[@vos_is_boss7623]

This is an incredibly thorough video, explaining so much. Thank you for taking the time to make this. I'll be pasting it everywhere!

[@ShermanNx-jc4tp]

Thank you for a clear great run down of the sorcerer and all their details!

[@feralomen]

Another epic build guide with as much detail as one could ask!

[@jessfarris2461]

Nice video bro! Very well done, and can tell you put hella work into it.

[@philipm5043]

Great content and presentation! Thanks!

[@aaronrichards6477]

Wow, ive never come across your page/vidoes. But this is very well done. Definitely found a new subscriber. 😮

[@ryESO]

🙏 a lot of info in here! turned out great

[@eigh1puppies]

Glad you liked it thanks for your help!

[@wdeemarwdeemar8739]

This is an amazing video thank you!

[@jeromemorin9352]

Congratulations on this amazing work! I went from 102k last patch to 119k, using the static rotation with crystal frags and mage's wrath, so really encouraging so far! I hope you'll manage to do the same for other classes, but as a main sorc, I'm already happy now so thanks again.

[@eigh1puppies]

Let’s goooo!!!

[@Valmont187]

Nice work! And whats sets are u using, please?

[@jeromemorin9352]

@@Valmont187 Thanks ! I use the "single target setup", so rele (non perfected)/pillar/kilt/brp daggers/slimecraw as shown in the video.

[@Valmont187]

@@jeromemorin9352 Thanks, man!

[@TheRoibm]

Very nice video. I pretty much get lost in this video and was surprised how quick it was over. Combined with the fact that I don't even play dps really says something.

[@eigh1puppies]

Awesome to hear!

[@happygopher]

Thanks for the video! Is it possible to replace 2h with a stuff with this build? Which skills should I used then? Also when used on a magicka build and keeping the stamina low, isn’t it dangerous in fight when a block/dodge is needed?

[@eigh1puppies]

Realistically any fight can be done with low stamina. If you’re worried, you can run cp like expert evasion to help. You can run it with a staff but you’ll def lose some damage. Run wall over other weapon skill

[@dasyeah2695]

As always, very detailed, good explained and well thought out and researched build video. Awesome work mate, tho not gonna lie i am hoping for a Plar version XD.

[@Warhawk-zk9vc]

Awesome video! This really helped, thank you. Is this setup gonna be the same for necrom?

[@eigh1puppies]

As of now yes

[@kerstinB97]

Thank you 😊😊

[@Izmotus]

A fun over looked aoe set is mad tinkerer. The proc is a pet, shocks enemies, stuns. Crit and spell power stats

[@mRsprinkl1]

Nice!

[@vossboss220]

So why exactly is it better to run flame on the two handed instead of poison? Poison ticks for longer but does flame deal more damage? Or is it an uptime thing since it's only 4 seconds instead of 6? Or does it not matter and it's just preference? Typically if my rotation offers that damage type I pick the enchant opposite of that so there's more opportunities for damage since you can only have one instance of a status effect per target. That being said, I've never actually done the specific numbers to be sure that's consistent in practice

[@eigh1puppies]

It’s just based on what does the most damage. Flame enchant proc burning and burning is strongest status effect in the game. Poison is a close second but not quite as valuable.

[@vossboss220]

@@eigh1puppies ah gotcha tysm 😊

[@Darny3D]

Running a False-God 5 set/RoPO Mythic/Swarm Mother's Hat/Mother's Sorrow Shoulders, Neck and Ring with L Staff/Maelstrom L Staff I can hit about 20k DPS, but I feel I'm not hitting as hard as I could. I play solo, don't have any guilds so nobody to easily group with for trials/arenas. Any advice? Gonna see about grinding for this build and trying my luck.

[@eigh1puppies]

Are you parsing on a 21 mil dummy?

[@exoib]

Order's wrath is not from Galen mate, it's a craftable set from High Isle and Backalley Gourmand is from Galen. Good guide regardless.

[@eigh1puppies]

Lord all this work just for a silly mistake like that XD Thanks for pointing it out!

[@exoib]

@@eigh1puppies the guide is really awesome and detailed, it's alright.

[@fifakillerxz]

hey, what about pbahsei+tzorgvin? is not good ? i remember when i played that it was really strong.

[@eigh1puppies]

yup that is a fantastic set up!

[@Jorgy411]

This build looks fun. Is this build still up to date? Or should I tweek something to better hone in on DPS?

[@eigh1puppies]

This one is a bit out of date, I plan on updating it relatively soon :)

[@surmankeith]

While I realize that the meta is dual wielding or two handed, for me it’s not fun to play. I like my mag characters to use staves, i realize it’s lower damage but if forced to use daggers i will simply quit the game. No sense in playing if i am not having fun. (Rambling, yes. Sorry about that.)

[@XoxoKawaiiGirl]

Nah you are right. Staffs need buffs. I shouldn't be using a 2hander on a magic class. Get hybrid, but everything shouldn't have to be that way. It's lame.

[@XYZ_55]

@@XoxoKawaiiGirl Staves do have a buff. You can use them at a distance.

[@MegaDj10000]

You said it all. For me, sorcerer only makes sense with a stave. Imagine Gandalf with a 2 handed weapon😅 This game is awesome but this kind of thing makes people leave it.

[@eigh1puppies]

Yeah I hope to see them bring that diversity back in the future

[@Tacet137]

I agree it's just supper un immersive

[@tylerdurden262]

thx, is Coral Riptide still best in slot if you play as stamina?

[@XYZ_55]

Yes, relequen is close though, and much easier to use obviously

[@ryESO]

if you can get good coral uptimes, I found that coral performs about 3-4k over rele.

[@eigh1puppies]

For the sorc, if you maximize your damage with it properly, yes as replies have said :)

[@starinthesky8663]

👌

[@eyezwideshut]

Pillar and Tzo warband? For someone without access to the other set

[@eigh1puppies]

Not a bad set up!

[@DaddySadiist]

What Staves should I use? You said you'd put them in Discord but I don't see them. Idk if I'm just blind or not though lol.

[@eigh1puppies]

Like a dual staff setup?

[@DaddySadiist]

@@eigh1puppies Yes

[@elixstex2012]

How do you hit 5 times with wb inbetween? I don’t even have that much time 😂 Great Video, keep up your awesome work 👌🏽

[@eigh1puppies]

Just practice! It’s just like frag spamming :)

[@trime1015]

Maybe I missed it, but do you mention attributes? I made a Highelf, do I just go full-on magicka?

[@eigh1puppies]

Very briefly, just all into mag

[@trime1015]

gotcha thx@@eigh1puppies

[@saucyboy9719]

How to you sustain your stam during your parse? I just tried it out and my stam is getting burnt after a few rotations

[@ryESO]

You shouldnt have too much of an issue with sustain. Hard cast frags when needed but its a damage loss to do so. Start your parse with a potion halfway on cooldown like i did and wait a few seconds before taking the synergy. If you still have issues, we can examine further.

[@saucyboy9719]

@@ryESO thank you I’ll get back to you after I try it again also great video!

[@crimsonshadowx6]

i wish there was class change token

[@pelopix6233]

Hey, should I be a vampire or a werewolf for this build? I don't think you mentioned it and you probably don't use such a thing here, but I want to make sure when I completing the build ^^

[@eigh1puppies]

Doesn’t make a difference either way! I’d probably advise against vampire though because sustain is already tough as is on this class!

[@MrBoston1630]

this is cool and luckily Im on pc, but that swapping thing looks like something they should do something about, as I can imagine that that's not a skill floor that most people want. looks kind of annoying if anything

[@eigh1puppies]

It’s not terrible when you get the hang of it :)

[@bm-ww8kb]

lol ya its both terrible and not going anywhere

[@italoferreira5418]

what was the gear for the parse?

[@eigh1puppies]

Riptide/Pillar: Also in description

[@wolfofodin1996]

Is this still viable for necrom have a sorcerer i most rework

[@eigh1puppies]

Still viable!

[@vladimirsviridov7114]

Deadly cloak is no longer worthwhile for using after its nerf. I’d recommend other morph (30 seconds duration)

[@eigh1puppies]

It depends on the fight. Deadly is still stronger than quick cloak, but if the fight types line up well enough to cast quick cloak only once or twice without it dropping then it’s more worth running

[@denysk.1178]

What about bleeding strike from dual wield? It seems to be best dot since it always applies hemmorage on top of it.

[@Kermit_E_Frog]

​@@denysk.1178the gear and the major evasion is like 50% of the reason to use cloak

[@sgray7391]

So we dont ever actually uses twilight tormentors ability ever?

[@eigh1puppies]

Right at the beginning and never again

[@wolfofodin1996]

And the double staff setup i couldn't find it

[@eigh1puppies]

In the discord and should be in the skill setups

in description. Link not workin?

no heals?

[@Kermit_E_Frog]

Magicka sorc- two hand spammable I hate this game now

[@WolfSkorpius]

why is no creator just making videos that just give you what to run without all these explanations. sure the explanations are good for beginners but for me I just need a video of what to run. videos to run used to be simple now there is no video just saying what to run. it's a little irritating.

[@eigh1puppies]

Check out Charles. Plenty of creators out there to check out without wining in the comments section of other creators :)

[@WolfSkorpius]

@eigh1puppies wasn't whining just making a statement. some of us who have played the game for years just need creators to make simple builds that tell us what to run for max damage. creators nowadays are too focused on beginner players and forget about the others that have been playing for years. you creators are super important and make the game easier since eso is so massive the game creators don't tell us everything about the game. I do admire you creators but some of us need a short, simple, and to the point builds to run. I work 2 jobs and don't play as often as I want. I've looked around and most of the creators are doing the same thing. appeasing the new players. it would be great if older players like myself would get build videos that are short with some explanation as why to run the best skills and gear but we don't need multiple options for console players.

[@eigh1puppies]

Yeah sure I understand that but there are creators who make short content. Post a parse and a build and there you go, it's all in the description. This video isn't for beginners, it's for people who want to understand everything that they can about a class. There is info in here that's related to score pushing. If you want a basic setup and don't want to watch the full video, most creators, usually myself included, post a link to a picture of the build in the description. Charles posts 3 minute parse videos with the build. You can't expect to understand everything about a class in three minutes, but if that's all the time you have, that's as good as it gets

[@Chris-gr7ll]

That sounds almost like a paradox, if you don't get anything from explanation then why do you need the video at all just look at set items in game xD

[@Mr-Borin]

Pause on start why the hell 2 hours come on really i must waist 2 hours of my life for a video that may or may not work make it short

[@eigh1puppies]

Seems you missed the point, I gave you a way to make a build work for every piece of 12 man content as well as generic solo and 4 man set ups 🤷‍♂️

@@eigh1puppies can't missed the point if never watched the Video not spending 2hours to hear a build
