A Sorc Dilemma: Undaunted or All Light passives

DatRascal · February 2016

I go back and forth on this one and would really like some feedback from the Sorc community…in-game have gotten some seriously mixed answers so figured I would put it out there.

Which way do Sorc’s get more useful enhanced passives: Undaunted (one heavy / one medium) or all light armor? Partially, I understand this depends on the build and armor set…so please give me some examples.

5 light'; 1 medium and 1 heavy for maximum undaunted passive bonus and optimal magcika/magicka regen/5x light set spell penetration bonus.

It is beneficial to use your main 5x item as light, but leave some material (if it is crafted) for what helm and shoulders you will get. (So you don't end up with 7 light).

And your main set should never touch weapons as you are constantly swapping and don't want the bonus to leave you on the second bar.

Good luck

Two pieces of light will give a little extra Magicka regen, cost reduction and spell resistance.

One heavy and one medium will give you 4% extra Magicka (more power and resources), Health and Stamina, as well as extra physical and spell resistance. There are also a couple of small bonuses from Medium and Heavy to consider.

Personally, I can already spam most of my abilities for days. The Undaunted bonuses win out.

From a PVE side of things, undaunted for the win. For one thing, if you go straight glass cannon and run 5/1/1, you will end up with 16809 health on most races. That is enough health for all content, but barely. I found when I tried 7 light that I needed to put some points into health to stay alive or run a shield in group play. Both are counterproductive to DPS.

Personally I use 5 light 2 heavy which makes me quite tanky and barely reduced my dps at all. I also checked my stats comparing 1 medium and 1 heavy peice compared to 2x heavy with the undaunted mettle 2 skill points passive and I didn't seem to get the extra Magika/health from the medium peice people say should apply.
