It has its moments but I think it would be better if 1 piece boosted Max Magicka instead of Max Health. Just saiyan.

✭✭✭✭Make bogdan mag regen while we are at it.
To be fair, without max HP from the one piece of nerienith, my sorc would be around 17k health. Too low for end game stuff like vDSA and vet trials. So it is useful there.

✭✭The crystals blast area is too small. Even with 70% snare from Bahraha's Curse set someone can just walk out of it. Nobody stands in the same area for 3 seconds in pvp.

I have magicka and stamina versions of all the classes. For the reasons I set out I think the set is better suited to melee stam. The only magicka class that I think benefits from the set from melee range non-DoT attacks is NB if they are set up for it. If they want to keep it magicka then a faster animation proc and larger splash damage would make more sense than the current set up.PUG Life - the true test of your skill

Easy in dungeons. Spamming sap when you've got a zerg on you works well. Like prison for instance and trials. PVP it's kind of ok for wasting thier stamina. Esp sorcs with 9k stam. They'll have to sponge one or two hits when they start hard casting.PC Master Race

Incorrect an infallible + tbs sorc can run 16k hp and stack as many shields as possible not affecting their dps one bit. This build has carried me through all current trials, vma and vdsa. A julianos, willpower, kena/nerineth sorc however cannot use shields like that and keep their dps consistent.Delta

Lol I can't believe you guys are actually defending ward spamming in a group environment. By definition if you are using the ward, you are not doing DPS. I get that if you are dead, you can't dps and there are times you need it, that is why you would have it on the overload bar.
And "getting jumped" doesn't happen in PvE. If you get attacked, either the tank is not doing their job or you are paying close enough attention.
Surge is great but if you really want the best dps, you need to be running pots and have a good healer.
And I don't get how having IA and TBS would change this. Unless you are doing the whole lightning staff heavy build. Even then, you stop attacking to use ward. Period. No dps out.

Not to be a jerk, but max magicka scales better because of the larger number of percentage bonuses.
Undaunted 6%
Mage light 5%
Bound armor 8%
Might of the Guild 2% per guild ability slotted
Grace of the Ancients: 4%
And so on. Max magicka is worth about one spell damage per 10.8 points, so damage stacks up quickly with the bonuses. It also increases shield size.
Spell damage only gets a 2% increase per sorc spell slotted, and maybe a little if you have a couple of offensive scrolls and five keeps or some crap.
Magicka is a primary resource pool, so obviously more is better.
Plus. We already have Kena with spell damage, we don't need another.
So. WTB monster set piece with 900 magicka or percentage increase please. Even though Stam will probably get the set first.. :-/
