What is your mundus stone of choice for this build?
The Thief
I have no clue where I need to add my passives please could you add to guide
I updated the page with the passives and other information I hope it helps.
Thank you, i have only had the game a few weeks and having some builds to start with has helped me understand how to play sorc a lot better.
What is the reason for the points in Medium Armor/Dexterity? It was my understanding that staff crit was from spell crit not weapon crit?
You are absolutely correct no points need to be spent there. I’m still working on this build so if you have any other suggestions I am more than happy to take them into consideration.
Any change with morrowind?
Do you think this would work with a nord race sorcerer?
This is so terrible, solo build without summons. Basically a worse version of standard dungeon DPS, no way suited for solo or group play.
I’m looking for someone to help with champion points distribution for a sorcerer build with twilight for a 50/160 but I can spend about 189 to distribute points I have no idea how to keep from dying too fast and power ,please help.
Mammadukes2003- Ill post a new build and post the link. Are you wanting a Magicka or stamina build?
and dont follow this build its outdated lol
Mammadues2003- Here is the build you asked for I hope it helps. https://esoacademy.com/builds/the-shocker-surviver-build/
Mammadukes2003 Sorry for the misspell lol
