Hi All,

I have been conducting some rather extensive testing on the PTS and believe I have arrived at the BIS mSorc rotation for PVE in end game trials:
TSKKSM5.jpg

Additionally, there is a more complicated version for max DPS assuming you are in a "pet-friendly" environment:

If you have any questions about the rotation, please let me know. I aim to please and will continue to update the build. :smiley:

    Looks to be the meta, I am thinking heavy lightning attacks front bar combined with heavy flame attack back bar. Then switch back and forth. When i have have a pot up I will use a skill or two.

    So, wait. Is it "Heavy, Heavy, Heavy"? Do I weave any Heavy attacks into my rotation? Do I need to clip my Heavy attacks with a Heavy attack?

    This feels really complicated. I guess on the plus side, the drinking bird that used to manage my old rotation can now just focus on pet management for me.

    Apparently they just said it on Eso live. I was not able to watch, but my discord is exploding. I actually think there is some misinformation running around. I dont think its as bad as I did, but its still a nerf. I read they were nerfing the proc chance to 10%, but what they said was that they were nerfing the bonus damage to 10% (from 20%). Admittedly, not nearly as bad as I thought.

    Switching bars would require you to click and extra button every few seconds at the cost of .5 calories. This would require you to eat additional potato chip once every 5 hours thus decreasing rotation efficiency by .025%

    I definitely bought a few just in case. Although, if elegant really becomes BIS, it means that Heavy Attacks have in fact become meta. If that's the case, I will probably play through Morrowind for the memories and call it quits after that.

    Not sure why people think elegant will be a thing...whybwould you equip a set that buffs a single part of your dps by a small amt. For sorcs the meta will still remain necro, for DKs and the such nothing will change either...for elegant to be better than the next best set heavy attacka would have to be something akin to 40-50% of their dps, whoch wont ever be the case woth all of the DoTs available to botj of the classes.

    Question, Senpai:
    I'm on console and have never seen the thing you masterfully painted. Can I cheese that thing? Or am I now forever doomed to be a low-life dps and can only restore my honour by commiting Sudoku, despite my inability to count to the number that comes after eight?

    How about just adapting and using a set for magika recovery or switching to witches brew?

    I plan to use amberplasm plus astronanch for pvp. And thinking about 3x or 4x twighlight remedy for pve. Same as moondancer just 126 recovery instead of 967 max magika. Also have gone off using pets for pvp. I have found it's just as easy to get super high max magika (50k) by using 4x necropotence and mage light + bound agies. Still room for mages wrath and curse on back bar
