Sorcerer question

thomasvaughn21_ESO

Is there any possible way to make a stamina sorc or even a hybrid sorc viable in pvp? I was thinking medium armor, bow and either DW or 2H. I feel like with lightening form, crit surge, bolt escape and maybe daedric surge it could be okay.. but all ive heard is negative things. Any insight would be great! Thanks!

It is possible but not the best like i use 2 swords but that is just to maximise my spell damage i havent heard about any success ull stamina sorc but it might be i have tried alittle but with no success .
But use an 2h or 2 1h weps and look at the spell damage i have 2700 ish spell damage atm and u can feel and see the power

Sure.
Though you will likely only use 2 actually Sorcerer abilities: Boundless Storm and Streak. Crit Surge kind of sucks and I can't think of a single ability it would be worth replacing.
2h bar - Crit Rush / Wrecking Blow / Executioner / Rally / Streak - Flawless Dawnbreaker
Bow bar - Snipe or Poison/Boundless Storm/Expert Hunter (whichever morph)/Shuffle/Vigor - Meteor (whichever morph) If you don't have Vigor (and I am pretty sure you don't) use something else, Degeneration is good for Might of the Guild procs from Mages Guild if you are good at weaving and bar swapping.

For gear there are obviously several options. You can go the regen route and get some Stam Regen for dodge rolling like Way of the Air mixed with Shadow Walker and Morag Tong or Hundings. Another option is the caltrops build with way of the air and ravager, but this is being nerfed and not worth grinding out. Either way to be a decent Stamina Sorc in PvP you will need to grind your ass off and unlock PvP skills and get gear with either gold or AP that's not cheap. Its an investment. Your PvE experience will not match your PvP. I also recommend the following races : Orc (best choice imo), Bosmer, Redguard, and Imperial.

With the upcoming patch v2.1, dual wield is more viable.
Rune Cage is instant cast so you can synergize that with Flurry from dual wield.
DW bar would be - Boundless Storm / Rune Cage / Flying Blade / Rapid Strikes / Streak - flawless dawnbreaker
your 2h bar would be a buff bar (rally vigor shuffle or evil hunter)with 1 or 2 offensive abilities and meteor ult.

Currently as a Stamina Sorcerer you will feel like a class neutral weapon spec. It can be fun though regardless, though not nearly as good as the other 3 classes.
