Welcome to Nirnstorm.com‘s Stamina Sorcerer ( Stamsorc ) PvP Build for the Blackwood patch – “Crystallized Swing“.
This build was made and written by StaticWave – more information about the author at the bottom of the page.
The Crystallized Swing build utilizes several weapon damage boosting sets to amplify both damage and healing power. This allows us to deal serious burst damage on our opponents, while also being hard to kill.
If you’re looking for a build that can one-shot most players and kill tankier ones, while also being very tanky with high healing power, then you are in the right place!
The optimal race for this build is Imperial as it gives 6% cost reduction to all core combat abilities and regular abilities (including Ultimates). This allows us to stay in heavy armor without suffering too much cost increase, as well as going Vampire Stage 3 to get even more mitigation. Other alternatives such as Woodelf, Orc, or Nord are also good.
The optimal Mundus for this build is The Lover as it increases our penetration, allowing us to deal more damage to players with higher resistances. Other alternatives also work, such as Serpent, Warrior, or Lady.
Vampirism Stage 3 is the best choice for this build because it synergizes with Imperial’s cost reduction. However, it is also possible to play as a Mortal.
Unlock only Slayer, Banish the Wicked and Skilled Tracker.

Defending
Escapist’s Poison
Sturdy StaminaBalorgh – We are using 1-piece Balorgh for the extra weapon damage. However other 1-piece monster sets can work as well.
Ravager – Ravager is one of the highest Weapon Damage boosting sets in the game, giving us 584 Weapon Damage when fully procced. Due to its inconvenient proc condition, most people do not bother using it in PvP. However, the set synergizes extremely well with Razor Caltrops, guaranteeing at least 50% uptime for 4x stacks, and 100% for regular stacks. It also boosts our max Health, which is crucial for survival in this one-shot meta.
Clever Alchemist – This is one of the best back-bar-able Weapon Damage boosting set in the game. It gives us 675 Weapon Damage when procced and 2 lines of max Health. These stats are very attractive and allow us to survive incoming burst damage, while giving a tremendous boost in Weapon Damage for our burst combos.
Malacath – Despite the nerf, Malacath is still mandatory on a Stamina Sorcerer because the class lacks critical damage & critical chance passives. You would have to seriously invest into critical chance & critical damage to outperform Malacath, which makes you very squishy in a real fight. Therefore, it is better to use Malacath for consistent damage while being as tanky as possible.
If you do not have Malacath though, then simply use a 2nd piece of Balorgh for the extra Weapon Damage and Penetration.
Vateshran’s Perfected Two Handed – This is arguably one of the best set you can use on a Stamina Sorcerer because it synergizes extremely well with our main burst ability – Crystal Weapon. Moreover, we get a boost to Weapon Damage which increases our healing on both bars.
If you do not have this set, then simply use an Agility Two Handed Maul for the extra Stamina.
Medium & Heavy Armor – We are in 6 heavy & 1 medium because we are trying to benefit from heavy armor passives which give us Health, Magicka recovery, resistances, and healing received. The Heavy Armor Bonus also makes us tankier against stamina players. The extra Health and resistances allow us to use 2 damage sets and benefit from better survivability.
Well Fitted & Reinforced – We are in 6 well fitted & 1 reinforced because roll dodging is still the best form of damage mitigation vs single target damage. The nerf to critical damage mitigation forces us to seriously invest into it if we want to mitigate critical damage, so well fitted is the more attractive option. We use reinforced on the chest as it gives the most resistances and can often push us to the next 660 armor threshold, giving us that extra 1% damage mitigation.
We use Lava Foot Soup-And-Saltrice to get as much Stamina Recovery as possible, while retaining Max Health from Imperial & Heavy Armor passives, as well as allocating attribute points into HP. Artaeum Take Away Broth is a good alternative as well if you want more max HP.
Our magicka sustain is plentiful in Heavy Armor, so we are using Physical Resistance Potions (Columbine, Mountain Flower, Beetle Scuttle) to boost our survivability against stamina players.
We can also use Immovable Potions (Columbine, Mountain Flower, Wormwood) to give us CC immunity when performing our burst combos.
We use Escapist Poisons because it gives us CC immunity and immobilizes our opponent when procced. This allows us to stay on the offense for longer and helps with landing our abilities.
