Alright, a few thoughts:

- It's always better to stick to either Magicka or Stamina and not try to do both. You are running Magicka and Stamina gear and skills. Pick one and go with it. Since you are a High Elf, unless you plan on race changing, play Magicka and remake another Sorc for stamina. If you plan on race changing, then feel free to build a Stamina toon and swap to Redguard or Khajiit next patch.

- Armor Weight and Weapon/Armor traits matter a lot. If Magicka, one should always have Undaunted 9 and run 5 light, 1 medium, 1 heavy armor. Stamina users should wear 7 medium in almost all cases. Divines is the best DPS trait on armor with infused in a close 2nd. Precise and Sharpened are the best traits for weapons though which is better depends upon content and group.

- If you are running Dual Wield, Rapid Strikes is always the go-to skill (unmorphed Flurry). You really need that on your bar. For Magicka, it would be Force Pulse. Both are spammables you should be using if not reapplying DoTs.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for that, I'll make some changes to the lineup then. I do plan on changing race when its available too

A) Are you testing with or without ultimates? If with, what is your ultimate charge when you engage battle? (Especially on magicka sorcerers, this is a huge difference, especially utilizing an overload heavy PvE dps build (i.e., elegance set)

Are you factoring in specific gear from your healer (or tank), i.e. worm or spell power cure?

Is that with ult? I can only get 57? May i please know what you are running

Bobby_V_Rockit

After taking your advice, swapping out some gear for divines, robust jewellery and ability switch, my new stats are:

Magicka: 10662
Health: 25856
Stamina: 30271
Magicka Recovery: 624
Health Recovery: 538
Stamina Recovery: 1050
Weapon dmg: 3187 (will be higher when I get two more alloys)
Weapon Crit: 36.6%

Cant be toooo bad, I have finished 8 of the 10 vet pledges (not vWGT or vICP) and normal maelstrom with my original stats, but yeah, feels much better sustaining dps output now.

Thanks again!

@Bobby_V_Rockit Great, glad it's feeling better!

Two things still, assuming those stats are not for PvP in Cyrodiil, your health is still pretty high for a damage dealer. Ideally you want to be in the 17-19K range without group buffs (Ebon, Aggressive Warhorn, etc.). If you have health enchants, etc., I'd recommend switching those for Stamina.

Second, your Crit% is a little low. Not sure what Mundus you are running but Thief is the best option right now given the current meta. Also, make sure you have the Weapon Crit% passive unlocked in the Ritual tree.

Hope that helps!

Stam DK using Bow, no snipe, and Venom Arrow over Poison Injection. 70 seconds. Fairly certain I could get that a bit lower, but I'm okay with it right now.

Can anyone on PC get Vet Slimecraw's exact health? Planning on doing console parses using it and would like an accurate HP value.

Bobby_V_Rockit

I got it down to about 45 seconds, the most recent health of Slimecraw I could find was just short of 700k

We are still just using bloodspawn ? 3m is still super fast.

Is that on normal? It's saying at least 1.7m.

I have heard some using Slimecraw as well, but there is no way to determine exact numbers without an add-on. If I do parses I would like to at least know exact numbers.

Bobby_V_Rockit

Yeah, that was normal pre 1T, might e higher now.

Edit: my bad, didntnread your post correctly where you said vet. Normal mode has ~700k

You can YouTube search a bunch actually. It kind of depends on the terms. On Xbox NA - we don't use Ultimates and stop at 10%. Mag DKs sub 80, Sorcs and Magplar Sub 85, MagBlade sub 95

Thanks will do, this was a nice thread and thanks for your input. I like to see what's out there and how it differs from console and PC.

No problem, you can see a blood-spawn test of one of my builds in my signature below [Velocious Vyper]. I did it to PC standards and just dropped 1 ultimate and did full kill. It should give you a good idea of some current output.

ZOS is providing a "target skeleton" for the next Homestead Update!

A healer? Can't the tank heal. I can self substain heal while tanking.
