DPS Sorcerer (Storm Calling) Build Issue

Grezlord · February 2017

My Sorc is level 39, High Elf and I'm trying to go for a DPS build that also makes me less squishy. Right now, I am going with a Storm Calling approach. The reason it frustrates me is because I've got other Sorc friends half my level, but they seem far less squishy than I and their spell resistance is like 2k higher.

My skill bar consist of: Endless Fury 4, Surge 1, Liquid Lightning 4, Hurricane 1 and Encase 4. Energy Overload 4 is my Ultimate.

My current stats (without food) are:
Max Magicka - 18345
Max Health - 14950
Spell Damage - 1417
Spell Crit - 15%
Spell Resistance - 8776

My attribute points are: Magicka 30, Health 15 and Stamina 2.

I find it extremely difficult to complete quests my own level because I'm taking on 2-3 enemies at a time and I'm dying within 10 secs. Would anyone have any tips?

Thanks.

Hello.

Skills should be:

Force pulse, crystal, harden ward, bound agies, inner light
Power surge, liquid,harden ward, bound agies, inner light

Super basic, easy + good healing from power surge and your dots going on on liquid.

Should keep you alive hands down.

Use all magicka skills, no stamina. Respec all attribute points into magicka. Get all three class skill lines and destro staff skill line leveled up by making sure you have at least one of each skill line's skills on your main bar so all your kills and quest turn ins will give xp to those skill lines.

You need a good gear set. Try for 2 5-piece sets for now, like Julianos and Necropotence (if using pets, which I recommend) or maybe Netch's Touch if focusing on lightning damage. Lots of people will craft you full sets if you can provide mats and a modest tip. Other overland sets can be farmed or purchased from guild traders.

Make sure to get all passives in Light Armor, Racial, Class lines, and Destro staff.
