Very nice video. Obviously you make it work with heavy, but I wonder what actual benefits you are seeing compared to light armor? It seems like over 90% of the time, all incoming damage is hitting your shields, which completely negates the extra defenses and block cost reduction passives. It does look like you have awesome resource sustain though. Do you feel you are getting significant resources back from the Constitution passive? If not, you must have crazy high regen or some armor set I am unaware of because you seem to spam cast some shields + balls and you are still sitting at 90% magicka.

Heavy Armor sorc can work in PvE, too, but you have to live with three things:

1) Atronach mundus stone for the Magicka regen OR regen-buffing drinks instead of stat-buffing foods.

2) Spell cost reduction on all three jewelry pieces, preferably Kuta grade.

3) Your DPS will NEVER be as high as the "FOTM" spell damage build everyone is talking about.

The thing is, even with shield stacking I have to block in fights like this, or I will get CC'd and have to break free (which I can do 2x) or die when they break through my shields. In light armor I simply cannot stay up close like this, instead I would have to kite them out forever. As far as constitution, I don't notice it, I have high regen rates, so yeah. Not using any special gear, just seducer, warlock, 1 blood spawn (stam regen).

I admit you're next to impossible to take down in this but the tradeoff is your damage is just not very threatening ) =

Preparing for all the B2P ppl in a month. When they QQ about all the "sorc blinky blink impossible to kill", I will be there perma block-bunny hopping in their faces being impossible to kill.

Yeah I don't honestly forsee a large influx of new players TBH. Do you? Was the monthly sub really that big of a barrier to entry? Now that the game has been out a year, most of the players who may have signed on to start were it B2P will more than likely have moved on.

I'm going to be trying a Heavy Chest, Medium Legs build myself here as soon as I can grin and bear grinding my undaunted past level 5 / =

I have the 5 - 1 - 1 running myself, best of all worlds, and as you say, the Undaunted boost as well makes things worth it.

The influx of players may not make it all to PvP-land, but Auridon earlier was like Woodstock.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for some fresh meat for the grinder then.

Very interesting. Nice video. I myself run 2 pieces of heavy with whitestrakes and warlock. Granted I'm still fairly new and learning but it's fun. Been watching allot of yours and Ezareths old videos.

Whitestrakes is a pretty troll set, I'd derp sound with it but then I'd lose the 2 mag regen bonuses from seducer. =\

Nice one, fun to watch to say the least.
On the other hand sorcerer 1vX play kind of reminds me :
