Introduction

Welcome to the Magicka Sorcerer Build PvE “Mystic” for Elder Scrolls Online. Make sure to bookmark the link as I will keep updating the build for each new Update of ESO. You can also find a Magicka Sorcerer Pet Build on my website if you prefer pets!

The Magicka Sorcerer Build PvE “Mystic” is made for Trials, Dungeons & Maelstrom Arena. You can also play this for all the Solo content with some minor adjustments.

Shock abilities give you a huge advantage in terms of damage output due to concussion, as all enemies will take 8% more damage once concussion is applied, this build gives you a lot of uptime on concussion so you will help your group out a lot with extra damage. Once an enemy is concussed our Blockade of Shock will apply Off-Balance on the enemy, giving us another 10% more damage! On top of that you can get a huge amount of magicka, which makes your shields stronger and makes survivability pretty easy. And with Heavy Attacks from Shock staves you will have an easy time sustaining in trashfights and deal a ton of damage at the same time!

• Good single target (ST) damage
• Insane ranged & melee damage
• High area of effect (AoE) Damage
• Shock Themed Build
• Good sustain
• Easy survivability due to magicka shield
• Trials, Dungeons & Maelstrom Arena

Resource Management

If you feel like that you need more sustain, you can always use a Cost Reduction Glyph/Recovery Glyph if you want. If you want you can also run Witchmothers Brew which will give you a lot of recovery, your health will drop a bit but because you have Pets you still should be good to go, otherwise invest some points into Health attribute!

• Magicka Recovery Glyph
• Heavy Attacks
• Witchmothers Brew

Trials & Dungeons Setup

*Spell Power Potion was active. Also remember, we are using Netchs Touch so you can add another 450 Spelldamage to our Shock abilities that it does not show here on the sheet.

Skills

• Boundless Storm? This ability does not a lot of damage but it gives you about 10% damage mitigation as you gain a ton of Spell and Armor resistance. If you do not want it you can replace it with Inner Light.
• Crystal Fragments: Depending on your Group Support, you can actually sustain a Light Attack Rotation with this build. So if you have enough Bubbles from healers then you can Crystal Fragments there. If you use a heavy attack rotation then i recommend slotting Destructive Clench.
• More Abilities? If you want more skills, you could remove both Bound Aegis skills, you will loose 8% Magicka, but it opens up two new slots.

Shock Staff Mainbar	Shock Staff bar
Slot 1: Hardened Ward	Slot 1: Blockade of Shock
Slot 2: Destructive Clench	Slot 2: Liquid Lightning

Passives

You will need the following passives:
Dark Magic, Daedric Summoning, Storm Calling, Light Armor, Heavy Armor (Juggernaunt Passive), Destruction Staff, Vampire , Mages Guild, Racial, Undaunted, Alchemy: Medicinal Use

I highly recommend being a Vampire for the extra 10% Magicka and Stamina recovery!

Rotation

Before the fight starts drink a potion and then wait a few seconds, drop Ultimate whenever it is ready. As we are using Netch’s Touch I prefer using Shock Clench over Crystal Fragments. If you drop low on Magicka you can always do a Heavy Attack instead of a Force Pulse.

Liquid Lightning > Light Attack > Blockade of Storms >Haunting Curse > Weapon Swap
