Tips for a sorc running around sewers on solo?

Lord_Ejl

What skills are you using for handling both mobs and players?

Gear etc, you can't really crit in IC, is that true?

My best tip for sewer Sorcs is to slot Defensive Rune on your off bar. Just remember to cast it after every fight, and it will help protect you from gankers until you start your next fight.

Try mines to protect your arse and always keep your shield up also lightning form will help against melee gankers and cloakers.other than that if you see a corpse stop sneak and detect potion.

I just run around the city. I use my PvE build.

Hardened Ward, streak are a must.

Invis potion goes a long way, with speed boost

Haven't had a fight in weeks tho

Hardened ward i'm using yes, haven't been able to put streak on my bar yet, Have to start using it.

Is there a way to dodge meteor? And if i came across reflect, how as a sorc, can i effectively hurt the dude then?

You can't really dodge meteor, but you can block it. As a sorc you can streak out of the AoE DoT instantly. When I'm on my DK, sorcs usually burst me down with inevitable detonation, mines, curse, stun me just before wings wears off then frag.

The best move IMO against a reflect DK is.... Daedric Tomb! But its gonna get changed

It was insta cast, spammable, unreflectable, comparable dmg to frag... and hardly used. I pwned many a dk with this unsuspecting move.

Until TG or PTS, it's my secret awesomeness

Mage light, mines, wards, lightning form, streak, line of sight

Ok, now we had a group of 5 enemies, all using stuns after one another. How to avoid that? My sorc ran out of stamina so fast

I love that move... sure I get crap for using it until I do more DPS than the 5 miners who have to get the tank to change direction

Buy the Healing Potions from the PvP vendors. They have the Immovable quality which prevents a fair amount of the stun moves such a Wrecking Blow (though not all of them). As someone mentioned above, Defensive Rune will (at least momentarily) tie down one of the ambushers. If you're getting CC'ed a lot, remember Streak will still move you, (and stun your attackers) to get you away until the CC wears all. Use the various morph of Encase to CC them back (one of which slows and the other does damage). Crushing Shock from the Destruction Staff will interrupt players casting their stun abilities, though this is hard to do accurately. Finally, putting a lot of CP into reducing CC/Stun time is a good play if you have it to spend.

Against the NPC mobs in IC, I use Defensive Stance from the Sword & Board bar as it reflects (and stuns the caster of) incoming magic projectiles. If I handle things correctly in a fight with NPCs, one gets caught in the Defensive Rune, one stuns himself because of Defensive Stance and then I'm fighting 1 on 1 or 1 on 2 and can take care of business without major concerns.
