If you want a Sorc build that is transferable between both PvE and PvP, I can tell you what I've been running lately to good effect.
2 Maw of the Infernal
5 Necro
4 Spinner (or anything that gives 2-4 set bonuses you like)
Front bar: Infused Lightning Spinner's w/Shock glyph
Back bar: Infused Lightning vMA w/Flame glyph
1. Endless Fury, Inner Light, Volatile Familiar, Twilight Matriarch, Empowered Ward, Thunderous Rage
2. Liquid Lightning, Blockade of Storms, Volatile Familiar, Twilight Matriarch, Daedric Prey, Energy Overload
Overload: Power Surge, Dark Conversion, Volatile Familiar, Twilight Matriarch, Boundless Storm
Lover stone, Blue health/mag food. 37 Elfborn 49 Ele Expret, 46 Erosion, 9 Staff Expert 20 MaA, 75 Thaumaturge.
It's a very different approach to magSorc in PvP than the standard high mobility burst mode. This is intended to go toe to toe with tanky melee opponents who think they can eat your burst and laugh (which is basically 80% of BG players these days). It's about area denial, whether holding a point or defending a relic, or just raining lightning on the huddled clump of deathmatch fighters. You stack Liquid Lightning, Blockade of Storms, Familiar Pulse, and Lightning heavy attack and people are going to melt. They get hit by the Minor Vulnerability and Off-Balance debuffs. One target gets focused with Prey and is the target of th Heavy attack, so all pets (including Maw) are focusing them down for 55% more dmg. Endless Fury is ready to execute and the Prey explosion and Familiar stun are the little surprises waiting to send them from mild concern into sheer panic. And on top of all that, Thunderous Rage is available to take the hurt to 11.
It's definitely a fun build if you're into that kind of playstyle.
Lich > riposte imo, sustain is much needed. Also cwc staff is trash unless it's perfected (even then meh) and gl with getting that.
Now I think you need more than 2k if running destro (2.3-2.4k seems about right) - can get away with less on DW. But then I don't dark-exchange.. I tend to find that when you need it, you just can't use it.
well you are right. i find myself in longlasting and intense battles, where i dont have time to darkdeal, running dry.
thats only a rare thing but it defenately happens sometimes. im playing my sorc this way: when i feel the enemy can outsustain me and im in danger to run dry i just get my ass out of the fight with streak. works 99% of the time
