Magicka Sorcerer PVP

Nemesis is a lethal burst damage Magicka Sorcerer PVP Build in ESO, designed for Battlegrounds and open world PVP. The build offers insane burst damage that can destroy your targets in a moment and great survivability. Our Armor Sets and skills strengthen our damage potential and offer options to replenish our Magicka so we can keep fighting. Nemesis is a No Pet Magsorc PVP Build!

The goal of Nemesis is to kill enemies as fast as possible but also to survive attacks from multiple enemies. If things start going south you can always escape and reset the fight. If you are a new player, you can take a look at my Sorcerer Beginner Guide. For a Pet Magicka Sorcerer PVP Build you can take a look at Legion. You can find more Builds in the Sorcerer Builds page.
