Here's one of my more recent tests. Power Surge buff and food.

@LordSidious man, you're too low leveled to be getting a hard time for your build.

You don't have a lot of stats yet, it's cool.

Don't worry about gear, you'll out level it in hours.

Your skills prob aren't leveled so you're gonna wanna use a lot of weird stuff.

Get up into the highet levels, then worry about stats, just have fun!

I appreciate it since I'm convinced I'm in the top five worst sorcerers alive haha. I'm on Xbox as well so I'll send you a friend request and maybe we'll run into each in Cyrodiil sometime.

And does it affect tool tips etc? Please be detailed. Us console users have tons of glitches that we aren't aware of vs PC so I want to see if it's glitched. I've seen damage shoot to 15k on a friends sheet for no reason. I've noted in certain areas my numbers change wildy without any action from me (gear change etc) and the normal reasons don't apply like entering cyro.

You pretty much got it. For console it's just a random bug that effects our stat sheet. I posted a pic on a bugged out sheet earlier.

I think though, he thought u used this to get that high of spell dmg, or was referencing me.

Dunno, doesn't really matter.

How's your spell dmg so high? Wuts ur gear?

Aww now I understand why he was being so snide. On console we don't have many ways to see what is/isn't affecting our tool tips etc with no explanation unless you go digging like I did.
I'm wearing 5pc Julianos/4 pc Magnus/Dual wield/resto/all v16 legendary with magicka enchants/willpower arcane x3 w/legendary spell damage enchants + buffs and 336 CP points. I was at 300 in that pic I think?
Now I've traded helm/shoulder for legendary engine guardian in divine (thanks RNG) w magic enchants & dual wield 2x torugs pact. Oh and 5 L 1 M 1 H + undaunted passive obviously.
I just want to find a way to see my REAL spell damage FOR SURE. Ideas?

On console, the best we have is a "cold" look. What I mean is, after logging into the game, without activating any abilities, without changing gear, open your character screen. That's the most likely not to be bugged.

For me, the bug only really occurs after changing gear.

As for your spell dmg, I have the same gear at purp and gold. After surge Im running close to 3900 spll dmg. I am going to say yours hits 4k and a bit more. That's why I wasn't surprised by your spell dmg.

On a non procc set up I think highest possible is: x1 kena x5 julianos, x3 willpower, x2 Krag, x1 goldwill power sword (unless nirnhoned would increase stats) in terms of spll dmg stat. Running Apprentice (spll dmg right?) All divines gold.

Hit surge, I could see the stats saying close to 4700

Now that's what I needed to know! Once scrolling text comes it will make it a bit easier to actually see your damage like pc users knowing theirs precisely coming in at 10 to 20k dps etc and we have no clue. And yes of course, I'm running the apprentice stone in that pic. I'm going to try what you suggested tomorrow and see what my correct damage is, I'm extremely curious.

ArchMikem

Almost Veteran 9 now, came across a couple Soulshine set pieces (which I have a set of four now) while questing and that's helped a bit. Also bought some staves from the Guild stores so I had proper spell damage.

I've also changed her armor to all black cause it looks better than an actual color. I love being a "Black Mage" even though I'm mainly a Storm Mage. I came up with the idea if I ever started a guild, it would be an all Khajiit group called the Black Cats.

greylox

So far with 4 pieces desert rose and 3 bahramas curse, all purple gear/weapons, while I wait for a mate to craft some decent stuff, just too damn lazy myself Using this build as an off-healer and damage dealer with overload

With bound armour for magicka buff




without, because bound armour looks pony

ArchMikem

Why cant the Console version have the PC UI layout? It's so much cleaner and compact.

Also what does being a Plus Member give you in terms of buffs. Is it jut an xp gain boost and that's it?

crislevin

mixed v11/v12 gear, Julianos (x5) and Torugs (x3-4), soulshine x2, all purple magicka enchantment, all armours are blue (infused/divine), all weapons are purple.

with food and major sorcery buff

you can use the reward head costume from a main quest of Orsinium, it will hide the bound armour.

Waffennacht

@ArchMikem no buffs from eso membership, just xp boost gold finding boost and 10% reduction on research time. Those are the only in game benefits

ArchMikem

I finally memorized the linked image code.

My numbers are getting better! Done some investing in armor sets. I have x3 Soulshine, and x3 Twilight's Embrace, all varying levels between VR7 and VR9 cause I don't have my clothing up to 50 yet and I could only find the appropriate level Soulshine chest piece in the guild traders. Put still I've been blazing through NPC mobs now.

I also did my first group dungeon tonight. I was VR9. The dungeon was scaled to VR16. I was a very, very scared Healer. I still have to do the Banished Cells for the Undaunted if anyone would like to hold my hand while I heal you?

crislevin

Hows your skill line up for heal?

I just started using it a couple levels back, I think it's only up to 29? But I have Illustrious Healing, Rapid Regeneration, and Combat Prayer as my healing/buff abilities.

ArchMikem

My numbers are getting higher.

Purple Lightning Staff of Flame
x4 Soulshine
x4 Twilight's Embrace
^will be five once i finish researching the last trait on my epaulets.

do you use food buff?

Not really. I got some crown fortifying meals for when I eventually went into Cyrodiil a little, but other than that no.

ArchMikem

Leveled up in Cyrodiil. Those daily quests give you so much xp compared to the stupid side quests in the Alliance zones.

Still the same gear, but have a purple Vet11 Inferno staff now and all my Twilight's Embrace gear is Vet11.

Did another dye job too. Look like an actual Pact Baddass now. (even though I'm a crap player)

aLi3nZ

2x Heavy Peices
5x Light

All divines except heavy reinforced molag kena helm

5x Law of Julianos
2x Molag Kena
2x Tourgs Pact
3x Willpower

Orsinium Food
Power Surge
Boundless Storm
Molag Kena Proc

I prefer this for PVP 1vX. High magika regen ftw.

ArchMikem

@aLi3nZ A lot of your numbers are close to mine, but that spell damage though. Makes me envious.

I can't wait till I can craft better sets.

Molag kena proc adds 500ish spell damage. There are a lot of ways to get over 3k spell dmg thankfully.

Im trying to finish my new build, lower on spell dmg but focused on abilities.

ArchMikem

Finished Cadwell's Gold, outfitted with new armor set, and ditched the Heavy pieces for all Light. Some of my numbers are a little higher now while others took a dive, and I'm still very squishy.

All Light Armor
x3 Torug's Pact
x4 Martial Knowledge
x3 Soulshine (Jewelry)

I thought ahead and invested in some armor for when I get to Vet14 and 16, getting some higher level Martial Knowledge and Willpower items, stashed in the bank for later.

Also, spent two nights with a map of all the Lorebooks, filling out collection after collection until finally leveling Mage's Guild to 10 and unlocking Meteor.

Molag kena proc adds 500ish spell damage.

So not only do you have to do the White Gold Tower, beat the final boss, and hope it drops, but also do a veteran dungeon plus it's challenge, and hope that drops, only to have something that gives you a spell damage boost only when it procs?

I'd rather spend time getting my number up permanently.

It's not a procc...you just activate it in your rotation, which wil net in an uptime of ~80%+...so it's a really high boost to spelldmg.

Waffennacht

Hey guys. Here is my current work in progress. All purp armor so far, no undaunted yet. But there is a gold staff

Almost fully buffed

Edit: whoops had wrong pic up

ArchMikem

@Waffennacht That's actually pretty low spell resistance, though judging by your magic pool you probably just soak up everything using wards anyway.

Do you use Annulment and Hardened Ward, or just the Ward?

Waffennacht

@ArchMikem I just use hardened ward. It procs my trinimac so spamming it, or refreshing it more often I should say, becomes a boon.

Resistance matter very very little to a sorc. Damage over flow from shield to hp is unmitigated by armor, resistance only plays a roll if you are taking a hit with no shield up at all, at which point you are sol already (basically) so I ignore resistance.

Ive only slotted annulment when I went 1v1 with a magicka nb emp. Stacking was my only hope and even then it came down to the wire.

DjSolJAH

A FYI to all the sorcs looking at most of these 4k+ Spell damage builds... Almost all of those screenshots are tooltip bugs. Those stats are not correct
