As far as HP 3k is a good starting point.. You'll meet some very skilled players running with less than 2500.
This. Many/most of Alacrity runs ~3.1-3.5k, some of us run as low as 2500 (Pixy was a prime example before he quit). Generally 3.2k, 500 impenetrable is your safe spot until you become more comfortable with your class/playstyle/build.
I miss Pixysticks, any chance of him returning?
This is what I was told as well, around 3k health and 400 to 500 impen.
S&B is not mandatory. Just because people are blabbing about it and joining the bandwagon doesn't mean you can't have an efficient build without it.dermottib14_ESO wrote: »2. Run sword and board. Its a stupid meta and i hope it changes, but you have to run it to survive.

You're a Sorc, you never need to win a fight. Your mission in life is to blinky blink through the fields and lead enemy raids back over your friends to get them (your friends) killed.
Hope that helps.

Everyone should bunny hop. Makes you less of a target and it's also what badasses do.
Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please please, please, PUH-lease continue to encourage folks to run around Cyrodiil with 3K or fewer HP.
Thank you!
I ran with less than 2k health for a long time, I never got killed in one shot.
What kind of attacks are you people doing to cause 2900 damage in one hit? The most I've ever done was maybe 1.5k.

I guess it's hard for you pros to understand that a new player(to cyrodiil) who dies quickly, is still going to die quickly, even with more health. If you die instantly with 2k health, there's more to your problem than simply the amount of health.
Or are you guys saying you instantly lose 2k health the second you start fighting? lol
