I'm stuck. It's been like 4-5 hours now. I've died 180 times and I've made it this far 360k points.

These Crematorial Guards are SOO tanky & their fire breath ticks way too fast.

I'm a Sorcerer.

Help.

    What's the point if Overload has wonky/slow mechanics & the Guard is twice as fast your run speed...

    Use sigil of defence for the first one, then use Spectral Explosion stun for the rest when they spawn. DPS boss in between, and don't worry about going into execute mode on him. Nice and slow :)

    It's the best dps a sorc has?

    Bring boss down to 70% asap...you have to survive 1 Crematorial Guard and 2 Sorcerer adds, then destroy the stones. When you have done this, it's quite easy: collect the golden ghosts and kill first summoner add, then burn boss down.

    What I don't like: Apart from boss stage 5, all vMSA "Mechanics" are about dps.

    Best advice here. Get boss down to 70% ASAP and you only have to face one of them.
    When you go up top, learn how to burn the crystals down in one go because if you don't, you've got to deal with a crematorium guard + clanfear + mage add.

    The first one will be hard. I use the power buff before as soon as the fight begins and dawnbreaker it and the boss together. After the dawnbreaker, kite it with either boundless storm/streak and alternate between dps and hardened ward. If you are desperate, preplace mines and kite it over them.

    Don't use overload. It removes mage light and you'll lose your crit. Either dawnbreaker for all enemies on the final round. It should be hitting out over 30k by now on daedra. What gear are you running? Seems to be the biggest winner or loser maker.

    You can circle the guard, then fire will not hit you.

    You don't lose mage light if it's slotted. You can do 30k in two shots of overload. And then another and another etc

    You have two options to fight the Guards. The first option is to overload their face while you are running in a tight circle around them. They have a slow turn radius (but can quickly turn AROUND so don't try going behind them) while breathing fire.

    The second option is to just slot streak or ball of lightning on your overload bar and kite them while you kill them like I did in my first kill here:

    Huh? Just slot magelight on your overload bar. You *definitely* do not want to be using Dawnbreaker as a magicka sorc.

    Wow you make it look easy... It takes you about 4 hits to kill hit, while it took me like 6-7... :T

    I quit the arena yesterday.. I just couldn't do it.

    It was hard as hell man. I probably died 300 times to that boss overall and I haven't raged that hard since completing Call of Duty 4 Airplane Mission on Veteran mode. I gave up my first time as well.

    Some advice I learned to up my damage as a Sorc.

    Go Thief Mundus
    Put 100 Points into Elemental Mastery (if you have that many)
    Put 62 points into Elfborn (If you have it).

    I think when I first beat it I was using apprentice which was much more difficult.

    After killing him 25 or so times I think it only takes me ~2 minutes now because I know the fight so well I can risk burning DPS and ignoring adds and such. It gets much easier with practice like everything.
