If it doesn't I just use a couple ticks of Overload to finish them off. In most cases a single cast of Shattering Prison + Elemental Blockade + Elemental Ring will kill just about anything. With a high base crit and using Critical Surge health return is so high there is no glass cannon feeling.Įverything up to level 50 mobs you will be better off with Elemental Ring because the bonus damage will be more than 10% of their HP. You don't need those ticks of hp because your hp pool is so small it fills up from just pure burst damage. If you go all in on Magicka its all about bursting eveything down before they hurt you. I know my HoTs can crit per tick so I think DoTs would do the same. So for a more sustained build he went with the dot. If you have a mob with say 5k hp Pulsar does instant 650 dmg.įor more burst yes, but I think he is looking at the fact that dots can crit per tick which will generate health per crit instead of just lobbing a large chunk of damage off the first hit.
13% off max hp is huge compared to the dot.

I have respecc'd about 5 times already so I have a lot of experience with many different Sorcerer builds, so if you have any questions just feel free to ask.Īlways pick Pulsar over Elemental Ring. I have been using this build since about mid 20s (obviously with much lower crit) all the way to Veteran rank 1 to such an awesome degree of effectiveness that I very often just go out to AoE grind because it was significantly more effective for gaining experience and TONS of loot! I keep my stamina Pool as small as possible and enchant Jewelry with +stam recovery because Dark Conversion is the most effective way to rapidly regen mana. With the MASSIVE amount of healing from just one single Elemental Ring I never have to worry about healing of any kind. Combining this with "The Ritual" mundus stone and you can do some SERIOUSLY effective healing!Īs a side note, I am running Critical Surge/Shattering Prison/Elemental Blockade/Elemental Ring/Inner Light with a Fire Destro stave as a Sorcerer with 55% crit and I can easily take on 5~6 mobs at a time that are several levels higher than me. This is by far the BEST buff to use for healers as no other single spell/talent will buff your heals by as much as 20%. This will last PLENTY long enough for most encounters and buff all healing stave abilities. Lastly, if you are going for a healing build then you would want to morph to Power Surge to extend the length of the spell to 40 seconds total. 70% chance to heal yourself for 65% of the damage you do? Yes please. At this point you easily have 60% chance to crit with any spell and a 70% chance to crit if you use a Fire Stave with the Destro passive Tri-Focus. If you are a Sorcerer and use Shattering Prison with the Exploitation passive that is another 15% chance to crit. You can pick up another 5% crit chance with the 3 piece "Willows Path" crafted set bonus. This compounded with Prodigy (10% crit with light armor), a rare crafted weapon with the precise aspect (5% Crit), and the Thief Mundus Stone (5+% crit based off of level/gear enchants) will net you a base 40% chance to crit. If you choose to morph it to Critical Surge you should also be running Mage Light morphed to Inner Light to increase your crit by an additional 20%. Secondly, the healing effect is insanely powerful. If you use the Destro/Resto spells then the benefit is HUGE (about 20% increase). Surge will not boost your class skills, if you are only using class skills you should not really bother with it. That is why when you hit Veteran rank 1 or higher the damage continues to scale for weapon skills but not class skills. Weapon skills (to include Destro/Resto stave SPELLS) scale off of the damage your weapon does. Wow, there sure is a lot of misunderstanding about Surge/Critical Surge and how mechanics scale.įirst off, Class skills that use mana scale off of your attribute points and stop scaling at level 50.
