Critique My Build - Magika/Sorc

Stickman777
Hi

This end game build is based off Delta's gaming magika sorc end game build (http://deltiasgaming.com/eso-magic-sorcerer-dps-build/#Group).

Keep in mind I am only 216 CP. Currently, I am only achieving 10-17K DPS. My goal is to maximize as much PVE DPS as possible, I read that anything above 20K is considered good. I have not yet acquired my end game staff (moondancer) and Jewelry (moondancer).

*I picked a random staff, so please ignore.

Is my current setup good enough to reach 30K+ DPS by max CP?

Feel free to make any suggestions, thanks.

    You should try to use two full damage sets and make up sustain with maybe some cost reduction and mag recovery on jewelry and Absorb Magicka on back bar staff (Infused trait).

    Alcast finally has a fairly reasonable list of sets, and here is the Mag DPS one.

    I'd recommend Julianos/Necropotence or Necropotence/Mother's Sorrow depending on what staffs you feel like crafting/farming. (There's a quest dropped Infused Lightning Staff of Mother's Sorrow.)

    Ideally, you'd want your attributes into magic instead of health. Swap your execute and shield places around. Moondancer hasn't really been used seriously in quite a while. You're much better pairing burning spell weave or mother's sorrow with necro. Good dps boils down to weaving light attacks before every skill, in a fluid rotation. 20k is a small start. It's hard to know what you need to improve on, without having a video to go by. Not sure which platform you're on.

    This might be a better starting point to go from.

    How much DPS should I be doing at my current CP?

    That's really difficult to say because DPS very much depends on your skill in executing your rotation and the build, rather than just what CP level you are at.

    However if you are pushing close to 20K, that is actually fine for most content (not all), this DPS will rise as you progress through CP levels (correctly allocated CPs can add quite a few thousand to DPS come 810).

    There is some good advice above from others, Id switch around your sets for sure. If you are stuck, just get your hands on Julianos at least, and pair this with something else decent.

    Keep at it, I could not get above 15K for a very long time, then it clicked and I can pull about 35k now. That click, was in large part learning to weave light attacks properly into my rotations and animation cancelling (I am still learning and improving with both). There are some good videos explaining, look online.
