leem1988 · July 2017

Can someone give me a mag sorc build with crafted/easy to obtain gear for cp pvp. Thanks!

Kagernacs, seducers, will power. The skills should be pretty simple to figure out.

Shackelbreaker 5x/ (use weapons its craftable)/ 5z wizards riposte (witj jewelely) 1x max magicka helm

I got the 2x impen wizards for 6-10k per piece.

The jewellery for 8-10k per piece.

Its a very cheap but very effective setup.

I agree with Shacklebreaker as a good base for your sustain. Pair it with the Witchmothers dring that gives max health/max mag and mag recov.

For your other set - go with whatever you can get hold of that is magica based and suits your playstyle.. You'll need it in Jewellry which is probably the trickier part to source.

Purple wizards cost me 8k per.

Its a good set, basically 15% bigger shields but also works with hp. Its great in a group.

Never tried it, to be fair. I'm sure it's decent. But there are plenty of other options depending on the OPs resources, especially when getting your weapons from a created set.

I always go for high magica (in CP) for bigger shields, which makes necropotence a good choice to pair with shackle, however I think it's a lot more expensive now than it was when I got mine - so didn't really want to mention it specifically in case the op felt he had to get it where really there are plenty of options with shackle as a solid base.

I was thinking of going Shacklebreaker at first, which is really nice in theory but fails in practice. WR would only be active on your backbar, which makes it less reliable, and i'm also not a fan of my stats changing that much when switching bars.

I personally went Wizards Riposte + Lich + Infernal Guardian with 3-stat food.

Lich allows me to play a bit more recklessly, streak more often, drop more mines etc and not worry as much about sustain, AND your stats will stay the same on both bars.

Lich does requre farming though, and getting the resto staff could take a while. Crypt of Hearts 1 is really easy to solo though, even on veteran, if you want purple Lich jewelry for whatever reason.

Biro123 · July 2017

Yeah, with shackle breaker you have to give up a monster set to keep it active all the time, but then there arent that many good monster sets for pvp sorc, so I generally mix-match them just for the 1-piece bonus anyway.

Overall I find it gives better sustain than lich when combined with witchmothers (which you can due to the stam bonus)
But as you say, the only benefit of lich is letting you use a full monster set.

It is very viable.

5 shacklebreaker 5 wizards riposte and either maelstrom staves or 1 monster piece for Max mag or spell dmg.

Is you can swing necro, replace wizards riposte with it.

Dudis · July 2017

I really like Infernal guardian on my sorc. Of course its not very good for ranged opponents, but it's a lot of free AoE dmg on people smacking you in melee range. It's also a decent ammount of damage if you manage to land a frag for example while it's proccing.

I'm of course talking about 1v1, 1vx it's not very reliable (unless they are all melee) - but at least it looks cool :P

There are also some defensive options, mainly Pirate skeleton. I've also been thinking of trying Engine Guardian and go mostly damage on jewelry (also unreliable).

Stop being salty: spam talons, spam bol, triple cheese stambladeproc build, I think the only class that has a lot more difficulty is magblade

You didn't even mention wardens

leem1988 · July 2017

Thanks for all the replies. So since I'm new to mag sorc. I would probably be better off running wizards riposte, and lich right? Would blue lich jewelry work? And is Wizards riposte inexpensive to get?

Too bad I'm out of town this weekend. I would have loved to get the infernal guardian helm from the vendor.

Dudis · July 2017

I would say WR+Lich is a strong combination both for new and experienced players. If you feel your sustain is fine, you can just drop some regen glyphs and add more damage instead on your jewelry.

Purple jewelry only gives 20 more Mag per piece, it doesn't affect the glyphs, so that's fine.

As for WR prices, only the staff is what you could call expensive, i got mine for about 65k i think (flame sharpened). Anything else was 5k or less per piece.

The only tough item to get would be the Lich resto, as i mentioned before. It only drops from the last boss in CoH 1 as far as i know, so each run will take some time, but considering you probably need to farm the other items too, you might aswell do the whole thing. At least the trait on the Resto staff isn't very important. Defending would be optimal but powered, infused etc are all decent too.

Should I be running all light armor with impen? Or 2 heavy, 5 light all impen?

5/1/1

though without undaunted 9 go 5/2 heavy for passives or 7 light for sustain.

Keep_Door · July 2017

If you are ok with slightly less then the best traits you can get some cheap necro spinners and or elegant gear in guild traders.

Im talking 500-1000 a piece. you just have to know were to look.

6/1 > 5/2. 5/1/1 isn't needed at all anymore.

Personally think witchmothers is a massive waste, even when I run shackle.

And I remember a few people testing maim, saying battle spirit makes it 10% not 15% for minor and 20% not 30% for major. Not saying it's bad, and I didn't test myself but seen a few people say this.

leem1988 · July 2017

I have enough ap to buy infernal guardian shoulders. Should I get a heavy or light? I'm not sure since lich and WR only comes in light armor.
