[Video] Short PvP clip: Combat in the sewers with Dahg the Sorc Archer

Huggalump · December 2015

My first pvp clip. It's a very short clip to go along with my build video I just released. I'm using a build I haven't seen anyone else using. It's not the best thing since sliced bread, but it's at least the best thing since Dippin Dots.

Dippin Dots are horrible FYI

So is the build!

JK, it's just not a mainstream build, so I'm having some fun. That's the joke.

I like it. Always thought sorcerer mobility would work well with a bow build. I used to run a hybrid bow build back in 1.5 on a sorc. I stood on volcanic rune and shot people, ambushers and gap closers would go flying.

That sounds hilarious. I might try it sometime just for the laugh even though I won't be getting the damage out of it.

I agree on the mobility, that's really what spawned the idea in the first place. I decided leveling and gathering skyshards and alliance points was such a chore, so I'm never doing that again. I doubled down on what I already had. I'm a sorc. What are sorcs good at? Mobility. Who needs mobility? Archers. I have critical surge, and I have crit from Khajit passive and bows have high crit? Sold!

Was just a matter of forcing myself to build it through trial and error after that.

Good stuff OP. Reminds me of a sorc named Leper Si who used to play a bow build.

Never heard of him, maybe he was before my time? I just came in when the game went B2P, and didn't stay paying attention to big name pvpers until I out into veteran ranks.

Leper Si was active on these forums and posted a lot of good magicka and stamina sorc videos. Sadly, he, like so many others lost interest in the game after the imperial city and forced grinding changes.

I think he was also banned from the forums like so many good PvP'ers were for speaking their minds about how this game has deteriorated since launch. ZOS has silenced and pushed away so many of our best.

But on a good note, here is one of his stam sorc videos.

I had a stamina sorc that ran with 5 pc Shieldbreaker and a v14 gold Covenants bow (It was like 1100 unresistable dmg). May have been a bad build but it was pretty fun. During sieges, I was smoking people on the keep walls.

Nice! Does he have some videos that focus on the bow? Or does he usually offhand the bow while mainly sticking to his 2h?

Yeah, I think shieldbreaker would work great for this because magicka builds with big shields are easily my most difficult enemy.

Actually he quit because the indirect nerfs stam sorcs got. Like dodge roll nerf and boundless storm no longer stacking with bow maneuvers. He was a heavy dodge roller, and rightfully so. Dodging and speed were the only defense he had.

As far as the other stuff... People come and people go.

OT - He played both equally when the situation called for it. He was great at creating space and getting quick lethal arrows off.

I see I see. I like my utility bar too much to run like he did, but that's rad.
