The Wannabe Sorc - I Guide on how to be a Sorc on Nightblade
This build immitates a Sorc build as close as possible. For all the NB being a Sorc at heart.
Thanks for tuning in if you have any questions feel free to ask.
Much thanks for all the help theorycrafting this build to @Domardal and @AlfonsoV
Stats:
These are my stats atm with bufffood and mostly purple gear.
Race:
Dunmer:
With the recent buffs there is simply no other race worth it over Dunmer.
Mundus:
Thief:
This is the best choice atm. it gives you 11% more crit without divines. Especially with Scathing Mage there is no way around this one.
Gear:
Gear choices:
Skills:
This is where it gets interesting. The bars reassemble the meta build for Sorcs as close as possible.

Gear choices:
Nerien´eth:
The shoulder can be found in Daily pledge chests in Gold and Silver keys. The head dropps from the last boss in Veteran Crypt of Hearts.
Together with Force Pulse as main spammable its a really good set.
Scathing Mage:
This set is obtained by farming Veteran Imperial City Prison over and over again. Its a really good set so try to get it. If you dont want to farm it Twiceborn Star is a good replacement too.
Infallible Aether:
With the changes to the Minor Slayer buff this set is really strong. Try to get a Sharpend Staff and the jewelery.
Maelstrom Staff:
Can be dropped in the chest after killing the last boss in Veteran Maelstrom Arena. Can´t be traded. Try to get a sharpened one. Precise is also good.

Now my magic NB is heaps of fun and dose more damage and brings a lot of utility to any group.0 -

✭✭✭✭I think of my Dunmer magicka DKs as fire mages.
Never tried doing a NB that way, but you are giving me ideas!
Thanks!Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.***Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis0 -

✭✭✭✭I get the point. We have a better sorc build than a sorc can do, doing more DPS than a typical sorc. With far less effort and pain involved. On a Nightblade.
I'm laughing so hard, and also dying a little on the inside.
Good build, I've always said NB's get better passives.
Another example of terrible @Wrobel class design in action.

✭Why prolonged suffering and not cripple? Or both (instead of Proxi det) or might use Sap Essence (kinda like Elemental ring for spam aoe skill).0 -
Xeven✭✭✭✭✭
✭Eh. This isn't a SorcBlade.
A SorcBlade uses Swallow Soul in place of Crushing Shock. Cripple in place of Curse. Reach/Spectral in place of Frags, and Harness in place of Hardened.
This is a PvE build, the above is a SorcBlade.
