Strongest Sorcerer So Far - ESO Solo Magicka Sorcerer - EZ solo and group DPS

No trial gear needed. Due to recent changes, this build is the strongest I've ever seen the magicka sorcerer. This MagSorc build is perfect for ALL content in the game. Perfect for soloing anything, such as veteran Vateshran Hallows, Maelstrom Arena, World Bosses, Questing. It also easily handles veteran group content! Enjoy!

What the gear for not using the ring, aka vet dungeons and trials?

[@itsnay7382]

hey this might be a stupid question but do we light weave or heavy weave attack or do we just spam our class abilitys instead of wep dmg

Can't wait to try out this build! Mag Sorc was my main for a long time and this build is getting me excited to play it again

I started the game since u were stuck at the island xD really thanks for your fully detailed , simple and expert guides it helped and still helps me enjoying this game .. Cheers to you :D

[@tobiastschenisch3713]

Hello, thanks for the video and your written guides. You even mention where to find the gear. Very reader/watcher friendly. Great work! Have a nice weekend.

[@ITSDESHY]

always love the cool spots you find in these videos Lucky! ^_^

[@wizzle4439]

Ooh, a very nice surprise this morning. I like the armor choices! :)

[@KingMJAH]

Love your videos, your solo builds helped me understand how to play the game, now that I don’t suck as bad I feel confident using skills I find cool ( even if they’re not as good ) I made a pet less sorcerer vamp using there health recovery to sustain frenzy also using the many resource reducing passives to lower its costs. Using the vamp ultimate for sustain as well. Not as good as your builds but I’m having fun.

[@ede7722]

Yet another extremely helpful and thorough guide. Thank you

[@ryanmitchell6721]

I do play this class different than most, but I've found that replacing 2 pet skills with damage shields is totally worth it. I pair Regeneration Aura with Conjured Ward and Annulment to get a huge buffer that lets me swap back to my nukes and pew pew back to full health. It is a little less damage than some sorcs, but the sustain I get from it allows me to put on an overwhelming amount of pressure. I also run Mages Wrath now, the extra damage below 20% health really helps to secure kills. 👍

[@teemumiettinen7250]

you are missing a lot of dps if you dont run pets. You should not need any other healing skills that critical surge, if critical surge is not enough, you need to get your critical chance higher, the problem is not the skills its most likely your stats. mages wrath can be used situationally as finisher. I seriously hope you are not running any veteran content and slowing down your team with unoptimized build like that.

[@lordoftheawoken4044]

Great Video Lucky, Sorceror was my first class even when I didn't know anything about the game and I picked it literally because I thought I could make it into a spellsword my favorite class from skyrim. While it's not my main anymore and my frost warden healer has taken that spot in my heart it will always be the class I started with in my first mmo. Again great build and sorry I rambled a bit but your builds have made a profound impact on me. The only thing I wish is that the ring of the pale order wasn't a part of every solo build which stings because I don't have it. Thanks again.

[@juice2691]

@Patches O' Houlihan I run war maiden with innate axiom on my magblade and it hits super hard.

Bro it’s not hard just takes time to raise your skill level high enough to get it. Well worth it thou. While ur lvling Excavation up- run the dungeons and WB needed to get ur lead. Alcast has a good guide as well

I've been waiting for this build!

[@loreanawrench4470]

loved your magplar build finally got what the builds were said to get. I tried the other builds of yours for the other classes and cant seem to get any better dps. although this rotation is at least easier than the other builds i have tried

[@xhlb69x]

I only have 3 toons because I'm so tired of having a ton of alts to log into and I've been perfectly happy with that. Then in the first minute of this video you've convinced me on why I need a sorcerer.

Hi lucky, great video and definitely using this build. I’m also curious on when or if you can do a tank build for any class really,due to my next character is going to be a tank. Keep up the great work by the way!

[@CreepyRecordings]

Omg tysm dude! I am ch480 and new to game been playing since November 2021. I tried many 100k builds nothing worked for me I kept hitting max 20k-30k on critical not constant. With your build and easy dynamic rotation I hit first time 80k critical and 29k constant.

[@CreepyRecordings]

I use ur food- potion- skills- passives but I use bahsei-kinras-maelstrom-slimecraw-kilt all gold.. thx for explaining the rotation in a clear way I love u dude this made playing my main magicka sorc so much more fun

[@guilledeleon3547]

Hey man love the videos you really help me understand the game so thankyou! Just wondering if this build is still strong to solo even if I dont have all the gear yet? In other words im probably gonna use the skills setup you showed in this video to get the gear to eventually have the full setup with the maelstrom staff etc but currently kind of just rocking PVP gear tbh lol. Anyways appreciate the help! Keep it up!

[@JessRaiden]

I love this video alot going to grind for the gear right after !! but on your site there are two of them is there a difference ? between the sorc pve dps and sorc solo?

[@markg7555]

Great video Lucky, one question on the written guide, it has SORCERER 2 PET SETUP and SORCERER 1 PET SETUP, is this 2 different builds for different occassions? If so, when do you use one and not the other?

[@glajah6380]

Thanks for the content as always. I have everything but the Pillar gear for the main build. What do you suggest as a good alternative while I farm that set of jewelry and inferno staff? Thanks

Trying to build toward this, finally was able to get the two monster set for iceheart, however doing veteran dungeon feels the final boss is unkillable. Is this build viable with only magnus, julianos and iceheart or do I need to go for the final gear also ? Either way I do not have the dlc for malestrom arena, only have base game and all chapters up to blackwood, what would be your recommendation to finish the build then ?

[@garretthaywood37]

Sorry for the double reply, but would warden work great in this build by chance?

[@redrel21]

@luckyghost I have collected almost the entire BSW set and Pillar of Nirn except the dreadful inferno staff, neck and BSW pants which seems it has a ridiculously low drop rate lol. Lucky is there an alternative to the inferno staff ? I want to run this setup for arena's as optimal as possible but I spent all week farming for it with no drops :(

[@MBA.majorbankaccount]

With the new smart loot system you’re guaranteed to get it if you keep grinding: in your sticker book you can see what pieces you have, count the weapons from all 3 sets for that dungeon you are missing and at max that is the number of times you’ll have to run it to get it. You can speed up the process by running with a friend to help fill your book faster. Hope this helps.

[@thrcnbonly1725]

Another exclnt vid. I run same skills excpt I/Light instead if orb. damage is insane, C/frag also heals you via dark magic passive. My build gives me @2700 health per sec. With crit surg I get @6000 health per sec. Almost unkillable. Frag spamming is its own meta. I run what i call the crit build, medusa/sorrow/slime. Kilt in group, Pale order solo. It nukes everything. Kepp the great content coming. Always enjoy your vids. Cheers.

[@kevinmattern841]

Hello… awesome video… question… can I move boundless storm to the back bar so I can cast when I do surge or is there a reason why it has to be on first bar… I would move mystic orb to front as I have to reapply a lot sooner than boundless and surge… thank you in advance

[@kerschraphael]

15:57 watch here why it's on your frontbar

[@redrel21]

@lucky ghost great video not a max level yet but close. Noticed my dps is pretty crappy, running dungeons trying to learn the rotation but keeping boundless storms and critical surge up has been a pain in the butt. Still dont have mystic orb unlocked yet so my Aoe isnt that great either. Please tell me it gets better with gear.

[@LuckyGhost]

yeah without gear you're kinda just a walking pile of trash in eso, no offense. this isn't a you problem, its just how the game is. get the gear, then see how it feels! good luck

Hey Lucky. I have been using ur build, and it’s Good! I want to make it my own- With Sorc and pets working well together, I was thinking.

Would you not make more damage if u put barbed trap instead of boundless storm and put it on the back bar and remove the mystic orb for the extra 10% crit damage and the extra magic power?
