Stam Sorc

xNinJaxHaMst3rX

Hey guys

I'm really interested in a stam sorc at the moment. I play a Templar and am quite bored and was thinking of other possible characters. The two I'm quite interested in are magicka DKs and stam sorcs.
I don't need to hear they are bad (I know they are)* or just go DK or etc. All I want to know is what you guys know about them. I just want to know more about them as they interest me. Probably won't relevel anything any time soon anyway.

the one thing I do have to say is the whole WB spam as stam sorc seems a bit boring. (been there done that on my templar)

Thanks!


*More of bottom of the tier list rather than saying 'bad' yeah yeah

Hi,

I have both,
Magicka DK's are probably the most fun to play,
Yes they are not the strongest class but played properly and with the right build you can pretty much take a hell of a beating........

I love my Magicka DK......

I also have a stam sorc,
2H and Dual wield......

Totally different play style but the 2nd most fun of all my characters....

Roll both and enjoy both...

I started levelling one as I love sorcs generally...

But he's pretty much parked now as I too got v v bored of the wrecking blow spam.

There are no direct damage sorc abilities that scale off stamina... all you have are a couple of abilities which passively buff stuff... such as bound armor, surge etc.

SO you'll find that the weapon skills hit pretty hard... but you are just left with the weapon skills basically... so if wrecking blow spam bored you on a Stamplar then you won't find anything more fun on a stam sorc at the minute.

Thanks for the input guys.

I did hear magicka DKs are getting some sort of buff in the upcoming patch or something, so I'll definitely try out both to my best capability in the near future!

As a stamina sorc you'll mostly use stamina based weapons of course. So WB is your hardest hitting skill, but I use is mostly in PVE. In PVP you should have a look at Carve, Executioner, Critical Rush, Steel Tornado, Bombard/Acid Spray, Snipe and it's mophs, Posion Arrow, especially if you play in groups.

Don't forget that a sorc is a magicka class though (now I told you the secret ).

Critical Surge and Streak are must haves in PVP.
If someone needs a Negate, a stamina sorc can cast it.
Recently I've put Restraining Prison back on my skillbar.
Since these skills drain your Magicka, you might have a look at Thundering Presence (stamina morph), because it's really cheap once you have agility jewlery and even more so if you play in a CP campaign (i.e. not Azura) and spec for stamina cost reduction and recovery.

Bound Armament is nice as well, if you have the slots free for it (currently I only use it in PVE).
Dark Deal is nice as well, in group fights you always find a split second to use it, but it is kind of worthless in 1 vs 1. Might be worth it, if you get hit by an oil catapult nowadays.

As it is the case with all stamina builds, the damage ultimates are really inferior. Every magicka build can do these better, unfortunately this is true for Overload as well. Nevertheless for group play in PVP, have a look at Dawn Breaker (for the weapon damage), Negate (as mentioned), Barrier. IMHO the Werewolf Ulti is the best damage ulti for stamina builds and it is cheap for a sorcerer (Ulti cost reduction passive), but tell this one of these magicka based raid leaders...
