PVE + PVP Sorcerer Damage, second weapon healing.

KillSide

Well I need a build of a sorcerer that focus on damage but also can heal for PVE and especially for PVP.
So I need some expert opinions how to make this build.

Thanks for helpers!!

Magicka focus, 7 light armor, and a destruction staff.

Clip light attacks and force shock, and use crystal fragments when it procs.

Crushing shock
Crystal fragments
Endless fury

I did some research and found out where they are all, are you sure it's the best damage build?

Those are all morphs of the base ability. Crystal fragments is a morph of crystal shards, endless fury is a morph of mage's fury, mage light is in the mage's guild skill line, crushing shock is a morph of force shock in the destruction staff skill line.

The typical setup for a caster sorceror uses two main skills: crushing shock and crystal fragments. Crystal fragments gives you a 35% chance when casting any spell (other than itself) to make it instant cast, deal more damage, and cost less magicka. Crushing shock is a cheap, fairly high damage spell that can be woven with light attacks (light attack -> shock -> light attack -> shock, for a rapid-fire effect) to cause crystal fragments to activate as often as possible. Every time your hands glow purple, you cast crystal fragments for a large amount of damage and a knockdown on the target.

Magelight gives you roughly 10% extra critical chance with your spells while active. Power surge (a morph of surge) gives you +20% more spell damage for 20 seconds. These are used to boost the damage of your light attacks, crushing shock, and crystal fragments.

I forgot to ask, What kind of destruction staff are you using?

usrevenge

this is what i been doing.

attack bar

crystal fragments

mages wrath

liquid lightning

velocious curse

degeneration (from the mages guild tree)

ultimate energy overload


heal bar i just put the first 4 heals of the heal staff, and hardended ward from the daedric summoning tree.

same ultimate


with mages guild rank 10 and might of the guild soon as you cast degeneration your next attack does 20% more damage. so what i do is curse, degeneration, mages wrath. one of those usually procs the crystal frag perk making it an instant cast.

soon as i hit low mana (or take decent damage) i swap to heal staff, heavy attacks regen mana, if you are DPSing and you have no mana but not taking damage call the ultimate and spam light attacks till your mana regens.

Personally I run a lightning staff, but if you want to maximize damage go with a fire staff. I just use lightning because I think it fits my character better.
