Magplar cross heal dps build for pve

IrksomeSolid09
Was having a discussion about the sets I run with a guild mate. He told me my sets are horrible for pve. I don't think he was correct, and I would like to get some honest feedback.

2 Rattlecage
5 treasure hunter
3 rattlecage jewelry

character sheet
spell DMG 3080
Crit 62.7%

I believe I run shadow stone.

Currently working twords maelstrom resto, and D star destro to compliment build.

    Fine for a dungeon build because nobody wants to waste spell power pots in a dungeon, but for any thing endgame you want to drop rattle cage and just use spell power pots.

    yea the sorcery buff doesn't stack - so rattlecage is superfluous in raid situations where you're potioning.

    You're better off with less spell dmg/ crit and more regen (atronauch mundus) for raid healing.
    Plus your gear does nothing to buff the party or debuff enemies like you'd have with sets like Worm, SPC and Mending ... there's still a place for infallible as well.

    But the set is fine for 4 man content where you're healing and DPSing and using trash pots if anything.

    What's your max magicka and recovery with this setup?

    In vet trials, except in a few contexts, you're not really "cross heal DPSing" ... you're healing, or you're DPSing.
    It all depends on what you mean by "PvE" ... that could be anything from solo questing and delves (anything works), to 4 man normals (anything works), to 4 man vet (you have some flexibility here), to vDSA (might want to focus on one thing), to vMA (you'll be fine with whatever you're most comfortable with), to vMoL (you'll need to optimize).
