Thank you for watching and I hope you enjoy it! It's my favorite IA build.
❗A quick note that was left out of the video regarding Reaving Blows: TLDR - Lots of heals with your spammable. It was still relevant during Arc 10.
Appreciate your guides. Especially appreciate that you seem to be one of the few that truly solos IA with the builds. So much good info with strats I never would have thought of. Thanks.
You are very welcome Drake! I appreciate you watching and the comment. 🙏
Been waiting for this video to drop for 6mo!
Thank you Dooma! This is so awesome, I was mentally trapped into figuring out how to work with the class skills but the use of shocking burst is so intuitive and obvious after you’ve brought it to light.
Thank you Bro! I use a modification of this build for dungeons and pve, it’s so much fun to watch everything just pop
Haha awesome and you are very welcome! I just finished up the non-IA versions for dungeons and other solo content last stream, so I should have that out for everyone soon'ish as well. I really enjoy playing the Sorc like this for PvE, it's been great. I am glad others are enjoying it as well. 🙏
It's here! This rocks in action - I've seen it. Thanks for this. 😎
Haha thank you MBN and you are very welcome! 🙏
I FINALLY got to try this; I took the early arc set up into the archive to see what it could do. I'm terrible at farming gear, so it took me this long to get enough Storm cursed gear (and it's still scuffed), and then made some purple OS gear.
This MELTS mobs in the 1st and 2nd arcs. And for once I even got a Focused effort after my 2nd boss in arc 1. Hate to say it, but this is even more fun than the Monolith of Storms build--slaps way harder, but all the lightning makes it still feel uber sorc-y. Glad I got around to this :D
Haha perfect! Made my day reading this, glad you got around to it as well and that you like it. 🙏
❤❤❤ yeah since gold road came out I have loved sorc using storm cursed with overwhelming and stormfist. So much fun with the scripts.
Awesome, I'm glad to hear it. 🙏
Liked video I first 10 seconds because I knew it would be good. Like all your other videos. You’re my favorite theory crafter. I get so many fun ideas from you.
Heyyyy awesome thanks so much Nartsv, I'm glad to hear it! 🙏
When I’m not playing PVP, my wife and sister in law (with lower skill levels than me) like to team up with me for archive or vet dungeon runs. I set all of us up with variations of your builds. We’ve been having a lot of fun 3-manning hard modes running a group comp of tanky damage dealers like you see in a lot of your archive builds. We have been able to mow through vet hard modes that don’t have a specific tank mechanic with this group comp. No healer, just auto self healing from stuff like pale order or leeching plate or some class skills that heal as they output damage. My current favorite setup for myself right now is a Torc Magplar that is just above the equivalent of armor cap when you include the torc 15% damage mitigation and getting additional major protection on front bar for slotting flare. It also has 7k plus spell damage about 50% crit chance with double bows and about 100% crit damage being a Khajiit. I use healing burst with the hot and minor expedition combined with roll dodges to always have epic speed for kiting. I run about 36k health so it’s not a deep archive setup, but it punches way above its weight class to have this much damage mitigation and sustain. Essentially it’s a pvp setup with pve style skills. It’s a beast almost all pve content.
@@Nartsv Heyyy that's too awesome with the builds and your family, thanks so much for letting me know. I was so excited to start working on torc builds but the leads for them were bruuuutal haha. I eventually just gave up on it and kind of forgot about it with everything else going on as I collected the leads kind of passively. I just circled back to it last week and I ended up with all of them haha so I started knocking those out for it as well. Im looking forward to trying some stuff out. How you have your set up sounds really solid and fun. Awesome work. It's been cool seeing some of the OG stat players get to pop off in pvp again with solid stat based builds that are viable with torc as well vs relying on proc metas. Good stuff Nartsv, thanks for sharing. 💪
@@Dooma try 7 reinforced medium for decent armor and ridiculous damage stats with torc.
@@Nartsv Good lookin out, 'preciate it! I'll check it out.
Fire! I have a build similar to this but this looks good and i totally understand all your Choices. Definitely trying this.
🙏
And just like that I am done with Arcanist... :-) Not sure how you do it but this build is exactly what I was asking for. So let the hunt for storm-cursed set begin ;-) Thanks again for all the work you doing for the comunity.
Haha you are very welcome Lukas! As soon as you commented on the other video about Sorcs, I thought, "oh just wait until he sees this." 😂
Thank you for watching and commenting as always. 🙏
@@Dooma Do you see a way to turn it in one bar pve solo and may be next level build? And just want to let you know that the link for the build on thegameroom main page is not working. The one under youtube video is ok.
Thanks!
You are very welcome, thank you for checking out the video! 🙏
Sorry to keep rolling back in here, but I keep finding more and more things to do with this build. Because I don't have the patience to go any higher than arc 3 in the archives (I'm always secretly glad when I lose a thread by the time I hit arc 2), I have permanently run the early arc set up. I even dumped all my points into mag, though it doesn't feel like I'm seeing an enormous difference in damage.
So for fun, I took it to the Forgotten Wastes to see how it runs in overland. It's awesome! just melts those public dungeon mobs and bosses. Took it to Craglorn to try it out in spellscar. Triple-group mob pulls dissolving in no time. Did some Craglorn group dungeons and breezed through those, so I thought I'd try those red crystal anomalies, and was getting those done as well. This build is the most fun I've been having overland in a long time. So. Much. Lightning. This would definitely be an overland go-to if I could find a way to get a bit more speed on it without sacrificing damage. I might try switching out Unstable Wall of Elements with Hurricane--if it's even moderately close, this sorc will my overland guy. Absolutely love it! Thank you again for sharing and for putting up with the repeated visits xD
You are very welcome and noooo thank YOU for commenting so much. It helps the channel! 🙏
This is excellent!! Would love to see a PvP version of this one :)
Thank you! I messed around with a pvp version a bit earlier this week. Going to pick it up again this coming week sometime on stream. There some info here in the comments with what I was trying out and what not.
@@Dooma that will be awesome bro, thanks for all your cool builds
@@bernardpretorius1814 You are very welcome, thank you for checking them out! 🙏
Never ever ever Never NERF Sorcs. They're just enjoyable all the way around.
@@cookingkoalas1380 !
The healing effect on Hardened just got a 5% nerf. We will see what the next few weeks bring.
We did it bois...we made it into a vid 🤣 (Tre Arkane sorc gng ayyy). Awesome vid as usual. 💪)
Haha thank you and great job on your run! 💪
Whoo hoo!
🎉🎉🎉
As usual very well done and with the undaunted wrapping up its perfect timing. Question, what stage do you recommend vamp dor this build? I initially was assuming 1 just to have the abilities, but my assumptions get me in trouble more often than not 😂😂. Ty again for the work, time and effort making these builds.
Thank you Bill! Just keep it at stage 1. I didnt find the stage 3 passive Undeath worth it after the nerf (with my play style) with its increased ability cost. Im sure others will disagree and it worked for them (and I do think it can be valuable on other play styles), but it just wasn't worth it to me. Also evaluate how you are dying if you are interested in using undeath. If you find your self treading water at lower hps and not able to catch back up, it may be useful for you. If your deaths are coming from 1 shots missing heavies and what not, then its going to be minimally impactful.
Just discovered you and loving these builds. I played a few year's ago and one bar builds weren't a thing! Can't wait to try this set out. How effective do you think this would be in normal PVE/Soloing & vet dungeons? I'm primarily only trying to get to infinite archive stage 5 which I've almost to with a traditional heavy attack build.
Also, what ultimate would you use as an alternative to being a vamp? I don't want to do that for RP purposes haha
I really tried to make this work for non-IA content. It works great in any content where there are a lot of adds. Anything single target, its mediocre at best.
The negate ulti that heals you is what I used in my original Arc 11 run with this build.
@@Dooma thanks for replying! Looks like a seriously fun build to play with. I'll start farming shipwreck to get the gear set going. As a sidenote I've just finished farming all the stuff for your two bar build which is great fun!
@@mightyzoosh101 Awesome, I am really glad you are enjoying it, that's what it's all about right there!
The overwhelming and storm-cursed combo is fantastic fun for the first few arcs. Can you think of something similar for the first few arcs for your dk build?
Awesome, I'm glad you are enjoying it. It's one of my favorites haha. Due to the DK combustion passive (+40% burning/poisoned status effects) it kind of is a good idea to lean into that with proccing flame and poisoned damage. You arent going to get quite the same umph from a dk version of this. Shock damage procs concussion which is the main damage source we are after. Concussion is a 1 time direct damage source. So procing as many of them as possible is ideal. For the DK, if you did something similar with flame or poison aoe, it would just continuously proc a single instance of a damage over time effect (burning/poisoned), rather than tons of procs of a single instance damage source. You could technically do it in early arcs without any issues, anything works in that area, but it will fall off fairly quick and leave you ultimately weaker as a set up. Some people like to use Runecarver blaze to proc constant flame damage on everything, which also proc's burning. I tried that and it was fun, but also falls off fairly hard vs other options for the same reason as above and then just using ele sus + serpents disdain is significantly more effective in higher arcs when you have to spend most of the time kiting, plus is also makes your poisoned and hemorrhage last 20 seconds per target.
There are countless ways to do it, some better than others, and no real right answers if you are climbing as high as you like and having fun, but I do feel a DK version of this probably isnt ideal after the first few Arcs. If you were only interested in the early arcs, then definitely go for anything that sounds fun. Ive shown Arc 1-2 can easily be cleared almost totally naked with 1 button mainly, including gorro marauder, so legitimately anything you can think of, will work fine in the lower arcs.
@@Dooma Your the best sir! I constantly recommend your builds. Appreciate you!
Thanks for the upload. Quick question D man, will you be doing a next level nightblade ever? I've been using your next level necromancer and the style is exactly what I needed
You are very welcome! I have attempted to put together something a handful of times in the past but either the damage wasnt there or it took a high proficiency to get there, which kind of defeated the intent of the series.
I did however very recently update all the one bar dps builds on the website and the NB is sitting right at 100k with the set up posted, so really solid for this patch. Throw on a vma 2h sword + Stampede + 1 more dot on the back bar and you have about as good of a Next Level set up as any other probably somewhere around 115k or so (totally guessing there, could definitely be a bit higher or lower). That is roughly what I will be working with here soon'ish at my next attempt at it. Just have to work out a simple static rotation for everyone that isnt too punishing and that one should be g2g.
@@Dooma yeah I understand that about nightblade actually, it's always been an advanced class and hard to work in user friendly ways.
But honestly the way you built necro is one of the most skilled things I've seen, so if anyone can, it's you
At first I was a bit disappointed that there was no Monolith of Storms; I had a lot of fun with that set. But when I saw all the lightning flying around, I got over my disappointment pretty fast.
Looks like a ton of fun. If I EVER finish leveling up my necromancer (finally pulled the trigger after 4 years playing this game), I'm throwing this together next.
And thank you for the deep dive on skills, arc options, and marauder strategies--great video :D
Haha sounds good. I hope you enjoy it if/when you can get to it. I did try for a good while with Monolith to keep it similar to the last version, but this set up is such a big step up, I really couldn't justify using it. It's still solid and works mostly the same, but this is just another level for the build haha.
@@timabababaluka Corpse Buster is the best set to come out for Necromancer.
I paired it with Dark Convergence even though all I had of CB was pants belt shoes and an ice staff.
Once it's on you, your not gonna wanna exchange it for anything else. It's symbiotic.
Just checked it out. Sounds really cool. Will definitely play around with that when I hit level 50. Thanks for the tip :D
Great video. Do you know if they have fixed the pet issue yet?
Hi there! They did with some things. It depends if the 'pet' is considered a 'permanent' pet or not. It's a little messy as to what is what but just generally speaking, try to avoid anything that summons an additional 'thing' of any type. Pets, the floating book that summons, the rats that do disease damage when they die, etc. Almost all of this disable the script.
Hey Dooma! Love it brother. I do have a question. Could i pair Heartland with Symmetry? Or do i need those extra lightning procs?
Hey there, I'm glad! I You could but that changes things a bit. I'm honestly not sure how well it would work. It could be great or it could be much less damage depending on focused efforts stacks. Worth a shot for sure, but I do know storm cursed + sorc class script = a ton of shock splash damage. With heartland and a bit of FE, its pretyy crazy damage in later arcs and in early arcs, most things dont like through a few globals.
More dungeons I need to farm... Man, I need to quit my job to work this one.
🥺
Anyone who says that there is nothing to do in ESO is a bloody liar or a real underachiever. So much to do it makes my head spin sometimes.
Today, I’m just chilling with some ToT and fishing, with a little survey running on top. My mats stash is low, as is my bank balance.
Maybe tonight I’ll hit some nSR and nFH to collect some of those sets that still elude me.
Haha awesome! Looks like you have a full weekend booked in game now. 💪
What about a variation of this with heavy storm knights plate and storm cursed revenge for later arcs? Keeping with the aoe lightning theme?
Hi there! I dont recommend S. Knights, because once you get into later arcs, more or less nothing matters other than status effects. Heartland is going to be your ticket there for big damage coupled with Focused Efforts.
Edit: I cant read or spell.
Is the serpent's disdain set going to perform in the place of storm cursed as good as it does on your other builds? I don't wanna grind a dungeon, and I prefer a solid non-swap situational rotation
I get what you are saying but these 2 builds are totally different in play stayle and performance. The other build with SD still works just as well, but this one is much more fun and a bit faster pace.
@Dooma I've been using your 1 bar dragonknight tank build I was wondering if that is still the best setup for it or is it outdated. Also your one bar arcanist dps on your website if you click on some skills they will link you to the skills you've changed from the previous build
Hi there Anthony! I just finished the updated build for the DK last week on stream. It ended up hitting Arc 10, so really solid. I will be getting guides out for it shortly, hopefully this week.
🙏Thank you for the heads up on the site. I don't know what is up with that skill. Lot's of people have reported it and I have changed it I think 3 times now haha. I am not sure why the new link won't stick. If it happens again, I am just going to scrap the whole section of that page and re-build it. Hopefully that will remove any behind the scenes funkiness that is going on.
How strong is this build for chill activities? Like, random normal dungeon, killing adds here and there, and not doing much of trials?
Not super great without a bunch of changes. I am almost done with that now and will probably be one of the next guides going out this week. A non-IA version of this for everything else.
@@Dooma Ohhh I'll wait for it!
@@Dooma Sadge
Does this build hold up well for dungeons and shtuff??
Hi there! Unfortunate no. I tried for 2 full days with lots of versions of the set up and it just isnt something I would recommend for non-IA content. Even if changing out the sets.
@ thank you so much I really appreciate the reply! Youre the goat 🐐
@@glob-zilla You are very welcome!
I'm about to try this build. Thankyou Dooma. Can anyone tell me what the pet bug is? I've tried googling to no avail
Awesome, I hope you enjoy it! There are 2 bugs that affect the build currently (well, same but, but 2 different scenarios of it):
1) Hardened Ward's heal requires you to have no pets active.
2) The class script used in the build also requires you to have no active pets.
All of the things in IA that you can summon from visions/verses such as various "helpers" like the rat you step on for disease damage, the eye you summon to tank enemies, and the permanent pet vision, etc. is currently coded as permanent pets and prevent # 1 & 2 above from procing correctly.
Avoid them as best as you can for now. It breaks the build entirely.
which set do you think would be better for dungeons n solo (non-trial gear)?
I am working on that right now haha. Probably going to work it into a stream or two this week. Seems to be lots of options that work well but I havent spent enough time to really nail anything down. Just to throw something out there for now for you, Overwhelming Surge seemed decent (only did a few quick bosses in vVate, so not sure on harder things yet). A bit of aoe damage and allows you to spam shock burst quite a lot.
What would you edit in order to make the overwhelming part of the build viable in veteran dungeons (sorry if it's a silly question)?
This isnt a silly question at all! I actually spent 2 full days trying to make this work last week. I found it is very good in once situation: burning down aoe mobs. Outside of that, its pretty mid at best and requires a very high level of parsing to be viable on bosses.
@@Dooma Thanks for the answer! Ugh, that's such a bummer because it's a really fun combo. I just want infinite lightning arcs to burn everything while zooming through dungeons! Was really hoping there would be some way to make this work as the gear farm in ESO is really slow if you haven't been doing it for a long time.
Hey there ..
How are you doing?
A while ago I messaged you on an observation I saw in your videos. This new sorc video, do you have one for playstation players ps5?
Hi there! I am not sure what comment you mean with your observation. What was it? Also, this build will work for all servers.
Is the build any good without focused efforts? And how many focused efforts did you had in arcs 8-10?
Thank
Hi there! I'm working on different set ups for the non-ia content using the set up now. I should have something this week finalized. If you are asking about inside IA, then yes it is good for early arcs without FE as discussed in the video but not in later arcs, like every other set up in the game. FE is what the content is designed around. You can have less and go far, but it's miserable, takes exponentially longer, and not worth it. There isnt anything in the game available to increase damage by 500% and that stacks, like FE and status effect damage. It is what is intended to be used in the content to navigate it efficiently.
When I hit Arc 8 I was at 3 FE and I believe I got another somewhere between 8-10. It's in the VOD if you wanted to find out exactly where, I don't really remember. It was incredibly stressful with the lag and disconnects and that had all of my attention.
@@Dooma thanks for the response
@@ASOOOOOS You are very welcome, thank you for watching!
Is this an Arc only build? Or will this be fine for group contents or overland solo stuff.
Hi there! This is for IA only. I spent 2 days playing around with non-IA versions and I didnt like it very much outside the specific instance of aoe killing trash mobs. It can certainly work, but required a very high level of parsing to push decent boss damage so I scrapped the build for non-ia content I was going to post.
@@Dooma great to know. Thanks man!
@@Obnoxie_ Yessir, very welcome!
Sorc IA build. Has it changed now with pets fixed. If yes what the difference in set up. Please and thank you
The bug was playing a pet-less sorc. Some of the skills were bugged when verses and visions that were coded as pets broke the build. Nothing has changed and as of late last week, the pet bug was not fixed on the pts for next patch.
@@Dooma thanks just checking
@@KennyPerry-t6w You are very welcome!
What can I use besides mastery for the spell scribe skills? I don't have it yet.
Hi there! Do you mean the Class Mastery one? If so, I really don't recommend running the build without it. It's really significant to the builds overall output (sort of the engine behind the build coupled with the Storm Cursed Set), especially after some focused efforts get rolling.
@@DoomaThank you for the response!
@@TheXXTHRASHERZXX You are very welcome!
Hi Dooma, any way to adjust the skills in this build to work without scribing? I don't own Gold Road, unfortunately
Ah man thats tuff. That changes things massively and will for sure have a lower ceiling, however, there are 2 other sorc builds on the channel that reached arc 9 through 11 before scribing was in the game with 1 bar. I would recommend checking those out.
@@Dooma just saw that one! Managed to get to 7-2-1 with it. Had a lot of bad luck only a single focused efforts until arc 6 then another one for 7. Also a lot of mystic fabled with marauders which I couldn't kill the meteors bc of the lack of focused efforts. But it's really good
Man it's so much work to put all those things together 😅
But I'm working on it
Haha I feel you. I hope you enjoy it after you get it all together!
Will this be okay for PVP? Not looking to be the best, just get kills and have fun.
Hi there! I really wouldn't recommend it for PvP. I did try out a few versions of it in BGs for some people who had previous asked about it and it was mediocre at best unfortunately. You can use Shock Wield Soul and just parse that intro groups with frag procs and Streak as an escape tool, but it's mostly just a bunch of low splash damage and not super effective.
Do you stay as a level 1 vamp? Or go to level 3?
I personally keep it at level 1. I didnt find the undeath passive worth it after the nerf for some of the builds with the sustain hit, health recovery loss, and extra flame damage taken. I'm sure it works great on other builds and maybe even on this one for some people but I didnt find it worth it. Ive been telling people: If you find most of your deaths are from getting 1 shot, its not going to help you much at all in that regard. If you find yourself dying often from treading water at low health and not being able to catch up, then it could be impactful and worth trying out.
So I farmed out this build, seems to suffer from Sustain... unless I'm missing a key element.
Hi there! There shouldn't be any sustain issues when played 'correctly.' Correctly in quotes there because there are several variables.
There is an early arc play style and a late arc play style. For the early arcs I encouraged viewers to use ghastly eye bowls food and the overwhelming surge set. If you are rolling potions and have the build set up as shown, it should be difficult to run out of mag in early arcs. The mag use per second vs. mag gained, especially with siphoning spells and things dying quickly, is totally 1 sided. The only variable there would be single target bosses that take a while to clear. In that case the swapping of spammables shown also reduces the mag cost per global and should make it sustainable. Worst case add heavy attack here or there should solve that.
Even if you dont use the surge set early, you should still remove the heavy Heartland for something else. If you use a light armor set, you should still be totally fine (even without a light set you should be fine. Originally I was using medium Order's Wrath as the alternate early arc set up).
For late Arcs I mentioned in the video how you get into this flow of shock burst spam for a bit, then backing off, heal/shielding, reapplying ele sus a bit, then repeat. That plus the necessary ice staff heavy attacks for shielding solves that sustain issue. Individual ability will have a large part to play in this area as you need to feel out just how much you can spam and how much you need to back off a bit. The gameplay VOD in the description is there to help give people some example of how I was navigating all of that.
I dont know how much xp you have in the IA, but just in case you are newer, If you are trying to compare the sustain of a build in IA to virtually any sort of dps build outside of IA, they arent the same at all. The play style is different, the demand on sustain is different, and there are tons of variables that changes things on a moments notice. Its very different than say a dps build you practice on a dummy with. While all those tactics still apply, its not going to be a 1:1 experience in IA, especially in upper arcs.
I hope this helps and and thank you for watching!
Thanks for the response. I did play as shown... just wondered if maybe at 625 CP I was missing out on something. I tend to suffer from mag issues... but I will revisit the build to see what I'm doing wrong.
@@beaudawg6799 Gotchya! The only 2 things from CP that will impact sustain is Rejuvenation and Siphoning Spells. But Siphon is only affecting sustain when things are dying, so before that, its play style dependent to manage it. Then from Arc 4, neither of those are slotted at all, so its all play style dependent from there.
Also, make sure you get 3/3 Medicinal Use from the alchemy passives and more or less always roll your potions. Both of your Major sustain buffs of Intellect and Endurance comes from your potions and with 3/3 Med. Use, you can easily ensure 100% uptime on them.
Are companions classed as pets ?!?
They are considered another player, so you can’t be solo with a companion
Thank you! 🙏
I can’t seem to find shock for the scribe skills
I had the same problem for a while. Shock drops from: Daily Delve and Mages Guild quests and PvP Rewards for the Worthy. Make sure you do those dailies on the Sorcerer because the scripts are curated. So you should get what you don't have yet before getting duplicates. Will increase the odds a little for you vs. farming on another class.
Just curious why you always mention Nord but you use imperial, I have imperial lv 43 Sorc I’m leveling been looking for a build without pets. Do I race change Nord? Thx in advance.
No Imperial is the best on all Builds overall. Tank, DPS , or healer. The reduction you get to all akill and dodgeroll etc. Is next to none. my list goes Imperial(pvp/pve),Kahjit(pvp), Nord(tank)
@@brianherrera1390 ok thank you. I been waiting on a no pet build for Sorc as everyone always saying pet is a must. So thx.
Nord is often times ideal in IA for a couple reasons. Three of the many things you need in upper arcs is resist cap, high health, and get into ults quickly (the majority of ults used normally are defensive in nature or have a strong defensive element.) The Nord race has extra resistances for its passives, which helps you hit resist cap easier with your gear, and normally end up with a higher health amount as the protective traits on your jewelry can be healthy as well as them also having additional health as a passive. They also have a passive that generates extra ultimate, which is very useful. I have a mixed bag of races on live servers, I believe two of them are Imperial from pvp builds. I'm constantly build testing and playing things in all sorts of content types in eso, so constantly race changing to match it isnt really the best option.
On a side note, the person who replied to you is not correct at all if you previously read it before I responded here. I am going to respond to them shortly to clarify.
Hi there! This is not accurate at all my friend. It may be your personal preference, which is totally cool and I dig it, but it is not how the game is currently balanced. For PvE a High Elf is the best min/maxed race for Magicka based builds due to their higher Magicka passives + Weapon/Spell Damage. Dark Elf is the best class for Stamina based builds due to their higher Stamina passive + Weapon/Spell Damage. When it comes to sustain in those areas, the vast majority of builds, when built and played correctly, do not have sustain issues at all. Not even a little for most of them. Especially after ESO's skill hybridization a few years ago. In the countless players we have helped now between Discord and various places. 100% of sustain issues from players were due to a build oversight/creative freedom made that hurt sustain, or there was a gap in knowledge in combat mechanics. There is a very (very) small portion of PvE builds that actually are difficult to sustain, and most cases of those are the tippy top of the pyramid of the highest end dps builds, normally for high end trials. And even in those cases, the races I mentioned are normally preferred to maximize damage output and a high mastery of combat makes sustain possible.
Regarding PvP, there are obvious cases where certain races are most ideal for certain builds, but an Imperial is definitely not it across the board for sure. Many properly high end, 2 bar, PvP builds, have a complete absence of sustain issues and can spam for days and an Imperial would end up having a waste of a sustain racial passive. Again, when built and played correctly. To emphasize this further, many PvP players use food like Sugar Skulls for their builds, which has zero resource sustain as part of it.
Regarding Nords in IA, I responded to them above if you happen to be interested in that at all.
For what it's worth, when I first started ESO, my first DPS was a Redguard of all things. The people I met who taught me the sweaty stuff early on told me to get off the race asap as learning the game by relying on the racial sustain will ultimately make me worse in the end. It took a while, but I found out later they were 100% correct. You get better at everything combat related when you lean off the sustain crutch and can balance your resources better between gameplay and builds, while having a higher output.
Not clapping back or anything at all, just trying to share some game knowledge to help out. Hope you have a good weekend. 🙏
Edit: I cant spell. Even when the red squiggles are in my face.🙃
@@Dooma if I want to use the build for PVP also would you suggest the overwhelming light armor set up or the heavy armor set up because I don’t have the resources to do both. Thx in advance!
How does this build do in trials? for dps?
This would be terrible in trials. I don't recommend it for any content other than IA. However, I just finished up the non-ia versions for group pve content (dungeons) and other solo content like arenas. I will be posting guides for those soon.
@@AIex777 Hey there Alex! There are 3 solo sorc builds on the site currently. The more 'traditional' archive set up for IA and a Heavy Attack sorc for non-IA content is on the main class page and then this build here has it's own page that is listed in the video description.
All of them are up to date. However, here soon I am going to remove the 'traditional IA' one from the main class page and replace it with this build from the link in the description, then delete that independent page just for this build.
Would this be good other content outside IA
I don't recommend it for any content other than IA. However, I just finished up the non-ia versions for group pve content (dungeons) and other solo content like arenas. I will be posting guides for those soon.
