Hi guys!

I am rerolling away from DK sadly as they are apparently getting the Nerf Hammer from God...which REALLY pisses me off.

I am not a fresh noob to this game and I have dappled SLIGHTLY with both the Sorc and NB up to level 15 each and wanted to know which is overall the better choice for SOLO / SMALL GROUP PVE.

I prefer to be honest Dual Swords Magicka builds as my preferred choice...I am not overly concerned with being the "Best DPS class" in the game I just want something fun and exciting to play.

I was thinking of a DW Magicka Sorc 1-50 + VR Ranks:
- Daedric Prey
- Crystal Frags
- Liquid Lightining
- Clannfear
- Twlight

OR

DW Magicka Nightblade:
- Shadowy Disguse
- Concealed Weapon
- Power Drain
- Grim Focus
- Impale

I am not sure which is the better solo leveler and PVER for solo Dolmens, Light trail runs and in general performance in 1.7...

Can someone help me please understand changes!

    I don't have much exp with sorcs, but I've been playing a caster nb for a few weeks now and am loving the survivability. I know you mentioned wanting to use dual swords for spell power, but you might want to try making one bar a resto staff for magicka regen purposes. I'm using a staff on both bars, but could easily end up putting dual weps on one. My skills are as follows.

    Single Target:
    Inner Light
    Structured Entropy
    Funnel Health (take the other morph if soloing)
    Impale
    Crippling grasp

    Soul Tether

    AOE:
    Inner Light
    Sap Essence
    Refreshing Path
    Healing Ward
    Siphoning Attacks

    Veil of Blades

    You sure don't have to worry survivability with this setup. I've been able to solo most public dungeons, dolmens and world bosses with this setup, and you can easily swap out some of those skills to better suit your playstyle. Hope this helps.

    That is almost exactly the same setup i have going. I too will be switching to DW once my Destruction Staves reach 50 though. More spell power!
