Hello, I reached level 100 in champion points recently. I mostly do questing and exploartion, but I enjoy pvp and world bosses too. Thing is that ever since I started leveling champion points, I got drasticly squishy. While doing world bosses and dungeons aren't that much of a problem as I still can predict and dodge easily, pvp is getting unfairly hard. I die sometimes that I don't have tine to even react. I would appriciate if I would have some help or advice as going from decent dps survival to paper squishy is not enjoyable. I will list below what I have as my current build.
I am Altmer. I find them cool, but that's not the point. In terms of gameplay they provide me with nice magika boost enough so I don't need to worry much about magika. My attributes are 10 in magika, 10 in health and 41 in stamina. I wear full medium armor and jewelry stamina related. According to my character log I have 3 out of 4 stars. Because of champion points, i no longer have set, but simply pick what's best. I have maximum dw, bow, med, storm and few points related to dark mag. For duel wield (main bar and biggest problem) i have shrouded strike, rapid strike, whrilwind blades, power surge, streak and power overload.
As bow (alternate bar and lessee problem) I have lethal arrow, poison injection, draining shot, critical surge, bombard and power overload (will replace with rappid fire when i find 2 more shards). I invest in steed and lady red points, lady greed points and atrenoch blue points.
I understand someone with 700 cp will be stronger then me, but thing is when I was 15 I stood a chance against someone on lvl 40, while now I die in 2 seconds and literally stand no chance.
I was thinking about mixing some heavy armor, but honestly I don't know what I do wrong and need to change. Prehaps my build is into pvp and in that case I would love to know whuch one would you recommand for pvp and which one for pve.
Any help would be welcome as well as some place to practise like dummies for example in WoW or LotRO.

    I play as a StamSorc as well and I don't understand your skill setup - how do you have power surge and critical surge? Also no Hurricane? This with critical surge should really keep you alive. I also wouldn't put any points into Magicka.

    I don't PvP very often but for your DW bar you could look at: Blood Craze, Rapid Strikes, Deadly Cloak, Hurricane, Streak.
    Bow maybe: Poison Injection, Critical Surge, Dark Deal, Vigour + another bow skill

    For PvE maybe check out alcast's site for some details: https://alcasthq.com/eso-stamina-sorcerer-build-pve/#content5 or Dottz: https://dottzgaming.com/build/the-storm-ballista-stamina-sorcerer-pve-build/

    They both also have PvP builds so worth checking them out as well for ideas.

    Once you hit CP160 and get proper sets, then it'll start coming together.

    My bad. In both cases, I have critical surge. I wrote power surge by accident.
    I had forvthe most part hurricane, but tought I should replace it with shrouded daggers because of passive. Your skill set seems interesting. I will try it, altough I am not sure if not having AoE will handicap me. I find it most important not to have "the ultimate build", but to have good and fun one which I will be able to use in both PvE and PvP (or one wepeon in PvE and one in PvE).

    Hurricane is your AoE, keep crit surge up as well and you should find it hard to die especially in PvE. For PvE also add Endless Hail in your bow bar, that's another AoE you can use.

    Hey man, since I can tell from the information that you provide that you lack a lot of knowledge regarding build assemblies (which is no problem, there's no way you really learn that along your way), I'd highly suggest you just browse through youtube for some stamina sorcerer pvp builds. There's tons, and while I don't like most of them personally, there's lots of people going into detail about how to build the class.

    First steps you should take care of (just regarding not dieing):
    • get 160cp so you can wear all endgame armor
    • pump your resitances up to at least 20k. major buffs from hurricane are a must
    • gather gear that comes in the impenetrable trait, as it reduces the critical damage you take significantly
    • work on your damage mitigation mechanics (such as blocking, dodgerolling, kiting, healing, buffs, ...)

    It will definitly take a lot of time until you become strong enough to deal with the harsh environment of cyrodiil, so its best grouping up to learn the basics.

    Also, if you want to progress in your skill level, by far the best bet is to just duel with other PvPers in isolated scenarios and gather tipps from experienced players. You'll eventually learn the ways ;)
