How to correctly gear a Pvp Sorc

leepalmer95

Few questions first:

What the min magicka regen i should have (if i run out of mana i die...)
Max magicka or spell power or both?
How do some sorc get 35k+ magicka

What gear do people suggest? cyrodiils light or a 4 piece healer etc...

I'm a high elf sorc

I'm not 100% sure on all of the things you've listed because I'm still finding stuff out myself but I do have quite a bit of experience in pvp.

I know people use food, glyphs and the mundus stone that increases max magicka - I also think that armor sets play a part in your magicka aswell (might be wrong) because of the extra magicka you are given. One last thing that helps you out in the magicka side of it is champion points.

The amount if magicka needed can depends sometimes so I'm not sure theres a specific answer to that but for me I'm doing pretty well currently with 24.3k max magicka. Make sure you use abilities that help you out in terms of magicka because it will really benefit you if you do. (Some people don't need to use those abilities because of gear and champion points)

(I might be wrong) but my understanding is that the more magicka you have the more damage you do (or something like that, I'm still learning - someone might explain that better than me)

I hoped I sort of helped you

Well i know the basics myself so i'll help you.

You magicka skills dmg is based off your max magicka + spell power and go off spell crit chance.

Most high end pvp sorc i;ve seen in videos and such have 35k+ magicka, or at least 30k+ because your main defence (hardened ward scales off only maximum magicka).

Most sorc i know use the attronarch mundus because it gives over 200+ magicka regen and is generally better than the mage or so which only grants about 1.5k extra magicka.

I'm just curious how people get magicka so high while keeping decent spell dmg and magicka regen.

ah ok, I was wondering if I should switch to the magicka recovery mundus stone but people were saying that if I switch to that my damage will be lowered but my magicka will be easier to maintain or something like that. I'll probably switch and see what happens. sometimes I feel like I don't know things that I really should since I'm currently VR 10 - I'm not the type of player who monitors nearly every stat but I do look at the importent things like magicka.

I am convinced though that the way people get a large amount of magicka is due to gear and cp's.

For the average Sorcerer, balance is important. Most Sorcs told me, 1.1k-1.3k regen is reasonable. The more skilled you are, the less regen you will need. I myself have a bit over 700 Magicka regen

2100 Spell damage buffed is average and should be what your aiming for, if you're looking for balance. around 2500 spell damage is pretty much the maximum for Destruction staff.

And Magicka. A big factor for those numbers are Champion points, as they increase your ressources. Maybe a Magicka trait here and there, from the healer for example and maybe Magelight. Then 35k should be quite easy to reach, but you don't necessarily need it.

hmm problem is my build won't be using inner light

I've got 90 cps at the moment, any gear recommendation?

I was thinking:

Weapon 1 - Torug
Weapon 2 - Torug

Helm - Not sure here maybe blood spawn
Shoulder - Torug
Chest - Martial knowlegde
Gloves - Martial knowlegde
Legs - Martial knowlegde
Waist - Martial knowlegde
Boots - Healer

Neck - Healer
Ring - Healer
Ring - Healer

Not sure about the helm, torug would give me some more hp, martial would give me the dmg passive which isn't very good, blood spawn would give me 129 stamina recovery.

With this i should get, 4x spell dmg, 1x max magicka, 1x magicka recovery

Hey,

If you are suffering with Magicka then sacrifice spell damage for sustain,

I run full set warlock,

4 pieces martial knowledge,
2/3 pce torugs pact,

All enchants on weapons is reduce magicka cost,
