PvE sorceror build

DaveW4 · September 2015

Hi all.

I'm not far off of v16 now and was wondering what direction I should take with regards to gear;

I'm looking to probably just go straight v14 seducer set just to get me started, will make them blue and stick the usual enchants on it until I further my loot.

But what next? I'm assuming I should dive straight in veteran dungeons and get them done to see what drops, but does anyone have an idea as to what gear I should be looking for in particular? I'm in process of setting up an end game PVE guild and have several very good members so I don't really want to let the side down when it comes to my dps. Have looked on several skill guides and the one I've been paying particular attention to is Dymence's build guide : http://tamrielfoundry.com/topic/2-0-1-endgame-pve-sorcerer-dps-petless-build-by-dymence/ however I've not asked other Sorcerors their stance on this!

I play this game a fair amount so ideally what I'm after is something to get me started at v16 which isn't amazing, then another gear set for me to aim for.

Thanks a lot in advance!

I run 4 piece Martial Knowledge, 4 Magnus craftable set, 2 Adroitness (neck and waist), and two Cyrodiil of light rings.

Spell damage is at 2,106 unbuffed and 1,480 magicka recovery. it really works for me. I rarely run dungeons but with that set i've always been able to handle dungeons at higher levels than me. I'm sitting at vr15 at the moment.

v16 sorc. I run 4 piece martial knowledge, 4 piece healer, and 2 piece cyrodiils light. If i get the engine guardian head and shoulders i will drop the cyrodiils light and just run 4 piece healer. After buffs, my spell damage sits at about 2.9k.

excellent thanks, just it sure on my dps even when I'm geared up, seen dk and nb absolutly kicking ass in dungeons and it doesn't feel like I pull much damage :-/

Where do I find martial knowledge and healer sets? Tried googling but I always manage to pull up posts that are years old!

DannyLV702 · September 2015

i forgot to mention, my gear is mostly vr11 so my spell damage should go up a lot more after i upgrade haha. after buffs im sitting at 2.6 spell damage

DaveW4 · September 2015

So that stuff is from trials isn't it? What about before that then? Should I just stick with seducer v14 and whatever else I find in vet dungeons until then?

Martial Knowledge i recommend you buy at guild stores, they are really cheap! Don't spend more than 5k for any single piece. As for the healer, im not too sure about that one. Just check MULTIPLE guild stores before buying so you can get an idea of what they should cost.

Any recommendations on what particular items should be what set? Cheers again

DannyLV702 · September 2015

just depends on the looks you want plus what you can actually find. other than that it doesn't really matter how you mix it up, you'll have the same effects in the end

I bought healer from guild stores. rings are expensive so im running necklace(15k) shoes(5k) sash(4k) and hat(5k). Martial knowledge can be found at any chests honestly. go to cracked wood cave, grind for a few hours and you'll get it. make sure you're v14 tho
