    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).

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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


    And for all doubters of my rockstar status:

    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

    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
