Monster set: Valkyn Skoria - Divines - Magicka enchant (Medium/Heavy)

Notes:

• I use false god (non-perfected), because it's wonderfull in vma. The fifth piece bonus reduces your magicka skill's cost by 8% and you get magicka resources back  and a sprint boost every time you kill an enemy.
• If you have enough transmute stones, you can change the traits on your jewelery to bloodthirsty and change mundus to the ritual for the extra magicka recovery.
• I use lighting on backbar, for the extra aoe damage. You'll spend more time fighting ads then bosses anyway. So the damage boost is welcome!
• If you die too quickly, try switching out the magicka enchant on one of your big pieces (chest/legs/head) to tri-stat.
• One big piece on infused with tri-stat works also

General Info

Food/Drink: Witchmother's potent brew 
Mundus: Apprentice (Increased spell damage)
Potions: Essence of spell critical (health + magicka + spell crit) and at the argonian and last stage you might need tri-stat pots to get stamina back.

Rotation:
Need to be up most of the time:
Channeled Acceleration < Rune < Ritual < Blockade < Spear
In case of melee, use sweeps, when in range go for crushing shock and heavy attacks on backbar
When possible, try to keep up your shield.

Notes:

• In case you are gonna use this set up for veteran dlc, you might have to do the following changes on your skill set up:
  • Swap Honor the dead with Harness magicka (from your front bar)
  • And Radiant Oppression on the previous slot of Harness magicka (4th skill front bar)
  • Depending on the fight (if you go more in melee than range), swap crushing shock with solar barrage
