Looking for help with my sorcerer's armor build

Athas24 · March 2015

So, it looks like instead of the ancient way of doing 2 heavy 5 light, I'm going to benefit most from being fully clothed in light armor. That being said, which sets do people think I should look for. I'm NOT pet spec and won't be. I typically use destruction staves but sometimes when doing solo quests I go with 1h and shield to work on that skill. I plan to do this with various weapons to increase their skill lines in case I ever want them. Anyway, thoughts on my armor/ jewelry that I should go out and get tonight?

I want to get all fancy!

I was running all light armor until I realized I was missing out on some nice passives from the other armor classes of medium and heavy. So I changed to 5 light, one medium and one heavy. In addition the undaunted Mettle passive gives an Increase to your Max Health, Stamina and Magicka by 1% per type of Armor (Heavy, Medium, Light) that you have equipped. Level 2 of that passive gives 2%. One thing I have learned is the more buffs you can get the better off you are in the long run.

Thanks @Palidon ! I ended up crafting all light and doing the Magicka Furnace set with the Gift of the Magnus set (both full 5 piece sets). So far every time I get low on hp or magicka I'm able to rocket myself back up to full fairly quick.
