This set is useless for dueling magsorcs, bw warned. Shields dont get crit, proccing your boost against a warding sorc will be quite difficult.

for example if cast force pulse it is direct damage and if cast a dot it is not direct damage. But this set is bis for Magicka NB because twisting path is coded like direct damage.
