Looking for first VMA clear with MagSorc

I currently have a 388 CP stamDK who couldn't complete VMA pre Morrowind, stuck on round4, and I haven't been able to get the needed VO setup since. I want to try and clear it on my MagSorc instead. He is currently 47 without the undaunted skills or monster sets since he's been all PVP to this point. I plan to do all pledges tonight in order to hit 50. I will not try VMA until he hits 50 so he has 388 cp and max level gear.

Can anyone recommend some easy playstyles - skills/gear for a VMA clear? I noticed most people say MagSorc is the easiest to clear it with. I know there are guides out there but its easy crafted or BIS gear. I can do a combo of crafted and BOE gear since I have the gold. I can respec no problem so please offer up some assistance so i can finally get a clear. Thank you very much for any help!

    Necropotence + Willpower, random staff and monster set (Ilambris, Infernal Guardian, Grothdarr) is great. I think for just getting a first clear a pet sorcerer is your safest bet (use volatile familiar).

    I use Familiar and Matriarch and get 55000 scores, which is enough to get on the weekly leaderboard.

    I don't have access to a monster set, any second set recommendation?

    5 Necropotence + 5 Julianos would be pretty good for vMA if you're not using a monster set. Just make sure you have sharpened lightning staves (these could be non-set), and Divines traited gear. (Thief mundus stone) Use blue health/mag food.

    Bars
    1: Endless Fury, Empowered Ward, Volatile Familiar, Twilight Matriarch, Inner Light, Elemental Rage
    2: Liquid Lightning, Blockade of Storms, Volatile Familiar, Twilight Matriarch, Daedric Prey, Energy Overload
    OL: Power Surge, Dark Conversion, Volatile Familiar, Twilight Matriarch, Empowered Ward

    CP (max, spread points around until you get to max cp)
    49 Ele Expert, 49 Spell Erosion, 37 Elfborn, 75 Thaumaturge, 56 Bastion, 72 Ironclad, 75 Tenacity, 75 Arcanist, the rest can go wherever

    Drop dots at a near portal, tag a distant enemy with: Light Attack, Endless Fury, Heavy Attack. Dots will kill close enemies as you pick off far enemies. For bosses, drop dots and destro ult, heavy attack until dots run out, use Endless Fury at 20% health. Use OL on the Dwermer spider boss.

    Like dpencil1 said above, Necropotence and Julianos is a good combination without any monster set.
