Hello all, sorry for my bad english but Im too good :)
So I wanna ask more experienced sorcerer players that, what should I do to do my sorcerer more survivability. I actually play dualwield/resto, my stats:

MAX MAG: 41K
MAX HEALTH: 21K
MAX: STAM: 9,5
Mag Recovery: 1247 (this is enough for me dont want more)
Spell Resist: 16,4k
Physical Resis: 10,5k

I pack full champions in bastion, 10 hardy 10 elem. defender but I think I do something wrong, because really my sorcerer is like paper in duel. For me sometimes sorcerer doesnt have good survivability. What can I do to do my sorcerer stronger? Any tips? Or just I need to play more this build.

    Switch to purple food to up your max stamina a bit - use stamina wisely in duels and invest in tri-pots to avoid being unable to break a cc.

    Keeping your shields active during duels is priority #1 - Sorcs ARE paper without a shield active.

    Hope this helps!

    Purple food is better for pvp as it gives you more stamina. 12-13k stamina is good for pvp. Putting 100cp into bastion isn't the most efficient way to spen your cp. I have 78cp in bastion for a nice round 21% boost, then the rest I split between hardy and elemental defender, and even thick skinned. I have 30+ cp each in hardy and ele defender, and about 10 in thick skinned. These cp trees apply to your shields too so you're still making your ward stronger by spending cp here. The difference between 78cp in bastion and 100cp in bastion is only 4%, which is why I don't think it's worth it. You could even put less than 78cp into bastion and not notice the difference.

    The other thing I would point out is that dual wield/resto in pvp is actually harder to pull off than destro/resto. Being able to weave medium attacks between skills helps put pressure on your opponent. If you can't light/heavy attack from range you give your opponent more time to think and react to your offence, and also find time to go offensive on you. Weaving light/heavy attacks between skills also helps to build ultimate and return magicka. Just something to think about.

    You can run DW/resto if:

    1. You're burst is strong enough to quickly kill (more a gank build)
    2. You have a great regen stat (lich set for example)
    Or
    3. You use your resto staff heavy/and or/ something like dark conversion

    I have before, my dw main was Cuse, Hardened, Tomb (when it was good and actually instant), Wrath, and Frag main bar. With all moves (at the time) instant and animation cancellable the dps was sky high.

    I prefer my pet build now

    Most of my advice has been given already, but i put some cp into stam recovery and tumbling both to 10%, helps a lot with stamina sustain. The rest go more balanced between magic recovery and cost reduction, but more into cost.

    I put 0 into bastion as the difference from 0-100 is roughly 2,500 shield points, i have the rest in hardy/elemental.

    For the blue tree i have 100 in elemental damage, 10% for staff damage, and the rest in spell erosion.

    I also like lightning staff as it cannot be dodged. Curse, detonation and mages wrath also cannot be blocked.

    I use 5xkagrenacs / 3xwillpower / 3xworm cult
    39-41k magica
    3k spell damage with surge
    1400 recovery w/mundus

    14k stamina
    700 recovery
    1300+ CP | Lørd Wrath | - Sorcerer - Palatine - Grand Master Crafter - 30000 Achievement Points
    Launch Player - PC - NA - EP
