Objective
This build is aimed at offering players interested in the Magicka Sorcerer, a easy to follow guideline to prepare them for end game PvE. Some options will be usable in PvP as well, but if you’re more interested in fighting other players, you’ll want to research skills and take away some others for their place.
Should you play this build?Stam Sorc Pvp Build
Magicka Sorcerers are a disgustingly powerful class when utilized correctly. There is definitely much to learn, but between tips in this guide and practice put in, you’ll be able to access almost all end game content with ease. The Magicka Sorc boasts insane single target AND AoE damage potential, amazing self healing and defenses with shields, and all while being to do it from a range; making them one of the best PvE classes in the game. Due to the Sorcerer’s ease of access due to a relatively simplistic rotation, this is by far the go to choice if you’re looking to start off solid in Elder Scrolls Online as a damage dealer.
Priority Skills
As a Magicka build we’ll be focusing on two weapon types while leveling, one of them even being optional. Destruction staves serve as our primary form of damage dealing due to wonderful abilities and passives, while Restoration staves offer some healing if you’re looking to play more defensively or even go into PvP content.
Destruction Staff
Destruction staves offer immense sustained damage as well as resource management from killing blows, all while bombarding the enemy from a safe distance. Between self damage production, and insane enabling DPS from many support and secondary effects, the Destruction Staff is the pinnacle of damage production and makes it an easy choice for a Magicka build.
Restoration Staves
Restoration staves give the user a lot of healing potential and defensive opportunities, making it an amazing choice for solo and PvP players alike. If you plan on playing primarily as a solo player, or want to dip your feet into “1xXing” in PvP, then Restoration staves will be a very powerful choice.
Daedric Summoning
Dark Magic
Storm Calling
Almost all of Storm Calling has use in PvE or PvP, making each and every skill worthwhile grabbing. I’ll post all of the most important ones to nab early on, but just know that each of these skills can be used effectively almost anywhere.

Every single passive in Storm Calling is vital to the Sorcerer’s performance. Between tons of raw damage and resource management, this is by far our most important skill line to grab stuff in.

Gear Suggestions
Find yourself a friend as soon as possible so you can get your hands on great gear. Crafted sets are by far the strongest way to level up in ESO, so hold onto that quest money to pay the bills, or start learning crafting yourself!

Champion Point Progression
Mage (Blue Tree)
Focus on filling up Elemental Expert, then pumping up Thaumaturge. Feel free to spend some points between Elfborn and Master-at-Arms as well. Check the DPS portions below for a finalized look at CP.
Warrior (Red Tree)
A healthy split between Hardy and Elemental Expert until 40 will help reduce damage greatly and improve survivability. After that begin pumping up Iron Clad and Thick Skinned with a 3:1 ratio (3 Iron Clad, 1 Thick Skinned). Check the End Game’s tab to see the final version.
Thief (Green Tree)
Tenacity and Arcanist are our most important nodes in the Thief, helping resource management greatly. Clean up hard drive mac. Bump those both up to 100 as soon as possible.
Other Priorities
[Updated for Clockwork City by Gilliamtherogue]
Objective
This guide is meant for the player attempting to jump on the Magicka Sorc hype train, riding the freelo express to great damage production. While there are many deviations to this build to squeeze out extra performance for end game players, this build attempts to offer a very well rounded approach at the class for solo and group PvE for the average player.
Relevant Changes (Patches, Updates, etc)
[For Dragonbones update]
As of the Dragonbones patch, Magicka Sorcerers will be seeing some slight adjustments to their build diversity importance. The Heavy Attack builds are going to see a large DPS loss in raid environments, while the traditional Force Pulse/Pet builds will be seeing a nice damage boost. Below outlines some of the most important changes you should be looking out for.
1; Always be watching Off Balance (via addons or in game buff tracking). The icon is a small bluish-purple icon with the silhouette of face with “dizzy swirlies”. As soon as you see this appear, try and line up a fully charged Heavy Attack (Inferno staff is ideal for this) and then use an ability like Force Pulse or a DoT. Immediately try to line up another Heavy Attack to utilize the double resources against Off Balanced enemies. You can completely ignore this interaction if you don’t need resources though!
The in game visuals for a target being Off Balance
2; The Off Balance immunity is now also recorded as a debuff with the in game or addon buff tracking sources. The icon is a character standing tall and proud, with a bluish-grey color scheme. This will last 15 seconds. When this is debuff reaches 1-2 seconds, you can attempt to charge up a Heavy Attack so that if the target is immediately set Off Balance, you will get additional time to squeeze in more Heavy Attacks.
3; The Asylum Destruction Staff and Pet Builds will both be seeing a damage increase this patch due to more accessible resource management with Off Balance. If you’re used to the Lightning Heavy Attack meta, you’ll likely want to start dipping your feet into other waters and see what you like.
4; Lightning staves on our backbar are no longer always ideal. If someone else (like a healer or another Sorcerer) is running Lightning Wall, you can opt to run an Inferno Staff for more damage production instead. Keep in mind though, that Lightning staves amp up your AoE damage dealt by 8%, so if you’re fighting multiple enemies at once you still might want to keep one!
Skills

Lightning Staff Bar | Main source of active damage
Lightning or Inferno Destruction Staff | Source of DoTs
*Picking between Lightning or Inferno depends on your ability to sustain. Inferno staves pull more overall DPS, but Lightning staves boast superb resource management with Heavy Attacks, and better group utility.
Gear
(Check the consumable list for updated trait allocation instead of relying on the pictures)
In this section you will find a multitude of options, trying to give every player an idea of what gear to go after. Always try to experiment and find what works best for you, as there is no real universal “best”. Keep in mind that most DPS builds will run very similar gear sets, but there are always deviations depending on the class and play style.

(Master staff mention is erroneous, should be Asylum)
Consumables, Race, Mundus, and Misc
Armor Weights: Most players will see all 7 Light as a damage advantage due to the importance of resource management. 5 Light 1 Heavy 1 Medium still offers the highest raw stat damage, as well as some nice mitigation. If you want a blend of each try 6 Light 1 Heavy, but make sure you have the Juggernaut and Constitution passive from Heavy Armor!
D3 ring of emptiness with pet dmg free. Food: Bi Health & Magicka food offers great healing capabilities, as well as helping our Health pool be sturdy enough. If you prefer more sustain however, try Witchmother’s Brew (a holiday event recipe). You may need to spend some Attribute points or enchants in Health to make sure you’re healthy enough though!
Potions: If you’re not using Sap Essence, you’ll need to use Spell Power potions (Corn Flower + Lady’s Smock + Wormwood) to ensure Sorcery is up indefinitely. If you are using Surge, then you can use any potions that return Magicka and have Spell Crit.
Race:High Elves are the ideal race for Sorcerers due to their 4% Lightning, Fire, and Ice damage bonus. They also boast superior Magicka and resource management due to their passives. Dunmers are a solid choice as well, especially if you plan on going Vampire. While they boast 2% less Shock and Ice damage, they have 3% bonus Flame. They also lack 1% Max Magicka to High Elf, but have superior Flame resistance and 6% bonus Stamina to help block/dodge. Argonians and Bretons offer superior resource management, at the expense of raw damage.

Mundus: The Apprenticeboasts the best damage production for any Magicka build around, no questions about it. It will also help your healing as well. TheLoveralso can be used if you play primarily solo, but due to the ease of access of penetration for Magicka builds, I don’t really suggest this.
Traits on your Weapons: Horns of the Reach has reworked traits a lot. Ideally you’ll want your front bar staff to be Infused or Nirnhoned paired with a Shock or Fire enchant. As a Magicka Sorcerer your backbar should definitely be Infused. Sharpened works on any weapon as long as you don’t over penetrate. Charged is also in INSANELY powerful choice on your front bar to increase your Burning and Concussed uptimes, making you do extra DPS. I don’t suggest this trait in a trial however (or if you’re using the Asylum staff) since there will be plenty of people helping apply those buffs already!
Traits on your Armor: All Divines boasts the best DPS. You’re free to have Infused on large pieces if you want to enchant for Max Health to help survivability, or Magicka to help a tiiiiny bit with sustain.
Stam Sorc Race
Enchants/Poisons on your Weapons: Enchants again are contextual. Below will explain the most powerful choices.
Vampire or Werewolf?: Vampire does exceptionally well with this build if you are a Dunmer, due to the extra Fire damage mitigation. The extra 10% Magicka Recovery can help a lot in today’s meta, making it a valid choice. If you’re doing a Trial or Dungeon with a lot of fire damage, you’ll want to make sure to be Stage 1 before entering!
Champion Points
This segment shows the optimal CP setup for a player who is average at performing their rotation on the Magicka Sorcerer. I’ve denoted some options if you’re more familiar with the class and rotation, but don’t use this CP allocation as an end all be all.
The Mage (Blue)
The Thief (Green)
The Warrior (Red)

If you’re doing content with more damage over time, take points out of Expert Defender and Bastion and pump up Thick Skinned. Make sure you put your points into Elemental Defender and Hardy FIRST, committing them before placing any in Ironclad/Thick Skinned (there is currently a bug where if you do not do this, you will get less mitigation than intended).
Rotation
The rotation for the Magicka Sorcerer can feel overwhelming, but it’s rather easy once you devote time to learn and have muscle memory do the job.
Stam Sorc Pve Build Summerset
If you’re learning this rotation from scratch, work on keeping up Daedric Prey and Volatile Pulse first. These are 2 very important abilities to manage in single target encounters. Now try keeping up Liquid Lightning and Blockade, which will help skyrocket your DPS, especially in AoE. Last, begin trying to squeeze in Crystal Frag procs whenever you see them. Learn the base rotation first so you can understand the flow of it, and then add in the extra fancy stuff like bar swap cancelling of longer animations.
* denotes an optional step that not every player will want to do. These can be considered extra steps until you are comfortable with the “base” rotation, or are not wholly applicable.
