives you a strong health-scaled damage shield for 10 seconds, which will reflect all absorbed damage to nearby enemies as an AOE DoT when it expires or is broken. This damage reflection is spread out over another 10 seconds.
The first morph of this ultimate is Gibbering Shelter, which removes the damage reflection but instead grants up to six allies a fairly strong damage shield whenever your shield absorbs damage. This is definitely the best option if you're tanking a dungeon or trial with a group, the shields you give to your allies will help to keep them alive during tough parts of the fight. However you honestly might be better off just using Barrier if you want a good shield ultimate for your team.
The other morph is Sanctum of the Abyssal Sea which just gives you a somewhat stronger shield compared to the unmorphed version, which also has the side-effect of slightly increasing the amount of damage you can reflect. While this damage reflection might sound good on paper, it's generally not that helpful in PvE
, and in PvP opponents can pretty easily move away from you to avoid the damage.
This skill is a nice idea on paper but in most situations it really doesn't feel strong enough to compete with existing skills.
Vitalizing Glyphic
Vitalizing Glyphic is the ultimate from the Curative Runeforms skill line, focused on healing and buffing yourself and allies. It's a pretty unusual skill in terms of how it works - it summons a glyphic which pulses every second, healing nearby friends and increasing their weapon & spell damage. Healing the Glyphic increases the effect.
Glyphic of the Tides is the first morph of this skill, which just causes the Glyphic to spawn at a higher health percentage than the original. Healing the glyphic isn't that hard so this is only a minor buff. The skill's effect in general though is pretty interesting - having an Arcanist in your group drop this into the group gives us another new way to buff the damage output of DPS players, which basically gives us another skill to use in optimized raids besides Aggressive Horn and Frozen Colossus. Arcanist healers definitely have something new to bring to the table thanks to this ultimate, and that's great.
The other morph, Resonating Glyphic, has the same effect but instead gets stronger the lower its health is. This might be preferred if you don't have a healer in your group or if you're playing solo - you can pretty easily get the Glyphic down to 0% health with some AOE effects, which will maximise the effect of the buff and heal.
This ultimate is definitely going to bring something new to the table for optimised groups in PvE, and probably PvP too. It will be interesting to see if this finds a place in the meta or if it will just be an interesting off-meta option.

Elder Scrolls Online Heavy ...
Since Elder Scrolls Online changed the update mode of the past annual chapters to the season system, its first official season, Seasons of the Worm Cult, has been launched on PC/Mac on June 2, 2025, and will be launched on Xbox & PlayStation series on the 18th. The opening of the new season means that you will be able to play more new content and learn more about new plots. At the same time, the game’s update 46 was also launched with the season, and many adjustments were made to the inherent mechanism. Among the many changes brought by update 46, subclass is undoubtedly worth experiencing-in fact, many MMORPGs have similar functions, which is enough to prove its indispensability. The emergence of subclass has greatly enriched the playability of each class and the possibility of craftable builds. Based on this, we will introduce you to Heavy Attack Subclass Sorcerer Build. Features Of Subclass The main function of this mechanism is to allow you to merge the skill lines of other classes with the skill lines of the class you are currently experiencing, so that you can get a more diverse career experience without changing classes. This greatly increases the freedom of gameplay, the possibility and strength of your craft builds have been increased, and the efficiency of completing new season tasks and farming Elder Scrolls Online gold has been increased. It is worth noting that if you want to unlock this feature after Update 46 and Seasons of the Worm Cult are launched, you need to make your character reach level 50. After that, you need double skill points to unlock and upgrade the skills of other classes. Skills Corresponding To This Build There is no doubt that this build is first based on Sorcerer class craft. This class can summon and control weather phenomena, such as shooting lightning or creating tornadoes and fog; in addition, it can summon Storm Atronachs and magical armor through Daedric forces. On this basis, you can continue to focus on one skill line, or you can distribute points to a total of 3 skill lines-the emergence of subclass further enriches this mechanism. Heavy Attack Subclass Sorcerer Build works by combining Sorcerer’s Storm Calling & Daedric Summoning and Nightblade’s Assassination skill lines. The skills they include are: Storm Calling Overload Mage’s Fury Lightning Form Lightning Splash Surge Bolt Escape Capacitor Energized Amplitude Expert Mage Daedric Summoning Summon Storm Atronach Unstable Familiar Daedric Curse Summon Winged Twilight Conjured Ward Bound Armor Rebate Power Stone Daedric Protection Expert Summoner Assassination Death Stroke Assassin’s Blade Teleport Strike Blur Mark Target Grim Focus Master Assassin Executioner Pressure Points Hemorrhage Compared to the original third skill line of Sorcerer, Dark Magic, Nightblade’s Assassination can make Sorcerer and the entire Heavy Attack Subclass Sorcerer Build more efficient. Specific Class Skill Selection Since skill unlocking and upgrading requires skill points, in order to maximize the effect of points, you need to choose the part of the above available skills that can better cooperate with each other. The first one worth highlighting is Power Stone passive, which can reduce the resource consumption of your ultimate skill to increase DPS, and also increase shock damage by 5%. The second is Power Overload, one of the ultimate skills Overload Morph, which can charge your fist with the power of the storm, turning your light attack into lightning to deal 1245 points of shock damage to enemies within a range of up to 32 meters, and heavy attacks can cause 1120 points of shock damage to enemies within a range of 6 x 8. Summon Twilight Matriarch is a skill from Daedric Summoning that allows you to summon Azura to send a twilight tormentor to help you. The twilight tormentor’s electric shock can cause 478 shock damage, and the kick can cause 478 shock damage. Guild Skill Selection In addition to the class skills based on the three skill lines, you can also add mage guild skills to this build as a Sorcerer. The higher your guild level, the more skills you can unlock (up to level 10). The main ones suitable for this build are: Might of the Guild: Whenever you cast it, there is a chance to gain Reinforcement, and increase the critical damage you deal to monsters for 10 seconds. Scalding Rune: When triggered, this rune will cause 2323 fire damage to all enemies in the target area, and an additional 2871 fire damage over 22 seconds. In addition, it can continue to cause additional damage over time. The above are just the skills of this build. If you want to further enhance its power, you need to farm more gear and other available items, such as potions, which can bring you additional benefits. If you are a Xbox & PlayStation user, there are still a few days before the official launch of the game, and you can learn more subclass content based on this guide! I wish you success!Jun-11-2025

Elder Scrolls Online Lep Se ...
Seeking breakthroughs should be something that any MMORPG that wants to persist in operation must do. Even if the current game development trend is good, it will soon be eliminated by other competitors without maintenance and updates. That is why, in the current prosperous game market, the classic MMORPG Elder Scrolls Online follows the rules and trends and ushered in a new era of its own in 2025. As the first year after the game held its 10th anniversary event, 2025 has naturally become the best time node for ESO developers to implement various new plans. In fact, at the end of last year, the game gradually announced a number of new plans, such as the game update mode changed from a major annual update to a new season every few months, and the plan will be implemented through the launch of update 45 and the new DLC Fallen Banners. As time goes by, three or four days ago on March 10th, you can finally start to experience update 45 and the new DLC in ESO first through the PC/Mac platform (Xbox and PlayStation login will have to wait until March 26th). It is worth noting that update 45 is free for all subscribed players, but the new DLC has changed the old mechanism and needs to be obtained separately. Therefore, in order to help you consider whether to experience this DLC, we will focus on introducing you to the overview of the two dungeons in it. DLC Fallen Banners Overview The two new PVE dungeons in Fallen Banners DLC are Lep Seclusa and Exiled Redoubt. Although their exclusive plots are different, they have something in common: they will reward you with ESO Gold or other items necessary for playing the game after you complete the relevant tasks. Generally speaking, as long as you are a subscriber to Elder Scrolls Online, you can enjoy all DLC for free before, but perhaps due to the chain reaction caused by changes in the seasonal update mechanism and other aspects, you must currently have an ESO Plus membership to access the dungeons in Fallen Banners. Or you can just wait and see until the developers reveal other ways to get the DLC during ESO Direct on April 10. Dungeon 1 Lep Seclusa Most PVE dungeons in RPGs have a storyline all their own, and Lep Seclusa is no exception. It’s actually home to a little-known group of Redguard monks called Hel Netu, who have long been dedicated to erasing any knowledge of Hel Netu from the rest of Tamriel, making Lep Seclusa the perfect place to hide Elder Scrolls. It’s a method that worked for a long time, as Tamriel all but forgot about Lep Seclusa, Hel Netu, and the mysterious scrolls they held. But as you might guess, there are no secrets that last forever. As the dungeon content unfolds, Orpheon the Tactician and his deserter army have somehow learned about Lep Seclusa, and they believe that the prophecy on the scroll hidden here is the key to their control of Ruby Throne and the empire, so they will use all means to obtain the scroll, and what you have to do is to stop Orpheon and his army when they attack and defend Lep Seclusa with Moth Priests together. Dungeon 2 Exiled Redoubt Unlike Lep Seclusa’s own mysterious story, the relevant plot of Exiled Redoubt is much simpler and the difficulty level will be more friendly. Exiled Redoubt is the underground fortress of a former noble Cato Albus in ESO. He seems to be planning some ulterior conspiracy here, because the plot will tell you that many Alliance War veterans have disappeared here. What you have to do next is to fight in the dungeon with Battlemage Lucilla while investigating, find out the reason for the disappearance of veterans, and crush Cato Albus’s plan. After completing the dungeon, you will receive gold, unique dye, a monster mask, and three armor sets for each class of equipment as rewards. Don’t Miss ESO Direct! In order to let players know the next plan of the game in 2025, as well as the effects and feedback of the recent update rhythm and content changes, Elder Scrolls Online plans to hold an ESO Direct starting at 3:00 pm on Thursday, April 10. The reason why you are recommended not to miss this Direct and related programs is that on the one hand, it should reveal more new information about Fallen Banners DLC, as well as some content related to update 46; on the other hand, after watching the Direct and the program, you will have the opportunity to get Twitch Drops, including 150% XP scrolls for watching the live broadcast for 15 minutes and Skill Respecification scrolls for watching the program for 30 minutes. In addition, the one-year ESO 10th anniversary celebration, which started in April last year, has not yet ended, so the event will announce the bonus code set in this live broadcast, which you can use to redeem the 10th anniversary exclusive monkey pet in the game! In short, whether you are a new or old player of ESO, 2025 is definitely the year you should pay the most attention and energy to the game. I hope you can have a great gaming experience!Mar-13-2025

Elder Scrolls Online Pan-Ta ...
To celebrate Elder Scrolls Online’s 10th anniversary, the developers are launching a brand new event, Pan-Tamriel Celebration Event, which is also the first event available after entering 2025. The event has started at 10 am EST on January 23, 2025, and will last until February 4, 2025 at 10 am EST. During the event, it will be held in all areas of Tamriel! You don’t need to own any specific Chapters or DLC to participate in the event, but there are some returning collectibles that you can only get from the Impresario’s Assistant in certain DLC areas. Please come with us and enter this new event! Event Boosts In addition to the usual reward boxes, Pan-Tamriel Celebration Event offers players some great boosts, including a higher chance to get Antiquity Leads, Furnishings, and other valuables by digging in Treasure Maps. Additionally, fishing drops are carefully curated. As long as you fish the right type of hole in the right area, you’re guaranteed to get a previously uncollected Trophy Fish to complete your unfinished achievement. Finally, there’s a 100% XP boost that’s automatically applied throughout the event and can be stacked with other XP boosts. Reward Boxes Now, let’s get to those reward boxes! You can get reward boxes by killing all of the different boss monsters found throughout Tamriel. On land, there’s a chance that event boxes will drop from defeating World Bosses, Delve Bosses, Public Dungeon Bosses, and completing Incursions. Note, however, that Dolmens’ drops are from bosses, so you’ll need to be in the top 12 in terms of damage to get them, so areas like Alik’r Desert are not recommended. There’s also a cooldown between box drops from each character, so keep that in mind if you’re farming bosses back-to-back. If you’re looking for the fastest way to farm, you’ll most likely want to turn to other characters and switch between them as they take on different public dungeon bosses. For more challenging content, the final bosses in Trials, Dungeons, Arenas, and Tho’at Replicanum in the Infinite Archive all drop event boxes. But again, box drops only come from final bosses. The first box you get each day will be a gold box, which you’ll get when you open it, giving you the new, very stylish Lion Guard Captain Outfit Style Pages. In addition to your gold box, you’ll also get 3 Event Tickets (39 total during the event). You can only claim the gold box and tickets once per account per day, and the next drop of the day will be a purple box. Purple boxes mostly only contain crafting materials, but they also have a slight chance to drop ESO Gold and other items, in addition to new Style Pages. However, these purple boxes also have a chance to drop random Style Pages from the previous expansion celebration. Event Merchants Impresario’s Assistant During the event, Impresario’s Assistant will also carry these Style Pages, as well as a few other returning collectibles, but his inventory will depend on the zone you’re in when you talk to him. Morrowind: Doctrine Ordinator Style Pages, Slag Town Diver skin, Memento, and fragments from Fabricant Pet. Summerset: Evergloam Champion Style and Snowhawk Mage Outfit Style Pages, Wooden Grave-Stake Memento fragments, and Gloam Gryphon Fledgeling Pet. Northern Elsweyr: Claw-Dance Acolyte Style and Ja’zennji Siir Outfit Style Pages. Western Skyrim: Saarthal Scholar Style and Sovngarde Stalwart Style. High Isle: Oaken Order Outfit Style. Necrom: Apocrypha Expedition Outfit Style. Blackwood: Y’ffre’s Fallen-Wood Style, and pieces for a pet. In all locations, Impresario’s Assistant will also carry fragments of 2 Morphing Pets from years past, as well as 2 really awesome Morphs, Hourglass, which lets you change the time inside a house when placed, and Doomchar Plateau! Indrik Vendor Indrik Vendor will have 2 returning Indrik Morphs and fragments for 2 pets. But as if her assistants didn’t already have so much to spend money on. Impresario only carries the new Lion Guard Captain Outfit Style Pages, 3 fragments of this year’s new Morphing Pets, and the first Morphing fragments for the new Rune Extraction animation. If you were a player during last year’s Anniversary Event, you may remember the replicas she carried. Thankfully, this year, their drop rates can be increased based on other achievements you may have unlocked, but the Impresario will also be selling them for 10 tickets each. So if you’re sad about not unlocking these collectibles last year, don’t automatically jump to spending your tickets. Remember that these Style Pages are bound! If you get the corresponding replicas, their chances of dropping will increase again as you explore Tamriel. So if you’re a bit strapped for Event Tickets, give this a try. However, you can also try participating in the occasional giveaways in iGMeet Discord, where you may be able to score some of the collectibles you’ve been looking for! That’s everything you need to know about ESO Pan-Tamriel Celebration Event 2025! Whether you’re farming for those fishing achievements, treasure map clues, or bosses, hopefully everyone can enjoy such a lucrative event!Jan-26-2025

How To Unlock Legerdemain S ...
Legerdemain is a skill line you can unlock in ESO that has some handy passives, especially if you like sneaking around and stealing things. It’s an easy one to unlock and you may have already unlocked it without noticing. You will find the Legerdemain skill line in the world category. And if it’s not there, then all you need to do is pick a lock or pickpocket someone and it should pop up. This article will specifically introduce how to unlock Legerdemain Skill Line in Elder Scrolls Online in detail. 1. Unlocking Legerdemain: - Look for the Legerdemain skill line in the world category. If it's not there, pick a lock or pickpocket someone to trigger its appearance. 2. Leveling Legerdemain: - Lockpicking: Engage in lockpicking activities such as chests, houses, and lockboxes. Higher difficulty locks yield more points. Be cautious when stealing from houses, as it may result in a bounty and trouble with guards. - Pickpocketing: Sneak behind NPCs and press 'E' to pickpocket them. Harder targets grant more points. Be aware that getting caught will lead to a bounty and guards pursuing you. - Stealing & The Fence: Steal items to be sold or laundered at a fence. Take stolen items to a fence to sell them or launder them if you wish to keep them. Each sold or laundered item earns one point. Note that there are daily limits on selling and laundering items, so leveling this skill line may take some time. Invest skill points into the Trafficker passive to increase the number of fence interactions per day. 3. Daily Legerdemain Routine: - Visit the docks in Daggerfall, Glenumbra, and loot both ships. This should provide you with enough items to sell or launder. The fence is conveniently located nearby, making it an ideal spot for leveling Legerdemain. This routine also helps you avoid dealing with guards and breaking into people's houses. 4. Bounties: - If you acquire a bounty, you can go to the Fence to pay it off. Bounties are acquired by committing crimes and are measured in ESO Gold. The size of your bounty depends on the severity of the crime. - Guards will approach you to collect the bounty whenever you pass by. You can choose to pay the bounty, which will remove stolen items from your inventory. If you don't pay, guards will attack you until you escape or are defeated. The infamy meter indicates your current status. - Bounties can also be cleared using Edicts obtained from certain quests and daily login rewards. Save them for when you have a significant bounty that you don't want to wait to clear. 5. Thieves Guild: - Consider joining the Thieves Guild as it complements Legerdemain. Allocate skill points to skills like haggling, which increases the amount of money you receive for items sold at the fence. The Thieves Guild offers other passive skills that can be useful when dealing with guards. Remember to exercise caution while engaging in illegal activities and avoid getting caught. Have fun exploring the criminal side of Elder Scrolls Online with the Legerdemain skill line!Jun-19-2023
