The new Sorc Meta!

Papachico

I present to you the new PvP MagSorc meta:

5x amberplasm (100% up), strong on magsorc for the stam stustain and with healing being nerfed by 20% and amberplasm getting health regen this is OP if you use shields.
5x armor master (backbar proc 1h and shield),
1x perfected master destro (frontbar proc), i mean who doesn't want an extra 700 spelldamage on top of juicy cost reduction on a spammable CC.
2x pirate skeleton, i mean *** do you care about less healing received you are a sorc you have shields

Shhhh dont mention perfected master destro, will be fun when they forget to nerf it.

Destructive touch skill is kinda meh tho, magsorcs bars already pretty full. Im more worried about the zaan buff lol. Hope the necromancer and warden nerfs come next patch

question: why would any mag sorc use one handed weapon instead of stafs on both bars?

I'm thinking about running this on my... just kidding, nerf sorc

Magsorc is only class in the game which can run zero damage sets and still be able to kill majority of targets on "OP" stam we need at least 2 damage sets to have solid burst.

But you don't need sustain sets. Quite the contrary, you can lower your sustain with NMA just fine.

Ill just wait until week 3-4 of PTS, by then they will have nerfed all the outliers probably. Stuhn. master destro etc.

Master destro+stuhns on magplar is also looking like a juicy burst setup with shock reach into toppling+cresent, well well :P

Block mitigation while streaking away and spamming pet heal? Getting stam from heavy attack? Extra mag for shield size?

FrancisCrawford

What do pet sorcerers in PvP use spell power for?

D3N7157

To buff the damage of their burst? What kind of question is that, my current build has 47,5k Magicka on front bar and 3,1k spell damage. It’s not like every sorc plays with 1,6k spell dmg bc they can’t sustain damage enchants on rings/necklace. Keep in mind backbar sets like lich and spell strategist exist and are about to make comeback of a century. Say hit to getting rekt with 10k frags

Yeah, this balances things out
But at least on magsorc you have option to build into even higher damage because of class in-built damage passives and ranged gameplay.

And with nerf to Bloodspawn nord's resistances won't be enough...

All classes have damage passives and there is no ranged gameplay, as there is no stun for range.
Stamina skills hit harder and cost less. Weapon and spell damage is stronger as a set bonus than max stat. Stamina builds will always hit harder if built properly.
