Probs to your build, its lovely to see more people enjoying hybrid gameplay. I myself have played hybrid sorc every now and then throughout the years before it was cool, it is very tempting to implement curse and fury into a stamsorc's bars

Regarding your setup, I really recommend you to drop imperial physique outside of IC for a more weapon damage oriented set. As a pelinal sorc, your best bet is to stack whatever weapon damage you can get since you get the double scaling effect. Also your build would hit much harder had you applied the major resistance debuffs to you enemies. From my experience, s/b works out better for hybrid sorcs since you can use puncutre as a spammable and buff your damage at the same time.

If you wanna go the 2h route, the PERFECT combo is running curse -> fury -> dizzing -> execute/DB. It's very fluent and can onehot squishies, though it is easily counterplayble by decent players.

Also try to hit fury AFTER curse, not before. That way you get the fat burst once curse explodes. I'd also recomment to put more points into max magicka and cut your regen so you further amp up your mag damage.

Keep sticking to it, next patch is gonna be great for us hybrids and its soo much more fun to run your own creative builds and get messaged by confused people enjoy!

The best ping I can play on due to distance to the server is 240-260. When the server is busy it’s 300+. Dizzying will only land on a potato who could be mashed by medium weaves of anything. The guys you can kill with dizzying you can kill with anything.

The imperial physique is more for the bonus mag and stam regen than the weapon dmg. Other options would be agility (1/2 a weapon dmg bonus more plus 1400 stam) with asylum or 4pc sets that give two weapon dmg (sheer venom, morag tong etc). But then I lack recovery and only way I can get that is a jewellery glyph, monsters sets, or changing tri-food to drinks and losing max stats. A build that has low recovery needs a defensive set, but no room for that with pelinals.

I can eek out more weapon/spell dmg, but I honestly have 4.5k buffed (not including masters weapon buff) which is plenty.

Sword and board is great and puncture is great for the debuff which adds 5%-6% dmg but at the same time you loose 236 weapon/spell power and 5% dmg and a burst heal in rally if you swap out the 2h or 301 weapon/spell dmg and ranged pressure if you swap out the bow plus extra crit healing etc. You do gain access to major defile and the ability to block through soul assualt.

The clear advantages of s&b are below.

I really like the idea, I've something to say :

Why not going 1&S and 2h ?

You can do curse/fury/heroic slash/reverb/new bound armement
and on back bar 2h : rally/surge/hurricane/vigor/executioner or critical charge. Or swap vigor main bar and put both critical charge and executioner on back bar.

My point is you took the delayed burst from mag sorc in a stam build but you also negated some of the OP things stam have, why not do both ?

1&S is the best defensive and offensive weapon in the game, you have more damage with light attack/heroic slash/bash than dizzy, and you have a reliable spammable as well as the buff heroic slash give.

ALSO U NEED MAJOR DEFILE it's just too good, reverb is a good stun dealing decent damage giving major defile + a slow, use it !.

You can make something : fury -> curse -> Heroic slash -> reveb -> heroic slash and for a ultimate burst you can do fury -> curse -> Heroic slash -> dawnbreaker -> executionner or an other heroic slash. You can use curse then fury, need to see what's smoother.

I really thing missing a spammable and defile is a bad idea, even worse when 1&S skill overperform by a large margin 2h skills.

What u guys think ?

Sword and board is great. Some positive and negative associated with it compared to the masters bow.

Positive
- 5/5/2
- Greater defense
- Access to major defile (bow has this through lethal arrow)
- Access to minor heroism and maim
- Access to major breach/fracture


Negative
- lose 301 weapon/spell dmg
- lose ranged pressure (other than curse)
- lose a ranged 10s execute
- Lose major expedition
- Need to run infused sword or 2h, losing a lot of dmg if you want to eek the most of a weapon dmg glyph.

I’ll see if I can get some good clips on s&b.

Really want to mess around with alchemist and pelinels on my stam sorc, mages wrath or curse on a dw Stam Sorc would be deadly. Ice staff back bar for snare and damage mitigation and replace shrouded daggers with curse or frags for the burst damage timed with DBoS. Idk how long it will take me to be able to craft alchemist jewlery though.

There are a few nice crafted sets that will offer a combination of max stats/recovery/uniqueness
- Clever alchemist
- Shacklebreaker
- Mechanical accuity
- the new oblivion damage set

Hopefully jewellery crafting isn't too many weeks slog.

I'm pretty sure it's long

Yeah it’s gonna be months before you can craft a set like alchemist.
