Holy Ghosts! Its like my birthday all week with all the content you are dropping :) Thanks Lucky, I am closely following 4 of your solo builds just from this week. BlackWood won't stand a chance
Hey, thank you for putting this together, man! I appreciate it. Minor discrepancy though on your written guide. The gear table says "light" for your Medusa chest.
looks awesome. personaly i like using fully channelled lightning staff with ward and crystal frag on my front bar. cast ward between each heavy, only cast frags when it procs. lightning wall of elements for slot 3, pets on 4 and 5. lightning dots/buffs on the back. super easy works like a charm
@@LuckyGhost no idea im super casual. i would be interested to see how a veteran takes it though if you care to try. edit: its more for the looks and feel of using almost all lightning abilities than being minmaxed
I like to pick 1 bar, and fill it with Sorceries for the Expert Mage passive. On my Solo Sorcerer, this is a Lightning Staff, because it stacks on Ancient Knowledge for any AoE, and Energized for any Shock (or Physical) damage up to 25% before you start casting buffs like Major Sorcery. Now, if you take a look at Storm Calling, Mage's Wrath, Boundless Storm, Liquid Lightning, and Streak all do AoE Shock Damage. So does Volatile Familiar, and Charged Atronach (In Daedric Summoning.) Whatever you want on the other bar, 1H&S? (Max Magicka, so I'm going to say Necropotence) Dual Daggers? (Crit Chance) Battleaxe? (Crit Damage) Fire Staff (Single target, which is why my Maelstrom Staff goes to the Dragonkite) Ice Staff (Light tankette. Not a tankety Tank Tank, but you can stack up to 5 different Bubbles if you like) or Bow (Hybrid)
Hey lucky Ghost if you are not a high cp level do you put thé cp in order of thé written guide and don't get thé next thing until you have enough cp or do you need to put some Points in earlier ?
Videos like these are great...thanks! I would like to make a suggestion for videos geared to beginners...be sure to include the dps range for the build because a lot of new players are trying to reach the 15k threshold so they may one day be able to do a trial. And build videos that do at least 15k WITHOUT needing every piece of gear to be perfect would be helpful.
A very nice build but there are a few minor issues: daedric prey isn't a DoT but a delayed direct dmg ability so it'll scale with master of arms and you should only cast tormentor prior to starting combat as enraging the pet does less damage than your spammable. Otherwise an excellent guide for solo sorc, personally I just use crit surge and not pale order ring but both work very well.
Awesome build ! Ive tried and I can solo most of the content ! can I ask , would you prefer Medusa or mother sorrow ? I got the idea of replacing Medusa with mother sorrow , as I feel like mother sorrow will worth more the investment as many other build use it too , but the Medusa 10% crit damage is just too attractive , but it lost some spell crit and penetration due to the 1 heavy chest, does it really affects much or it does even more damage compared to mother sorrow ? Also may I know your DPS on this build ? I’m on average 19k on a 3 mil dummy at CP200 without any pot , is it consider low ?
Mother Sorrow has only that Magicka Line which makes it stronger and a little tiny bit more crit chance, but it doesnt has the minor Force buff, so you had to get this buff through other means (barbed trap / acceleration), meaning also loosing another skill slot, while you dont have many. This way it isnt very suitable for a solo build (were you need any slot you can get) or all situations where you need all the slots for something else. Further Mother Sorrow isnt suitable for short fights, because it is weaker without the minor force buff and getting out this buff in short fights will decrease your overall damage. Also if you only frontbar one of them and dont have minor force in either case (because no barspace left), the bonusses of Medusa are even better on backbar than those of Mother Sorrow. So in non optimal (/ solo) situations medusa is (by far) better. Mother Sorrow is only good if you are going to use it on body, for example Mother Sorrow (body) + Medusa (Jewelry + Weapons) if you dont have access to trial gear (most trial gear is better than any of both). Medusa is on the other hand would be a really bad choice if you put (have to put) it on body, because its a heavy set. But if you want to build a little bit more tanky, going for example death dealers fete + medusa on jewelry + weapon + 1 medusa chest piece would make you incredible more tanky without sacrificing to much damage.
Lucky great job getting out updates so fast! Can you share your thoughts on how you would modify this to optimize DPS for parsing and trial group content? This is a great solo build but I am struggling to find the ideal gear changes and rotation to push this into the 80K+ parse. Please tell Desh that I love the new video text effect transitions
Hey Lucky, great content man! Is there any way you could show the skills/morphs in the video while you’re going through them like you do for the passives? Love the videos!
If you don't have these pieces yet, and don't want to run around in just your Nordic bathers towel, what *crafted* sets should you use for this build while you're hearing up?
in your written guide, you said the false god's set as an honorable mention, but there's no further explanation. so is that set your recommended final gear that you would need? if so, which pieces does it replaces? the Burning Spellweave set, or the medusa set? btw thanks for the written guide, very helpful for me since I just started playing the game again.
Hey, I can't get some of the armor for the low lvl because I don't have orsnium, do I run full magnus or replace those bits with that other dungeon set used in there?
so I'm confused in the vid its saying to use one slim craws, medusa, and spell weave but the written guide says Bahsei and and for started gear it say Magnus and Julianos so i don't know what to use and how many of witch i get that it says for medusa the chest and jewelry and front bar weapon is the rest spell weave can i get some insight on this because again the Witten guide doesn't match the video when it comes to gear
3:15 says its all base game gear but ring of pale order you need to have the greymoor dlc to access scrying to get it so that sucks for people that only have base game like me.
I've been looking at parses with CMX that guildies post on their magsorcs, and they never seem to have casts on Twilight Tormentor, no matter their build. Are they missing out on optimized damage by not casting it while the dummy (or enemy) is > 50% health? It looks that way to me mathematically...
Annnnnd, can the pets proc concussed with their shock auto damage? What about activated abilities? If so, does the chance scale from player chance (including CP boost)?
I've come to realise I don't actually play the game normally. I just play builds Hack and lucky makes. Once perfected I go onto the next.... Is this a new way of playing ESO? 😂😂😂
I'm still playing the same Magcro vamp from 4 years ago. She still kills......I drop 3 5man mobs in public dungeons is 2.5-3 seconds. Haven't found a better build.
The 5th piece is there, on the shoulder. I assume that's the one you're not noticing. Check out the written guide in the description for any other details you may have missed
@@LuckyGhost I'm with these guys. lol. You only can wear 12 pieces altogether. You have 5pc of Spellweave, 1 Maelstrom weap, 1 Monster helm, and 1 Ring of the Pale order. That's 8pcs right there. only leaving 4 for the Medusa. The only way I can see getting a 5th piece is either using 2 daggers of Medusa or dropping the Pale ring
@@phyyyyer9775 2 hand weapons count as 2 pieces of a set. 😆 how do you think we get the 2 piece maelstrom staff bonus while wearing only one maelstrom staff
Well I tried some of this build on my toon Dobbythefreeelf. When Crystal Shards was proc'n I was hitting for 100k maybe a little over on the trial dummy. I had minor changes kept tormentor and took inner light for the pet. (only because I just created this sorc don't have everything unlocked) I can't wait to test it out in vet dungeons solo.
edit: In the Video it was said the written would have a ONE pet bar, I checked and it doesn't have one pet. It has two, fi you have one with just one pet I would like to see it. Found it, was under the two pet bar.
I wouldn't mind pets, but my issue is I can hear the shuffling of their feet and or flapping of the wings, turns out I can't drown out the sound and it actually pisses me off eventually.
ummm 500~ its possible before that but the items you get in normal are 99% as goood as so much easier to get so no reason to beat your head against the wall yet unless you really just enjoy a good challenge, the go for it!
Build is OK but I think I need an advise. Can you write full rotation for one pet (familiar) setup? I'm still learning the mechanics of this game after months of reaserch
So I think im either not understanding something or stroking out but how do you get the 5 item buff for both medusa and spellweave? Between armor and jewlery thats 10 slots and weapon makes 11. If your using slimecraw and pale order thats drops the open slots to 9. What am I missing to make this make sense?
Hey man, love your content. Been binging it since I started playing ESO (roughly 2 weeks ago). I'm almost 160CP magicka sorcerer already and I'm really thinking about armor and builds for when I get there. I notice you've made a lot of builds with the intent to solo content but you haven't really covered the best builds for running dungeons/trials in groups (at least not recently, haven't gone on a deep dive). I know some of the builds could translate well to group content but I noticed that with things like The Ring of the Pale Order, it's pretty solo specific. I would love to see an optimized build designed for groups if you get the chance, thanks.
@@LuckyGhost Thanks! 1 more quick question while I have your attention. I was looking at this build eso.justlootit.com/builds/sorcerer-builds-eso/magicka-sorcerer-build-eso/#skills And in the skill lineage and rotation you mention channeled acceleration, but in the skills above the chart you have empowered ward instead. Which do you actually prefer to use?
I’m trying this build out but I’m having trouble surviving, the only way I’m getting health back is with doing damage with your other solo magsorc build I had the pet to heal, and the rotation feels a bit weird.
Remember this is before the buff to ring of the pale order. The ring is gonna be uncapped so ur sustain is gonna be insane once it gets buffed on the expansion
OMG YES ! LUCKY I AM THE GUY THAT TOLD YOU ON TODAYS STREAM THAT I GOT BORED OF ESO ... THIS NEW BUILD HYPED ME ENOUGH TO START PLAYING WITH IT ... CAUSE I MAIN MAG SORC AND I LOVE TRYING NEW BUILDS
i like both companions, perhaps bastian as my tank or mirri as my healer :) if you have bastian tank just be prepared to heal the ol' chap from time to time
Hey Lucky, great builds as always, i currently use your stam warden build and its great. One question though how come BSW over say Siroria or false gods? Genuinly just a question id love to hear your answer too. Thanks
BSW does more damage than false gods, and siroria is ONLY good if you can stand still for the whole fight. Otherwise it is easily outperformed by BSW. turns out thats 90% of fights that bsw is better :D
Would this build work if I ran training on all gear possible? And now with companions, would you drop ring of pale? or set up companion as DPS or Tank? Thank you. I dont need to solo vet content per se, its a XP grind build for me.
@@LuckyGhost oh ok ty! Lol I need this build to beat vvh I struggle sometimes with that arena.. last question if its ok… do you think 436cp is enough for doing vvh?
Hi Lucky! Any tips on how to make good magsorc with ElemSuccession set and Force Pulse as spam, I tried combining it with few sets (lately with Red Eagle + 2 willpower), overland and normal dungeons seems ok(I guess around 35k - my visual count xD), but recently tried it on 3M dummy, and it showed ~13k dps :( uesp build 347021
i’m level 34. So for the gear part do you have to be level 50? I got the Cuirass of Medusa but the blue/level 34 edition? This guide has been very helpful though! New player here.
you can run this build anywhere, just take off ring of the pale order if you have a healer in the group cus it prevents them from healing you. wear a full monster set instead
I’m running Medusa and and BSW with these skills but my magicka was coming out under 30k. Also my crit chance was at something like 47%. Is that normal at just under 500 cp? Can’t seem to get that crit up. Also pets scale with magicka don’t they? So I need to get that up too.
Get your pet up, then your self buffs, then dots. Whenever dots and buffs are all up cast your spammable, until the enemy is dead or a dot or buff needs replacing :) and of course be sure to cast your crystal frag whenever it procs!
@@LuckyGhost Omg you're in god mode my man !!! Hahaha. I have almost the same build and couldn't manage to stay that close to the boss without even move once and without bothering much about Sentinels and Watchers... I'm so impressed
Hey lucky! I'm running your build as a khajiit and I noticed that I only have about 32k max magicka while using the common food you recommended. Is there a reason my max is lacking? I'm champ 750 btw
@Lucky Ghost This may not be the right place for this. But my GF and I have "Baby toons" that are both Pact Argonians that are lol 42. Mine is a mag based dual Ice staves Warden Tank and has been almost broken with Willows Path + Song of Lamea + 2pc Critical Repose tractable sets. Literally I made those sets on my main at lol 10, updated them again at lol 26 (blue) and haven't had to make new sets since. Her Argonian is a Mag Necro DPS based off your build. But crafted blue or purple Spell Parasite + Daedric Trickery, can't remember what I crafted for her 2pc... Either was it also feels dann near broken. I want to say she has 1 shock staff, 1 inferno staff and again she almost never dies, steamrolled almost everything and has even Solo'd world bosses much like my Warden tank. Yesterday I asked if she might be interested in doing some battlegrounds for the AP+Transmute geodes and such. I was thinking about making new sets even though they'll only be good for about 8 lvls. I was thinking of keeping Song of Llamea plus Orgnum's Scales. Not the "Ideal" for PVP. But in theory if/when they get me to 60%HP or less they start riding the struggle bus to drag me lower (due to Orgnum's Scales) and when I hit 30% they get 3.5K burst of dog which is given to me in health. And it proves every 3 seconds that I'm still standing. Meanwhile I've got my APEs and smh hitting them along with my heals and such sustaining me. For her though, I was looking at craftable sets. In theory, if I set her up with 2 shock staves (like you would on a sorc) and put Stuhn's Favor on her it should be proccing almost constantly due to Elemental blockade/unstable wall + lightning staff heavy atks. Then, on front bar, instead of Consuming Soul Trap, use Soul Splitting Trap which, instead of assisting with sustain due to rss restore; instead will target 1 targeted enemy PLUS 2 additional enemies close by the target. So soul trap effecting 3 enemies. And if it works like consuming soul trap, can be casted on up to 3 enemies, effect falls off first cast upon casting the 4th right? So a total of 9 enemies taking direct OBLIVION dmg (soul trap, is oblivion right? where it's always straight and bypasses all forms of armor or dmg negation?). For X odd DPS from Soul Splitting Trap. Correct? But wait! There's MOAR! Oblivion's Foe. When dealing direct smh to a target (meaning smh that is not absorbed by armor and not an AOE right? Like soul trap?) With a soul magic ability deals an additional 12K+ dmg over 10 seconds. The effect can be places on each effected enemy every 10 seconds (meaning you can place it on additional enemies. But can't stack it on the same enemy and have to wait till it falls off.) So in theory you can have an additional 1300 DPS ticking on up to 9 enemies almost constantly? Then when you add in the additional dmg to Stuhn's Favor and enemies constantly being stunned, cuncussed or off balance due to Elemental blockade/Unstable Wall and shock staves. That SHOULD stack up to being almost broken in a battleground correct? But what if you added a Stam DK DPS who does bonus smh to stunned, immobilized and off balance enemies... And possibly a healer or Healer DPS hybrid like a Templar, Nightblade or Sorc into the mix? Honestly, I know you're really busy and it seems that PVP is not your thing. It's not ours either, I hate how the game basically forces you to have to do PVP for certain elements. But I'm kinda curious if this particular Zeus like, soul shredding, thunderbolt and cheek clapping Mag Necro DPS could actually be a viable thing with this build. Especially with a Natures Bounty frost slinging crowd ripping Warden Tank and a StamDK DPS. What are your thoughts and have I piqued your curiosities? If you read down to hear thank you very much for taking the time to read all this. And thank you for also all the Bardic ability charismatic and informative content you put out. Be blessed and play on. I hope to see new content in the coming future.
How do you get 2 full 5 piece sets, a one piece set, a maelstrom, AND, the one piece head ‘slimecraw’ ….I only count the 10 armour slots including the jewellery, and then two weapon bars.
@@MexicanFunTimes actually I was playing and got this figured out. For whatever reason, when you have a two handed weapon, the item counts as two on the set.
Hay Lucky, GHOSTCOLT here, I catch your stream as often as i can on Twitch, but I am usually pretty busy during the week with my career job. I am not new to the game, but have not had a lot of progress as I am a very casual part time player. I have only one character over CP 160 and a Mother's Sorry set i bought off the AH and upgraded to purple, so the traits are not tuned to what i want. I have not ran a lot of dungeons but have leveled with a build that uses a lot of STUN and IMMOBILIZE, and i think it will not work well in dungeons as it might interfere with the tank. So I think my next step in addition to still researching all my crafting traits is to start running dungeons. So i guess i am looking for a simple build to start running normal dungeons. What build and basic NON SET gear should i be looking for as a new to dungeon crawling be? This one looks to complicated for me at this point lol possibly a 1 bar? Needing to try and build up gold, skill points from dungeons as i have only ran like 2 ever, gear to deconstruct for mats. Love your videos and learn a lot, and will catch your stream whenever i can. Mostly weekends. Appreciate what you share and keep it up! Thank you,
Wait, am I reading the written guide right? It says Medusa's chest piece is light, but the Medusa's set I collected from Arx are heavy. Did the Medusa's set get changed in blackwood, becauae I'm confused.
I'm level 7 and just started. I'm really enjoying the game and the quests so far. How do I make friends and interact with people? I remember playing classic WoW and FF11 and it seemed easy to communicate and people seemed willing to help each other out and be friends. Is this game going to be like that or does everyone keep to themselves like how WoW is now?
Just join a guild and join their Discord. I joined the guilds Moon Sugar Mayhem and Expendable Heroes for example and they've helped me out a ton. I'm also pretty much new
Hi . im new to the game and im trying to follow the build . im unclear what you are using for the weapon on the front bar. Right now im a level 13 ans i only have one bar open but that may because i only have one staff equipped. Hope you respond cause i feel lost and overwhelmed
Great video. I main the sorc but have grown to hate the pets. If you have any way to build a solo not pet build I would love to hear your ideas. Help make the non pet sorc playable lol.
I feel your pain here. sorcs have multiple passives that require at least one pet out at all times. you can skip out on them but you're losing a ton of sustain and HP. so its tough, going with only 1 pet is totally fine tho :D
They really botched inner light didn’t they? Mine is at full range and when equipped on both bars I constantly have to cast it. Gonna try this build thank you.
I must be doing something wrong. I’m about 310CP, using 2 pets, and only getting about 12k DPS. Or is that expected at that CP level? Also, I just learned what “weaving” is - are you doing that here? Or just spamming crystal frag over and over?
Ya it’s odd to me, especially paired with Crystal Frags, which has the delay. Getting the rhythm has been tough. Eh, if I can’t get it I can always switch to something else.
Thanks for watching!

Annnnnd, can the pets proc concussed with their shock auto damage? What about activated abilities? If so, does the chance scale from player chance (including CP boost)?

I had minor changes kept tormentor and took inner light for the pet. (only because I just created this sorc don't have everything unlocked) I can't wait to test it out in vet dungeons solo.
edit: In the Video it was said the written would have a ONE pet bar, I checked and it doesn't have one pet. It has two, fi you have one with just one pet I would like to see it. Found it, was under the two pet bar.
you say medusa on the video but bahsei in the written guide?
I wouldn't mind pets, but my issue is I can hear the shuffling of their feet and or flapping of the wings, turns out I can't drown out the sound and it actually pisses me off eventually.
Hello! Great build! Quick question.. what’s the lowest cp rank you’d recommend for trying to complete Vvh?
ummm 500~ its possible before that but the items you get in normal are 99% as goood as so much easier to get so no reason to beat your head against the wall yet unless you really just enjoy a good challenge, the go for it!
@@LuckyGhost lol ty I’m actually quite close to hitting 500 I might even go for 530! Your guide is very helpful I’m almost done grinding for the gear👍
Where do I get Unstable Wall of fire?
seee the written guide linked in the description for the skill lineage (shows where each skill is located and whats its base version is called)
Build is OK but I think I need an advise.
Can you write full rotation for one pet (familiar) setup? I'm still learning the mechanics of this game after months of reaserch
So I think im either not understanding something or stroking out but how do you get the 5 item buff for both medusa and spellweave? Between armor and jewlery thats 10 slots and weapon makes 11. If your using slimecraw and pale order thats drops the open slots to 9. What am I missing to make this make sense?
weapons are 1 per hand. so 2 slots per bar. so jewls plus weapon = 5 pieces
@@LuckyGhost I had no idea thats how it functioned, thank you very much for this reply.
post right after stream?! sweeeeeeet
Hey, what addon do you use to show enemy cost bars ?
Is mothers sorrow good instead of burning spellweave
Where to find those apparel
I'm relatively new to the game and was wondering if you do light attacks between your spammable? Thanks for the build it's been super helpful :)
yes light attack between every ability always :D
@@LuckyGhost thank you :D
Hey man, love your content. Been binging it since I started playing ESO (roughly 2 weeks ago). I'm almost 160CP magicka sorcerer already and I'm really thinking about armor and builds for when I get there. I notice you've made a lot of builds with the intent to solo content but you haven't really covered the best builds for running dungeons/trials in groups (at least not recently, haven't gone on a deep dive). I know some of the builds could translate well to group content but I noticed that with things like The Ring of the Pale Order, it's pretty solo specific. I would love to see an optimized build designed for groups if you get the chance, thanks.
my site has group varients for all of my builds. eso.justlootit.com/builds
@@LuckyGhost Thanks! 1 more quick question while I have your attention. I was looking at this build eso.justlootit.com/builds/sorcerer-builds-eso/magicka-sorcerer-build-eso/#skills
And in the skill lineage and rotation you mention channeled acceleration, but in the skills above the chart you have empowered ward instead. Which do you actually prefer to use?
I may be missing something, but do you use Crystal Fragments as a spammable, casting it without the procc?
Correct! A couple patches back zos changed it to be a bis spammable for sorcs
@@LuckyGhost Sweet mother of monkey milk! Had no idea. Thank you 👍👍
Which abilities are getting buffed by Thamaturge?
Can I ask..Do you still use the Inferno Staffs if you are not using the Burning Spellweave Set?
Yes, still use inferno. Can use dv instead of bsw
I’m trying this build out but I’m having trouble surviving, the only way I’m getting health back is with doing damage with your other solo magsorc build I had the pet to heal, and the rotation feels a bit weird.
Remember this is before the buff to ring of the pale order. The ring is gonna be uncapped so ur sustain is gonna be insane once it gets buffed on the expansion
Hey Lucky, love the video and build. Thank you for the content! What are your thoughts on running Mother's Sorrow versus Burning Spellweave?
both great, if you run mothersorrow / medusa together just run shadow mondus instead of thief
@@LuckyGhost Okay, that makes sense. Thank you!
OMG YES ! LUCKY I AM THE GUY THAT TOLD YOU ON TODAYS STREAM THAT I GOT BORED OF ESO ... THIS NEW BUILD HYPED ME ENOUGH TO START PLAYING WITH IT ... CAUSE I MAIN MAG SORC AND I LOVE TRYING NEW BUILDS
Hey LuckyGhost, which/what companion build should I be using along with this build? :D Is there a guide?
i like both companions, perhaps bastian as my tank or mirri as my healer :) if you have bastian tank just be prepared to heal the ol' chap from time to time
I found 1 ring of the pale order as an antiquity. I pray I get the 4 other leads for it. Are all found in same zone?
check out my pale order guide here on youtube for all locations
Hey Lucky, great builds as always, i currently use your stam warden build and its great. One question though how come BSW over say Siroria or false gods? Genuinly just a question id love to hear your answer too. Thanks
BSW does more damage than false gods, and siroria is ONLY good if you can stand still for the whole fight. Otherwise it is easily outperformed by BSW. turns out thats 90% of fights that bsw is better :D
@@LuckyGhost thanks for the advice 👍
Would this build work if I ran training on all gear possible? And now with companions, would you drop ring of pale? or set up companion as DPS or Tank?
Thank you.
I dont need to solo vet content per se, its a XP grind build for me.
How hard is it to try to complete the arena to try to farm that inferno maelstrom staff??
Its easy on normal once you have your other gear :)
@@LuckyGhost oh ok ty! Lol I need this build to beat vvh I struggle sometimes with that arena.. last question if its ok… do you think 436cp is enough for doing vvh?
@@Briioh its tough at that level but possible!
Curious because of the thumbnail, do you play runterra?
What’s the dps on this build?
Hi Lucky! Any tips on how to make good magsorc with ElemSuccession set and Force Pulse as spam, I tried combining it with few sets (lately with Red Eagle + 2 willpower), overland and normal dungeons seems ok(I guess around 35k - my visual count xD), but recently tried it on 3M dummy, and it showed ~13k dps :( uesp build 347021
Didn’t know Lux was in ESO
where I can find the receipt of Ghastly Eye Bowl? Or how I can get it?
Halloween event or a guild trader
i’m level 34. So for the gear part do you have to be level 50? I got the Cuirass of Medusa but the blue/level 34 edition?
This guide has been very helpful though! New player here.
so 160 is gear cap, so when you get to 160 you'll want to "reconstruct" any pieces you already have at max level (160) at a transmute station
@@LuckyGhost thank you !
Mother's sorrow, Juliano and infernal maw with divines have all fallen into my lap by CP 210. Is that a good setup or am I gonna need to replace?
What outfit are you rockin in this video? Nice Look!
Is itbok to run this build for the core game or the items are part ot the exp ?
you can run this build anywhere, just take off ring of the pale order if you have a healer in the group cus it prevents them from healing you. wear a full monster set instead
I’m running Medusa and and BSW with these skills but my magicka was coming out under 30k. Also my crit chance was at something like 47%. Is that normal at just under 500 cp? Can’t seem to get that crit up. Also pets scale with magicka don’t they? So I need to get that up too.
Hey man is Medusa lightning staff viable here?
I read your website and I am building with one pet but I am still not sure about the rotation, what sequence should I go for? :)
Get your pet up, then your self buffs, then dots. Whenever dots and buffs are all up cast your spammable, until the enemy is dead or a dot or buff needs replacing :) and of course be sure to cast your crystal frag whenever it procs!
Love your vids - your my fave eso RUclipsr!
You're the best!
06:50 Are you in vet ? =O
Haha yes you will never see footage from me that is not vet :)
@@LuckyGhost Omg you're in god mode my man !!! Hahaha. I have almost the same build and couldn't manage to stay that close to the boss without even move once and without bothering much about Sentinels and Watchers... I'm so impressed
took a long break from eso, time to try and get back into it and update my main xD
Hey lucky! I'm running your build as a khajiit and I noticed that I only have about 32k max magicka while using the common food you recommended. Is there a reason my max is lacking? I'm champ 750 btw
@Lucky Ghost
This may not be the right place for this. But my GF and I have "Baby toons" that are both Pact Argonians that are lol 42. Mine is a mag based dual Ice staves Warden Tank and has been almost broken with Willows Path + Song of Lamea + 2pc Critical Repose tractable sets. Literally I made those sets on my main at lol 10, updated them again at lol 26 (blue) and haven't had to make new sets since.
Her Argonian is a Mag Necro DPS based off your build. But crafted blue or purple Spell Parasite + Daedric Trickery, can't remember what I crafted for her 2pc... Either was it also feels dann near broken. I want to say she has 1 shock staff, 1 inferno staff and again she almost never dies, steamrolled almost everything and has even Solo'd world bosses much like my Warden tank.
Yesterday I asked if she might be interested in doing some battlegrounds for the AP+Transmute geodes and such.
I was thinking about making new sets even though they'll only be good for about 8 lvls. I was thinking of keeping Song of Llamea plus Orgnum's Scales. Not the "Ideal" for PVP. But in theory if/when they get me to 60%HP or less they start riding the struggle bus to drag me lower (due to Orgnum's Scales) and when I hit 30% they get 3.5K burst of dog which is given to me in health. And it proves every 3 seconds that I'm still standing. Meanwhile I've got my APEs and smh hitting them along with my heals and such sustaining me.
For her though, I was looking at craftable sets. In theory, if I set her up with 2 shock staves (like you would on a sorc) and put Stuhn's Favor on her it should be proccing almost constantly due to Elemental blockade/unstable wall + lightning staff heavy atks. Then, on front bar, instead of Consuming Soul Trap, use Soul Splitting Trap which, instead of assisting with sustain due to rss restore; instead will target 1 targeted enemy PLUS 2 additional enemies close by the target. So soul trap effecting 3 enemies. And if it works like consuming soul trap, can be casted on up to 3 enemies, effect falls off first cast upon casting the 4th right? So a total of 9 enemies taking direct OBLIVION dmg (soul trap, is oblivion right? where it's always straight and bypasses all forms of armor or dmg negation?). For X odd DPS from Soul Splitting Trap. Correct? But wait! There's MOAR! Oblivion's Foe. When dealing direct smh to a target (meaning smh that is not absorbed by armor and not an AOE right? Like soul trap?) With a soul magic ability deals an additional 12K+ dmg over 10 seconds. The effect can be places on each effected enemy every 10 seconds (meaning you can place it on additional enemies. But can't stack it on the same enemy and have to wait till it falls off.) So in theory you can have an additional 1300 DPS ticking on up to 9 enemies almost constantly?
Then when you add in the additional dmg to Stuhn's Favor and enemies constantly being stunned, cuncussed or off balance due to Elemental blockade/Unstable Wall and shock staves. That SHOULD stack up to being almost broken in a battleground correct?
But what if you added a Stam DK DPS who does bonus smh to stunned, immobilized and off balance enemies... And possibly a healer or Healer DPS hybrid like a Templar, Nightblade or Sorc into the mix?
Honestly, I know you're really busy and it seems that PVP is not your thing. It's not ours either, I hate how the game basically forces you to have to do PVP for certain elements.
But I'm kinda curious if this particular Zeus like, soul shredding, thunderbolt and cheek clapping Mag Necro DPS could actually be a viable thing with this build. Especially with a Natures Bounty frost slinging crowd ripping Warden Tank and a StamDK DPS.
What are your thoughts and have I piqued your curiosities?
If you read down to hear thank you very much for taking the time to read all this. And thank you for also all the Bardic ability charismatic and informative content you put out.
Be blessed and play on. I hope to see new content in the coming future.
How do you get 2 full 5 piece sets, a one piece set, a maelstrom, AND, the one piece head ‘slimecraw’ ….I only count the 10 armour slots including the jewellery, and then two weapon bars.
just noticed the same shit
@@MexicanFunTimes actually I was playing and got this figured out. For whatever reason, when you have a two handed weapon, the item counts as two on the set.
Hay Lucky, GHOSTCOLT here, I catch your stream as often as i can on Twitch, but I am usually pretty busy during the week with my career job. I am not new to the game, but have not had a lot of progress as I am a very casual part time player. I have only one character over CP 160 and a Mother's Sorry set i bought off the AH and upgraded to purple, so the traits are not tuned to what i want. I have not ran a lot of dungeons but have leveled with a build that uses a lot of STUN and IMMOBILIZE, and i think it will not work well in dungeons as it might interfere with the tank. So I think my next step in addition to still researching all my crafting traits is to start running dungeons. So i guess i am looking for a simple build to start running normal dungeons. What build and basic NON SET gear should i be looking for as a new to dungeon crawling be? This one looks to complicated for me at this point lol possibly a 1 bar? Needing to try and build up gold, skill points from dungeons as i have only ran like 2 ever, gear to deconstruct for mats. Love your videos and learn a lot, and will catch your stream whenever i can. Mostly weekends. Appreciate what you share and keep it up! Thank you,
Wait, am I reading the written guide right? It says Medusa's chest piece is light, but the Medusa's set I collected from Arx are heavy. Did the Medusa's set get changed in blackwood, becauae I'm confused.
thats a typo, should be heavy. i'll fix that now, thanks!
All good, glade I could help 🙂
Keep up the good work, forgot to say it but this build will assist in uping my sorc's flexibility amongst my dps builds ❤
Hello, i don't have the dlc for maelstrom weapons, can i use any other weapon?
just use same weapon on backbar as on frontbar
One other question how different is pc vs ps4
Pc and ps4 are the same game. We just get addons on pc that can change the ui a tad
How did you slot more than one passive it only lets me do one
On controller, you press y or triangle, and then move L stick to new slot, then you slot it, on pc, it prob also says what button to press
I'm level 7 and just started. I'm really enjoying the game and the quests so far. How do I make friends and interact with people? I remember playing classic WoW and FF11 and it seemed easy to communicate and people seemed willing to help each other out and be friends. Is this game going to be like that or does everyone keep to themselves like how WoW is now?
Just join a guild and join their Discord.
I joined the guilds Moon Sugar Mayhem and Expendable Heroes for example and they've helped me out a ton. I'm also pretty much new
Hey Lucky, do you make PvP builds as well?
Not yet
Hi . im new to the game and im trying to follow the build . im unclear what you are using for the weapon on the front bar. Right now im a level 13 ans i only have one bar open but that may because i only have one staff equipped. Hope you respond cause i feel lost and overwhelmed
Check out the written guide linked in description! It has starter gear listed and end game gear too
Is this good for group dungeons and trials?
Yes to dungeons and normal trials. Check out my group sorc build on eso.justlootit.com
My world is spun upside down, just got geared with last set up. O well just means more time in game trying out new things and builds.
Old build is still great!
@@LuckyGhost fully agree. Just like the thought of no more grinding for burning spellweave staff lol
@@lockjaw36 that is more than fair my man!
Time to get back into my magsorc alt, I'm getting tired of magdk and it's time to switch it up
Thank you!
Does this build stil work?
i love this game and i love your videos
Great video. I main the sorc but have grown to hate the pets. If you have any way to build a solo not pet build I would love to hear your ideas. Help make the non pet sorc playable lol.
I feel your pain here. sorcs have multiple passives that require at least one pet out at all times. you can skip out on them but you're losing a ton of sustain and HP. so its tough, going with only 1 pet is totally fine tho :D
I guessed right 😁
They really botched inner light didn’t they? Mine is at full range and when equipped on both bars I constantly have to cast it. Gonna try this build thank you.
should never cast inner light, its a bar buffer
I must be doing something wrong. I’m about 310CP, using 2 pets, and only getting about 12k DPS. Or is that expected at that CP level?
Also, I just learned what “weaving” is - are you doing that here? Or just spamming crystal frag over and over?
Yes always weave on every build in eso, the better you get with the rotation the better your damage will be
Ya it’s odd to me, especially paired with Crystal Frags, which has the delay. Getting the rhythm has been tough. Eh, if I can’t get it I can always switch to something else.
how about this strategy at 2023?
Another banger ez build. :)
If I'm starting a game for the first time, how do I get the gear etc
See written guide linked in description for how to get all the gear
@@LuckyGhost so I can achieve this at level 1, what about dungeons etc?
Ummmm ring of pale order and maelstrom gear are base game??? thought i had to have dlcs for both of those???
