Introduction

Welcome to the Magicka Sorcerer Build “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 “Mystic” is made for Trials, Dungeons & Maelstrom Arena. It is a Shock Themed build. You can also play this for all the Solo content with some minor adjustments.

Magicka Sorcerers are one of the strongest setups currently, as they have powerful shock abilities and a huge magicka pool. 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!

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

Resource Management

Make sure that you have “Drain Magicka Poisons”, they help tremendously with sustain. In the Important Info section you will see how to craft them. They give you about 240 Magicka per second over 5,5 seconds, thats insane!. 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!

• Drain Magicka Poisons
• Magicka Recovery Glyph
• Heavy Attacks

Gear

Gear Best in Slot

No Maelstrom/Master staff? If you dont have one of those then you could use a Moondancer staff. Or use a Netches Touch staff and use 1 more piece of Moondancer armor as a tradeoff.
Why Netch’s Touch? We are focusing on a full Shock Damage setup which makes Netch’s Touch a crazy powerful set! You can also use Scathing, Julianos or Twice Born Star.

Gear alt

Here a Setup without a Monster set. This setup will result in about 2-3k less dps than the Best in Slot one, so not a huge loss! You also could use Julianos instead of Netches Touch for example.

Gear beginner

This setup is dedicated to people that have not had the chance to farm the necessary gear for the maximum damage potential for this Magicka Sorcerer build. All the gear here is either craftable or cheap to get in a guildstore. Make sure to ask a friend to craft Seducer and Julianos gear for you. I do recommend that you are aiming for 17k health. To achieve this you can buy one or two Willpower rings with a healthy trait.

Skills

• Why 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 or Crystal Fragments.
• Why Destructive Clench and no Crystal Frags? With Netches Touch, Destructive Clench will do about the same dps as Crystal Frags. Plus the rotation is easier this way as we do not have to look out for a Crystal Frag proc.
