15 Best Magicka Sorcerer Sets In ESO
Welcome to our Written Guide on the Best Sets For Magicka Sorcerer In The Elder Scrolls Online! In this article we will be discussing Sets that Synergize the BEST with the Magicka Sorcerer class, whether it be for DPS Builds, Solo Builds, PVE or PVP, there’s something on this list for every build!
Links will be provided for each set if you want to know more about it as well as see example builds that use that same set. Let’s get started!
15 - Necropotence
The Necropotence Set is a fantastic option for Magicka Sorcerers as this class often relies on Pets, and the 5 piece bonus here provides lots of Max Magicka for players who have a Pet active. The fact that this set comes from a base game overland zone also makes it easy to farm, especially for lower level players.
Necropotence
Set bonus
(2 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Magicka
(3 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Magicka
(4 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Magicka
(5 items) While you have a pet active, your Maximum Magicka is increased by 3132.
14 - Crafty Alfiq
The Crafty Alfiq Set provides another option for Maximum Magicka focused Sorcerers, but does NOT require a Pet to be active. So if you prefer to keep pets to a minimum but still want a lot of Magicka to play around with, definitely check out this set.

13 - Combat Physician
The Combat Physician Set is a nice option for Magicka Sorcerer Healers or Solo Builds that want to focus on Damage Shields, as critically healing yourself or an ally will provide an additional Shield for free once every 6 seconds per target.

12 - Netch’s Touch
The Netch’s Touch Set is a unique option that buffs all of your Shock Damage abilities by 400 Spell Damage. This set works especially well on the Magicka Sorcerer since so many of their abilities deal Shock Damage to targets.

9 - Burning Spellweave
Burning Spellweave is a Dungeon Set provides a lot of Spell Damage for Magicka Sorcerers fairly consistently though you will need a solid source of Fire damage to proc it. Using an Inferno Staff is usually the easiest source of Fire Damage accessible to Magicka Sorcerer.

8 - Infallible Mage
Infallible Mage is a Trials Set with a focus on Heavy Attack gameplay. The Magicka Sorcerer actually does very well with the Heavy Attack playstyle so I would recommend picking up this set if that’s the kind of build you are interested in.

(3 items) Gain Minor Slayer at all times, increasing your damage done to Dungeon, Trial, and Arena Monsters by 5%.

7 - New Moon Acolyte
New Moon Acolyte is a Crafted Set that boosts many strong offensive bonuses for the Magicka Sorcerer class including Critical Chance, Offensive Penetration and plenty of Spell Damage. While this set also has a negative bonus of 5 percent increased cost of abilities, this is easily offset by the Sorcerer’s cost reduction passive.
New Moon Acolyte

5 - Medusa
Medusa is the only Heavy Armor Set on our list, but that’s for good reason. The bonuses here are fantastic! Lots of Critical Chance plus you also get the Minor Force buff for free! Sorcerers generally do best with Light Armor, so you’ll want to try to pick up Jewelry Pieces (transmute them to a better trait) as well as a staff.
Medusa

(4 items) Adds 833 Spell Critical

4 - False God’s Devotion
The False God’s Devotion Set can be obtained through the Sunspire Trial and is a great option for all Magicka Sorcerer builds due to it’s increased damage against Monsters (Minor Slayer) as well as a massive 8 percent cost reduction for Magicka Abilities. This set will be great for any situation from Solo Content, to Trials, Dungeons or Arenas.
False God’s Devotion

3 - Mantle Of Siroria
Mantle Of Siroria is another Trials set for ESO. This one offers an amazing amount of Spell Damage, one of the highest in the game! To obtain maximum damage you do need to remain relatively stationary which is not ideal in all fights, but this set is still definitely worth picking up.

1 - Bahsei’s Mania
The Bahsei’s Mania Set has the potential to be the most damaging Magicka Sorcerer Set in the game, though there is a catch. This set grants you more damage based on having LESS Magicka left in reserve. So the lower your Magicka Pool the more damage you will do! If you can manage this mini-game without running out sustain then you will be rewarded!

(3 items) Gain Minor Slayer at all times, increasing your damage done to Dungeon, Trial, and Arena Monsters by 5%.
