    You could try Elemental Weapon as a spammable with DW/2H sword(s). I'm also curious to see how well vMA DW works now on a mag character. Probably be best on a DK but Sorc might be ok as well.

    Yeah, ele weapon would be a better spammable if you can weave alright. I woulf change lightning flood for like soul-splitting trap as well. Just a better aoe rn. Maybe haunting front bar too.

    Don't bother, you do anything fun or abnormal and you can bet it will get nerfed someway, somehow next patch. Always happens as a result of overall "balance" changes because they won't target OP sets...Just wait...

    I got hooked on playing a melee magicka nightblade at one point due to the meta being reflect-averse in pvp, but I realized I liked it. I don't know if sorc would have many utilities to make the most of it, but melee magicka specs don't seem to work very well in this game. I feel like often times I'm giving up stats for the RP flavoring.

    I don't know why they can't implement dual wielded wands XD they would sort of function like overload, but instead just be mini-destro light/heavy attacks. They would function on the destro skill line, and would not be affected by the dual-wield skill line.

    Don't listen to these kinds of people, they avert their eyes from reality.

    All mag sorcs are "melee", whether we like it or not.

    I saw this melee magblade build.

    Shouldn't be that difficult to adapt to sorc...

    for casual non-vet you can

    run around with bare hands

    and occasional pieces of laundered

    stolen purely cosmetic items...


    if (as you said) you are not after numbers

    use whatver you like in any combination)

    it is a matter of taste and fun...

    untill it comes to vet where numbers are the king
