ESO Stamina Sorcerer PVE Build

Welcome to my Stamina Sorcerer Build for PVE Gameplay in ESO! Tempest is a powerful Stamsorc Build that relies on strong Shock Damage and Class Pets to clear Solo and Group PVE content! A flexible DPS Build that combines well Stamina and Magicka abilities to maximize your PVE potential. If you like the idea of a Shock based Warrior that can also command Pets in combat, then Tempest is the perfect Build for you! An excellent Build to farm areas with many groups of enemies that can also be very effective against tough single targets. This is a Pure Class Build. For a Subclassing Build, you can take a look at my Stamina Sorcerer Subclassing DPS Build! More Sorcerer Builds and Guides you can read:

No Trial Gear

The No-Trial Gear setup is meant for easier Solo but also easier Group PVE Gameplay. You can wear this setup if you are planning to play Overland content(Public Dungeons, World Bosses) or clear normal Dungeons. This setup is not strong enough to survive Solo Arenas like the Maelstrom Arena, Vateshran Hollows and Infinite Archive. For this purpose you should use a dedicated Solo PVE Sorcerer Build. For a strong No Trial Gear Setup you can replace Relequen with Order’s Wrath and wear a full monster Set like Kjalnar’s Nightmare.
