Melee Sorc

Mkill · February 2015

Hello. I'm starting only his adventure with TESO and generally browse, read the skills you attempt to select a different form of combinations for yourself. It seems to me to be an interesting combination of melee Sorce who used to dual wield or 2h, which supported by magic based mainly on skilach like Overload / Negate Magic, Lighting Form and can Surge. What do you think? Does it make sense, such a thing is even playable? In this or patch 1.6

Stamina sorcs are good. Look at this http://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/2015/02/02/battlemasters-corner--thunderous-destroyer and this build can be even more effective. And in 1.6 such builds will be even better (and overload will scale of stamina/weapon in stamina builds).

Hey hey, I was just thinking about that.

I've a V14 sorc magicka focused, I'll do good on 1.6 but I want to reroll with 1.6 and I'm still questioning what class to choose.

I wanted to do a templar but now I'm tempted to do another hybrid melee sorc.

I think about a spellsword, I dunno if the spell damage increase from 2H is a bug or not but if it's not, well, then it's a very interesting concept.

Basically you would run in 5 light, 2 med. First bar would be full of 2H abilities, second bar would be 2H too but with sorc abilities. AOE + Buff. You'll need Boung aegis (on both bar), thundering presence (I can't remember and can't test ATM but does both can stack?), lighting splash, empowered ward + annulment (light armor skill). It'll basically make you indestructible, even with a light armor.

On the first bar, go for surge + whatever 2H abilities to do a lot of DPS, medium will provide the stamina, and hopefully you need to find a way to keep magicka in order to keep sorc buff up. Can be costly and mana intensive.

This is just some ideas with the 1.6, I think it would be very powerful for solo levelling. Need to test DPS in trials tho.

Stamina sork should be in at least 5 med. May be 5med+hvy chest and lght belt will be good

Hang on...can I understand why though?

I just rerolled sorc because I heard something like this would be great for solo pve:

Thundering Presence
Deadric Curse (reduced explosion time)
Blood Craze
Mage's Wrath
Critical Surge

Overload

for a spell sword class.

Think cause of critical surge cooldown. (so they greatly reduced the only sorc healing). But I still think that some stamina build will be viable with non-class healing (smth like rally or blood craze).

Too bad it does not work the way I wanted it, because in any MMORPG you can not play a mage melee (preferably fists), which supports the magic, I do not think there such thing as a Shaman in WoW. Able to create a class that melee, preferably without arms and strengthen your body magic, something like Killua of HxH, Raikage with Nartuo or Natsu (FT) XD

Ok, turn overload on and enjoy.
