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.

It's only 1k... Besides, I use shields to keep my mage alive. They do the job just fine most of the time (pretty sure Nerien'eth cheats...).

If you are using wards in vDSA and vet trials, you are doing it wrong. Sorc DPS is pretty bad anyways, so spending valuable time spamming the ward, you are not doing DPS. Though there is a need to have it on the overload bar, just in case. You need to trust your healer and believe that they will heal you, and in turn, make their job easier by having at least 18k health.

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.

I do plenty of DPS watching my own back. Long as I don't get jumped Surge keeps me healed and Ward keeps me safe.

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.

For the record, I do wear julinanos and nerienith, but I also have elegant on my overload bar.

PvE doesn't automatically mean "go dungeoneer". You have to remember that there is solo-play, especially Maelstrom, and World Bosses where you get all sorts. Ergo it IS possible to "get jumped" in PvE.

You are right of course but that is why I specifically mentioned "group environment". If your job is to dps, you dps and let the healer do their job.
