ESO: Magicka Necromancer DPS Leveling Build Guide

The Necromancer represents the most recent class addition to The Elder Scrolls Online, debuting with the Elsweyr expansion. For players who only own the base game, you have two acquisition options: purchasing the class directly from the Crown Store or arranging a gold transaction with other players. This class specializes primarily in damage dealing capabilites, with numerous abilities featuring both Magicka and Stamina morph variations to accommodate diverse playstyles. This particular build serves as an adaptable framework rather than a rigid prescription, allowing for personal customization as you progress.

Necromantic practices remain controversial throughout Tamriel, so exercise caution when employing certain skills near Justice NPCs to avoid acquiring bounties and becoming attack on sight targets. These problematic abilities are clearly identified within their respective tooltips. When properly constructed, the Necromancer enables straightforward and potent builds that significantly streamline the leveling journey. Additionally, affordable ESO Power Leveling services exist for those wishing to bypass the grind and immediately access their preferred game content. 

Race

·High Elf

·Breton

·Dark Elf

·Khajiit

Gear

·5 light

·1 medium

·1 heavy

·Destruction Staffs (Dual) OR Destro/SnB or Resto for PvP

Note that the gear weight distribution serves as a guideline rather than an absolute requirement during leveling. As you acquire superior equipment pieces throughout your progression, feel empowered to substitute them accordingly (while maintaining predominance of your primary gear weight category).

Attributes: All in magicka

Vampire vs Werewolf vs Mortal

Vampire or Mortal: Vampirism offers substantial benefits through additional magicka recovery when needed, though this comes with significant vulnerability to fire damage, particularly in PvP environments. If your build would benefit from the extra 10% magicka recovery provided by vampiric passives, then embracing vampirism becomes a viable option. Conversely, if your sustain proves adequate or PvP constitutes your primary focus, remaining mortal may represent the preferable choice.

Mundus: Apprentice

Potions and Food

Potions: Magicka

Food: While not essential, if accessible, prioritize consumables that enhance your health, magicka pool, and/or magicka recovery rates.

Abilities

You’ll want to do your best to have one ability from each class tree on both your front and back bar. When you get XP, whether it be from killing monsters or quests, the abilities on your active bar are the ones that get XP as well as their respective skill lines.

If you have abilities on a skill bar you want to level up, you can switch to that bar when handing in a quest or completing a dungeon to give them and their skill lines a surge of experience. You will notice I frequently recommend the first skill of a skill tree as a choice just to help you start getting that skill line leveled. If you want to level another weapon or skill tree without using that weapon or skill, simply placing a skill from that tree on your ability bar helps it get XP when you gain experience on that bar. You don’t have to use it!

Rotation

1. Try to use any abilities that give you a buff first so they make any abilities you use afterwards stronger or help you stay alive longer.

2. You optimally want to use any dots in your build first, so use each dot you have on your enemies, weaving a light attack in between each of them.

3. You should have one spammable ability in your build to use when all your dots are up and you don’t need to buff yourself. If you don’t want a spammable skill, heavy attacks will be your spammable.

4. Use any CC, shields, and heals as needed. You want to optimally make sure you have a few of these at your disposal when making a build for general playing.
