I don't wanna sit in mines and duel
What's a good set of skills and combos?
I'm having loads of fun on my sorc but I feel like I don't know what to do

    You could possibly switch it up with some destro staff abilities but then again, clench is bugged apparently; it can miss targets or something like that.

    Erm... use the environment to your advantage? even though that still involves mines. I was thinking of something like... luring your enemies into a cave/doorway and laying your mines down to trap them inside as you streak out. :D

    I like: to buff from surge,

    Then: hardened ward, curse, frag if procced, if not Daedric tomb, then usually frag, wrath, curse etc

    Curse and wrath plus either tomb or frag (tomb can be replaced with any spammable move to proc frag and keep up damae i.e. tangling webs) is really good burst.

    I really don't like mines and the sit and way mentality. My back up has streak, ward, dark conversion and blessing of restoration and surge. Streak and dark conversion allows for really good travel and escape, coupled with a high he heal makes for more mobility and survivability

    I like to use mines by streaking into a blob with ward and defensive rune, animation cancel the mines with a roll and streak out again with a refresh of ward and rune. Sometimes follow it up with an atronach to stun anyone not already stunned. Good way to split blobs, requires back-up. I only sit in mines when duelling a melee build.

    My favourite skill is mages wrath; heavy attack into curse, heavy attack into frags followed by light attack into mages wrath is enough to finish some people off in a satisfying explosion. Most won't just sit there and take that though so some streak stuns and melee-range frags will be needed. Mages wrath will save the day though, just use it every 4 secs in your rotation and eventually there will be an explosion ;)

    Element of surprise I guess, nothing will catch your opponent off guard more than playing in a way they didn't anticipate.

    Tis a great skill, but I find it more fun to use it as offensive aoe. It is to a sorc what caltrops are to a stam dk I guess; a staple skill that does what it says on the tin.

    A good combo is Entropy, Cruse, weave, force pulse or crushing shock, weave and try to proc your frag and of course keep your shields up. just rinse and repeat. It's not hard to play sorc. Sorc is probably the easiest of the classes to play. DK was when the game started but that was just because they were SUPER OVER POWERED then lol

    Defensive Posture is the reflect correct? B4 TG it's used because you couldn't reflect a reflect, so you would frag, DK bounce back, you bounce again they get nailed. It effectively pwned flappy wings.

    I personally never did it

    Oh btw, refreshing a hardened ward is usually enough to by pass healing, the set bonus from having 2 weapons and the max magicka glyph (remember 10.1 max magicka is equal to 1 spell dmg) typically can make up a bit of the difference
