I was thinking about making a magicka to on that doesn't rely on weapon use... But other means to power up... But is viable for good end game dps... Any ideas?

    sorcerer with duel wield very strong with range. duel wield no weapon use here only have duel wield for their passive which would increase your spell damage higher then any other weapon at end game.

    It's not viable to fight without weapon. you lose almost all spell damage, and you won't be able to swap weapons. It may be possible, but it can't be viable in endgame because of those reasons.

    DW works well with Sorc range builds but I don't do it as weaving light attacks from destro and the destro passives are pretty good.

    A sorc that's entire build is based around gaining ultimate and basing there entire playstyle around using the sorc ultimate ability overload. (as it does mental damage!)

    As far as I know, sorcs are still weaving force pulse, which is a weapon skill.

    For endgame dps you need to learn to weave your Skills, which makes at least normal weapon attacks mandatory.
