you look at builds and it seems everyone uses flame enchant, but lightning does extra damage for sorc, is there a reason to use flame over lightning even though the base damage is lower?

    Burning? To elaborate weapon enchants have the best chance of causing a status effect. Flame= burning a 4 second dot.

    ok, thanks...yeah, i was looking at that, just wasn't sure if the dot would be worth more than the extra damage from the sorc passive + the added concussed chance?

    Keep in mind as well that a big part of the reason fire overperforms so much is that in optimized groups all fire damage gets a 10% boost from the magdk.

    And concussed is usually the healers or (off-) tanks responsibility. At least in trials.

    In Group Dungeons it is a different thing.
    If anyone here says: OH! But, PVP! I swear I'll ...

    Thank you for the valuable input and respectfully recommend to discuss that aspect of ESO on the PVP forum.
