Nagging Sustain Question for Build

grim_tactics · March 2018

So I’m trying out a super burst build with my MagSorc since I’m coming back to the game after a long hiatus.

Currently I’m wondering what’s better in regards to my build so tell me what you all think.

Stats I’m curious about really relate to Mundus stone and switching out a ring or 2

Buffer in PvP Vivec im currently at

39k Mag
23.5k Health
10k Stam

Mag Regen 1700 (not worried bout health or Stam regen right now)

Spell Dmg 2700 using Power Surge

Now I can switch and push 41k Mag but my regen Drops to 1450.

Because there is only a small difference in regen from my ring I can add more spell damage which gets the other build

41k Mag
23.5k health
10k Stam

1300 mag regen

Spell Dmg 2950 with Power Surge

Which of the two seems to be better as a base cause I can run pots to increase my regen and spell Dmg even more.

Is the extra magic better with the loss in recovery or am I better off losing 2k magic for the 400 extra in recovery?

Thanks in advance

I think it's mostly up to personal preference. While I haven't played a Magsorc that much, I do play Magdk quite a bit in PvP and I'v found 1300 to be fine for my play style. Honestly in a perfect world I'd try both sets out and see which feels best for you. Hope that helps

I’m leaning towards more regen than 2k extra magic because I get a little button happy sometimes and constantly chugging pots can get expensive just for buffs before each fight.

The added sustain seems to help me continuously be able to be on offense.

I was just curious how much damage I was leaving on the table by losing that 2k mag and roughly 200 spell damage by going with more regen.

Guess it is more of a play style choice since the difference isn’t really that much I guess
