i dont know much about sorc as im still leveling mine for pve, but for group content i would switch healing ward for elemental ring.leepalmer95 wrote: »I've never properly pve'd with my sorc yet, mainly pvp, but as i;m vet 10 i decided to start doing pledges + Dsa and such.
Anyway heres what i'm thinking of running
1st Bar - Inferno Staff
Crushing shock
Frags
Endless Fury
Bound Aegis
Inner light
Bar 2 - Resto
Hardened Ward
Healing Ward
Liquid Lightning
Bound Aegis
Inner light
I'm pretty much going to medium weave with crushing shock, keep lightning up,, use frags when proc'd and execute when needed.
I don't have meteor yet sadly, far too lazy to get books as it's so much effort on console.
So ultimates are dawnbreak of smiting + Lightning Atro
Any suggestions i'm just making this up on the spot. Should i use overload? instead?

I've been using this setup for a while (currently VR2). The spell damage difference between daggers and staff is crazy. Of course you lose out on those destro staff spells, but relying on tanking + frags I never run out of magicka, ever.
1st bar - Dual Torug's Pact Daggers
Crystal frags
Hardened Ward
Mages Wrath
Liquid lightning
Clannfear (great for tanking)
Ult: Overload (rarely need to use it)
2nd bar - Resto staff
Rapid Regen
Healing Ward
Harness Magicka
Streak
Clannfear
Ult: Devouring Swarm
There's no real burst damage there, but it's possible to tank while proccing your frags with liquid lightning and mages wrath.
I roll with 4 pc (hat, shoulders, ring and amulet) Warlock, 5 pc Seducer and torug's pact for daggers.

May I ask what you cast between CF procs?

My PvE sorc runs this
Bar 1 destro. Inner light, impulse, structured entropy (cast before any frag), elemental ring, frags, Atronach
Bar 2 destro, lightning form, hardened ward, inner light, endless fury, and a flex spot usually liquid lightning, mines or curse. Power overload here.
Rotation for AOE, lightning form+ward, drop liquid and blast AOE with ring and throw entropy then frag when Procced
Single target impulse until proc SE then frag. Weave with fire staff. Apply buffs as needed.
With my Altmer this is very sustainable if I add some heavy attacks for regen and pop magicka potions as needed. For gear right now I have warlock 5pc with 3 jewelry and Vampires Kiss 5pc for self heal on kill. In vet dungeons I'm usually the last to die if the group wipes. I could probably stack more spell damage and crit, but I like staying alive.
A few tips:
You don't need Hardened Ward or Healing Ward for PvE
Your back bar should be Dual Wield with Overload slotted for the extra spell damage. While in Overload mode, use 4 toggles (clannfear, twilight, inner light, Aegis) and Liquid Lightning. Keep LL up and spam light attacks ftw!
Take Force Pulse over Crushing Shock
Chain chug Spell Power potions for your spell crit and spell power buffs instead of using Entropy or Surge.
Alternatively, you can run a Pet build which is great for dungeons and solo PvE, check the link in my signature for more details.
