Absolutely loving this build. Thank you for all of the work you do, Xynode. You are the go-to for my wife and I for all things build videos and mechanics guides.
iv switched a couple morphs for easier timers for myself and moved the rune to the front bar so i can use it again for longer empower upteam and im really enjoying this, i thought the damage was decent and survivability ok while running around doing overland, delves and world bosses but decided to give the dummy a hump and hit 62k which might not seem a lot to most people but thats my highest dps run ever so i was well happy with that so cheers again for the build and vid
I hit 23K. I feel awful. I will keep trying. Are you on PC? I have to use the xbox controller. with light attack weaves, I try to use a metronome at 55bps, making sure I have released the trigger for la and hit skill every beat. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong
This has been my main since I started playing ESO 3 years ago. I made a few changes as I really enjoyed a lot of the things from the previous build. I've removed bound aegis from the back bar and replaced with lightning flood, and I've put Scalding Rune on the front bar and replaced it with daedric mines, not as a spammable but for the passives. Placing Scalding Rune from front bar before heavy attacking means I have 100% uptime on Empower which is beautiful.
You should have 10p% uptime on empower anyway but if not, squeeze an inner light cast between a couple heavies once in a while. You have such sustainability you won't notice the cost and its easy to maintain without stressing on changes. But whatever works! Thank you and enjoy!
@@xynodegaming Yup my bad xy it's because I didn't have 2/2 of the Mages Guild passive lol. And yes that's why I love this so much, your never low on mag cus of heavy attacking 😁. Ur doing gods work!
nice one xynode, cant wait to dust off my easy sorc build that got supplanted with a 1 bar oaken build im using on slot 2, cheers for the vid its much appreciated
Hey buddy just need help with my build on eso I'm a brenton sorc I'm running galerion's with medusa jewellery and zann monter set is that still a good set but need help with skills for pve dungeons if there is a another gear set u recommend would be much appreciated mainly skills bar and I'm using medusa lighting staff
Wow what a build! I've tried to change it a bit and had some success! If your rubbish like me switch out orders for winters respite! With your staff dot down if helps you heal without the clanfear in tow, also if its a boss switch mages wrath out for revealing Flair for an extra 10% dam mit, with that and winters you can still pump out damage and heal with your shields up! Also I tried noble dualist along side with sergeant and its destroys adds and trash so quick! Might be the meta farming set up!
Awesome vids man, just chill out on the gear sections. It’s so difficult to keep up with traits and enchantments, weights etc, just start at the top of the fb weapon and work down please!
Two questions: 1. Is this still pretty much the same build now in Firesong versus when you published this back during Lost Depths? Has the build changed up in any way? 2. Have you experimented with or looked into using the Devyric monster set with this build, since it boosts your heavy attack? No idea how it compares to Zaans. I know that I absolutely love Zaans and have used it loads for several months now, but I'm just getting into heavy attack Magicka builds, and Devyric looks promising but it would be nice to get some other perspectives before putting time and energy into getting and using it.
I can't find a good reference where that +70% damage of heavy attack against off balance enemies is coming from. Is that just what the off balance status does? Also is anything proccing concussion as an AOE? The unstable wall ticks should only have about 2.6% chance per tick to trigger that as the LA and HA itself shouldn't be triggering concussion.
Attention! This week (27.-28.8.) the Golden vendor in Cyrodiil sells Sergeant's Ring. Don't miss the opportunity to buy gold ring for golds or alliance points.
@@Werdux. Lost depths version is in the video, this is a lost depths update. If you are on console you will ofc have to wait for the patch to land before everything lines up in just over a week :)
Thanks for putting this out! Old Gold. Been running variants of this build on my Magsorc main for more years than I care to admit. Always solid. I’m looking forward to updating my build with this and putting it through its paces.
Well, pets aren't used in this update of the build nor the mines.. surge only needed if you want heals (ring covers crit), then got the other buff (hurricane), scorching runes isn't necessary (ring has empower).. so 2 buffs, execute, unstable wall of elements and last one aegis or maybe trap + fighter's ulti for the passives from the guild.. Not sure, that's why I asked ^-^.. also I assume that lover would go better if using ring🤔
There are non trial options in the video specifically the AOE variant, but remember EVERYTHING can be farmed on normal and since the trial stuff (while farming on normal) does not drop from the end boss you can take them on on normal difficulty with a smaller group (just a couple of the bosses drop what you need, no jewellery or weapons required) and then reset and go back in again on repeat till you have what you need. Failing that there are some options on the website www.xynodegaming.com/easysorc hope that helps :)
Would there be a benefit to run crystal weapons considering it buffs heavies? Like potentially taking the shield off the back bar, slotting hurricane there instead and have crystal wep where hurricane was ?
Honestly, that's probably worth trying considering it's also a minor prophecy proc. I'm curious how it would function front bar weaving HA with it the only issues i just thought of though is that you don't really wanna spend another gcd on backbar where possible. I wonder if mage's wrath is worth replacing since sorc execute isn't great anyway. Maybe keep hurricane front bar and replace mage wrath with crystal weapon. The other is stam usage -- we really don't have any good ways to get that stam back unless we went with crunchy spider skewer maybe?
before i could only do 45k dps parse on trial dummy, and that was after months of using the same build. with this build i did over 60k dps from the first try without having any idea what i was doing. amazingly fun build!
I was so bummed when they old sets were nerfed I used them on magcro and magdk to clear my first arenas. Glad it's back hopefully some newbs find this and use it to get their first clears
I'm gonna try this but I duno if it will work well lol but with it being sorc with streak just incase I bet you could run sea serpants coil instead of the monsters set. 1 piece pen or crit chance depending. What you think ?
Is this gear easy to get for a noob lv450 cp like myself? I used to play pet sorc but i hate the pets im willing to change to a different pve build for dungeons and trials but i dont want gear from trials since i dont have a trial guild/group yet. Am i able to get this gear myself
Man, I'm just trying to get back into ESO with a fresh toon (have a lvl 800-something Nightblade) and am looking for a decent smooth-brained leveling build; is there a cliff notes version of this or a 5-10 min vid someone can recommend? This seems like a badass guide but I'm not going to remember 49 min worth of info right now lol.
Great! I loved this build a lot in the past when there were no pets. And now it is BACK! Its time to wipe dust off my Dwain Dibley bretonian easy sorcerer :-) Thank You!
Looks like it could easily be turned into a one bar, oakensoul build. Maybe not so much DPS but less bar swapping. I have the sets, may try it this weekend.
That was never one of the options, medusa was paired with Siroria previously. However i explained in the video any PREVIOUS setup will still "work" if you don;'t want to change anything but you will get very different results based on adapting to the new update and combat changes. Bare in mind if you try to do the NEW stuff with THAT setup you are trying to stack minor force when you cannot.
@@xynodegaming thanks for the reply. I have undaunted infiltrator that equipped with IA and it's working nicely while I farm the Sergeant jewelry. Thanks!
After coming back to this game 6 years later and jumping to pc now I tried a Stamcro build and i wasnt impressed. I remember being lvl 380s and doing Maelstrom Areas and being tanky not a squish ass melee range dummy. I keep hearing you need Ring of the pale order bla bla bla like im lvl 340cp im not even close to that kind of stuff. I missed the Duel pet necro potence build that i could solo anything even at a low lvl so yesterday i started over and god i miss this Sorc. You showed End Game build but do you have a beginners 1 and 2 setup before getting to engame trials stuff? Im thinking like Nirn jewelry and weps plus Maw and up in the air on the other 5 set. I have Aegis from the necro as well so when i get to 50 i can probably use all of that for now.
Hey, I’m still fairly new to the game so what sets would you recommend to be trials ready to get this stuff. I’m using azureblight and overwhelming surge currently and haven’t figured out a monster set to use yet
Now we know that back barred MA weapons aren't maintaining their damage when on the front bar (until it gets fixed), how much will that impact this build?
@@xynodegaming But is it still worth using? Since we have to be in melee range for the Trap and Hurricane anyway, could BRP Dual Wield backbar work, replacing Hurricane with Deadly Cloak and swapping its place on the bars with Unstable Wall? Or 2H MA with Stampede analogue to as described before for Deadly Cloak? Stampede might also help get back into melee range when mechanics push you out. And speaking of group content, what would you recommend to provide Minor Prophecy? Swap out the Rune with Tomb and ask for Empower from the group via Necro, or swap out the Execute for Tomb instead? Or even one of the passive slottables (btw, why Inner Light and not Camo Hunter)? Also also, with the change to the Atro, would using the Atro be a worthy ultimate here even without Daedric Prey, just to get the synergy for the group? Sorry for so many questions at once, but unfortunately there aren't many spaces where theorycrafting HA builds is welcome. :)
@@jnrmodding6468 The build is fully designed this way on purpose. What you are looking for by the sounds of it is a totally different build. But if you want to use the information in the video to influence your own build, by all means do so. A lot of what you are asking is in the video. However, the game is designed upon the foundation of choice, so make whatever choices work for you Just understand you will get VERY different results :)
@@xynodegaming thanks for the reply. Tested some stuff, is the damage from Crushing Wall *per tick*? Looks like it to me in testing, but I'm not 100% sure. In that case, I can completely understand why you kept it, lol. I originally thought it was per cast.
@@jnrmodding6468 it's for the whole duration for the skill per tick. But there is a fix for it coming soon as it has a bit of a bug on live with the nee patch. Won't be long though
Could Noble Duelist or Undaunted Infiltrator work for most content too, replacing one of the two sets? Or have these two considered to be the most well rounded?

Wrathful Strikes vs Untamed Aggression? Wrathful improves skill damage (heavy attack is not considered a skill), Untamed improves EVERYTHING including your heavy attack damage. I thought the points was to boost heavy attack damage?
Light and heavy attacks count as "Damage abilities" the only difference is they are free ;) The difference is minimal but there IS a difference. The only thing wrathful strikes does NOT affect when it comes to stuff like that is HEALING abilities. Anything that does damage that you have to activate manually gains damage from it. Untamed aggression is spell/weapon damage throughout which DOES affect healing skills and damage combined.
@@xynodegaming Greetings! I appreciate the prompt reply and the explanation. I think I'll stick with the Untamed on necro to bolster the Spirit Guardian a bit. It is a bit disconcerting that the Wrathful node does not show up on the character sheet, nor does the Bloodthirsty so the player can visually verify that the increase is happening and being boosted by Major Sorcery/Brutality. But it is what it is. Thank you for your clarification.
@@youtubeaccount159 You can easily verify it by not slotting the CP and heavying a dummy 10 times (to account for an average), then slotting it back again, hitting it 10 times and taking a note of the damage difference. You can't visually verify a lot of things in this game, but if you keep track of the numbers using an add-on (that is of course if you're on PC), it's not hard to theorycraft these things
@@silentseashore uh, Xynode explained it perfectly already...and as I already said, I'll go with Untamed since my build uses Spirit Guardian which boosts my self healing.
would love to do lair of maarselok to get azureblight. unfortunately the last 4 times i managed to actually get into it, the entire group leaves immediately. eso everybody :D
@@xynodegaming normal is what i queued for ;) since i came back i have not entered a single dlc dungeon where at least one person didn't dip immediatley
@@theNobahdee313 win some lose some, you will get it for sure. The good thing is you don't need the last boss (drops weapons and jewels) so you can just kill a couple of bosses, loot it, go out, come back in if you REALLY want to. Completing it is not the key, farming the right items is, and that CAN drop from trash too. Pick up groups are good and bad, you just got unlucky. It happens, even on live stream ;) You got this!
Depends on how well YOU can solo the content you are going up against. There is no WIN recipe for solo when the mechanics are on you, BUT yes this can hold it's own all day long :)
even with this build i feel like im still struggling to stay alive on vet activities and even some of the normal stuff, think i need a lot of practise or im doing something wrong
The reason theres no parse included is that these kind of heavy attack builds dont parse jackshit, sorc is pretty simple with an conventional meta build look one up and you will be hitting 120k+ after practising the rota with fully specced out gear
@@kaljamahapena4673 I managed to parse 100k using an Oakensoul HA setup. HA is great these days! That's why I'm interested in comparing builds to pick the best one.
🤔I wonder if my husband’s original op heavy attack aoe scamp sorc will work now, I always attempted to work every new rotation for every class around the timing of that first rotation I learned, due to muscle memory. I may just actually play again if I can avoid dummy humping for hours learning new rotations every other month🤣
@@mikemacon413 I want to run my 2 pets in a reasonably effective manner. I believe my necropotence is not really that good now, for example, but I am not a min-maxer at all, so coverage would help. Though I really wish for a true WoW-like pet class (Hunter).
greate video, just a question from noob player here, since the core mechanic provided from destruction staff and mages guild skill line, is this build suitable for other classes, like magblade, magpler?
Probably...while sorcs are possibly the strongest heavy attack, I've always had heaps of fun and bucket loads of damage with dk and templar heavy attack builds using exactly the same set ups...even nightblade was ok too
Great build! Tinkering with this to make a one-bar version with oakensoul, with different sets for single target and AoE. I was digging through HA-sets and noticed Storm Master is a thing, a dungeon set thats easy to get, and messing around in the build calculator it appears to scale its bonus with other damage buffs. Would Storm Master be viable for this build (probably with Sergeant's) and would it perform better or worse than infallible mage? Or even an intermediary option for players who can't get into vets and trials just yet. Eager to get your opinion on this, keep up the good work!
It doesn't perform better, but use whatever works for you. Just remember AI can be acquired on NORMAL as explained in the video. There is NO perfected version and you don't even have to kill the last bosses because you only need body pieces. All bosses but the last one, chests, and trash can drop everything you need ON normal.
Thanks for the video (and always having a written guide for us oldies!) - question, could Queens Elegance work as one of the sets for this build? I'm a long way off Mages Guild 10 to get the Empower passive from there so looking for another way to get that 80% boost.
This build saved my sorcerer from the nerfs it got hit by this recent patch, thank you so much

same. He gotta enrich those videos with parse, otherwise they are worthless
I am trying to use this build but i barely so 8k dps lol is it because I'm only level 300?
Hi I have a question. Do You think the Archdruid Devyric monster set is viable for Easy Sorc? In my opinion it should be good option.
I second this question.
Will Oakensoul work too? Since now gives empower too.. If is a yes, the armour sets you gave as options are still okay? how would skills will change?
I'm also interested in an Oakensoul variant, Xy!
just got my ring and was thinking for sure the ez sorc would start using that hah. not sure which set i would drop the 5th piece on tho
Wouldn't the 1 bar limitation wreck your usable skills though? With pets on both bars you really only have like 2 slots (plus surge)

@@xynodegaming thanks for the reply. Tested some stuff, is the damage from Crushing Wall *per tick*? Looks like it to me in testing, but I'm not 100% sure. In that case, I can completely understand why you kept it, lol. I originally thought it was per cast.
@@jnrmodding6468 it's for the whole duration for the skill per tick. But there is a fix for it coming soon as it has a bit of a bug on live with the nee patch. Won't be long though
Hey nice guide!! Btw what is the race & mundus 💀
You save my sorcerer. Thank you
Is the build still viable now?
Could Noble Duelist or Undaunted Infiltrator work for most content too, replacing one of the two sets? Or have these two considered to be the most well rounded?
you're vids are amazin. ive had a high elf sorc i didn't know what to do with. im now almost done leveling my build.

My all-time fave build. Thanks for the update, Xy!
Hey what about Queen's Ele- ... aww man. Lol good save
lol
Easy Sorc for the win..!!! Thank you, Xy..!!!
Thanks Xy! Some typos in the written guide gear alternative setup, just for your info :)
video and written guide are not fully live yet.
Wrathful Strikes vs Untamed Aggression? Wrathful improves skill damage (heavy attack is not considered a skill), Untamed improves EVERYTHING including your heavy attack damage. I thought the points was to boost heavy attack damage?
Light and heavy attacks count as "Damage abilities" the only difference is they are free ;)
The difference is minimal but there IS a difference. The only thing wrathful strikes does NOT affect when it comes to stuff like that is HEALING abilities. Anything that does damage that you have to activate manually gains damage from it. Untamed aggression is spell/weapon damage throughout which DOES affect healing skills and damage combined.
@@xynodegaming Greetings! I appreciate the prompt reply and the explanation. I think I'll stick with the Untamed on necro to bolster the Spirit Guardian a bit. It is a bit disconcerting that the Wrathful node does not show up on the character sheet, nor does the Bloodthirsty so the player can visually verify that the increase is happening and being boosted by Major Sorcery/Brutality. But it is what it is. Thank you for your clarification.
@@youtubeaccount159 no worries at all and most welcome, glad to help!
@@youtubeaccount159 You can easily verify it by not slotting the CP and heavying a dummy 10 times (to account for an average), then slotting it back again, hitting it 10 times and taking a note of the damage difference. You can't visually verify a lot of things in this game, but if you keep track of the numbers using an add-on (that is of course if you're on PC), it's not hard to theorycraft these things
@@silentseashore uh, Xynode explained it perfectly already...and as I already said, I'll go with Untamed since my build uses Spirit Guardian which boosts my self healing.
Whats with exploiter CP?
How much dps is it doing on a 21m ?
60-70k lmao
@@High.- lmao
@@byronicmaren2709 lmao
@köv it's not
Yes!!!!!! Random dungeons with detriments won't be as painful anymore!!!!
Fk yes zos.
Fk yes!!
would love to do lair of maarselok to get azureblight. unfortunately the last 4 times i managed to actually get into it, the entire group leaves immediately.
eso everybody :D
Run it on NORMALY, there is ZERO benefit to running Vet if you are just looking for the gear. You can always upgrade it when you have it ;)
@@xynodegaming normal is what i queued for ;) since i came back i have not entered a single dlc dungeon where at least one person didn't dip immediatley
@@theNobahdee313 win some lose some, you will get it for sure. The good thing is you don't need the last boss (drops weapons and jewels) so you can just kill a couple of bosses, loot it, go out, come back in if you REALLY want to. Completing it is not the key, farming the right items is, and that CAN drop from trash too.
Pick up groups are good and bad, you just got unlucky. It happens, even on live stream ;)
You got this!
Where is the parse?
How good for being solo? Also orc or high elf, I can't decide
Depends on how well YOU can solo the content you are going up against. There is no WIN recipe for solo when the mechanics are on you, BUT yes this can hold it's own all day long :)
even with this build i feel like im still struggling to stay alive on vet activities and even some of the normal stuff, think i need a lot of practise or im doing something wrong
does the SM buff refresh on the first tick from the HA?
yup
Also, new follower. I like your builds
For as long as the video is, I would have liked to see a parse included please.
The reason theres no parse included is that these kind of heavy attack builds dont parse jackshit, sorc is pretty simple with an conventional meta build look one up and you will be hitting 120k+ after practising the rota with fully specced out gear
@@kaljamahapena4673 I managed to parse 100k using an Oakensoul HA setup. HA is great these days! That's why I'm interested in comparing builds to pick the best one.
@@kaljamahapena4673 there’s a 94k HA 1 bar sorc parse on trial dummy rn
Where is the actual parse
🤔I wonder if my husband’s original op heavy attack aoe scamp sorc will work now, I always attempted to work every new rotation for every class around the timing of that first rotation I learned, due to muscle memory. I may just actually play again if I can avoid dummy humping for hours learning new rotations every other month🤣
I've only been playing for about six months, and this build is bonkers!!! I love it
Let's see a pet sorc version, along with a more solo focus.
you mean, like the immediately previous version which had the twilight?
@@mikemacon413 I want to run my 2 pets in a reasonably effective manner. I believe my necropotence is not really that good now, for example, but I am not a min-maxer at all, so coverage would help.
Though I really wish for a true WoW-like pet class (Hunter).
greate video, just a question from noob player here, since the core mechanic provided from destruction staff and mages guild skill line, is this build suitable for other classes, like magblade, magpler?
Probably...while sorcs are possibly the strongest heavy attack, I've always had heaps of fun and bucket loads of damage with dk and templar heavy attack builds using exactly the same set ups...even nightblade was ok too
Love it!
Great build! Tinkering with this to make a one-bar version with oakensoul, with different sets for single target and AoE.
I was digging through HA-sets and noticed Storm Master is a thing, a dungeon set thats easy to get, and messing around in the build calculator it appears to scale its bonus with other damage buffs. Would Storm Master be viable for this build (probably with Sergeant's) and would it perform better or worse than infallible mage? Or even an intermediary option for players who can't get into vets and trials just yet. Eager to get your opinion on this, keep up the good work!
It doesn't perform better, but use whatever works for you. Just remember AI can be acquired on NORMAL as explained in the video. There is NO perfected version and you don't even have to kill the last bosses because you only need body pieces. All bosses but the last one, chests, and trash can drop everything you need ON normal.
Thanks for the video (and always having a written guide for us oldies!) - question, could Queens Elegance work as one of the sets for this build? I'm a long way off Mages Guild 10 to get the Empower passive from there so looking for another way to get that 80% boost.
Thank you! This build is a great daily driver
Can you make a gear Update and maybe spells
oddly enough, hrothgar is really good on magsorc
Love the look of this build and love all your helpful content one question can this build be used well for solo play ?
I was so depressed watching nurf vid depression after nurf vid depression this vid just turned my perspective round completely
So now it's more effective to just heavy attack without casting a skill just after ? That's very surprising.
Thanks for the build. I'm not sure what I'm dong wrong but I can only get a little over 50k on a dummy parse.
How hard did he say he's hitting?
Keep practicing and be sure you have everything in place. Timing is important even if it is designed to be simple.
@@xynodegaming what do you parse with this build? Everyone's asking lol
No pet anymore? Niceee
