The Stamina Sorcerer in PvP is one of the most unique playstyles in the game.  It’s fast and has the escapability needed for solo play while also providing incredible burst single target and AoE. This build is focused on Dual Wield single target pressure and uses Two Handed for buffs. Expect big AoE damage with good damage overtime pressure. You’ll need to be cognizant of the infinite resource loop with Dark Deal, casting this when full of magicka to replace your stamina.  I’ve also added a section and gear option for Werewolf and is now my preferred method to play it!

If you’re looking for a group dps build click HERE, one bar build HERE or a PvP build HERE.  Also, consider watching me on Twitch where you can ask me questions about my current builds.

Pros

• The fastest build out their
• Incredible burst single target
• One of the best group utility setups

Cons

• No cleanse to rid yourself of negative effects
• Best played at one speed, 100%

Skills

Front Bar: Dual Wield - Maces

Front Bar Weapon Options:

• Two-handed has the best passives for sustain and burst.
• Dual Wield has the best passives for pure damage and big AoE damage.
• Bow has great burst damage with the Toxic Barrage ultimate at range but needs 2-3 abilities for damage to make it work.

They are all good choices depending on your playstyle and needs. Experiment with what works best.

Streak (Morph of Bolt Escape | Skill line: Storm Calling) - stun that cannot be avoided and mobility tool.

Bound Armaments (Morph of Bound Armor | Skill line: Daedric Summoning) - boost our max stats, damage and after 4 stacks you have a burst damage tool paired very well with heavy attack and Elemental Weapon combo.

Crystal Weapon (Morph of Crystal Shard | Skill line: Dark Magic) - bursting tool single target, pre-cast into fully charged heavy attack.

Rending Slashes (Morph of Twin Slashes | Skill line: Dual Wield) - Great single target DoT pressure especially if using Master's dual wield.

Back Bar: Restoration Staff

Back Bar Weapon Options:

• Restoration staff - the best buffs and healing. The strength of Resto is fully charged heavy attacks for major mending and magicka sustain.
• Sword and Shield - great choice when blocking The benefit of a sword and shield is using stamina for block mitigation when taking tons of pressure. Switch to sword and shield if you like a slower pace gameplay or if you struggle with survivability.
• Two-handed great - for buffs and healing. The Rally skill has the best passives for sustain and burst.
• Frost Staff - can either use magicka or stamina for blocking and gives as much damage reduction as Sword and Shield and you can use the spell damage enchant and have some range.

They are all good choices depending on your playstyle and needs. Experiment with what works best.

Hurricane (Morph of Lightning Form | Skill line: Storm Calling) - armor buff that does AoE damage and gives minor expedition.

Critical Surge (Morph of Surge | Skill line: Storm Calling) - Weapon damage buff and really good healing.

Race Against Time (Morph of Accelerate | Skill line: Psijic Order) - Speed, critical damage, and shield when blocking. Swap to Shuffle from Medium Armor skill line if you don't have the skill line or Elude if you want on demand major expedition outside of dodge rolls.

Dark Deal (Morph of Dark Exchange | Skill line: Dark Magic) - resource sustaining tool and reason we spec food for massive stat pool.  You should be using this constantly when full magicka.

Resolving Vigor (Morph of Vigor | Skill line: Assault) - burst heal over time.

Ice Comet (Morph of Meteor | Skill line: Mages Guild) - if playing solo, super bursting tool that cannot be blocked once you streak through them. Swap to Temporal Guard or Negate if you want something defensive.

Werewolf Bar (when transformed)

If you choose to play this as a Werewolf, here's what you need to know. In this build Werewolf pairs greatly with a new mythic, the Oakensoul Ring, because as the werewolf, you have only one bar regardless. If you are playing as Werewolf, use these skills and ultimate:

Feral Pounce (Morph of Pounce | Skill line: Werewolf) - Great for closing distance and double cast for execute.

Hircines Fortitude (Morph of Hircine's Bounty | Skill line: Werewolf) - Incredible heal that gives us major brutality

Deafening Roar (Morph of Roar | Skill line: Werewolf) - AoE stuff that sets off balance and gives major breach and minor maim.

Howl Of Agony (Morph of Piercing Howl | Skill line: Werewolf) - Strong conal damage in front hits harder.

Claws Of Life (Morph of Infectious Claw | Skill line: Werewolf) - Incredible debuff and damage over time that heals very well.

Pack Leader (Morph of Werewolf Transformation | Skill line: Werewolf) - This ult gives you a boost to weapon damage/spell damage via minor courage and you take 10% less damage.
