look for build in youtube, theres tons of good mag sorc build, also learn the rotation etc, but i suggest those videos are as your base/reference, tweak it as you like to fit your game style

If you're on PC/NA you can partner up with me and loot bodies. I'll make you a full set of prosperous armor. Sometimes we all need a friend.


Full disclosure: most of my toons wear a lot of metallic pink

You are really nice!

The fastest way to improve is to join a guild. Having other players you can chat with every day ask about mechanics and join groups with will really help you.
If you find you're in a guild which isn't helping you find a second one, look for a PvE/PvP guild which focuses on end game content or PvP but isn't an elite guild, you'll find players with all the elite knowledge and less of the demand.

PvP skill takes some investment in learning mechanics, classes, tricks and such. Watch streamers and videos, join a PvP guild and generally absorb as much information as you can.

Gold is made fastest by being in a trade guild, join a trade guild and start reading up what sells and start selling it, there are a number of posts on these forums where myself and others have listed great ways to farm gold.

As the old saying goes knowledge is power, if you find you're not good at something read and ask questions about it constantly until you improve.

I agree with @Turelus, join a guild, play with people, you will get better together You will push each other to improve and help each other along the way.
If you already do this, then maybe just watch some tip videos and things. Spellweave and Julianos is good for a mag sorc I hear, that will improve you lots, if its all divines
The thing is though, you don't have to be the best player in the game to enjoy it, if you love it so much as you do, then you are doing what is right for you If you enjoy it, that's all that matters. Time is precious, and if you choose to spend it in this game to have fun, like so many of us do, then that is a good thing!

I love ESO. It's all I play. Been playing since first beta but man I suck. My main, mag sorc cp 388 can only do about 16k dps and I can't survive any 1v1 encounter in PvP either. I also have tremendous issues with gold. No matter how much I play, every aspect of this game is difficult for me. I'll never stop playing, just hope I get better soon

Introspective analysis is a good thing. Are you looking for advice or is this just "thinking out loud"?

If you're looking for advice, it might help to know:

1. Your gear
2. Stats distribution
3. CP distribution
4. Which abilities you're using
5. Your rotation
6. Your play style
7. Your goals and gameplay preferences

What do you enjoy doing the most? Are you interested the group content? Do you want to participate in the more challenging content? Are you content with the less stats-intensive content?

Do you want to get into theory-crafting and/or min/maxing?

@runagate thanks though. Really appreciate that

Totally kidding about the prosperous, not about hanging out. What Alliance is your sorc? I been trying to drag people to Cyrodiil for the double AP event (omg the AP and skill points rain for new players) and have done each alliance already, probably do at least AD characters today.

PvP people are freakishly irresponsible about teaching people the ins and outs of Cyrodiil. Note that PvP is a pretty terrible way to make gold normally, but with 100k AP/hour without even knowing what's happening around you the chance to get Akaviri motifs this week is pretty good.

My sorc is AD

@Moonscythe

Little off topic but the trick to making that "foot race" a breeze...use your mount. Took me a while to figure that one out
