The Magicka Sorcerer class in The Elder Scrolls Online is an excellent choice for newer players, or those who wish to have a straightforward, pleasant experience in the game. The class utilizes shields, pets, and amazing self-heals; it’s as easy to deal a lot of damage as it is to stay alive for a long time. This post contains a couple of hybridized setups: one for parsing, two for standard PvE group content, one for soloing, and one for beginners.
