Notes
Off Tank Gear
It’s still being testing to determine the most optimal gear for this trial but this setup will be great in the early days of the trial.
Class
Necromancer would be ideal for Off Tank here for optimisation but you can use any class.
Race
Pretty much any race is playable here. Imperial is a great choice and then Redguard works well for Necros especially. You could also use Nord for Resistances.
Mundus
The best Mundus Stone to use here is: The Atronach for the extra Magicka Recovery.
Attributes
Typically 64 Health works best for this trial but it’s up to you to use whatever you need to survive and sustain.
Food
As standard we use the Bewitched Sugar Skulls which gives us Max Health, Magicka and Stamina plus more Health Recovery.
Potions
You can use regular Tri-Stat potions here, there are no special requirements.
