Are you using food? I assume oakensorcs are mag and HA scales like a spammable so use max mag food for some spell damage. Also re-enchant all your body pieces with max magicka and enchant your jewelry (if you can, have them be bloodthirsty) with spell damage. Enchant your staff with something else. Not sure if berserker (more spell/weapon damage), flame, or lightning is the play. Instead of reaving blows use whatever the more HA damage cp is. Should help.

Hello boss o/

I'm not familiar with the ha sorc build you are ruinning but can indeed see a few tweaks in your gear would be needed AND helpful to get higher dps

Like previously mentionned a few of your enchantments should be changed:
- body pieces: stamina enchants > magicka
- frontbar light staff: poison enchant damage
- jewelry enchants: spell power damage all 3
- jewelry traits: should be bloodthristy (i'm guessing you are running healthy to be able to survive more, but dps'ing things faster means they will very little time to hurt you
- Head set piece: illambris not doing anything special for you, should be replaced by a 1piece crit set (slimecraw)

Also tweaks should be made on champions points.

Just checked a guide, and here's a screenshot of the build specs:

Dont let it get you down boss, making a build can be a bit challenging, mistakes happens i made quite a few during my time, wasting money and ressources, but even tho, learned quite a bit from those mistakes and was always able to improve in the end with the help of guides and community

I expect your dps will really improve with those changes and considering your ability maybe you wont the top score of 100k, but i expect something like 70K, maybe even 75/80k which is more than enough to run a lot of vet content if you wish to do so!

The jewelry stats are really impeding your dps, i'd start there, the rest is minor tweaks thankfully ^^

If you need any help, please contact, i'd be happy to help in any way i can to get you where you want

It's just default traits and enchantments, for some reasons people can copy sets and skills, but can't copy enchantments and traits. It happens too often to be coincidence.

@OP

Hope it helps, let us know how it goes yeah, so we can improve if there's room for it and let more people know it works and encourage those who might benefit from this

Good day

A few notes that I think might help.

I know with that setup, and just holding light attack, you should be able to break 70K. That could be your CP level holding that part back a bit. So, it may come with time rather than anything being done wrong.

I'd replace Wall of Elements with Hurricane.

And then, the trick I found to make this work best, and I saw some others mention it elsewhere, is to basically hold down the heavy attack 100% of the time. When your skills fall off, hit the button to activate the skill, but keep the heavy attack held. This will queue the skill up, and the moment the heavy attack ends, and then the moment the skill ends, the heavy attack will reconnect.

Don't queue two skills on the same heavy attack. It is ok if a skill falls off for a second or two, the heavy attacks should be your priority. It is almost the opposite of Light attack weaving. You are essentially skill weaving between heavy attacks.

Matriarch is also a bit of a DPS loss, since it's active skill is healing. I hit 87K on live with that gear set up, Crit surge, and Tormentor. So, definitely stick with Matriarch if it feels comfortable, but it will be a DPS loss since you are unable to activate it for more damage at higher boss health.

-When I was last tweaking my Sorc heavy attack build, I swapped Wall of Storms out for Hurricane and did some parsing. Despite what Deltia said in his video, I absolutely could NOT get off balance to proc with Hurricane. I STILL use hurricane and try to keep as many baddies inside of it's effect as possible to maximize DPS but I also use Wall of Storms and was able to start knocking things off balance again. I changed the trait on my lightning staff to Charged and was even better at knocking things off balance.

-To the OP: it looks like you're using Worms Raiment set. I'd swap that out for something that boosts heavy attacks.
-Make sure you're keeping your finger down on the heavy attack button and while keeping it down, queue an ability about halfway through the heavy attack. Since you're using pets and have it slotted, always prioritize Daedric Prey. Don't renew it TOO soon or you waste the last explosion it does. Wait for it to end and then it should be your number one priority next queued ability.

I actually recommend Hurricane for the duration. It gives you at least 5 more seconds (depending on the WoE morph) of not needing to recast a skill, which is 5 more seconds that can be used for heavy attacks. Makes the rotation a bit easier and still hits fairly hard.
