Here is a thread with a video I think a lot of sorcs should be taking a look at. I hope this helps, he did a great job!

Yeah, I watched it a little earlier (this morning) but am at work, so can't really look properly.

The other thing, is that it's geared up to V14's - doesn't really help anyone less in terms of Armour builds and Weapons.

I personally love the changes to the sorcerer
I run 5 light 2 soulshine heavy
I mainly use the daedric summoning class tree with daedric prey, lightning flood and crystal fragments mixed in
Currently pulling 12k single target DPS as a v14

You're pulling 12k single target while the other classes with less gear are pulling 15k single target. This is while being forced to play a pet class that isn't really a pet class so much as a automated Dot that follow's you around and does what it wants with no interaction from you...

You might ok with this, but the rest of us are not.

Yes it is, but you can mimick almost all of it with "made" set pieces at your lvl. The pieces that you cant "jewelry" you can buy and/or grind for the equivelent. Here is a link to a site with all the sets, its a little out of date, but you will see whats out there and they are pretty close to the same (numbers are different).

edit:
For example: 5 seducer, 3 torugs and 2 cyridills light (v6) 36k ap ea.
The extreme benefit to doing this (made items) is you get to choose what trait you want for each piece....your not stuck with the "dropped" set traits that you might not want and/or need. It also allows you to pick heavy, medium or light.....me I go 5 light and 2 heavy for the mitigation since LA values have decreased greatly.

That's the trouble... a lot of the gear are drops above V8... so its crafted or farm cyrodiil chests for Martial Knowledge pieces which you'll level out of pretty quick.

It's my understanding that the increases of say spell damage or magicka from having the correct trait on a piece of non-optimal crafted gear is lower than having the optimal dropped set with the wrong traits. Plus in this particular case were only talking about 3 MK pieces ultimately (cyro light, adroitness, MK legs all have correct traits, Torugs crafted, etc.) not a big deal imho.

This build from what I can see is low stats in almost all accounts except regen which he seems to favor over damage. Again to each there own as to how much cost reduction and regen is needed.

Edit: the fact is sorcs got it rough now that the meta has switched from spell crit to spell damage forcing most of us to completely change our gear. There will be a gear grind involved no matter what, it's unavoidable at this point.
Edit: With that said^ at v8 you don't have access to adroitness yet and yes if your really grinding away you'll level out of any gear quickly.
