Need advice for PvE pet sorc (2 pet) build

chaoseater99

My main is a PvE 2pet sorc (altmer)
I was running initially Necropotence + Mother's Sorrow +Illambris with all divines purple gear all (only blue jewelry) and infused weapons.
My target dummy parse was around 22k dps.
Switched to Necro+Siroria+Illambris
Now I can hit 24k

I am 370CP, and I see people hitting over 40k dps. Is the CP making such a huge difference? Coz my gears are mostly the same as end game ones (besides maybe one or two with wrong traits)...
My skills and rotation is same as alcast https://alcasthq.com/eso-magicka-sorcerer-pet-build-pve/

Any advice is highly appreciated

Is your CP distribution similar to Alcast’s?

It could be a combination of little things ... low CP, blue/purple gear, rotation.

Yes, have been following Alcast's build, along with his CP distributions for 300CP mark so far...

Without a video of you doing the parse it is hard to give you specific tips, but it could be a couple of things. Have/Are you...?
- made your weapons legendary
- got the correct glyphs on weapons/armor/jewelry (flame, shock, mag, spell damage)
- using the correct food (Max health + Max mag)
- weaving light attacks between your skills
- animation cancelling your attacks (a bar swap right after elemental blockade for example)
- using the correct rotation
- using elemental drain on the target dummy
- using spell power potions (lady 's smock + cornflower + water hyacint)

That's all I can think of at this point

I don't have my current setup on me right now but I'll point you in the way of @Deloth_Vyrr for now with his CP/Gear Setup here:

In terms of rotation, He uses something I would consider to be a bit complicated for newer players, but the DPS it achieves is very respectable, and also provides one more group benefit than the one I'm going to give you.

Here is his video on the PTS (DPS will change as this is an older iteration with broken gear, as well as this is not live, but the rotation is the same)

Now, for you I would recommend this setup instead, you'll probably find it easier:

For the bars, use the same setup that Alcast recommends except drop the twilight tormentor for the matriarch (I know, sounds like a damage loss but trust me, the damage increase is hardly noticable and you'll stop caring when you see how good those heals are from the matriarch)

For the rotation do this >
Liquid Lightning > la > Elemental Blockade > swap > ha > daedric prey > ha > volatile familiar > swap > la > repeat

With his CP and my rotation I pull about 45k DPS on live. If you're on PC/NA I can help you on the server and walk you through it if you want.

TY, unfortunately am on PS4 EU.....
Also
daedric prey > ha > volatile familiar >...
Shouldn't that be a la since I would want the pet ability to hit when curse is up???

I also tried using C-frag, but its a bit hard to keep track of procs during a rotation.....

Also, I do run Matriarch over Tormentor in most contents unless I got good healers to get my back

My weapons are purple...
Both bar are with fire enchants(purple glyphs), front bar infused but back bar still on precise
running witchmother's brew
I am weaving la between abilities, and using animation cancelling with alcast's rotation
and also using ele drain...

didnt use spell pots...

factor those with my 350ish CP, is my DPS running fine for now, or am I low... thats where am confused....

Also 5/7 body pieces are divines (1 small & 1 medium yet to transmute)
I run max magica mundus

If you have two fire enchants, one is wasted. I know that.

What I don't know is another basic thing: Does Elemental Blockade proc all enchants while the other bar is active, or just the ones that don't require specific targets?

Also: Gold weapons make a difference of about 200 spell power, which is like 3% of so of non-pet DPS.

damn i can't get higher than 37-38k. Using Necro + Destro + Ilambris + MA lightning (infused Berserk).
Lover mundus, i play only in PUG dungeons so tank with Alcosh is stupidly rare thing.

Though i must admit - even NB with bloody Siroria can't outdps (or very little) me in tough dungeon fights where you need to move and pet sorc is hell of mobile dps'er. Kinda good balance.

So i rather prefer mobile survivalist pet sorc with 37-40k dps, dumb rotation and easy-to-get gear.

Weapon AoE ability from back bar procs back bar enchantment.
Same enchantments shares cooldown. In other words when you have two fire enchantments, it is the same as if you had only one. If you are using illambris I would recommend going fire and shcok enchantments, because fire and lightening thingies do not share cooldown (they can proc together)

In addition to what others have said, I personally get more DPS with the theif stone than with the mage.

If you feel you can sustain well enough, you could switch Witchmother's to a bi-stat food. I run 1-2 heavy attacks in my rotation so I run with bi-stat.

Also, if you can't afford, or don't want to use, spell power pots, I recommend adding Power Surge into your rotation for the Major Sorcery.
