Call me a noob or tell me to L2P but I got 34k magicka with food and I was thinking I had a lot, I don't know how getting more would be physically possible unless I had about 300 more CP. Yes I run Inner Light, I have all gold magicka enchants, all vr14+ armor, I even have Willpower stuff.

    do you have a race passive that gives 10% more magicka. Do you have mage guild abilities slotted? If your a NB, do you have a siphon ability slotted. If your a sorc/NB, have you considered running necropotence set that gives magicka for pets? CP will defs boost your magicka up. Do you have undaunted mettle 2/2? Do you run the mage?

    1. race is Khajiit, I hate high elves.
    2. Yes, I have meteor, entropy, magelight, etc and all the passives perked.
    3. I have some of the vr12, not equiped though, and necropotence really gimps DPS when you can't have MK or a spell dmg armor set.
    4. I still need to get a level in the Undaunted line before I can get it to 2/2, I have a heavy Molag kena and I am currently leveling up both medium and heavy armors to 50.

    600 CP will give you 19.9% more health and 19.7% more Magicka and Stamina. I also think that they are multiplicative over the rest % increase maximum stats but they do not include Food buff.
    Because I can!

    Would putting every attribute into magicka crush my survivability?

    People complain I have low health as it is with 8 into health and structured entropy slotted.

    Here's another question:

    Would skipping DPS gear like MK, Molag Kena, etc be worth it to ditch for max magicka gear? It doesn't mean much but even with my low magicka I still do veteran pledges, trials, etc. without issues.

    Yes you would those players are know as "glass DPS" and sure there survivability sucks but they don't care when they got that massive DPS..... either though they die in 1 hit..... and for some reason always have to be first into a room and aggro all the enemies before the tank can then immeatly die and start to complain how heals isn't doing there job or tank is..... Never be a glass DPS it is not worth it.

    Well I don't run first into room but I've played with glass cannon type guys before and their DPS is double mine and they never seem to die, unless it's because usually they are a magicka DK.

    Then there shield stacking which is nice but again not worth it cause as soon as the shields drop one tiny poke and dead. Just add some reinforce to some of those light armor pieces and a few points into health and you should be fine while still having atleast 30K or 35K magicka.

    You should have 17k health...CP helps with magicka bbut you should get all v16 gear as the enchants on it give about 200 more magicka...you should be well over 36k magicka that i have on my khajit templar healer...but if you were breton or high elf you would get to 45k magicka easily...

    Well as a sorc you don't even really need to shield stack with Hardened Ward in PvE, and the thing I don't get is I had a healer complain about my low health in a vEH pledge, we did the whole thing with no deaths, I just kept my shield up 90% of the time like I normally do.

    Wouldn't going all into magicka actually increase the strength of Ward?

    If the tank is doing his job your survavability should be fine as long as you are not standing in red and avoiding attacks...I min maxed with all points in magicka with 17k health, all light armor and have had no issues clearing any game content...the min maxing allows me to be top 5 in every leaderboard...

    If you are situationally aware it is easy to play with full DPS focus...as for being a glass canon I dont believe these exist in this game...There are just bad players that dont dodge roll, block, or stay out of red...they can have triple the mitigation and will still die because they dont have situational awareness...Luckily with practice and desire those players can always become good...

    I have about 16k-17k health right now, so I must be doing ok with it, I want vr16 gear but I don't have near the mats to do it (Don't have the IC DLC yet), and from what I hear, the non garbagy sets are BoP and rarely drop so I will probably be sticking to MK and Molag Kena shoulder for awhile, unless they fix the buggy Kag crafted set.

    I don't really have a choice, 120 mats just for one shirt, I have maybe 30 of them so far. Considering ATM I can do all the same PvE content at vr16 and have no issues except when the lag kicks in, I am not going to go and pay 300k just to craft vr16 gear, and then make it all Legendary with Legendary enchants which would be a lot more.

    I don't have more than 600 CP yet and I maintain 40k+ magicka on all my toons. I think what is seriously hurting you is the lack of a magicka racial passive. My Sorcerer is an Altmer, DK a Dunmer, and Templar and Nightblade are Bretons; all give some sort of bonus to magicka. You also need to take into consideration the big difference enchants on a vr16 piece of armor make compared to a vr14 piece of armor. Also, set bonuses really make a huge difference. You should be able to pour most points into magicka as long as you maintain about 17k health.

    What are you talking about? Glass cannon specs do great as long as resources are managed wisely and the player is situationally aware. A GOOD glass cannon is different from one who doesn't know what they're doing, which is the point I think you're trying to make, but you worded it wrongly. Glass Cannon does not mean a player is bad, but a player can be a bad glass cannon, make sense? My Templar is entirely a glass cannon healer/dps and usually is alive last or right before the tank goes down (though I try to rarely let my group wipe).

    That is true but doesn't help when they put rapids on them selves and just charge leaving the rest of us behind at the starting wayshrine in the dungeon cause they want to get through the dungeon as fast as they can...... Yea actually had some one like that before
