Build/Champ point help request: CH 151 Nord Destro Sorc

Benie · July 2017

Alright. I need help to make my Champ Level 151 Destro Scorc shine. Before, I had him set for soloing (still want to). Been over a year and I've forgot how to play. Managed to join a Guild, but they're a Trading guild and couldn't really help me with my build.
I remember asking the forum in the past, so I shall do it again. Now according to my Skills, I put 1/3 in Dark Magic and the rest in Daedric Summoning, with all Passive abilities enabled for Dark Magic (except for 1/2 Exploitation). As for Daedric Summoning, all Passive Abilities are active and upgraded to 2/2.

If anyone could please assist me with this, that would be fantastic. I'm also wearing CH 10 Crafted gear. I need to have it upgraded or replaced (I assume).

Don't have much experience playing sorc, but I know a lot go for stacking max magicka because the class shields scale on max magicka, along with your damage, so maybe try incorporating some set with max magicka bonuses like Necropotence, Elegance, Shadow Dancer.

Nords have 10% lower max magicka compared to Altmer or Breton, but this is not a big deal unless you are trying to squeeze out some extra dps to compete on PVE leaderboards, speed runs, etc.

I would want to also confirm whether Nord damage resistance applies to shields. I assume it does, since that's the way Major/Minor Protection buff works.

You can get some ideas here: http://tamrielfoundry.com/forum/classes/sorcerer-class/

As much as I appreciate the link, I rather not have another username/password I have to remember. Also, I don't really want 'ideas', I want knowledge on 'the perfect build' for soloing that's pretty universal. This is why I ask here. So if anyone that knows the class and spec well could chirp in and give me the 411 on what I should do, I would greatly appreciate it.
Also, @IcyDeadPeople. Again, appreciate you responding, but I really need someone that knows how to play this class inside-out.

Actually, I'm just going to ask this in the Combat section of the forum. Thanks anyways.

There is no "perfect universal build" - how this process works is you learn some of the math, the underlying concepts etc and spend a lot of time trying different set and skill combinations until you find something you enjoy, and even then you will continue tweaking and changing up your build over time.

You can certainly copy someone else's PVE dps sorc build, for example, but the result is not going to be exactly the same because you have different racial passives, and many elements of this game change from update to update. At any rate when you see other people's build concept posted, the point is to learn why they are making those choices so it informs your own build ideas. And you don't need to create username/password for that site, anyone can review the sorc builds posted there without logging in.

If you are talking about soloing the overland content, delves, public dungeons etc, this content is pretty easy, even with any random crap gear. For PVP or maelstrom solo arena, endgame veteran 4-man dungeons and 12-man trials, however, you need to figure out a specific build concept.
