I tried a medium setup day one of this patch and it didn't work, way too squishy.

For CP I run 6/1 heavy. 2H/Bow. Seventh Legion, Spriggan's (jewelry and weapons), Troll King. Steed mundus. Dubious.

Haven't tested no CP yet.

I'm running Hunding's Rage, Cyrodiil's Ward, and Bloodspawn (5 heavy 2 medium) on my Imperial StamSorc. Using the Steed mundus, Artaeum Takeaway Broth, and the new Lingering Health potions. 2h + S&B set-up. High damage, lots of mobility, and great survivability (even in BGs).

Likely not optimal, but still lots of fun.
Blue food with battlefield acrobat, bloodspawn/trollking masters bow and spriggans

Considering playing a heavy stamsorc this patch, using trollking, seventh, sriggans and master bow.
Now that dizzy is slightly quicker should be easier to land right?
Only thing not sure on race?

if u go with 7th in scalebreaker on stam sorc you gonna be losing out on some big dmg from the last 5 ticks of hurricane as you will have to re-apply to maintain 7th uptime. Truth is better than 7th because of this for cp pvp.

@Syiccal I couldn't find an image or thread about them, but they are the Essence of Health (Restore Health, Restore Stamina, Lingering Health) potions introduced with Elsweyr. Alchemy ingredients are Dragon Blood, Butterfly Wing, and Columbine (or Mountain Flower).

This is my setup, minus master's bow (still need to grind it out, but my group doesn't like vDSA). It hits really hard even without the bow, is fast, and survives well. Sustain is iffy, but the goal is to kill before that matters, or run and reset.

I had the same thought, but the way I play I don't need Hurricane for the damage. 7th is up nearly all the time, and the effect looks cool. Lol

I'm not sure hurricane is really worth it for the damage ,its used to proc crit surge for the heals I'd guess and armour buff

Soul splitting trap is even better to proc crit surge. Hurricane is basically just for the small speed boost and major ward/resolve (and to proc 7th with primary resource).

My build plan when this hits Xbox is Seventh front bar two hander, heavy Orgnums, and Troll King, with Maelstrom SnB back bar (the stam recovery while also gaining heroism is pretty solid). With tri-stat and max recovery food + steed mundus. Going for as much health recovery as I can reasonably get to counter dots and vigor/rally nerfs. Probably going to go infused jewelry with two weapon damage and 1 stam recovery. Planning on using Onslaught as the ultimate and crushing weapon as the spammable. My stamsorc is an Imperial. The cost reduction on top of the sorc cost reduction and the max health and stam is pretty solid.

forgot to also say, truth is just more dmg than 7th too.

You're right but those who run seventh over truth do so for the addition health regen.

Abhaya · August 2019

Truth is the new meta damage set if you don’t care about the health regen from 7th. 7th / trollking is probably strong for heavy builds but truth will be better on medium if you are in CP. I’m not running it just because I play both CP and no-cp and sorcerers don’t have a way to proc truth without tactician.

Tactician passive from CP sets targets off balance when you roll dodge.

I don't personally like managing the proc condition of Truth. It's playstyle issue and I understand why people like Truth, but I think 7th fits my playstyle a bit more.

Playing in heavy also limits the amount of times you can dodge, so there is that as well.

How does off balance work exactly? Would using a shock damage enchantment proc off balance?

If truth gets nerfed because it can be abused in cp I'm going to lose my mind lol. It's a non-issue in no cp.

Fun fact: back when major Evasion meant a chance to auto-dodge they excluded it from proccing the CP passive after a while and in term nerfed Truth with this. But that nerf had other obvious reasons.

TBois · August 2019

I run 5M/2H, 7th/briarhear/troll king/master bow with steed mundus. Felt strong, but still tougher to solo this patch.

Edit:CP isn't accurate for this patch. I've put a lot more investment into thick skinned, but I'm still playing around with it to see what I like.

Do you really run precise on the maul? My Spriggan's Maul is precise and I've been debating if I want to transmute to nirn or not. I'm I heavy so crit is pretty low without precise.

Shock damage applies the concussion debuff not off-balance. Off-balance makes it to where your target will get stunned and receive extra damage from a heavy attack. If you are placing your CP right it also unlocks a passive that gives +10% damage to off-balance enemies.

I also don’t like using proc sets in my builds. There is a link to what I’m currently running in my signature if that interests you. It is a medium build and is a little squishy but I am enjoying it so far.

I do just to make sure I'm getting crit surge proc on cooldown. In medium it's kind of a toss up, in my mind, but in heavy I would definitely recommend it as well as running crit pots.

does seventh legion even worth? im using it on my stamdk but pressing volatile every 10 second.. i dunno. Heavy Hundings also seems good.

Yes it functions just as its tooltip says.

Playing Ravager/Night Mother (to proc ravager) /troll king and I'm having a blast.

I run (around) in my birthday suit a while, sitting on my mount naked is fun.
I love all the /whispers I get how bad I am & The T-bags are a nice touch (me)

Freakin_Hytte · August 2019

Hulking draugr on body, troll king as monster and fury on weapons/jewelry and I use 2H front bar and dw back bar. Works very well so far
