Stamina Sorcerer Solo


Last updated: Update 45 - 9th April 2025

This build is capable of soloing every Veteran dungeon that doesn’t have a specific mechanic that requires multiple people. It’s also capable of soloing most Hard Mode dungeons, and with some adjustments even the more difficult ones.

In this guide I’ll be regularly using the terms Regular and Difficult. Regular refers to content that is intended to be solo-ed (such as Maelstrom Arena or Vateshran Arena) and to any overland content such as World Bosses, Dolmens, Dragons, Volcanic Vents, Harrowstorms, Mirrormoor Incursions, etc. Majority of dungeon fights will also fall under that category. Difficult refers to extremely difficult dungeon fights.

Both 5-piece sets are replaceable. If you want to switch to a situational set which provides Minor Slayer then it usually makes more sense to replace Ansuul’s TormentAnsuul’s Torment. Otherwise it's usually better to replace Beacon of OblivionBeacon of Oblivion. Another aspect to consider is that AnsuulAnsuul provides a penetration line and is focused entirely on damage, while BeaconBeacon provides a decent amount of survivability.

For example, a default setup for trash packs would replace Ansuul's TormentAnsuul's Torment with Sul-Xan’s TormentSul-Xan’s Torment

ADDITIONAL INFO:


RACE

When it comes to solo PvE, you need both damage and survivability so pretty much all races have useful racials.

The best race for dealing damage is Khajiit. While the Critical Damage from Feline AmbushFeline Ambush can sometimes be wasted due to Critical Damage being capped at 125%, it will never happen in solo content, because there will be no tanks or healers providing you with the Major Force buff.

The best race for survivability is Nord. The RuggedRugged racial will provide around 6% damage mitigation.


MUNDUS

For overland content you should use The ThiefThe Thief Mundus, which increases your Critical Chance.

For instanced content you should use The LoverThe Lover Mundus, which increases your Penetration.

For extremely difficult dungeons you should consider switching to The LadyThe Lady Mundus, which increases your Armor.


ATTRIBUTES

HEALTH

0

STAMINA

64

MAGICKA

0

For most content you should put all 64 points into Stamina. For difficult content you should devote as many attribute points as necessary to Health - for some content you’ll be able to get away with 32 Health 32 Stamina, for the extremely difficult stuff you’ll need 64 Health.


FOOD

  • Braised Rabbit with Spring VegetablesBraised Rabbit with Spring Vegetables - Max Health, Max Stamina. Use it for most of regular content
  • Artaeum Takeaway BrothArtaeum Takeaway Broth - Max Health, Max Stamina, Stamina Recovery. Use it if you need a bit more Stamina Recovery in fights which require more blocking or dodge rolling, or if you can't sustain for any other reason. Dubious Camoran ThroneDubious Camoran Throne is a cheaper alternative
  • Orzorga's Tripe Trifle PocketOrzorga's Tripe Trifle Pocket - Max Health, Stamina Recovery. Use it if you need a lot more Stamina Recovery in fights which require more blocking or dodge rolling, or if you can't sustain for any other reason
  • Orzorga's Smoked Bear HaunchOrzorga's Smoked Bear Haunch - Max Health, Stamina Recovery, Magicka Recovery. Use it in fights which require more blocking or dodge rolling, but also require you to spam Hardened WardHardened Ward

POTIONS

Tri-Stat Potion

Most of the time you should use Tri-Stat potions (Restore Health, Restore Stamina, Restore Magicka). They'll greatly improve your sustain. You can craft them by combining ColumbineColumbine, BuglossBugloss and Mountain's FlowerMountain's Flower.

Heroism Potion

There are better potions but they're extremely expensive. Heroism potions (Heroism, Restore Stamina, Restore Magicka) can provide a 100% uptime on Minor Heroism buff which generates ultimate, but they're extremely expensive because they're crafted by combining Dragon RheumDragon Rheum, Dragon's BloodDragon's Blood and ColumbineColumbine.

Armor Potion

In situations where you need more damage mitigation and you can spare some sustain, you can instead use the Armor potions, which will increase your armor by 5280. You can craft them by combining BuglossBugloss, Mountain's FlowerMountain's Flower and Mudcrab ChitinMudcrab Chitin.
