Introduction
The Sorcerer is one of the four original classes introduced in The Elder Scrolls Online at launch. The Sorc has been known as one of the original DPS classes of the game. Stamina Sorcs take advantage of mobility and high damage along with finding opportunity to pull off clutch kills in PvP. A lot of players will tell you playing a Sorcerer in PvP is their favorite way to play the game. So without further ado here is our ESO Stamina Sorcerer PvP Build.
Overview
Race: Khajiit (best choice) or Imperial and Orc (also are great choices)

Attributes: 0 Magicka, 15 Health, 49 Stamina

Skills
Front Bar
Front Bar: Crystal Fragments, Rending Slashes, Streak, Quick Cloak, Critical Surge, Dawnbreaker of Smiting
Back Bar
Back Bar: Elemental Susceptibility, Haunting Curse, Resolving Vigor, Dark Deal, Hurricane, Temporal Guard
Rotation
Buff Rotation: The buff rotation is very simple. The only buffs outside the damage rotation are Hurricane and Critical Surge.
Damage Rotation: The damage rotation as follows: Start by debuffing your target with Elemental Susceptibility. Then cast Haunting Curse on them. The next skill to keep up is Quick Cloak. The most important is Rending Slashes, keep this skill on as many targets as possible. Use Streak to stun your target and cast Crystal Fragments whenever it procs. Try to time Dawnbreaker of Smiting with a Streak/Crystal Fragments combo.
Healing and Escape: If you need to reset the fight the ultimate Temporal Guard will do that. Also using Streak to gain distance to heal with Dark Deal and Resolving Vigor can help a lot.
