ESO - Stamina Sorcerer Rotation (58k+ on 6mil) - See Description

Uploaded September 2018 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago

Edit 31st October - Please see updated video for Murkmire - youtu.be/-kod_JZGM_U

This is a video to showcase a Stamina Sorcerer rotation. Again, it's not a build video as such. Any information here is subject to change before the official release of Murkmire. If this page needs updating, then I shall do so.

These tests were done to compare indirectly with a Stamina Nightblade. Identical buffs to a Stamblade were received (Minor Savagery, Major Fracture and Breach and Minor Berserk). Orbs were also given as standard. Thanks, @stileanima!

The DPS of this class should only be compared to other Stamina classes in my recent videos - and NOT the Magicka classes.

I waited until now to upload Stamina Sorcerer because we were expecting a positive change to Sorcerer sustain in PTS 4.2.1. We got a buff to dark deal - which doesn't really help us here. I tried it and ended up losing DPS versus just using heavy attacks.

As you can see, Stamina Sorcerer's ST damage seems to be inline with other stamina classes. Note: There is a little bit of minor vulnerability coming from the Atronach (12% in this parse), which inflates the parse by around 500 dps here.

Sustain for a Stamina Sorcerer is by far the worst out of all Stamina classes. The difference between Stamina Drain and Stamina Regen is too high and there is no way to control this other than use heavy attacks (or Dark Deal, which I already mentioned is undesirable). For this reason, I chose to use Dubious drink instead of Max HP Max Stam food. As a consequence, I chose Ravager over Advancing Yokeda, since the HP bonus makes brings your HP pool to a safer threshold - 15.8k HP (or 17k HP for the duration that your Storm Atronach is up) instead of 14.5k HP or so with Advancing Yokeda.

Since I never wrote/showed Stamina Sorcerer stuff before, I'll write a little about the rotation - it is quite simple so there isn''t much to say.

--- Rotation

Backbar rotation is almost always Hail - Caltrops - Poison Injection. Use your ultimate if its up, as the fourth skill.

Front bar rotation is simply casting your dots on cooldown whenver possible (hurricane, trap and rending slashes). For the rest of the time, just spam crushing weapon (and that is a lot of time spent spamming this skill). Rending slashes, trap and hurricane can all be recast a second or two early if you are switching to your back bar. Nothing really changes throughout.

Ballista and Storm Atronach ultimates do pretty similar DPS. If I am bringing a Stamina Sorcerer to a raid, I would rather bring the Storm Atronach for the nice synergy that your teammates can use.

$ESO - Stamina Necromancer Rotation - First Look - Elsweyr PTS 5.0.0 Introduction This is my video with first impressions on the Stamina Necromancer, with a demonstration of a Dual Wield/Bow rotation. Do ask me any questions in the comments, and Ill try my best to answer them. A few things to get out of the way: - Take the DPS Numbers with a pinch of salt. Pet Damage is bugged since it crits 100% of the time - New raid target dummy currently seems buggy with regards to Engulfing Flames and fire abilities, though none used here - Pretty much anything you see here is subject to change - My ideas and whats best will probably change depending on what others discover I am testing with the new 21M HP Raid Dummy, which has a selection of Buffs/Debuffs included. They can be bit unrealistic (100% major force) for example, but at least consistent. One thing that I have not tested is which debuffs are included. Seems like I am still 7k or so underpen (no Alkosh, crusher, Minor fracture?) I havent tested and hopefully I can update this part when we find out more. Combat Metrics Parse from Video (104.4k DPS) https://i.imgur.com/PvLKZuM.png Build used in Video (CPs are selected to be generically raid-ready) https://i.imgur.com/RAx1IAR.png Necromancer Build Info - My skill bars shown in the video are as follows: Dual Wield Bar: Rending Slashes - Venom Skull - Rearming Trap - Detonating Siphon - Blighted Blastbones - Flawless Dawnbreaker Bow Bar: Endless Hail - Skeletal Archer - Razor Caltrops - Poison Injection - Detonating Siphon - Pestilent Colossus More information about the Necromancer skills and passives can be found here: https://eso-skillbook.com/skilltree/necromancer I used the Lava Foot Soup-and-Saltrice food. This food gives no HP bonus, however, given the Necromancers 2k HP passive, you will reach nearly 17k HP with Toughness and Ebon, which is plenty enough. Even so, sustain here is certainly less than in trial conditions due to lack of synergies (we do at least get shards with the new dummy, which is nice), and the absence of Sentinal of Rkugamz. There is no emphasis on the gear in this video, still more of a focus on the rotation. Just picked up some sets and rolled with it. I used the Perfected Lokkestiiz set, which is a drop from the new trial. The 5th piece bonus is 1x Weapon Critical, and Major Slayer for 15 seconds when you activate a synergy, which is pretty nice. Relequen and Velidreth continue to be staples whenever suitable. Main Impressions - DPS-wise, the Stamina Necromancer looks to be really strong. Most likely ahead of Stamblades despite the bugged damage mentioned above, at this point. It will probably get tuned down by release and this approach was already stated by the devs. - At the time of recording, the class does feel rather clunky to play. Blighted Blastbones has a tendency to lock you out of using it, even after the skeleton explodes, and it also hides your weapons during the animation, which is quite off-putting. Detonating Siphon sometimes has a knack to make your character face the wrong way, which can lead the skill to not cast properly also lead to missing your next light attacks. The Venom Skull and Skeletal Archer skills feel very good to use, as does the Pestilent Colossus. All of the animations themselves also look great. -The Colossus Ultimate is already weaker than first expected. It seems each cast does infact give you only 3 seconds of Major Vulnerability, instead of 5 seconds as theorised before. The cost has also been adjusted from 150 ultimate as originally seen, to 225 here. Rotation The rotation which has worked best for me so far is shown in the video. It is very similar to that of the Stamina Warden I showed previously. It is reasonably static, but skills can be shifted as youll see I do in the video. Blighted Blastbones acts very much like Subterranean Assault, when in MELEE range. The way that this skill works, is that the Skeleton is summoned 2.5 seconds after the cast. If youre in melee range, then it will explode within 3 global cooldowns of the first cast. The further away you are to the target though, the longer it will take to explode so the rotation will change when attempting to attack targets slightly further away. Best to stay melee whenever possible. Generally speaking the rotation is based on the template: Blastbones - Endless - Archer Blastbones - Caltrops - Injection Blastbones - Rending - Tether Blastbones - Skull - Trap In group play, using the Colossus Ultimate itself will likely depend on when the group needs it, so no real emphasis on you use it. Recasting archer early probably seems counter-intuitive since it does more damage over time, but it seems more consistent this way. Tether should not be recast early, since there is a nice burst damage at the end of the duration. Track: Lost Sky - Vision [NCS Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds.
