Is hurricane the go to morph for lightning form?

Honestly I haven't played sorc since I was on PC and that was the Orsinium update, but for the magic sorcerers out there do you prefer the stam morph to lightning form? It might just be me that thinks it's way better than the other and if it is please tell me I am curious about this for starting a sorcerer again on ps4, thanks :)

    If you want to use a skill that scales off your lowest stat, I guess you could use it.

    Personally, I prefer the increased speed of Boundless Storm.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    It kind of depends, if you're playing a stam sorc then you use the stam morph to lightning form. Otherwise you use the magic morph.

    I was thinking the same for stats, but is it that much of a speed difference that is better than the radius off stam morph (actual question about if they overpowered stam morph, not sarcasm) honestly idk

    I agree but to me it seems the magic morph isn't as good, correct me if I'm wrong though for those who have used it and appreciate it

    Hurricane does physical damage. Doesn't proc your uber lightning-based disintegrate you'll have if magicka-based. Don't doooo it.

    No i wouldn't use hurricane on my mSorc,

    it causes physical damage, which works perfectly on a stam sorc, as it scales off weapon damage, stamina & CP placed under Mighty.

    the magic version scales with spell damage, magic & cp placed under elemental expert.

    i mainly play PvE with my sorc;
    i find it useful, most of my DPS is ranged, however for those times when i need to get up close & personal with the mobs im killing, i activate lightning form, proxy det, liquid lightning to turn myself into an aoe,

    it has its uses in PvP too, I havent taken my sorc in for a while, so im sure someone else could comment on that

    If you're magicka-based, the amount of damage you'll be doing will be ridiculously low. And if you're a hybrid stamina/magicka character, you're doing it wrong :D (just stating it as it is, hybrid builds are a no-go in this game). So yes, hurricane should be restricted to stamina-based sorc builds.

    I use Boundless Storm on my mSorc simply because I'm in 5 heavy and almost always in melee range. As a ranged caster I wouldn't use Thundering Presence at all.

    Either morph is a nearly wasted slot on a migicka sorc. Your 10k resists become 15k with boundless up. Anyone with a sharpened weapon is basically fully penetrating your armor anyway. Shields do not benefit from resistances.

    If you slot it, you slot it for speed, so the answer is the magicka morph.

    Both morphs are extremely good for pve. Boundless for magicka and hurricane for stamina. The only time a magsorc shouldn't have boundless slotted is for double staff builds on single target fights. Stam should run hurricane all the time in pvp and pve

    @Xeven

    Player Vs Environment, or looking at it another way, fighting mobs. As opposed to fighting players.

    The tactics and strategies between the two types of game play are both vastly different and quite similar at the same time. Because Players can do things to other players that Mobs can't do, combat has to be approached differently. Although, most of the same skills are used other than some Alliance War specific skills.

    Option 1: You have all points into magic and you should be running boundless storm.

    Option 2: You have all your points into stamina and you should be running hurricane (this skill is ridiculous).

    Option 3: Go to the shrine and respec ALL of your points into one of the above.

    There is no option 4.

    Magicka Sorc = Boundless Storm

    Stamina Sorc = Hurricane

    A Magicka Sorc will never use Hurricane, but a Stamina Sorc might use Boundless Storm. :)

    In a very very good way! :)

    Hurricane is fantastic! Great single target AND AoE dps DoT... extra resistances for being in melee range... and a speed buff! Whats not to love!

    But uselsss on a magicka sorc which is annoying.

    OK that's what I was looking for, I worded my question completely wrong what I originally meant was: "Is it unfair that the stam morph is much better than the mag morph?" So thanks! Was curious

    Stamina Sorcs complained forever about not having any useful stamina class skills, ZOS finally answered by giving us a skill that's actually useful and you want to complain? Mag Sorcs have an entire class of skills to choose from, Stamina Sorcs hardly anything... so it's only fair that Stam Sorcs get a class boon for a change.

    It's the current fotm, nothing more nothing less. It really comes down to play style and how you want to do it, that's the important thing to take from this. I play stam DK a lot different than what others do, but I go out there and have fun, if I can't I log off. No reason to salty the waters.

    Do you play a Stamina Sorc? The current combination is Hurricane with Crit Surge and Steel Tornado thrown in for good measure. Hurricane and Crit Surge work perfectly together, so any time I deal with mobs it is my go-to combination.

    I have a Stam/Sorc and yes it is decent with tornado thrown in, but as a whole I would still prefer not to use Hurricane period.

    I know it is all the rave right now, but it is just not my cup of tea I guess. heh
