ESO - Complete MagSorc PvP Build Guide - Scions of Ithelia (U41)

Class is open! These builds are for both casual and hardcore solo PVP in Cyrodiil & IC, as well as loosely organised small group play and battlegrounds. Enjoy :)

Corrections / info:
- I mistakenly slotted the 5pc sets on the wrong weapon at 23:30 (my preferences). Rallying cry should be on the bar with Hardened Ward, Vitality should be on the bar with Critical Surge & Elude.
- Another option for spammable is Elemental Weapon (rather than Crushing Weapon or Crushing Shock). It is still necessary to run Elemental Susceptibility in this case, but the two skills together still allow you to incorporate status effects while also having the mechanics of Elemental Weapon and without needing to run the Charged trait.
- I will add nocp cyro/ic builds to the website later.
- I know for console players using streak reliably for offensive combo's can be tougher. The best I can suggest here is running Dawnbreaker as offensive ultimate instead of Overload (or with Overload on backbar), so you can do a quick burst + stun without needing streak.

Thanks for the video! The extra explanations showcasing why you make the choices you do is super helpful and appreciated!

Reinstalling ESO for the Anniversary. Great to see you're still here, breaking down all things MagSorc.
Your guides inspired all my old PvP set ups. Never a fan of the "Meta" stuff and your videos are a perfect reference for theory crafting. Exited to see all the new content. Thanks!

I have watched so many videos from other YouTubers over 6 years. I have spent 4 years kind of research crafting my own builds and love the huge amount of options ESO offers.

Your videos have so much vital information that isn't mentioned by most videos. To be honest, if I was to tell someone to watch YouTube for improvement in pvp or to just understand more about pvp. I will definitely point them in your direction.

I check everyday since the update for this video thanks !🙏

[robertrjackson]

Thanks for the great info. Always appreciate the details you provide and your knowledge about this great game. Sorc is really strong right now.

[smaskblox]

I'm pretty excited about this. I started PVP 2 years ago and couldn't ever dial in the magsorc. Having the burst heal is going to be amazing. I really appreciate the different variations you added, along with the explanation of there use.

Thanks for the video, currently I also play rallicry front bar and vitality back bar and I think it works well. 🤘💪

[TWISTEDGamingVGHUNTY]

great build video well explained and showing so many viable options is alot a work on your part thank you

[EASPORTSK]

As someone who runs Rally back bar; draughkin fb, mighty chud & ddf… gg 👏🏻

[LiviaLivka]

I am so proud of myself, my Livia healer overhealed your bomb on team at gate 😊😊😊😊 good work Malc, you mastered that class

[TheRealMikeyP]

Havent played in years, a lot of sets look viable and strong. Im on crafty alfiq/ masters/vasHM perfected inferno/ lich/ ddFete and still slaps rn

[acido]

Super Sorc! Let's hope that Zenimax lets us play with the sorcerer for a long time, but knowing her...

[OneGroovySaint]

I brought back an old set.. “spinners”, FB, wretched back bar, lover mundus, sharpened staff markin ring. Penetration seems 2 B working pretty nice!

[summerbrez]

Thank you!
Was waiting for this vid from you 😎

I was also thinking about this setup: rallying, wretched, ddf, asylum staff and 1 piece monster set
However I guess you just don't have enough bar space for it :\
You'll have to use crushing shock and hurricane and for that you'll need to drop something from important skills

[Just.Another.Soul]

Great video as always, tyvm for all the effort you putting in your guides! One question, would you consider switching esoteric for gaze of sithis? 🤔🤔

[duckyoutube]

Magicka sorc to me feels stronger than ever. Great guide.

Im running...
Spinners (5 peice front bar with weapong)
Shattered fate(5 peice)
Sithis gaze
Shoulder is a monster set that has magicka and stam.

I run only crytal frag and curse on front bar. Along with mages guild and sorc skills that increase crit magicka and resistances. And hardened ward.

Front bar buffed:
17k spell pen
4.2k spell damage
42%crit
about 40% damage resist
43k magicka
25k health
Shadow stone
Divines on all
Crit on weapon.

I melt people. My regen is crap so its not great 1vsX cyro pvp. But in BGs... 10 to 20 kills per game on xbox na server.

My crystal frags hit between 8-11k depending on my opponents resistances. 5-6k against tanks :(

Im having fun.

[teksenunsal]

elude level 1 :D after all theese years :D edit :" i am first time seeing elude by the way :P " best builds for patch 41 !!

[Colorado]

Great work ! Still can't belive how NefasQS rate you so low.

[acastanza]

I'm also still on the fence about if the Hardened Ward heal is too strong or not, but I love that Sorc is actually capable of viable build diversity now!
