Sorc healer, are my stats good?

Chieve · February 2016

On a health and magic potion i have 15.8k magicka with 1222 magika recovery.

14k health, and 374 health recovery.

Are these stats good? Last time i came on here i had 18kmagika i believe id have to double check and 9k health. I know magika wasnt a problem for me so i assumed it was due to my health, i was one shotted. I am now level 5p, previously i asked this wheb i was level 40, i hace 42 points in magik and 7 in health...

So how is all of this?

Is this for vet dungeons? I'm no pro, but I'm sure you'll need twice the amount of health you currently have, at least.

No this is for normal ones, i just turned level 50 so i want to play around in normal dungeons 1st

If you are v16 then no... sorc healers are "viable" but they are not meant to do anything end game. They just don't have any real utility besides the resto staff stuff, which is pretty good but still lacking on the support department.

Now it also depends on the groups you run with... if you run with a pretty solid group who only needs some off healing here and there and you can dps in between then sorcs seem a solid choice.

But sorry for getting off track, lets seeeee. Your stats should be somewhere close to buffed - 30k+ magika, 17k health, your magika recovery seems fine, but also need to hit close to mid 2000 unbuffed spell damage.

Andddddddd I see you are not v16 now so... just use these stats and ratio it I guess haha... Work on getting 5p kag because that helps a lot. Also these stats are assuming you are talking about PvE, if you are talking about PvP... well sorry I can't help you there. Hope this helps.

What? 14k is a bit too low indeed, but getting 28k hp means sacrificing a lot of resources and sustainability. And yeah, that extra hp wont make any difference if you dont have capped mitigation and block damage reduction. Dds and healers just need enough hp to avoid being oneshotted, stacking more than 20k is excessive. Especially for a sorc. 17-19k is optimal imo (I personally dpsed SO with 16,8k while being in outer group on Manti and without dying).
14k does seems a bit low though, but only for vr16. For lower vet char its perfectly fine. Magicka characters should use blue quality magicka+hp food, it gives a very good boost to survivability and heals/damage.

Sorcs are better at DD with a little heal...

I am a DD and always have my Resto staff as backup,
I do the occasional healing springs or heal if the healer dies...

At VR16 you are aiming at around 18K health and the rest into magicka...
However with a sorc and hardened ward you can with 13k health still survive most Vet Dungeons...

When it comes to trials and VDSA then you will need to up you health...

Your stats seem fine as you are only level 50...
you may want a bit more health if you want to do group dungeons and dailies....

go do the undaunted dailies, do the silver and then try the gold.....

If you manage the gold then you are just fine, if not take notice of where your weaknesses are and then come here and post...
More important are to us than just health and magicka are the following:

What gear are you using?
What is your Spell Damage?
What is your Magicka Regen?
Race?
Skills?
