ESO PvP: MagSorc EASY and STRONG HIGH Max Mag BURST and 15k+ Shields (U41) | "The Magicka Stacker"

[@JimmyCapricorn77]

Great build! I always wondered how these people were getting such strong damage shields.

[@coledog007]

good build, I saw you out there. You and your buddies hit hard. 2 and 3 sorcs are tough to deal with

[@lucky1time811]

Mag sorc is back baby!! It’s been way too long!

[@Hexapug]

Haha for real! It was so nice dusting off the ol’ MagSorc

[@michaelrubera5576]

lol what are you talking about mag sorc been really good for years

[@ABathRobeSamurai]

havnt played since OG console remember just mid max sorc.....your video reminded me of so much joy. wanted to get back into ESO but its been such a long time. not even sure where to start and i play PC now.. so much has probably changed in the last 10 years

[@johnhoot8336]

It has changed a lot, but its doable. Get into a trade guild in a good city like mournhold or vivec city, flip items to get some gold and the rest will fall into place. Also, just get the gold road collection, it includes all chapters n such

[@lewisth987]

Really enjoying this build thank you, was just wondering, is there any adjustments you would make to optimise it specifically for battlegrounds? Or is it good as it is?

[@wasteland-werewolf]

Love this old school build. I need the death dealers fete. Just missing the lead from IC

Good video thank you!

Looking 2 on point like a viking helmet! Keep it up my guy.

[@Kagge1993]

Hey Hexa im a returning player (3-4years of break). Could i run this also in pve? I would slot infallible Mage Jewelry and put 5p Max Mag on my body-parts. Sind im just coming back im overwhelmed and dont know how to start again and what i should farm first :D

[@Hey-Jensen]

Nice build :D!

[@dueler8281]

I get a 20k shield with BRP resto/draugrkin build hits like a truck and your heals are instant paired with focused mending CP. you could squeeze more mag by dropping that BRP resto but that 12% more healing is insane and I feel it outweighs that extra shield strength.

Would high elf be viable on this build?

Definitely, if you’re Mag sustain is a bit rough I’d swap out the Jewelry enchant for Weapon and Spell damage for a Reduce Mag Cost enchant

@@Hexapug Gotcha, appreciate it!

[@jeffersonmatos4774]

hi great video ! Does this build still works in new update , also what other mythic could I use if I dont have the one you mentioned?

[@Hexapug]

This build still works perfectly! The new Saint and Seducer mythic is good alternative, anything else isn’t as good, I highly recommend farming Death Dealer’s

[@velef]

amazing build and work dude! u think any other options for race or only breton?

[@velef]

something like khajiit

[@coaze]

High elf/khajit works more damage but less sustain

[@Hexapug]

Sorry for the delay, I very much enjoy Breton as I can invest more into damage and have Tankiness on top of it, but Khajiit would definitely hit the hardest, you’d just have to invest more into recov on your jewelry enchants

[@thepatriot6966]

@@coaze False. My High Elf Sorc with food buff has 2150 regen that goes over 2550 with a pot. I have 53k magicka. 29.5k health and 13.6k pen that goes up to 18.4k with destruction staff debuff. Buffed magic and weapon attack exceeds 3400. And i run no mythic or proc set in CP Cyrodiil. I do alright 😁

Great build

[@ZombroESOGod]

Seems like this would probably be pretty good in PvE too. Don't need some of the same skills but yeah.

[@vaderd4353]

I run rc front bar, wretched back, mighty chundan and ddf. Very strong, still gets around 44k max mage I think, don't run mages fury as ele susceptibility replaces it now and dawn breaker front bar overload back, can combo the overload into Dawn breaker.

[@vaderd4353]

Lightning front, Ice staff back

[@vaderd4353]

Also curse back bar with wep dmg enchant ice staff

[@juansolis8498]

Those the new set blind the last passive Gives you 13% shield on top give you 13% heal those this set stacks with black rose staff gives you 13% both too

[@brizzle7123]

i followed your build but my stats are nowhere near. can you do a full breakdown on paper for us? i know im missing something somewhere.

[@harveygardner6916]

Which skill would you recommend swapping out for boundless?

[@Hexapug]

Swap out Crit Surge but you’d be restricted to running Spell Crit/Damage pots, the AP vendors perfectly fine

[@Ramesou]

Man made me re download eso never though that day would have came.

Great build but I really dislike Tigger players bouncing around the screen like their legs are made of springs 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@dadbodgamingxb1918]

Have u tested a 1 bar sorc? They feel pretty solid

[@zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz9]

Good stuff. AD for the win. Fuck DC and EP. Spell crafting will break the game

[@lorenzoaalbino2422]

Hey bro, do you think that the build would work anyway even without death dealer's fate or any other mythic item?

[@Hexapug]

You could possibly swap out the mythic for a second Trainee which is great in Ravenwatch, anywhere else I’d highly recommend getting your hands on mythics you’re going to be at a disadvantage in PvP

[@ЕвгенийНосач-х6ю]

I'm using same with markyn, so I have it 3 times frontbar, helps much with resists and dmg. Also I'm high elf.

[@Coursicc]

@@ЕвгенийНосач-х6юso you drop mighty chudan and trainee for wretched vitality right ?

This man said "Its time"

[@kwakbeukbaktv2617]

Heya cool build! Maybe this is a dumb question but where do u get ur hp from? Im new and i have 19k heath without food...

[@Hexapug]

No dumb sincere questions here, I get about 4k from my food, and the mythic “Death Dealer’s Fete” gives me about 2.6k health, so after Undaunted 6% and Heavy Armor 4% to health that’s how it stacks up to like 7k+ more Health

[@kwakbeukbaktv2617]

Thanks alot now i know what im missing👌

[@chimairah]

What trait for the ice staff would you use?

[@Hexapug]

I’d highly preferred Defending, but Powered is a good alternative

[@GodTyr]

How big of an effect does race fully have on the build? My sorc is a high elf and I really dont want to change their race just for pvp

[@Hexapug]

It’s not the end of the world, you can work around races, try it out and if your sustain is a little rough I’d go a reduce mag cost enchant on your 3rd piece of jewelry, High Elf is good too because of the Max Mag

[@vaderd4353]

I swapped from high elf to breton and its much better

[@Bel-Zeb-Uth]

why are you jumping every time ?

[@LaheyJ]

No volume here. Mighta missed it. Breach?????

[@DoomKnightPK]

You got a video for the BattleMage????

[@Hexapug]

Not as of rn, but I definitely will soon

[@hmotor6]

Does Markyn work over death dealer fete?

[@Hexapug]

Markyn is viable, however Death Dealer’s is overall best on this because we’re able to get more Max health for our shields cap to up and it we can dump our attributes into full Max Mag, plus it gives Max Mag for more damage and bigger shields

[@stefanosk6905]

Good day, Is there a written guide for this? :3

[@Duwap1017]

is there any way i could fit race against time on my backbar ?

[@Hexapug]

I was always a believer of Race against Time on all my builds, but I felt it really wasn’t necessary on Sorc, but if you need it because I understand lol, I would swap out Crit Surge for it and then run Mag, Spell Crit/Spell pots

[@am_gated9071]

You literally don't need rat sorc has a minor force buff and major expedition buff in the class kit .....

[@Hexapug]

@am_gated9071 Well this build is NOT a StamSorc so we’re not running Dark Deal, and as you can see we’re not running an Armor as seen by Chudan to free up space, also Race has the invaluable utility of snare and root cleanse and immunity

[@Chris-tj8cq]

how are you getting over 100 frames on pc? mine is capped at 100 for some reason

[@Hexapug]

Have you checked the FPS limit in the Video settings?

[@thomashutchison691]

Have you thought about 3 piece ancient on fb crafty all the time and wretched vitality back bar? What do you think?

[@Hexapug]

You’d have to break your 2 piece monster set for it, but it does sound like a very good alternative set up especially if you prefer Ward on front bar, I’d go Death Dealer’s with it and you’d have to slot the Sorc armor buff, but overall very solid and spicy, you could even maybe look into having the Asylum Lightning front bar, and save your 2 piece monster That’s what I love about Sorc rn, so many ways to build it!

[@Budu_27]

For (solo) sorcs: stay away from light's champion you'll die, use life giver morph instead, thrust me.

[@rwmorris35]

If you don’t have the Chudan shoulder already - well, bad news. You can’t get it any longer and Zos doesn’t seem to know how to fix it. The vendor just stopped selling it. Zos is ‘working on it’, of course

[@Hexapug]

This was fixed on PC 2 weeks later, so it should be fixed in 2 weeks for console from what it looks like

[@throatcoater3]

[@Hexapug]

@throatcoater3 Oh yeah most definitely, I love the Ulti spam from Bloodspawn just make sure to slot Boundless Storm for your Sorc armor buff

[@throatcoater3]

@@Hexapug the major resolve is nice, what would you swap out for bound storm? Is the heals from crit surge worth or set and forget inner light better? Also major brutality… it’s so hard to get everything you want on sorc lol

Just a heads up I know you probs have the answer already but I was able to get the chudan shoulders today.

[@run8scap80201]

Why not high elf?

[@trox3471]

hey would you use that over magdk?

[@Hexapug]

Yes I’d play MagSorc over almost any class rn, because Sorcs can burst you from a mile a away and can streak away instantly from melee builds

[@mr.frowbrow8759]

i agree with empen

@@Hexapug for sure, but these changes and sets have made the game boring for me.

[@nomad4594]

Is the jumping a timing thing?

[@mccaeanderson9002]

Great vid. Any alternatives for people without ESO Plus? I notice half the set relies on DLC content.

[@Hexapug]

Crafty Alfiq is purchasable from guild traders, as for Death Dealer’s swap it for a 2nd piece of Trainee and for the Monster Helm run Bloodspawn and run the Sorc armor skill Boundless storm

[@vncthomas]

Well I have 44,832 mag. I dont have death dealers, using torc of tonal, and im an orc, but it should not be that much of a difference, not sure why mines so off

[@Hexapug]

Are you running 7 Max Mag enchants, full Arcane jewelry with Tri Stat food, the Mage, Bound Aegis, no pet with Expert Summoner, Undaunted 9, the Blue CP Max Mag Slottable and Passive?

[@vncthomas]

I got it forgot to change my attribute points thanks!! Great video btw...

Good we need classes to have high damage. I rather get bursted then to be in a 50 year stalemate

[@aidensilgram6606]

Yo I don't have the ring can i use something else.

[@Hexapug]

You can use a 2nd piece of Trainee, but I highly recommend getting the Mythic

[@Juice421fs]

Hows this build for solo pve?

[@Hexapug]

I would highly recommend not using this in PvE, as all my builds are specialized for PvP

[@Juice421fs]

@Hexapug ok thanks. Just hard to find a solo build for sorc that isn't old or boring 1 bar!

[@jbob3744]

Run the 10 second stam drain poison instead

[@JessRaiden]

Anything to replace lifegiver bc I don't have that lol

[@puck2767]

You can run temporal guard on the back bar as well, great defensive if you have the psijic order skill line

[@Hexapug]

Honestly Meteor could be real good for the extra Max Mag, Undo for cheese undo back onto a keep, or Overload because Overload light attack spam hits really hard rn

[@PnoyBoi4Ever]

This feels like old meta mag stacking. Wouldn't you be better off wearing weapon spell/damage bonus sets since shields no longer scale off of Magicka? Also isn't weapon spell damage scale better on tooltip numbers? Unless this is only to spam streak which is why even bothering reaching 60k max mag

[@Hexapug]

Max Mag is way better, you get 24% extra Max Mag from Undaunted, Sorc Passive and Bound Aegis Hardened Ward still scales off Max Mag plus the heal only scales of your Max Mag, so it triple dips into the whole build Max Mag gives more damage, stronger shields and stronger heal

[@PnoyBoi4Ever]

@@Hexapug Ah okay. But I thought shields scale off of your health? It went back to max mag again?

[@Hexapug]

So most of the shields have a Max Health “Cap” meaning your shield will not exceed a certain amount, while Hardened Ward has the ability of scaling of your Max Health instead of Max Mag which doesn’t scale well in PvP For example, if we have 30k health and our Hardened Ward is capped at 72% of our Max Health the shield will only be able to go up to about 21.5k no more, which will never happen in PvP because of Battle Spirit reducing shield strength, it was mainly a PvE nerf

Ward front bar is the way and has been for a while. Losing pressure having to swap bars to a completely defensive bar that has not one but THREE heals is wild. Sorc doesn’t need all that at this point
