Please, help me gearing up my Sorc :|

Easyone

Hello everyone, fresh new player, just made R16
Now, since i farmed for hours and hours, i'd like to buy/craft/KNOW WHERE TO DROP the items required to be able to play PVP for a period of time and then meanwhile i can farm for the "endgame" gear.
I did check the sets , healers/martial knowledge/magnus but i dont know which traits are good for pvp, which stats, and then which set bonus

What should i wear?

I know many of you will tell "you have to choose based on your playstyle" but MEH i just want to play a standard mage, i want to kite, kite , kite and kite or die, and ok, i can choose but i dont know between WHAT i should choose.
This could be stupid yeah but for a new player, the item system is crazy, you can find guides for r14 sorcs but neither one for a r16

I just want a decent/good gear that i can buy or craft or drop so i can be competitive in pvp while i understand the rest

Thanks for the time


Another question, does the grouping tool work? cause since i made r16 i'm constantly in queue but nothing never happen..

Thank

This is what I use on my VR15 (almost 16) sorc that I pvp/pve with.

Jewellery: Vr14 healers
Shoulders: Undaunted piece
Head/Chest/Pants/Boots/Arms - Vr15 Phoenix set (new stone set)
Waist & Weps - Vr15 Magnus

I'm mana based and I assume you are as well since you said standard mage. There are other sets such as Marital if you wanna spec for spell dmg instead of basic mana/regen.

As for grouping, I personally don't use it I use guild chats instead.

V16 is very young, and I highly doubt that anybody already have a full magicka v16 optimum gear. And depending of what you prefer (max burst, a lot of spamming, a good defense, easy resource management), the stuff can change.

For the moment, I have a classic v14 set with some v16 piece : 4 martial knowledge, 2 Valkyn, 2 torug (with a v16 gold staff, your first priority IMO for the 200 damage bonus) and three willpower jewelry.
I have 20k life in pvp, 27k magicka, 9600 stamina, 2200 spell damage unbuffed, 1800 magicka regen and 1200 stamina regen (with drink). I can use a lot of spell, I deal a good amount of damage (but not the 9k enemy crystal frag I still see sometime), I can cc-break each 6 second, I can dodge every 4 second and my mutagen heal me for 700 second. I rarely use any shield because of my 25k spell resist (while in thunder form) and 15k armor, and my good heal (surge when proc on a frag is sooo good).

I've been contemplating this gear for PvP:

Head (Prismatic): Molag Kena (Torug's Pact if you have Molag Kena shoulders) x1
Shoulders (Magicka): Torug's Pact x1 (can also be Molag Kena due to the above)
Chest (Prismatic): Kagrenac's Hope
Gloves (Magicka): Kagrenac's Hope
Legs (Prismatic): Kagrenac's Hope
Waist (Magicka): Kagrenac's Hope
Feet (Magicka): Kagrenac's Hope
Neck (Spell Damage): Willpower
Ring 1 & 2 (Spell Cost Reduction): Willpower

Weapon 1 (Disease): Inferno Staff of Torug's Pact
Weapon 2 (Absorb Magicka): Restoration Staff of Torug's Pact

Molag Kena drops in gold key chests or White-Gold Tower, Willpower drops in dungeons and Bone Shard/Dark Ether trophy vaults, and both Torug's Pact and Kagrenac's Hope are crafted (3 traits and 8 traits respectively)

I haven't tried this setup anywhere but the Public Test server, but I've gotta say that it's pretty good on there.

You gotta farm if you want gear. It's just the way it all works :P I guess you could just use the v15 versions of the crafted sets if you just want to hop in.

willpower jewelry drops in dungeons @ vr 16? normal dungs or vet dungs?

Easyone

i was oriented on something about 5 phoenix r15 items (already got stones so i could buy em)
3 willpower jewels (anyone can exactly say where i can drop those?)
and i'm missing the 2 staves and a good 2 pieces set with a decent bonus

RoyJade

Willpower, endurance and agility item can drop on all final dungeon boss, both vet and non vet one.
You get one item at 100% when you open a trophy vault chest (endurance = planar armor/legionary, agility = tooth/claws, willpower = bone/ether), but you can find a weapon, a shield or a jewel, and with random trait (like willpower robust, or weapon training…).
