  • Hey Everyone!!! I hope you’ve been good because he’s made the list and he’s checked it twice, and if you were naughty this year you’ll be frozen in ICE!!
    I’m Ho-Ho-Hoping you all will enjoy this one as much as I do! I’m pleased to present The Santa Claus Build!!
    This build is INSANE as it is unfairly as powerful offensively as it is durable defensively. And you’ve never seen a build throw out so much CC to everything and everyone around like this one does. If you find yourself going up against this build you better be wearing your mythic “Snow Treaders” because if not, you’re done for.
    Check out this full in-depth video guide on how to bring this build to life from Gear, Skills, and even CP Distribution. As well as some live, in action PvP!!

    I've been watching some of your videos cuz I always enjoy them Ms Windows made me want to try something new or I switched out frostbite for frozen water and throw on the blood Lords embrace with a front bar Frozen Watcher staff and a back bar winterbourne staff likely on a Breton do possibly also on a Nord with the idea being that you just Perma block with full sturdy traits letting all the Slowdown and damage over time do its thing on its own probably with the one skill that possibly gives you minor berserk to kind of make up for not having frostbite at least a bit. Honestly I imagine it probably will be pretty fun build I'll get back to you on how well it goes

      @@AreaofEffect I’ve made note of the time stamps and will be putting that up soon. I will also create the build on UESPWiki. I don’t have your gaming skills, and often have to tweak the attributes, gear traits and the glyphs to get things to work better for me. I usually need more heath/armour/resistances in order to stay in the fight longer.

    Best intros in the ESO community, builds are always very creative can't wait to see what you have in store for us next in this new year! Hope we get a new class sometime this year, any speculations as to what it may be?

    • @AreaofEffect
      @AreaofEffect  2 роки тому +1

      Thank you for your support! And I would absolutely LOVE a new class. I’m not sure where to point my speculation… maybe something water and sea related? As far as classes go they’ve pretty much followed some basic elemental types so far. Sorcerer’s lightning, DK’s fire, Wardens ice, Templars light, Nightblades Darkness, and finally the Necromancers unique multi elemental set with conjuring and life stealing.
      So, with where the last couple of DLC’s have gone, and what they’ve been about, including new water based sets that have come out with them, I speculate we will get some sort of water based class. That is, IF we even get a class at all.

      Thanks! Honestly that would be far too detrimental to your bonus damage overall! You don’t want frostbite to toggle on and off.

    Would work well for PVE after changing traits to Divine? Same skills and such?

    • @AreaofEffect
      @AreaofEffect  2 роки тому +1

      Yes it would. VERY! Invest into more crit chance and crit damage and less into Stam/Stam recovery.

  • @eyezwideshut
    @eyezwideshut 2 роки тому +2

    Would you consider the traits optimal or should we change them if we can? And to what

    • @AreaofEffect
      @AreaofEffect  2 роки тому +1

      Good question! Very often my traits are not ALL optimal. This is due to the ever changing layout of each of my characters and optimization through farming or transmutes is very very costly and the farming slows down my build development progress. Especially when I work very hard to keep up with myself putting them out regularly!
      So- ideally in PvP Impen is a good choice. Also Divines is a favorite because of the ability to alter your Mundus (Boon) and allows some malleability on the fly. But sometimes on a sword/board you might want Sturdy. Or on a very fast and mobile dodge rolly build you might want well fitted.
      The only ones I really don’t like to use typically are invigorating, reinforced (on small pieces like belt & gloves), infused (on small glyph pieces like shoulders, belt, gloves, and boots), and obviously I hate Training. Avoid all of the above!
      I hope this helps!!

    • @eyezwideshut

      @@AreaofEffect yeah I burned through transmute crystals so fast. I often find it easier to collect the complete set and just make the traits I want. However it's hard to get the complete sets in arenas because you need to do a ton of runs. (Speaking of the winterborn set in this case.)
