Looking for magsorc builds for VMA and hard PVE content that would be viable after the shield nerf

    On the bottom of each of his builds he has a Maelstrom Arena guide. He explains where each build fits into the game and which ones are best optimized for hard end game content.

    Alcast's guides are for the current Live environment. OP is asking for advice on builds assuming the significant shield nerfs on PTS come to Live. If they do, Alcast's current guides will not be particularly relevant to the question asked.

    You did see that he wants a working build that includes the shield nerfs right? From what I'm seeing, all of these builds use shields...

    Reroll nightblade?

    I've just been told this on Discord by my Sorcs class leader. A guy who can do 46k solo parses on magsorc.

    For VMA, pet sorc with restoration staff for healing ward on 2nd bar could help

    Please do not use the same Fallout 76 engine for TES VI

    Sounds like a plan.

    I guess you can hop on the PTR and create one.
    Then come back and post it in the forums.

    The best build ever. Nerf-proof and is nice for role playing as Flash.

    I’m curious how well this is gonna work for all my mag toons really. They all use light armor shield. Maybe throw on Iceheart.

    A friend told me about shielding glyph and it has worked interesting for Stam toons so far. It could make sense to try it out on a mag toon.

    Or maybe they don’t really need the shield as much I use it? Or shield more preemptive....that’s gonna be a whole new level of get güd.

    I don’t see any magic toon being in any better shape than warden really. Their kit is most well rounded to deal with these changes imo.

    I got real salty and asked someone at ZOS to beat vMA with magsorc on the PTS with 300 CP. Someone did and I didn’t watch the video but it was like 5 minutes long. Skipping through the video it appears he didn’t use shields at all. May not of even had the things slotted.

    Impressive and inspiring.

    So while I’m done playing the game and unsubscribing, I’m also hitting the PTS to understand how he/she did what she/he did.

    Facepalm. ... stupidest decision ever. 1 second cast time?! But ... begrudgingly. I will adapt.

    To answer your question, @Alcast will most likely update his build. Which is the one I use (non-pet).

    But changes aren’t live yet so it’s a waste of time. But meanwhile I’m unsubbing and boycotting the game. When you see q.bit in random normals screwing around with unfmiliar builds, that’s an imposter and not me. Honest.

    And where's the video?

    VMA in 5 minutes is just impossible. Can you prove they really did it? Share the video that you saw?
