Mag dk vs Mag sorc

jam3s4343 · July 2018

So i am starting a Mag main, love my stamplar but want a reason to grab up all these books lieing around also love the mag sorc and dk. I plan to run them in mostly battlegrounds maybe some openworld with a buddy or two so no huge groups. I also want them to be able to run vet dungeons and trials with little trouble. Which of these two classes works the best. Seems that everywhere i read the edge goes to mag dk.

Sorc= typical glass canon with high mobility
Magdk= dot damage/ decent healing/ less mobility

I say pick the one that caters most to the playstyle you like.

Keep in mind that mag dk can be played as a ranged specialized fire mage as well. So if you don't mind the lack of mobility, then it's pretty good.

id prefer more mobility. I went with sorc for that reason also the shields were a plus.

Yep sorc is total glass cannon with 18-20K shields and a skill that heals you for 2.5K each time you crit (~50% spell crit on s typical PvE build, any skill ca crit so in practice that's about once a second since that's the cooldown) and gives you Major Sorcery. Also you can do all damage from maximum distance since none of your skills are melee (except Boundless Storm but nobody runs that for DPS).

I main a Stam DK but also have: Mag Sorc, Stam Warden, Mag Templar, and Stam NB. I prefer using the DK over all of those (granted it's stam not magicka). I don't know how people like to play magsorc with always having to keep your shields up, it gets annoying for me. But that's the beautiful thing about this game, there's generally a type of class that complements every play style. Just experiment a bit.
