    Everyone struggles with tanky targets this patch. You can get eight people to focus one before you can finally kill them.

    You need to bring a couple of friends, CC, and time your ults.

    This patch DW is terrible on a Sorc. Like really terrible. Destro is just better at everything. Even burst is pretty much the same. So yeah, drop DW and get a staff. I never thought I'd be saying this cause I loved DW sorc...

    Reason i dont run destro anymore is firstly because it feels clunky on ps4 especially when 1vXing and dual wield is just so much more fun lol.

    try spinners/lich/willpower and enchant your swords whit Crushing/Weakening. buff yourself whit infused spellpower enchant on the resto staff in combo whit combat prayer. use boundless storm.
    make good use of mage guild empower in your rotation and time your hard bursts whit knockdowns to take full advantage of the Ruffian passives.

    Are you using the old magicka detonation, curse, endless fury, entropy, frag build?

    Sort of but switch between det and mines depending on how im feeling, im just bored of lich julianos and willpower.

    After so many patches there must be some other gear i can try that will make me more able to kill tanky targets easier, without hurting my survivability too much

    Try 5 piece martial knowledge over Julianos front bar DW, with 1 martial sword and 1 willpower sword, 2 willpower jewelry and 1 lich, as a sorc survivability comes from sustain. Martial knowledge will only trigger on that endless fury and proc for the next 1 which should be frags coz it will skip entropy. 50% boost to that frag. If it crits probably dead, should probably put radiant magelight on there over det. Worth a shot. Should hit like really hard

    Another thing u can do is drop mines and rune, curse and use the swamp mother set and block so u pull them into the mines and rune as u instant cast drag before already having used endless fury. It's a *** move but it's pretty funny

    The test shouldn't be a duel sorc to sorc, but rather test which build can take down a tanky MDK or blocking templar faster. That's about 60% of cyrodiil right now.

    Staff has huge advantages in both fights with the extra pressure and Destro ultimate. I still play better as a DW sorc though, not because it's 'BIS' but because it 'clicks' for me.

    I use:

    5 Spinner, 5 Lich DW (two Lich swords) 2 Kena / Master's Lightning bar reduces lich to 3pcs.

    Under 33% magic? switch to proc Lich, go back to Master staff and keep lobbing breaking balls (Reach) at people.

    This is a pretty grind-intensive build due to 2 Lich swords and VDSA. No guarantee to wreck tanks, but I love it.

    Yeh i just tested it out and i cant say its stronger i think the reason my damage isnt super high is because it forces me to go 7 light as opposed to my previous 5 1 1 setups but ill continue to use it for a bit, also i had to switch of atronach and went to shadow my sustain is definetly worse than before but i do have decent burst potential, ill probably test out the actual number difference tommorow.

    Well it isn't a test as such, I've dueled all classes and can perform well against all, I have huge burst potential when everything is timed perfectly

    and I feel the same, destro has its advantages but duel wield just fits for me, it's my preference so that's what I roll with
