Opinions on tweaking my mag sorc

Vanzeii

So I am running all light armor. My recovery is about 1.4k and 31k magicka in no cp while my health is about 9k unbuffed (not including battle spirit either).
I was wondering if I should change one of the piece to heavy to get a bit of extra health from the heavy armor skill line and undaunted mettle.
Another question is if I should go vamp or not for the extra regen to make up for what I lost and for elusive mist because of what is going on with elusive mist. What are your guy's opinions.

What food/drink you using? Blue food offers a bigger buff to 2 stats, purple food offers a smaller buff to 3 stats. Use blue food if you have enough stamina, use purple food if you need more stamina. If you have the undaunted mettle passive then yes you should be mixing armour for the stat boost. Take your final stat reading in cyrodiil with food buffs active. You should probs have over 20k hp in cyro with food. If you still fall short than that's when to go for glyphs.

Edit: The extra regen from vamp doesn't make vamp worth it, what makes vamp worth it for me is the undeath passive. The extra regen is meh. Mist form on a sorc is also meh, cos you have wards and streak. That's my opinion anyway.

I use witch mothers potent brew to get the regen, health and magicka. Streak is currently bugged getting me killed a few times.

Give good old purple food a try, I think it gives more hp. I just remembered it's no cp atm so 18k hp would probably be ok, assuming you have wards, but 20k is kind of the minimum for cp. If you're max cp you should have no issues hitting that with purple food and undaunted mettle. I'm only undaunted rank 7 so don't have mettle and I sit at 21k hp with 2 pieces of heavy and purple food (in cp campaign). Take a cost reduction glyph and atro mundus to boost sustain. Seducer is a great set too.

This character was recently made about a week ago and my cp is around 260. So currently I am trying to get the undaunted mettle passive.

Run full light until you get the undaunted passives.

That's not to say 1,1,5 is the only way to go considering your defense is mainly in your shields as a sorc, the extra health isn't that amazing. The stam is nice though.

You should run purple food because you need 13-15K min on stam to stay alive.

5-1-1 is the way to go, five light and a med and heavy Pirate Skeleton monster set to get that extra tankiness. At least 5-6 of them should be Impen.

Your health is a bit low, 18 - 20K with all buffs at a min.

Yeah I am noticing that I need a bigget stam pool as I can only cc break once and I'm dead as I usually get cc'd again.

Wouldn't my regen drop quite a bit if I only have 5 pieces of light armor? Or should I change my champion points into increased regen instead of decreased cost. I currently dont have lich and might not obtain that set for a while.

Do yourself a favor and grind up the Lich, it will make your sustain issues disappear.

On no CP week I ran 5pc Seducers, 3pc willpower, 2pc slimecaw and it was beast. IMO seducers > Lich on No CP. I used witch brew as well. Even in CP campaigns I preferred seducers over Lich's "burst sustain."

I can't recall my bar set up, but I used lights champion (resto ult) to buff my offense and since its cheap I had high uptime. Run inner light on offense using this set up and people will explode on No CP.

My sustain was so great, i ran stamina immovable pots.
