This is a showcase of the 2-Pet Sorcerer rotation for use in Elsweyr. This was filmed on the PTS 5.0.4 but is ready for the full release of the Elsweyr Chapter.

The 1-Pet Sorcerer rotation is in a separate video here: youtube.com/watch?v=2N9spInKIgM

This is a rotation performed on the new Raid Dummy. This means there are a selection of buffs and debuffs present, which allows easy comparison between different classes, and for other players to compare against each other, if they wish, as a 'solo' player, without the need of help from another player; a really valuable addition to the game.

Here I have made the decision to use the 'Ghastly Eye Bowl' food. This is so that we can compare more fairly with the Stamina classes where I used the equivalent food for Stamina classes. Also, to make up potential small sustain deficits from no availability from this dummy of Spell Absorption passive and resource return from extra synergies. The dummy also takes 4 minutes to kill. Considering very few fights need this type of sustained damage, and that my Magicka Drain is similar to that of the 6 Million Dummies I posted prior to this, I think this is reasonable. The DPS numbers for these dummies are mainly for comparison purposes.

Gear-wise I used Zaan, Mother's Sorrow and Siroria here. The new False God's Devotion set, which drops from Sunspire, looks to be an excellent set. In many real encounters where Siroria is not optimal, I may well be using Mother's Sorrow paired with this set and use Double Bloody Mara (which is now the best Bi-stat food).

Summary of relevent Magicka Sorcerer DD changes in Elseweyr, and my brief comments:
- Daedric Prey now has a Pet Taunt functionality (similar to the one built into Heavy Attacks), and pets will prioritize these targets. Damage bonus for Pets from this ability has been reduced to 40% from 55%. Pets were already very strong, so this change doesn't really hurt the PVE Pet Sorc too much.
- Liquid Lightning is now a 12 second AOE instead of 10 seconds. Lightning Flood is now an 8-second morph and had its damage increased by 5%. Very welcome buffs for the class, and now Lightning Flood is truly a great morph if it wasn't already. I would be using Lightning Flood now in any trial which involves cleave or trash DPS, even if Liquid Lightning's contribution to ST DPS may be higher.
- Endless Fury now returns Magicka if you hit a target which dies within 5 seconds, rather than only for the killing blow. Increased the Magicka return by approximately 10%. Although this skill doesn't see much use on a 2-Pet Sorc, its a nice quality of life improvement for Magsorcs in PVE.

This rotation has become one of my favourite rotations. It is fully dynamic and pretty chaotic if you're not on top of things. If this rotation is not performed well, then the 1-Pet Sorcerer rotation may likely deal more DPS and be a lot easier to try.

Daedric Prey is the most important ability to keep up. Followed closely are Lightning Flood (or Liquid Lightning if you rather) and blockade. Usually, I will recast Daedric Prey as soon as it explodes, in the video, I keep a 94% uptime of Daedric Prey with no early recasts. This is the type of uptime one should ultimately aim for. The Pet Scamp and then finally the Rearming Trap and Twilight are your lesser priorities in this rotation. Very often there will be conflicts in abilities that need to be reapplied to keep the above in mind. Crystal Fragments and then Elemental Weapon should be cast whenever there is nothing else to do.

One of the limitations of this rotation is the inflexible bar space. If bar space is an issue, I would recommend you check out the 1-Pet Sorcerer rotation (linked soon) where you can fit a Shield, Crit Surge, and other utility skills.

If I could possibly offer a static rotation, this would be it (although I don't think it'd be nearly as effective):

Buff Up:
Channelled Acceleration - Scamp - Twilight - Atro Ulti - Prey (then drop trap if you don't use acceleration)

Then
Flood - Wall - 4x Spammable (Ele Weapon/Frag) - Scamp - Prey
Flood - Wall - Twilight (until 50% then just use 1x Spammable) - Trap - 2x Spammable - Scamp - Prey

Any questions, please ask me in the comments!
