I'm vet 6 with my sorc and keeping an eye out at guild stores for what I need.

So what will be the best combination?

4 piece martial knowledge vet 14
2 piece torug's pact vet 16
3 piece adrointness vet 14
2 piece Cyrodiil's light vet 14

Or

4 piece martial knowledge vet 14
2 piece torug's pact vet 16
2 piece adrointness vet 14
3 piece willpower vet 16

I'm assuming the later as there's an extra vet 16.

Or is there an even better combination?

    Use MK until you can get your hands on 5pc Kagrenac's (provided they fix it).

    What's the fan fair with the kraneracs set other than Deltia talked about it on a video? It's almost a 40 spell power loss at 5pc vr16 vs Mk vr14 4pc ? I just honestly curious cause I've ran the math u get less sp and use an extra gear slot. Just wondering I'm trying to boost mine also and it seems even the new sets in dungeons aren't a big upgrade. Am I missing something ?

    Much more magica for v16 gear and 10 magica = 1 spellpower
    If your group is bigger than 6 members gain 75% damage reduction.

    Write this on the back of your box and see how many sales you get!

    You won't get any new PvP players until this archaic AoE crap is fixed.
    I for one won't resub until:
    1.) You fix lag.
    2.) You remove AOE caps we voted against.
    3.) 12 months have passed (this is how long we've waited for you to 'get with it')[/b]

    Are you sure ? Why doesn't sp go up when you consume a stat boost , 5k magic would give 500sp ? Last night I tinkered with it and my sp was my basic from gear + weapon + bonuses. My magic amount didn't seem to really affect it. I toyed with it for about 3 hours. I wish there was clearer info on how things currently work. Most the online info is way dated

    You're trading spell damage for sustainability, which seems to be the "new ZoS meta" post-IC. Also you get a survivability boost because of Armor/Spell Resist values and the Health Bonus, as well as more slots for V16 glyphs, which give a ton of magicka.

    If you really wanted to stay MK, then you'd be better off farming Overwhelming Surge but then again lol @ the drop rates.

    Right now I'm running 1x Molag Kena, 3x Torugs, 4x MK, 3x Willpower (all Healthy because I like to live). Once I go Kagrenac's I'm pretty sure I can push 40k magicka on my Dunmer NB with around 22k health.

    Magicka does not literally increase spell power in terms of char sheet. But, magicka does increase the overall damage of a skill or staff attack, the ratio of which works out to be something like 10.46 magicka is equivalent to 1 spell power. So, sustainability aside, a set bonus of 120 SP is better than 970 magicka (ignoring other variables) so if you lose 40 SP but gain approx 500 magicka, in terms of raw damage, you come out ahead

    Overwhelming Surge + Willpower Jewelry + fill up with undaunted shoulders + helm (Molag Kena) and Torug.

    Kagrenac's Hope is nice as interlude while you collect Surge. The interlude may last a few years concerning the drop rate.

    ...but there is a thread here on the forum where somebody called Kagrenac's Hope buggy at moment. I haven't tested it, but you should take almost double damage at moment while wearing it....

    If this is true it's the most awesome bug ever.

    Spell damage=(Gear+Apprentice(Divines?)+Molag Kena [2P]+Scathing Mage[5P]*(Surge+Expert Mage+Offensive scroll bonus)

    Seems like a good formula. insert whatever you need.

    4x Overwhelming Surge.
    2x Torug's.
    3x Willpower
    2x Molag Kena.

    It requires you to keep Kena up which is easy with Overload as Sorc and tricky but possible without Overload. This is a lot of spell damage though.

    I am still using 4x MK due to having terrible luck with drops but the difference in spell power itself is very small, mostly the difference is in max magicka.
