Top 5 sorcerers per faction EU PC (PvP only)

Aunatar · January 2016

Since we recently had a topic for DK's (http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/239968/top-5-dks-so-far-in-eso-pvp-only/p1) I want to do the same for our sorcerers, for EU PC only.

Leave your top 5 most skilled mages you have seen for every faction.

Rules:
-No Favoritism
-Give a reason for each player you choose
-The update(s) you think they were the best in
-Respect each other's opinions
-Don't copy others

Can't wait to see your opinions and the reasons you all picked them.

Aunatar · January 2016

I will start first, with no order on my choices!

AD:
-Malcom I: good player and nice person (1.6-1.7)
-Legendary mage: obvious choice, from the first time I met him in 1.5
-Dracane: I can't highlight enough how much I like a sorcerer(ess) who uses a pet build in open field, thumbs up. (1.6-1.7)
-Azharan: crazy stamina sustain and survivability
-Maulkin the golden: he is always a tough and long fight for me, but we don't meet so often in a 1v1 and usually ends in me or him being zerged by AD or EP

DC:
-Karras Nurillion: as always, @DariusIII is my first choice. Awesome and versatile player.
-Derra: another awesome sorcerer, one of my favourite ones. Always kind and ready to discuss about builds and stuff
I will leave 3d, 4th and 5th places empty, because I can't really choose between the other sorcs that I know.

EP:
-@Pancakeman450 aka Puncakeman: hands down, the best sorc playing on PC EU in my opinion, without a single doubt.
We've been playing together since 1.6, but he demonstrated to be the best in 1.7, always according to my opinion.
- @ToRelax aka Elo'dryel: another good and versatile sorcerer, very well known in this forum (1.7)
- @Exigo: the best AP leecher of the month! Apart from jokes, he's become better and better from 1.6 and now he's showing his best
I am not sure about 4th and 5th then I'm just going to name some of the good sorcs I've seen so far:
Skumlingen (friend and favourite 2vX mate), Kimo (awesome in small scale, especially in leading), DeSorka and his ground oils, Norrix, Dalfish and Kung Powder my guildmate!

Hoping that I didn't forget anybody, remember these are my personal choices and I haven't played my sorcerer for a while (my main has been my DK since mid 1.6) I might haven't faced or played with some of the best sorcs!
Show me your choices now

DC:
1- I hate to have to give it to him but, Derra. - one of the best sorcs to ever play with and if I had to choose someone to come with me it would be him due to his OP healing wards and knowledge of the game in general. IMO best sorc in he game atm
2-Sexy Hexy (@hexiss) - known him for a while now and he's proved time and time again that he is one of the best sorcs and gives me a very hard time when fighting him on my NB!
3-Advexus Artus (@starkas)- I think personally he is one of the strongest sorcs in the game atm and is really playing well with the 2h sword instead of the usual duel wield and staff sorcs these days, also can only take him down in a duel with WW which makes me sad

4-I also hate to say this because it's fluff but I have to give it to him. The Wise Mage (1.6) was I think the strongest sorc in the game (cough 7 mundus cough) but in all seriousness he would destroy almost anyone who crossed his path in that patch and I even heard people used to call out where he was in zone if they found him

5-Seventh Jaff- crazy respect for him due to his willingness to continue to small scale even when the current patch completely goes against it and his builds are very unique and interesting. Overall strong sorc and gives a good duel!

(I would like to note I wanted to put Karras in but he doesn't play sorc anymore and went to EP so this is his punishment)

AD:
1-Jo Khalijor- best stam sorc I've ever came across and fought
2-Frostsoul - doesn't play much anymore but when he did he was the one sorc I never wanted to fight lol shame he doesn't play anymore but I can understand why he doesn't

3-Legendary Mage- overall very strong player and nice guy
4-Maulkin The Golden - strong player and knows the sorc class very well
5-Initiation- strong player overall and used to give a good fight, not seen him much anymore recently though

EP:
1-Elo'dryel - So much respect for Elo even from the day I came across him in cyro and he is probably one of the most respectful players in game and very strong on the sorc as a whole. Will never get tired of pulling out my /sitchair and watching him slaughter people!
2-Norrix- always struggled to beat Norrix and has proven his duelling capabilities over and over
3-Exigo- don't know much about him tbh but beat me in a duel before and seems to know his stuff!
4- pancakeman- not really had much of an encounter with him but I've seen him around and usually being chased by a lot of players lol
I literally cannot think of anymore atm but when I do I will edit and finish the EP top 5

I realise I wrote more about DC but that's from playing with them all!

Erondil · January 2016

My top (not in order, cant choose 5 in that sorry):
-Derra (DC): Definitely one of the best solo/smallscale player still around, if not the best
-Jo Khalijor(AD): op stamcat
-Norrix (EP): our duels are always tough + he got crazy build ideas
-Elodryel (EP) awesome to duel him aswell as watch him pulling of crazy 1vX
-Frostsoul (AD): yeah well frost always been op
-Hexys (DC): Pvping only since 1.6, hexys improved a lot and is definitely one of the tougher opponent in 1v1 right now
-Legendary Shey (DC): whatever he did lately, shey improved his 1v1 skills since 1.7 and is now really hard to fight. Gotta give him credit where he deserves
-Celanir Jovre (AD): crazy good solo/smallscale player, eventhough he hasnt been plaing his sorc for a while, he deserves to be here

Also zzor, frost is a doctor noob now so he got no time to play (at least its what he says) and Ini is playing other chars since his sorc is ar 50

You really couldn't wait for this thread, aye Aunatar?

So, I'll try to list my 5 favourites and then add a list of more great Sorcs. I will list only players I know as Sorcs, wich also means I exclude players I listed as DKs before.

Legendary Mage - has been the best Sorc in duels since I first met him at the start of 1.3.
Karras Nurillion - always running original builds, seems to love Soul Assault like I love Shooting Star.
Derra - very knowledgeable and fair player, a very good teamplayer I from what I saw.
Celanir Jovre - nasty damage. nastier than the rest that is.
Jo'Khaljior - because he killed me with a stam sorc

and then its...

Tuvi
Alesie
Rubeus Farron
Metalxead
Hexys
Greif
Koma Grey
Frostsoul
King of Doriath (Dodge)
Pancakeman
Norrix

I *think* there is a small gap to the rest here... think of it as the top16 then.

Indeed! Btw, even if some names were obvious to me, it was hard for me too to choose my top 5 because there is a big gap between average sorcs and good ones, but a very tiny gap between these last ones.

Etaniel · January 2016

Hard to stay with only 5...
But here goes :

Derra - Strong team player, very knowledgeable about the game and a strong group leader as well. Overall a stronk sorc

Celanir Jovre - Always gave me trouble when I met him in Cyro, would usually take out my dk at every encounter

Hexys - Didn't think too much of him at first, but he's grown into a beast 1vXer and excellent duellist, fast progression too, gz!

Elo'dryel - Always recognizable in his small EP group, respected enemy

The Wise Mage - That name generated a lot of fear/hate in the AD and EP zonechats in 1.6 !

honourable mention for my boy Bald Mage

Overall sorcerers:

#1 - Scarlet (Currently best sorcerer on eso EU, #1 duelist and top-tier 1vX player)
#2 - Fluff / The Wise Mage (Top 0.01% player, good strategist and a very tactical player. Never makes bad decisions and eats scrubs for breakfast)
#3 - Legendary Mage (One of the best duelists in eso, isn't really playing anymore to hone his skills, but he's always managed to stay in the top 0.1%)
#4 - Frostsoul (Has proven over and over to be one of the most dominating sorcerers on EU)
#5 - Hexys (Insanely good duelist and 1vX/smallscale player. Rarely makes poor decisions and hexploiter)

@ToRelax RIP Metalxead T.T
At least he never had to endure the pain of 1.6 destroying his build (RIP hybrids as well)

Sheey · January 2016

DC

Hexys, crazy guy - saw all of his pvp 1v1 youtube vids. I love his tangling webs

Lotus'Pearl, always in small pvp groups and very skilly tanky beast.
Alesie, great sorcerer, he just outmatch every enemy near to him. He rages about Shildbreaker and Camo.
Master Kain, great sustain, he is staying lots of times in large enemy groups and still survives.
Schwarzer-Magier the best AoE-Bomb Sorc with Bats beside Frostsoul.

AD
Frostsoul , in the last patches he was my nightmare. Huge Skills with Emperor and Bats.
Legendary Mage, He's playing really strong. Could beat him with 350 CP but dont think with 500.
Cosmic Elf, He was in the last patches he knows how to pvp.
Initiation, In the early Patches, he was a freaky zerger with shido train. After Shido left, he went to 1vX and 1v1 battles and earns a lot of respect. Hard to kill now.
Malcorm I, no way to go through his shilds, he survives almost everything.

EP
Elo'dryel, 1.5-1-6 was his patch, whole factions chased him through the keeps. It seems like noone can kill him.
Punkakeman, Defenetly an elite EP-Player on Sorcerer. When you see him - you are dead.
Norrix, I tried, but I NEVER EVER could kill him. he's a beast.
Scarlet Never really knew him but he duels a lot, and kills alot.

I tried it few months ago.
