Magicka Templar


Last updated: Update 48 - 12th January 2026

This build is capable of soloing every Veteran dungeon that doesn’t have a specific mechanic that requires multiple people. It’s also capable of soloing most Hard Mode dungeons, and with some adjustments even the more difficult ones.

The weight distribution of the setup from the table is 1 Heavy 5 Medium 1 Light so that you can start leveling up all your armor skill lines. Once you transition to Regular setup you'll be using 2 Medium 5 Light most of the time, switching to 1 Heavy 5 Medium 1 Light only against more difficult fights

The setup in the table uses only crafted gear, but if you already own parts of the Regular setup like Ring of the Pale Order you can start using them immediately


CHAMPION POINTS

Warfare

Fitness

ADDITIONAL INFO:


RACE

When it comes to solo PvE, you need both damage and survivability so pretty much all races have useful racials.

The best race for dealing damage is Khajiit. While the Critical Damage from Feline Ambush can sometimes be wasted due to Critical Damage being capped at 125%, it will never happen in solo content, because there will be no tanks or healers providing you with the Major Force buff.

The best race for survivability is Nord. The Rugged racial will provide around 6% damage mitigation.


MUNDUS

Most of the time you should use The Thief Mundus, which increases your Critical Chance.

For extremely difficult dungeons you should consider switching to The Lady Mundus, which increases your Armor.


ATTRIBUTES

HEALTH

0

STAMINA

0

MAGICKA

64

For most content you should put all 64 points into Magicka. For difficult content you should devote as many attribute points as necessary to Health - for some content you’ll be able to get away with 32 Health 32 Magicka, for the extremely difficult stuff you’ll need 64 Health.


FOOD

Your sustain can vary greatly because it's impacted by your armor weight composition, your race and how much blocking/dodge rolling you're required to do in a certain fight. Choose the food with more recoveries if you can't sustain


POTIONS

Use the Spell Power potions (Increase Spell Power, Spell Critical, Restore Magicka). They'll provide Major Sorcery and Major Prophecy which are crucial buffs. You can craft them by combiningLady's Smock,Namira's Rot andCorn Flower.


PARSE

57.4k on the 6mil dummy using Regular setup
