After the latest patch, which set would you consider better for a magicka sorcerer? I'm using 2 DoT, so the chances of triggering will be good I guess.

    Nerieneth or Kena. Skoria doesn't do as much DPS as nerieneth with a force pulse rotation. When i tested it, it proccs nearly every 4 seconds for 2k+ DPS. I wish Skoria would do that much DPS on my templar... :disappointed:

    Prob with skoria is the built in 5sec cooldown.
    Was confirmed on pts forum that cd is 5sec.

    This^^

    And goodluck proccing Skoria on cooldown. It's rather easy with nerieneth but nearly impossible with skoria... :/
    Even then it would do less DPS than nerieneth.

    one advantage i know of for skoria is its mobile with the target, nierenth is stationary and will not move with target.
    skoria procs on first tick of DOT only also i believe.

    Skoria on my Templar with purf light, spears, sweeps is 6-8 second proc, I believe you got a min 6K up to 12-13K on mine with a 2-3K aoe. Pretty bad ass in PvE.

    it averages at 1 to 1.5k DPS for me on my templar which is about 3...3.5% of my DPS. Pretty low compared to nerieneth and kena on other builds :(

    My stam DK is rocking skoria since last week. Im getting a significant dps boost over ner and kena/bloodspawn.

    However, he does run a *** ton of dots.. Caltrops + rearming trap + scorched earth + poison injec + unstable flame + twin slashes.... Thats 6 Dots.

    He averages ard 25k single target DPS sustained. Was only able to manage ard 22-23k with ner and kena.

    (2)V16 Sorc- mag dps/stam dps
    (2)V16 nb- stam dps/mag dps

    I'd bet money there is an internal cooldown with Nerien'eth.
    Make Rush of Agony "Monsters only." People should not be consecutively crowd controlled in a PvP setting. Period.

    Yeah Skoria is 9K and 4 K on the aoe hits on mine on tooltip. About every 7 seconds or so.
    Pretty bad ass. I am not sure if it crits, haven't tested it or paid enough attention.

    On a DK, Skoria is beating Nerienth in single target. On a sorc, I think the answer you are looking for is Kena. Due to the lack of DoTs, I would be shocked if Skoria beat Nerienth on a sorc.
