Attention all Magicka Sorcs: Would you rather?

Xqluded

Would you rather have Atronach Mundus with 3100 Spell Power and 1600 regen

OR

Woukd you rather have Apprentice Mundus with 3600 Spell power and 1100 regen

I just did a 1v5. Killed them all but just barely scraped by thanks to a tri potion saving my Magicka. Made me wonder, so I changed over to atronach and dropped to 3100 Spell damage (Thanks divines, the only time you suck lol). Will the more sustain help me or hurt me in the long run because of the DPS drop?

Tri Stat regen drinks are not an option as I need food to bump my HP from 15k unfortunately.

To my knowledge... And I've been wrong before, apprentice only gives you 250 spell damage with all 7 divine traits?

I'm not sure what the Atronach Mundus some gives.

Prabooo

1v5? Killed em all? L2P

Apprentice shouldnt, even with buffs, increase spell damage by 500 I think. But maybe I don't see something there.

In any case, if you have sustain problems otherwise, go for Atronach. Your damage is determined by both spell damage and max magicka, while your regen is determined only by magicka regen. Additionally, you have a lot of spell damage and very low magicka regen, so increasing your regen by the same amount you lose in spell damage seems like a no brainer if you can make good use of it. Also, if you stack damage and forgo sustain, you might end up not being able to put as much pressure on your opponent, letting you deal less effective damage in the end.

I´d go with attronarch any day of the week.

If you want an offensive mundus stone i personally prefer thief over apprentice or shadow (because it also helps with defense - heals do benefit of crit).

IMO your spelldmg is a tad too high since your regen is too low. I have 2100 magicka regen and 2888 spelldmg with 39k magicka, and feel my sustain could get even higher to be comfy. I dont play my sorc alot these days tho, but I have tried it somewhat.

Hexys

I stay with the atronach mundus stone. The more damage you get the easier you kill pugs but the downside is that you will probably loose against good players because they will out-sustain you.

revonine

I'd stay with the atro mundus. Your burst will still be very high on a Sorc. You'll need the sustain against players that are even half decent.

raasdal

For sure atro. 1100 regen will get u killed in any 1vX situation, or against a skilled player that will not get bursted down easily. But as hexys says, against bad players u dont need the regen. But i would spec for the hard fights not the easy ones.

Kas

Great 1v5 @ 1.1k regen. 5 NPCs?

Master_Kas

Atronach everyday of the week imo.

Unless you run a high damage/crit bomb build. But then your sustain will suffer.

You know the legendary food bumps your health and also provides regen on all 3 stats right?

LegendaryMage

I have switched my mundus from atro to mage, but that's because I've been altering gear around so it makes a lot of sense to do so. Even so, I try not to go below 1.6k magica regen (unbuffed), with a potion it gets better of course.

Food is preferred for large magicka bonus anyway.

IIRC, Jewelry enchants trade 176 regen for 176 spell damage, while with mundus you trade 168 spell damage for 210 regen. Base without divines.

Mage is a good defensive/offensive combo.

My first question for OP would be are you going DW or destro?

Reznique

1vX with 1k regen

Teach me Sempai...
