Gearing a Magicka sorc for PvP AND PvE

Bam_Bam · August 2017

Are there any magicka sorc gear sets that combine/perform well in BOTH PvE and PvP? I've recently started to do some PvE with some guild buddies and I'd like to gear up a sorc so that I don't have to switch much gear around (I appreciate the emphasis is more on the different traits rather than actual gear so I'd probably be running divines)

Also how do you set up your gear sustain-wise? Sustain on armour and damage/healing on jewellery/weaps or other way around?

Item sets I'm looking at combining include the following:

Neropotence
Mother's Sorrow
Elegance
Alteration Mastery
Destruction Mastery
Syrabane
Vicious Death
Seducer
Transmutation
War Maiden
Spinner

Yeah, gearing for PvE and PvP is usually pretty different. Magicka users can largely ignore their stamina pool and regen in PvE, whereas in PvP, 2 CCs and you are dead unless you build more stamina into your setup. Regen of both magicka and stamina is also extremely important in PvP because your can often (especially in BGs) be continuously fighting varioua opponents with no sown-time to recover. In PvE the next group of mobs will just stand there and wait for you to regen, unless you're doing vMA, in which case gaining magicka from killing the endless horde does enough to keep you afloat.

I run Shacklebreaker + Lich in PvP
And Necro + other stuff in PvE.

unless you're doing vet trials you can run with pvp gear in pve land.

Thanks for the response Khumbu. I use dressing room and absolutely love it. What do you mean by "Keep the B set of gear in your inventory on lock"? I think I know but better to ask and make sure!
