Trying to gear up my Sorc alt. I've been hearing 35K + is a good number to be at. What do you guys typically run with?

    36.2k for me with tri stat food. With blue food I'd have an extra thousand but the lack of stamina gets me killed.

    My goal is to actually reach 35K. But I know what I'm lacking: gold enchants and undaunted.

    36k for me, can push up to 40k when I use magelight and bound armor but I don't use that alot only when I go for overload.

    I'm using purple v14 armor pieces tough and no undaunted passives ^^

    It's not a pvp build. Recovery too low (although not as bad as I'd expect), not enough room on bars for useful skills.

    And that's the PvP version:

    hFCHmyU.jpg

    It's doable to run with that magicka recovery, but that just isn't the same playstyle at all, more a "pew pew BOOM you dead fight over 2.374 seconds".

    Also, more magicka = bigger shields = less recasts required

    I've played with dracane, this isn't her regular build, a least it wasn't, might be different now. This build would be awesome for ganking but not for prolonged fights. Still impressive though, just not that practical.

    Edit: I hope.

    well with additional 20% regen from pots it would be 1200.
    1200 with perma pots would be enought to fight 4ever

    that 10k hp, so cute. 5x shieldbreaker and poof, need to be fast, if you hit hard. as for me, il stay at 46k but with 24k hp thank you, feels a bit more save, and still op

    Not in my experience. I have 47cp in magician and a cost recovery glyph. I have 1600 regen, weave and still run out of magicka occasionally.

    No offense to op, but your question is a bit pointless. All you'll get is people showing off how much max magicka they can stack to maximise that one particular statistic. Your actual effectiveness will depend on a combination of Max Magicka, Spell Dmg, Crit Chance, Crit Dmg, Spell Cost Reduction and Magicka Regen.

    For example my Sorc currently has 2 main setups:

    PvE setup:
    N2f4HDy.jpg

    Fully buffed with Inner Light, Bound Aegis and Power Surge.
    VR15 Max Magicka/Health Food.

    PvP setup:

    57F2AEn.jpg

    Unbuffed but inside Cyrodil and using tristat food.

    One build is not better than the other, but my PvP setup obviously sacrifices pure dps for more sustain.

    Not a Sorc, but my Breton DK on console can get 42,000 magicka and 24,000 health simultaneously in pvp. I like the reflective wings over the shield stack and bolt escape.

    My PvP sorc build is around 45k magicka on the buff bar and 42k on my damage bar. Sustain isn't that important if you play it correct but running bound aegis in PvP is stupid.

    You don't need more than 35k in cyrodiil, otherwise you are missing out on other stats that are more vital after that point.

    Get roughly ~35k, and crank spell damage.

    Keep in mind, you get 15 more SD total on rings, use gear/mundus for regen.

    I would have thought it was only possible with all V16 glyphs. Cheers for enlightening me. A reckoning will arrive after Christmas when the 8th trait on my swords finishes so I can craft a Kag Sword and I drop my gold on the rest of my gearing up. My magblade and Sorc will be ready to rock.
