Sorcerer

Sorcerer is one of the fastest specs available, regardless of the way it’s built. This is a good trait to have for solo PvP, and it can have good damage through some of its own skills, weapon skills and sometimes proc sets. Its recent buff to Hardened Ward made the Magicka Sorcerer spec playable again. Still, proper movement and kiting is important for this class. This page features Magicka Sorcerer builds and hybrid/Stamina Sorcerer builds.

Important Notes

Crystal Fragments is a skill used for preference. It’s good as a burst ability, but is outperformed by Bound Armaments when it comes to stat density and pressure. This means that optimally it’s better to slot Armaments for damage, but if you want to feel more like a classic ranged magsorc on this build Crystal Fragments will work too.
