Questions about the sorcerer

athorod · April 2014

I've been trying different builds with my sorcerer (respeccing) and I thought I'd try without pets now that I'm 20+. I currently use the rest-staff, but I'm considering ditching that when I get Dark Exchange (or is rest-staff a better in-combat option?).

But I also thought I might try a non-staff weapon for the sorcerer. Any suggestion as to which can compliment the sorcerer best?

I have ditched the dest-staff and thus the CC from that. Any suggestion for which mage class or non-staff-weapon CC that is the most effective?

My current "spellbar" consist of:
Velocious Curse -> Crystal Fragments -> Endless Fury -> Mutagen -> Consuming Trap -> Energy Overload.

Could be useful to swap the Consuming Trap with a CC mayhaps...

If you don't want to use the resto or destruction staff, I'd suggest the bow. You get several CC options that keep your enemies at a comfortable range. Scatter Shot has a knockback and can be morphed either to snare them or jump yourself back the same distance. Arrow Spray is an aoe snare and can also be morphed to root.

Silver Bolts from the Fighter's Guild. Easy to get, level 2 and so very effective. A stamina weapon is real nice when the magic starts to run dry. My magic recharges on the edge of orange (soft capped) always, so the few secs SB gets you, especially against Daedra, is golden.
