Description

Stormborn is a Magicka Sorcerer PVE Build that relies on shock AOE-DOT damage but is also utilizing fire-based spells and Sets to achieve the best results. The build is balanced around solo and group gameplay, allowing you to experience every PVE content ESO has to offer.

The idea behind Stormborn is to weaken your targets with your debuffs, DOT and constant AOE shock damage before you can finish them with your strong burst skills. Stormborn is a perfect Magicka Sorcerer PVE Build for new players but also ESO veterans.

If you are a new player, you can take a look at my Sorcerer Beginner Guide.

If you are looking for a Solo PVE Build for Arenas like the Maelstrom Arena and Vateshran Hollows, take a look at my Magicka Sorcerer Solo Build.

You can find more Builds in the Sorcerer Builds page.
