DPS Magika Sorcerer – The Valkyn’s Destroyer

Armor Types

Gear and Item Set Info

This set is built around proccing the Valkyn Skoria set bonus. Because we are magika based we use all light armour.

Head - Valkyn Skoria (City of Ash 2 vet)

Chest - Julianos (6 trait craftable)

Shoulders - Valkyn Skoria

Hands - Julianos

Waist - Julianos

Legs - Julianos

Feet - Julianos

All armour with legendary Max Magika glyphs or tri-stat. All armour divines trait.

Neck - Burning Spellweave (City of Ash)

Ring - Burning Spellweave

Ring - Burning Spellweave

Weapon 1 - Burning Spellweave Lightning Staff - Precise, Sharpened or Decisive - Spell damage glyph.

Weapon 2 - Burning Spellweave Inferno Staff - Precise, Sharpened or Decisive - Spell damage glyph.

Valkyn Skoria gives an 8% chance to summon a meteor dealing 10k damage to a target and 4k to surrounding enemies once every 8 seconds when using damage over time (which we use constantly)

Julianos increases our spell crit and damage for probably the best sustain for mag dps in the game.

Burning spellweave we will only have 4 pieces but the bonuses from that will add to this build nicely.

General Info

Consumables we will be using: Max health food constantly and on bosses using spell crit potions.

Method to the madness: Power surge will increase our damage but most importantly it will heal us for 2.5k whenever we crit (which is roughly 60% of the time). First bar is all DoT AoE, which procs Valkyn Skoria. Second bar is for burning bosses and single targets.

We use lightning staff because with the passive, our heavy attacks deal 120% damage to surrounding enemies making it ideal for mobs whilst at the same time proccing the valkyn set.

Battle method: 

Mobs: Power Surge, Hurricane, Hardened Ward, Lightning Flood, Wall of Elements, heavy attack, and repeat keeping all aoe and surge on at all times.

Bosses: Use the above method but then use elemental drain, haunting curse and force pulse before returning to re-applying all lightning aoe.
