The Best Build For Sorcerer

**Mr.Reco** · 06-21-2013, 12:43 PM

Hello Everyone!

It's Sibos,

I am gonna share the best build for sorcerer with you guys.

Active Skills:

1. Gale 4/5 - the best skill - without Speed Wind
2. Fire 4/5 - without Scrotch
3. Time Shift 4/5 - without Dodge
4. Your choose - heal or shield

Pure INT build.

Passive:

Crit 5/5
INT 5/5
Damage 5/5

Cheers!

I have the same build but instead of 5/5 Damage I choose 5/5 Strength.

Also I put 2/5 in Heal, one for basic and mana heal upgrade.

**Mr.Reco** · 06-21-2013, 12:54 PM

Yes 2/5 heal is nice choose, cause will needs heals when doing elite bosses.

Cheers!

Pots heal, with no cooldown. Heal only good if you PvP (and even then not really needed).

5 Dex would be better than 5 crit, gives 125 more hp and a consistent 1.6 damage increase (before bonus damage% is added on).

Since heal and shield aren't really need if you know how to drink pots, ice is a better option. Good damage, some DoT, and chance (charged) at AoE.

I'm not a fan of Gale, but some people are so...

I originally had 5/5 DEX but switched to 5/5 STR instead for the bigger HP boost. 1.6 dmg (percent?) or just dmg?

You are wrong here, the most sorcerer has got this skill now, cause it's insane with new update about this skill for leveling together with time shift and fireball.

Really, that's why I haven't seen a single sorc using Gale in PvE or PvP? I've only seen two using it, and they were just playing with it in our GH.

Same damage as fireball, but hits less targets and no DoT (so, less damage). Small speed boost (charged) or dash backwards (limited use, more irritating than anything IMO) for an extra point. AoE if you spend a second point, but still hits less targets than fireball and with scatter effect (unless you have perfect placement). Nice little armor boost (for 4 seconds), but has a 5.5 sec cool down (which means even less damage than fireball which has a 4 sec CD) and requires it charged (so add 2 more secs to the CD and remove 2s of weapon damage).

Or compare to ice... ice has more damage, DoT upgrade, freeze/slow targets and 3 sec CD.

Obviously not going to take out Time, the primary crowd control ability of sorcs.

So that leaves lightning, which is single target damage but far higher and only takes 2 points to do well (3 if you want to waste a point on crit chance).

What is insane about it again? Longer CD, less damage, most abilities require charge.

Just wanna to ask one question : Did you test Gale in last week after new update about this skill?

**Valsacar** · 06-22-2013, 01:39 AM

Yes, I tested both gale and curse after the changes. Then went back to fire/ice/light/time because the upgrades still did not make them viable alternatives.

**Mr.Reco** · 06-22-2013, 01:49 AM

I prefer Gale, cause the combination with time shift + fireball is really nice. I could solo kraag lv4 easily and you can leveling faster with this combination, its just my opinion

Edit: What lvl is your sorcerer and what is your PvE and CTF kills/deaths ?

**Valsacar** · 06-22-2013, 02:13 AM

LvL 31.

85554/2515

I don't like CTF, but TDM I do like so that's at 421/203 atm.

Nice, could you tell exactly your passive and active skills and your build/gears - just wanna to test out something?

**Valsacar** · 06-22-2013, 02:27 AM

Passives are 5, 5, 5 int, dex, dmg

fire (1-4), light (just fist), ice (1-3), Time (all).

Gear, mythic.

**killbforkilldorshiech** · 06-22-2013, 02:33 AM

I tested my skills build with your skills builds at Watchers Tomb lv1.

Results:

Your skills build with:

I am with lv14 warriror together - I could clean watchers tomb lv1 in 3m and 31 seconds ( used so much HP pots )

My skills build with:

I am alone, you will not believe me - I could clean watchers tomb lv1 in 2m 30 seconds ( used so less pots )

PS: I used same pet and same gears on both runs at Watchers Tombs and that's results .

Cheers!

That's not even close to an accurate test, a lvl 14 warrior is adding no damage but increasing the strength of all the mobs.

**Valsacar** · 06-22-2013, 03:05 AM

I just did it, 1 min, 9s and used less than 10 pots.

1m with lv31 sorcerer . I did with my skills build lv14 sorcerer watchers tomb in 2m 30 seconds. So I mean your build with takes more time at lv14 rather my build. I did alone too with your skills build and it was even more than 3m 30 seconds.
But I don't say your build is bad, Its just takes more time to kill mobs around and needs more pots.

Cheers!
