I love this vid! Better than many I've tried to find out about builds. Thanks for making it easier for a noob like me. I also wanted to m mention I used it in my first Battleground match and only died twice since I coundn't get the exact armor.
Great build thanks! Not sure if it would work well or be effective but as you're stage three vampire would elusive mist work instead of streak? It would add to the vampire feel of the build
That's an interesting setup! So even with those two sets, how do you feel about your damage (aside from frags)? Are your other abilities hitting hard? More details please :-)
@MrJPD123 I find starting with endless fury then light attack overload and then cast frag light attack overload hits very hard! If frag procs again cast it and roll. This does about 25k damage in 2 seconds from first hit. You can streak to stun if no frag proc
I find 2 bar builds are more fun in that you have more utility so don't get as frustrated I.e. you lack hot stacking that mag classes can do e.g. vigor + polar wind + vines. That said, I like the challenge of trying to make builds that do the following: - stay true to the class identify - have proper skills to be viable in most situations - be easy to use - sets that compliment the class or aid weaknesses What about you?
@@Unified-Gaming I find oakensoul builds far more fun than two bar for pvp especially, and even mostly for pve. Keeping buffs up is the least interesting part of ESO's combat system, so not having to worry about that is great and changes the flavor of the game from 80% defense and buff management, 20% burst window to like 65% pressure/burst window, 35% defensive. It feels more like a Smite mode of the day lol, so a MOBA on speed or something like that
@@Unified-Gaming Oh I think thatll be great, but I actually don't mind weaving except for on a few skills, and weaving adds a lot of pressure in pvp. Its the major/minor buffs that dont always feel that impactful to cast. I like that oakensoul makes every skill on your bar feel like they HAVE to be there or the build doesnt work anymore. It makes decisions more important for building which is a super fun limitation, and makes every button mash feel more impactful too. But i am super looking forward to making a few no-weave solo builds for PvE. Wrecking blow is gonna go whack and feel so good
In pvp your shield is reduced. Mine in cyrodiil cp is just over 10k if that helps. The platform shouldn't matter. If you need more help message me on discord as you can post pics there 😊
I did consider it but the issue is the pet does die and you lose shield strength. It also doesn't let people change the pet out if they want as well as being unforgiving - pet dies you lose heal and shield strength. If you wanted to max it further that would eek a tiny bit more damage and shield size.
@@Unified-Gaming You are forgetting how crap I am at PVP. I still use your custom Sorc build because of its higher heath, durability and ranged attack power. I feel naked out of my Pariah heavy armour. 😅
@Tatewaki Gaming Videos you could use these skills and sets but swap crafty for pariah jewellery x2, weapon and chest. Then use ancient x2 and engine. I can mock this up if you like. It'll give more damage with little loss to survival
It works yes but vampire stage 3 really helps you stay tanky and I'd suggest it personally. I have used this without vampire and you need to be more reactive and keep shield ready to go or you can get caught out. Hope it helps!
@@mysticigaultier7972 if you use your armoury slots you can save one with vamp pvp and one without vamp pve. You have 2 slots per character and stations in major cities and most guild houses
@@Unified-Gaming yes true i noticed that thxx, only the grave weapon i cant find i was in pvp map but cant find the vendor ive nothing from the hole set, i know its somewhere by the mill/house icon by the drake castle but didnt find it
@MySTic I GauLTier a stop gap is use 2 will power and 1 extra trainee or druid braid. Option 2 which is similar stats is use endurance weapon (x2 piece) the use 1 druid band instead of ancient grace and put all points in magicka. It is about 1k less magicka and 500 less health than all ancient grace.
When you toggle overload all future light attacks whilst you have ultimate consume ultimate and shoot balls of lightning instead. You're best turning overload on before you engage or when you reposition to counter.
Man, playing sorc without critical surge. I don't bother with the shield in battlegrounds, it costs 4k and disappears in like 2 hits. Better to dodge and literally cheaper to pop 2-3 heals than 2 shields. So I keep the mages wrath. I don't even keep the shield for back bar for battlegrounds, if it's not on the front bar you can't use it in time anyways. I like grundelwolf for the crit and burst regen though. Of you don't worry about the shield though you can up your damage a lot by not worrying about maxing magic pool on every single thing. I run more medium than anything though. Still ups damage but a bit more armor. As long as you get your resistance to at least 25k streak and twilight can get you out of just about anything. I consider vampire frequently but man that cost increase.
I find crit surge lack lustre unless you're on a dot build or have lots of damage sources fast. The issue with 1 bar sorc is you don't have many sources of damage so crit surge doesn't heal much. When it crits in pvp it I'd around a 1500 heal whereas our shield is 10k tool tip in pvp so is significantly stronger. You can build tankier but your damage is lessened. By going max magicka it does also buff your damage. Every 10.5 magicka is equal to around 1 spell damage as well as increasing our shield size. Crafty alfique essentially is a high damage set and necropotence even more - don't sleep on max stat sets especially for magicka focused builds.
Damage is based on spell damage and max resource. 10.5 max resource is = 1 spell/weapon damage. So crafty having a lot of max magicka means it also does a lot of damage. The added benefit is that our shield scales with magicka so the more we have the larger it is. That is why we use this set.
This allows us to keep the mag even if pet dies. With current patch, the no pet is better still. See the newest version on the channel for more details.
Yeah but you'd have a lot less defence. Stage 3 is useful as you get undeath which is like mark of the pariah which is one of the best defence sets in the game.
So I hard cast the frag which procs a 2nd frag some of the time. This 2nd frag is instant cast so casting it then rolling shoots both at once effectively.
Crystal weapon got nerfed a lot and we're pushed for bar space and stam management. Cyrtsal weapon does similar tool tip but you can get the double proc like frags which melts people
I've shown this on stream 3 times and there's around 5 hours on TH-cam live stream. I have a further 3 hours of bg fights too with many on Patreon. I always test my stuff thoroughly and show it live too for transparency.
@Epiko Puppeteer I wouldn't go that far. Your damage buff, armour buff etc are basic skills that people always want active. They last 20-30s with some longer. It isn't skillful to apply them before a fight and reapply as needed. It just is time consuming and can take people out of the fight. The damage of an oaken build is also less than a 2 bar mythic setup so again I struggle to see the problem. What is damaging is the offensive nature of these types of comments. When people use these builds do they hurt your gameplay? No so what is the problem - just seems a bit bizarre "I went through it so they have to." Doesn't seem a smart way to live.
@@Unified-Gaming There isnt any problem. Its build for disabled ppl. I would play it with one hand or playing with my feets. "They last 20-30s with some longer. It isn't skillful to apply them before a fight and reapply as needed." This what you said is completely delusional and i will ignore it cuz if one thinks this way, there isnt any chance to persuade nor help him. It doesnt hurt "my anything". Simple said, its interesting how ppl on pc are mechanically and mentaly entertained playing this build. Seems like you have some problem with that, and thats on you. Doesnt seem a smart way to live.

Thank you timestamp guy!!!!!
This build works and it’s so much fun! Pls keep this build up to date in further videos. Love it! ❤
I love this vid! Better than many I've tried to find out about builds. Thanks for making it easier for a noob like me. I also wanted to m
mention I used it in my first Battleground match and only died twice since I coundn't get the exact armor.
Thanks! I try to make builds be both accessible but effective and think this does just that :)
Love it
Great build thanks! Not sure if it would work well or be effective but as you're stage three vampire would elusive mist work instead of streak? It would add to the vampire feel of the build
I did consider that but streak stuns so helps with damage and also escape as you can stun and move away to shield or heal.
The vampire feel? You're trying to do damage and win whatever game you're playing. Combat isn't really ideal for roleplay
@@WhiteoutMonsterlol
Love the build! I’ve started listening to your vids at night to sleep cause your voice is very relaxing :p
That's the gold old brittish accent. I'm.glad you like the build and I have more ready to go!
Weird comment 😕
@@nick8538 go suck an egg
I run this build with no ward using maras balm and rallying cry. I’m so hard to kill and frags just does incredible damage.
I prefer the shield playstyle and not to crutch on sets that constantly get changed like maras.
That's an interesting setup! So even with those two sets, how do you feel about your damage (aside from frags)? Are your other abilities hitting hard? More details please :-)
@MrJPD123 I find starting with endless fury then light attack overload and then cast frag light attack overload hits very hard! If frag procs again cast it and roll. This does about 25k damage in 2 seconds from first hit. You can streak to stun if no frag proc
I just took the pve version and did great, added shield instead of trap and changed to matriarch
The skills are key for sure.
Having watched the last 5 build videos on here now, do you find oakensoul more fun than two bar builds?
I find 2 bar builds are more fun in that you have more utility so don't get as frustrated I.e. you lack hot stacking that mag classes can do e.g. vigor + polar wind + vines. That said, I like the challenge of trying to make builds that do the following:

It’s great when your insta cast frag procs another insta cast frag. Big damage and burst
100% it's really slept on and catches many players off guard especially with a cheeky overload on the middle.
elemental weapon with overload is so good i remeber making a build with i was one taping people wit it lol but that was 2 years ago
Yeah - I loved it when you could also use crystal weapon too - legit had 3 things at once. Add curse and boom!
This build looks fun. Thanks for sharing it!
Glad you like it!
is this build still working on Necrom ?
For the double frag explanation, why is the roll-dodge necessary? Seems like I can just press frag again right away. Probably I am missing something.
It cancels some of the animation and shoots the 2nd frag faster thus more damage in a shorter time span.
@@Unified-Gaming AAAH!!! ok now I get it. thank you!
Your voice is soothing asf my guy😮
Thanks 👍
Is this best for BGs specifically or also cyrodiil
could you drop curse and run crushing and frags? how would it affect dps and resource maintenance
I like you i subscribed
Great! Thanks for the support 🙏
Have you considered Escapist poison as you have no CC besides streak?
Steak is plenty good 👍
Ok I’ve just noticed my hardened ward is about 8000 less absorption than yours? I’m ps5 player if that matters?
In pvp your shield is reduced. Mine in cyrodiil cp is just over 10k if that helps. The platform shouldn't matter. If you need more help message me on discord as you can post pics there 😊
The ultimate is broken. What to do ??
I thought champion points were disabled in battlegrounds so why are you adjusting your cp points??
I use this in cyrodiil too so show CP for that reason. Some people also use these in pve stuff so want a rough CP load out
Would the stable clannfear be better to use than twilight due to bigger heals?
Not really as you can heal allies which can be useful plus it is ranged so often stays alive longer rather than chasing enemy and getting killed
What about Necropotence? Figured you would have your pet up 100%
I did consider it but the issue is the pet does die and you lose shield strength. It also doesn't let people change the pet out if they want as well as being unforgiving - pet dies you lose heal and shield strength. If you wanted to max it further that would eek a tiny bit more damage and shield size.
Also why fire staff and not Lightning? Fire buufs DoT, lightning boosts direct DMG (crystal frags)
This was recorded when fire staff was better. Now use lightning staff - there is an updated version on the channel so do check that out.
Do you not have a website to document this type of information?
www.unified-gaming.co.uk
NICE! You know I am going to steal this, right?
Haha! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do playing it. Mobile, huge shields and great damage!
@@Unified-Gaming You are forgetting how crap I am at PVP. I still use your custom Sorc build because of its higher heath, durability and ranged attack power. I feel naked out of my Pariah heavy armour. 😅
@Tatewaki Gaming Videos you could use these skills and sets but swap crafty for pariah jewellery x2, weapon and chest. Then use ancient x2 and engine. I can mock this up if you like. It'll give more damage with little loss to survival
@@Unified-Gaming I have all those sets. I’ll give it a whirl.
No vamp is also good on this build?
It works yes but vampire stage 3 really helps you stay tanky and I'd suggest it personally. I have used this without vampire and you need to be more reactive and keep shield ready to go or you can get caught out. Hope it helps!
@@Unified-Gaming ah oké thxx ive a good pve build on my mage but neet a pvp but its no vamp thats why I ask. Thxx for the info
@@mysticigaultier7972 if you use your armoury slots you can save one with vamp pvp and one without vamp pve. You have 2 slots per character and stations in major cities and most guild houses
@@Unified-Gaming yes true i noticed that thxx, only the grave weapon i cant find i was in pvp map but cant find the vendor ive nothing from the hole set, i know its somewhere by the mill/house icon by the drake castle but didnt find it

Option 2 which is similar stats is use endurance weapon (x2 piece) the use 1 druid band instead of ancient grace and put all points in magicka. It is about 1k less magicka and 500 less health than all ancient grace.
can i use necropotency instead of monster set ?
You can but with changes nowadays - I'd use the updated version on the channel.
Question: Why Alfiq instead of Necropotence, since you're running a pet? You get a bit better stats with Necropotence I believe.
With necro only a little more magicka but pet dies you loose loads. Also you're forced to use pet. I did it like this as an ease of play thing
Can I still do this build at cp 500? Or do I need to be at max level?
Yup! If in battlegrounds it is no cp anyway. In cp just get the starts for defence first.
@Unified Gaming OK, thank you.
How to use overload with light attack for example if u use my ulti I need to do a light then skill but you have to cancel the ulti?
When you toggle overload all future light attacks whilst you have ultimate consume ultimate and shoot balls of lightning instead. You're best turning overload on before you engage or when you reposition to counter.
Is this build still good?
Yup - there is an updated version on the channel so do check it out but this still works.
@@Unified-Gaming is it the heavy attack pvp build for sorc?
This is the link to the updated guide th-cam.com/video/swOKr-Ha3ug/w-d-xo.html There's gameplay too on the channel
Man, playing sorc without critical surge. I don't bother with the shield in battlegrounds, it costs 4k and disappears in like 2 hits.

Crafty alfique essentially is a high damage set and necropotence even more - don't sleep on max stat sets especially for magicka focused builds.
why we have to stage 3 vampire ? its killing the healt recovery
Undeath passive to keep you less dead.
undeath = defence. Health regen is reduced by battle spirit anyway by 50% so stacking health regen isn't a good option.
Pro tip, kill a sorcs heal pet first every time 😂
Would lightning staff not be better? It hits multiple targets.
We don't heavy attack often and inferno has a bonus to single target skills like crystal fragments
how about using will power instead of grace?
You can - you'd shield would be a little smaller buf it'd work
Why crafty? does it add a lot of damage?
Damage is based on spell damage and max resource.
10.5 max resource is = 1 spell/weapon damage. So crafty having a lot of max magicka means it also does a lot of damage. The added benefit is that our shield scales with magicka so the more we have the larger it is. That is why we use this set.
Why use Alfiq and not Necropotence if you have pet ? It's more Magicka.
This allows us to keep the mag even if pet dies. With current patch, the no pet is better still. See the newest version on the channel for more details.
can i use vampire tier 1 only
Yeah but you'd have a lot less defence. Stage 3 is useful as you get undeath which is like mark of the pariah which is one of the best defence sets in the game.
I know you killed me probably 15x on a DK in BG's the other day.
Yeah I have a 1 bar dk too which is nutty! That will come out soon as well
Possible race Breton ?
Yes / Oui
1. Dark elf
2. Breton / High elf
3. Imperial / Argonian
Written guide here:
www.unified-gaming.co.uk/pvp-builds/sorcerer
How is rolling gets you a second crystal? There are some abuses in this game I don t really understand.
So I hard cast the frag which procs a 2nd frag some of the time. This 2nd frag is instant cast so casting it then rolling shoots both at once effectively.
It’s way better if you use crystal weapons
Crystal weapon got nerfed a lot and we're pushed for bar space and stam management. Cyrtsal weapon does similar tool tip but you can get the double proc like frags which melts people
Race ?
Mentioned at start about 1m in. Dark elf, breton or high elf work best. Imperial also good so is argoninan.
bruh
It's a lot of fun man!
on god
