I have a stamina build i am willing to share for 1.6. You have the burst and the tankiness, its a perfect mix of both.

2 Hand:
1. Crit Rush
2. Burning Breath
3. Unstable Flame
4. Executioner
5. Rally
ULT. Soul Assult (up to you though)

1h and Shield:
1. Puncture
2. Invasion (its your choice really of this skill)
3. Hardened Armour
4. Igenous Shield
5. Green Dragon Blood
ULT. Ferocious Leap

IMPORTANT:
This is where the build works. You need the 5 set Undaunted Bastion in medium armour.

So basically you pop hardened armour, rally, crit rush/invasion, burning breath, unstable flame, heavy attack (while you walk back so you can crit rush in).

The build works because the dots are so powerful. You will get well over 12k dmg just from dots in those 10 secs. The crit rush hits hard aswell.

Remember to have a stun of some sort and keep stunning them to drain their stam.

If you are getting really low on health, swap to 1h and shield bar, use puncture (12.5k+ shield), igenous (9-10k shield), GDB.

So just keep your buffs up, only use magicka to heal/shield up. Use leap only if your low on resources and cant heal. Make sure dots are up on them 100% of time so you can keep good dmg even if your defending.

Only people i have lost to in duels are crushing shock full magicka sorcs. And only the really good ones. And a couple of other people with builds that were unusual and i didnt know how to play them. Its a simple yet very powerful build. Let me know if you need anymore explaining.

Good luck in 1.6!

I've got the armor, should be fun. For a stun are you thinking like stone fist?

How come your build does not include neither "Talons" or "Reflective Scales"...

Aren't these two a must for pvp?

Moreover, you have two distance closers...

I am not a pvp guy myself but would like to know your reasoning... trying to learn and not to critic.

Cheers

I use invasion because 1. its stamina based (costs around 1.9k stam which is the highest costing ability you have) 2. It can stun for a really long time if you get max distance 3. Its a gap closer

This build is more suited for duels/1v2, 3 max. I dont use talons and scales because this is a stamina build. Talons/scales costs around 3.5-4k magicka. With this build you have only around 13k magicka which is just enough to apply hardened + ig + GDB. you will lose all your magicka with those 3 moves so you need to save it for defense. If i was a magicka light armour build, i would include talons (maybe scales if i really felt it necessary) but with light armour being squishy as it is, i wont be doing that :P

As for the 2 gap closers. Invasion isnt a must, but having some form of hard CC is. If i was to duel a sorc, i might swap out invasion for defensive posture because i know i will be stunning them from reflecting frags or crushing shock or something.

Ok m8, thx for the clarification.

I will keep your build in mind, come 1.6 (when I decide to pvp that is )
