The PERFECT STORM is a fantastic option for completing Solo content in The Elder Scrolls Online including Overland zones, Solo Arenas, and even some solo Group Dungeons! This build combines amazing speed, powerful damage and easy sustain and healing tools that make it a GREAT option for beginner and veteran players alike!
Primary Sets
The first set on this build is purely focused on buffing our damage – Order’s Wrath. This set provides amazing overall stats AND is crafted, so it’s also fairly easy to get!
Next, the Wretched Vitality set is all about sustain! This set is also crafted and will supply over 600 Magicka and Stamina recovery when fully buffed!
Next, the Stormfist monster set is utilized here for a big damage boost as well as some extra Stamina recovery – perfect for a Stamina Sorcerer!
Several Mythic Items can be used on this build, but the strongest option for most Solo Content is the Ring Of The Pale Order.
Finally, Armor Of The Trainee can also be used for extra Health which is great, especially if playing solo.

Alternative Sets
If you find yourself needing more protection in difficult content such as Solo Arenas then I highly recommend the Iceheart monster set over Stormfist – this provides another automatic shield and extra critical chance!
Alternately you may want even more damage! If that’s the case then any backbar proc set can easily fit on this build. One of the best in terms of damage is Pillar Of Nirn.
