well here i was, thinking maelstrom arena was going to be easier with a stamsorc.

✭✭✭✭How well aquatinted with stam sorc are you? If you've never used it before then no - it won't be easier.
Easiest way to clear VMA imo is wearwolf. It's stupid how easy it is. I run briar heart, slime craw, vengeance leech and 2 agility. Could go briar heart, VO and then put some more mag sustain in your build.0 -

Hey, watch your language. Don't want to get more sorc nerfs, thank you very much : P
no, it is super strong in vma though. only really useful in solo contexts, because you should be using sp pots in raids and then surge becomes obsolete and you now have no self heals..

Gandork has a Bash Only VMA video too. I watched the whole video to see which enemies he prioritizes.

✭✭✭Use hundings all the time instead of NMG. That will boost your vigor by quite a lot and storm fist for your monster set which gives some more sustain. I also like 5 medium 2 heavy. And of course vMA bow I’d you have it.
DW: blood craze, vigor, crushing wpn, hurricane, bound armaments. Flawless DB
Bow: endless hail, Crit Surge, poison injection, caltrops, bound armaments. Bow Ult (really really helpful)
Lover mundus.
Dubious Camoran
1x stamina recovery glyph on jewelry
This is not a super speed run setup, but you’ve got plenty of damage and survivability/sustain. Don’t forget to open with the DW heavy attack on adds, it really helps with sustain and it’s fast. Never ever let Crit Surge drop. Learn to dodge roll cancel vigor when you’re in trouble and always open with blood craze for even more heals.
Really don't agree with pretty much any of this advice.
NMG is much stronger than Hunding's on a stamsorc which has no built-in armor debuffs.
No real reason to give up the +8% stam regen and +4% stam cost reduction for the moderate armor increase of running 2 x Heavy.
No Rearming Trap is a big DPS loss.
Stormfist is worse than Slimecraw or even Velidreth/Balorgh (situationally for the latter).
DW bar is pure single-target and Crushing Weapon is just a bad choice for a Redguard in Wrathstone. Shrouded Daggers is cheaper and damages multiple targets. Personally I'd run Shrouded Daggers & Steel Tornado for trash rounds and swap Steel Tornado out for Rending Slashes on boss rounds.
Stormfist + Dubious + Stam Recovery glyph + VO is crazy sustain overkill.
If sustain is an issue, just run Dubious/Artaeum and use a single health glyph on a big piece. Sustain shouldn't be an issue with VO and 7 medium though.
But really the key to vMA as always is to kill stuff fast. The more you spec into healing/tanking, the more problems you have, which dominoes into speccing more into healing/tanking.1 -

Just craft NMG daggers and use VO on the jewelry/body. If you use VO weapons you are giving up those crazy 5-piece sustain bonuses every time you're on your backbar.
Are you using The Lover Mundus?
What race are you? What food are you using?
I've never once used Dark Deal on a stamsorc in vMA and have never had sustain issues, either.
I use VO Bow on backbar...
yes i'm using The Lover
I'm a redguard , and yeah... perhaps theres my problem.. i'm using cyrodillic field tonic food
hhaha
See... like... this is the thing that drives me crazy about these forums - "I'm using cyro field tonic food"
....you answered your own question, so what you really did was come here to complain0 -
