Help with build? sorc/dps

Hello! I have had the game since January and have spent the majority of my time questing solo and doing fine. I've only recently started dungeoning and I'd really like to up my stats to better pull my weight as a DPS in vet dungeons. I do alright, but I feel like I could be doing a lot better. I was wondering if I could get some help with my build. I'm definitely PvE - I literally never do PvP currently. I've read a bunch online about builds but there's a lot out there and I get easily overwhelmed with the wealth of information so I thought it might help to talk about my specific character.
I'd like some help with how to up my spell damage, what gear and what enchants or traits, what I should put on my bars, where my champ points should go, etc. Basically the whole shebang. Thanks. :smile:

    Pretty much the best you can get for a tested build, it is not fun, but you will be able to play well through PvE end game content with it.

    Thanks! I've had my eye on that post - do you think this is still sustainable after the DB patch/changes?

    For single target DPS, sure... I think he only uses Ward and Surge on his defensive builds... It will require good timing on using Ward, but it should still be possible to use that exact build...

    While I attempt to get the kena pieces, what is a good craftable set that I could be using instead in the meantime?

    This is the most current versions of @YoloWizard s build. I would run 5x twice born star (chest, waist, legs, feet, hands) and 3-4x julianos (head, shoulders, weapons) 3x willpower (jewelry) until your get the dropped gear. For mundus run theif and shadow. If you already have 5 scathing than run that for sure. If not twice born star is a VERY close second.

    You want all willpower jewellery with magic (maybe 1 healthy) with spell damage encahnts.

    Dual weild turogs swords on back bar I used to have mages wrath, liquid lightening, crit surge bound agis and ward with overload ultimate.

    Wouldn't bother with 2 piece kenna myself may be shoulders with turog head and staff ( sharpened after TdB launches) for extra spell damage, if you realy want to use a monster set Nerieneth is hard to beat on a sorc.

    Nothing wrong with julianous as there is about 1% difference between it and TBS myself I found I did better in julianous and tbh I think a magic nb gains more from TBS than a sorc. The debate still continues which is the better set and probably comes down to rotation.

    Scathing mage is a good set but again a magic nb will get the most out of this set .

    Edit champion points,you will want to max out elemental expert , put 46 in Elfborn ond a couple say 5 in spell erosion then put the rest in thermatauge.

    Max out magician to reduce spell cost then put the rest in arcanist for magic recovery

    red ones I split equally between hardy and elemental defender.

    This was for Pve.

    hmmm, guessing he dropped the second piece of kena because of all the magicka cost increase on everything...
