Important Info for Stamina Sorcerer Build PvE
In this section of the ESO Stamina Sorcerer Build we are going to take a look at Buff-food, Mundus Stone, Potions, Poisons, Passives and Attributes you should use.
All these things are important, I will give you one example to showcase how fast you can lose power. Often players forget to use/activate the Medicinal Use passive. Therefore the player won’t be able to have a 100% uptime on his potions, which means he will lose a lot of weapon damage, weapon critical and resources.
Buff-food
Any of the three foods below works well with the build. For a list of all buff food and drink consumables please visit the Buff Food and Drinks Overview Page.
Lava Foot Soup and Saltrice
(Saltrice, Flour, Potato, Scrib Jelly)
Artaeum Takeaway Broth
(Max Health+Max Stamina+Stamina Recovery+Health Recovery)
Dubious Camoran Throne
(2nd option if Artaeum is too expensive)
Mundus Stone
The Thief Mundus Stone increases our overall Weapon Critical Rating which boosts our damage. For more information on Mundus Stones please visit the Mundus Stone Overview Page.
The Thief Mundus Stone (Increased Weapon Critical)

Resource Management for the Stamina Sorcerer Build
Energy Orb will always be present in a good group. When you get close to the Orb you can activate its synergy to regain resources.
Potions should always be used on cooldown to gain the maximum benefit from them.
Heavy Attacks help you restore Stamina, if you drop low on resources do a few Heavy Attacks between skills to refill your Stamina.
- Orb Synergy
- Heavy Attacks
- Potions
- Dark Deal
Optionally, you can also use Dark Deal to manage your resources better, in most cases that skill is overkill though.
Rotation for the Stamina Sorcerer Build
Here is a quick explanation of what you have to do with all the skills on your bar.
- Your main spammable is Crystal Weapon
- Your semi spammable is Bound Armaments (Use it whenever you have 4 daggers flying over your head)
- Reapply DoTs (damage over time) effects after they run out: Unstable Familiar, Stampede, Carve, Hurricane and Barbed Trap.
- Activate Storm Atronach Ultimate whenever it is ready
- Always light attack between each ability.
Area of Effect Setup
Lets take a look at an AoE setup for the Stamina Sorcerer Build. Trash packs don’t live for a very long time, anything that provides us with extra burst damage is useful, therefore we use sets like Mechanical Acuity and Azureblight Reaper as well as the very powerful Perfected Titanic Cleave.
Note: Dual Wield is often used for single target, whereas Two Hander is often used for AoE. Therefore, if you want to see an 2H AoE setup, please check out the 2H Stamina Sorcerer Build.
