Time for better damage when hold

[Energizeric]

Frost is the highest damage skill. It does AoE when charged, and has large DoT. I've tried Time and Gale also, and Frost is better. Lightning is good, but it's not AoE, and is only good for bosses (single target).

[unknownkj]

Drop gale and get ice. Good damage and aoe

[Deadroth]

Ok i pick Frost, Fire, Shield, Heal and passive INT...

Thank to U guys for help me with skill chose :-)

Booyah!

P.S lightning has also 25proc aoe when charged... But i pick frost =)

[Energizeric]

Frost is 100% AoE when charged.

firebal , heal , time , gale --> That's exactly my build too
About choice between 'time, gale or lightning" i suggest time with "frezzee time". Not talking about damage but about the number enemy time can trap is unlimited (cast time & lure enemy walk into then you can stay in safe place & spam other skill)

Hey!


KK... I didn't want to make new thread ...

I have next problem ...

Skill upgrades...

I know i should have: 5%DMG & +25INT <- 10 points from 30 (next expansion :P)

So i have 20 points now

I put: 5/5 Fireball & 5/5 Frost & 4/5 Shield (without knockdown) ... <- (14 points + 10 points) 24 points from 30


The last skill i wanna have is Lifegiver...

So there is a problem... Do the upgrades are useful:

- Increase mana regeneration
- Increase health regeneration

???

I know i must to have upgrade "refilling mana"


So i need to:

- do Lifegiver 2/5 and then go 4 points through +20STR

or

- do Lifegiver 4/5 and then go 2 points through +10STR

Please help

Boya!

I'm a full PvE sorcerer and I got the following build:

Fireball 4/5 (No Scorch)
Frost 4/5 (No Arctic Shatter)
Timeshift 5/5
Lifegiver 3/5 (No Regrowth/Recharge Mana)
Passive INT 5/5
Passive Damage 4/5

Never felt the need to use shield, imo it's more of a PvP skill same as Lightning.

Hope that helps.

[Excuses]

No need to put more points on lifegiver other than mana recharge. Works just fine.

And if you go pve more time is better than ice. But for pvp ice is much better.

[maillard]

My build is:

Fireball 4/5
Frost 4/5
Time shift 4/5
Shield 3/5

5/5 INT & 5/5 Dex

Just my opinion but if you play elite maps, I think Frost, Time shift & Fireball are all musts. I put 5/5 on dex to get some extra damage/dps & health.

[drgrimmy]

Just get 2/5 life. The total of 100 health and 50 mana you get over 10 seconds with the other upgrades
means nothing when you are level 26.

[JaytB]

Personally, I think both lifegiver and shield are a waste of skill slots for 'fast' elite runs. You'd be better off putting those points in a dmg skill.

I'd go for fire, ice, light, time as this gives you the highest dmg output possible for a sorcerer (as calculated with CosmoxKramer's dmg calculator). Arguably Gale seems attractive for the crowd control properties, but it needs to be charged for AoE dmg, has a fairly long cooldown compared to most dmg oriented skills and its crowd control properties aren't all that hot.

At least that's my opinion about it

[Meketrefe PW]

I'd feel very unsafe with that build JaytB lol, not really a fan of pot spamming... and also I like restoring my party's MP and saving lives with Heal, not sure how much faster will Elite runs go with that full damage build, but don't think it's worth sacrificing your healing skill which allows you to solo other maps without the need of potting.

I can see your point.

Maybe it's just the people I run with. There isn't a single (non-pvp) mage that I run with who cares about their pots or who uses heal or shield. The only thing they care for is finishing an elite run as quick as possible. Survivability hasn't been an issue with my sorcerer without heal or shield but I do mostly run in teams where people know what they're doing.

As said, I do understand your reasoning, especially if you solo elite maps a lot, but I'm still convinced heal and/or shield are worthless in a decent party

[Deadroth]

KK...

Thanks for that tips

But it will hurt my survival ability with giant hammer of death ... LOL

Im still a little blueberrie... I dont forget about it...

I need the Ultimate build... I just need to know that heal "increase mana and heal regen" upgrade is good...

If Ya wanna ask for somethin speak freeeeeely

Dead :P

P.S. >>

I will go:

Fire (DMG, stun, AOE).................. 5/5
Ice (Controll, Freeze, AOE, DMG).... 5/5

Heal ......................................... 3/5 (heal regen, mana refill,)
Shield (Survival MUST).................. 4/5 (without knockdown)

INT 5/5
DMG 3/5

So thank U all ill go for 3/5 heal

... I know u may think im a noob in building but i can't imaginate the OFFENSE mage granted AGRO from Elite BloodHammer... Thats quick death... But with shield & Heal he may survive

What do U all think about this

POST IT HERE

[ishyrionek]

Fire 5, ice 4, shield 4, heal 2, int 5, dex 5, after up dmg 5

[hashhashin]

heal only gives teammates full mana and health. you get only about 30%.

fire/ice/light/time
int/dmg

*ps. you need to get tier 1 armor, 25k for seal effigy security26, 150k for wrappings of security. You got it good/cheap as mage. If they know you've got fire/ice/light/time they will want you in party guaranteed
