You'll want to use Entropy for the 20% spell damage bonus. It also costs next to nothing and is useful for proccing frags

Entropy is actually a really good idea I didnt think about that. Beautiful. Since I got a response from some sorcs, do either of you know if there are viable pet builds? From what ive seen theyre tankier dps. Heavy armor. Clanfear and matriarch both morphed for health, curse (or maybe entropy) frags, ward, storm atronarch or even meteor again. With variations using lightening ball to absorb dmg. While still technically being able to run a bastion/thaumatauge build to get your frags and ward up high. Anything sounding like it might work? Just looking to experiment outside of the nuke template build. Thanks for all your input.

Bar 1 - destro staff: cfrags, curse, entropy, crushing shock/force pulse, endless fury/streak - dawnbreaker of smiting
Bar 2 - resto staff: hardened ward, harness magicka, healing ward, daedric mines, streak - overload/meteor/barrier

Gotcha. I wonder if you morph the clanfear to explode if you can get his explosion dmg high enough to run him as a kamikaze spike dmg. Hmm. Septimus I like the looks of it but not having ward on both bars seems like a bad idea to me. As fast paced as pvp can be sometimes and how quickly you can become overwhelmed I wouldnt feel safe not having atleast one survivability skill on my main bar.

the explosive pet build was actually a diverse build a while back, before the nerf bat hit. the explosion part use to deal half-decent AOE damage, AND AOE stuns, AND give resource back.

In crowded fights just cast the pet and "Y" it to the opponent, let it explode and watch ppl kneeling down. Barely kills anyone though, everybody could see it coming, its more for the lulz .

Ahh I miss the times when sorc can have more builds than just bubbled blinkers

Streak is also a defensive skill so dont worry too much.

I used to play with hardened ward on my main bar but its actually harder to stay alive and you do less damage. If you need to switch bars in between the shields you loose quite a lot of survivability because half of hardened ward is gone in the time it takes to switch bars. If you get attacked and suffer damage to your health, first cast healing ward and follow with harness and hardend ward. Now you can switch back and burst your enemy down without having to worry about your health bar.

Edit: clannfear, curse and prox deto could be a pretty strong combo. Im not sure how much damage the clannfear explosion does in pvp but I like the idea.
