To deal a huge amount of damage, you need high levels of Lightning and Chain Lightning Skills. The downside of Light Sorcs is that to be really efficient, you will need to heavily invest in gear. Chain Lightning deals up to 12k damage for each lightning, and you can cast up to 12-14 lightning at once. Lightning sorcs are optimal Boss farmers, but what they really excel at is ripping through Cows and big mobs of monsters. In addition, you can use the lightning skill Thunderstorm to deliver some consistent, additional Lightning Damage (Which is incredibly annoying for enemy players as there is no way to avoid being hit by your Lightning). When playing against players, your Orbs will have a good chance of hitting enemies no matter where they are, while teleporting allows you to get away from their attacks. Not only are they good for PvM, but one of the most popular choices for PvP too. If you choose this build, you will surely be satisfied with the speed and efficiency of getting to Bosses and killing them. This makes Orb Sorcs a bit more versatile than Blizzard ones. The upside of using the skill is that it has a much lower casting cooldown, so you will be able to cast Frozen Orbs a lot more frequently. Frozen Orb also deals a huge amount of single target damage, and very decent area damage, but not as much as Blizzard. Orb Sorcs are very similar to Blizz sorcs, since they are too cold damage based builds. Still, if you are not satisfied with your defensive capabilities, you should use +life and +resistance charms. In addition, by having +1 Cold Skill charms in your inventory, you boost your Shiver Armor skill, which provides you additional defense. As they deliver cold damage, they slow their target, making them attack less frequently. The high single target and high area damage makes Blizz sorcs a great choice for both Boss farming and Cow level/Chaos Sanctuary/Baal farming.Ĭold Sorcs have the best survivability as well, for two reasons. With a single cast, you will be able to kill a big pack of monsters. While Blizzard deals a huge amount of damage, it does so on a wide area. This makes it the perfect attacking skill for a start of a ladder season. Unlike other skills, Blizzard’s damage does not scale exponentially with additional skill points, meaning it already delivers a huge amount of damage at level 20. The Blizzard Sorceress is probably the most popular sorc build, probably with good reason. To learn more about the builds, click on the build names to see their detailed guides. As for the immune monsters, you can rely on your mercenary to kill them, or use another type of elemental damage (a hybrid build).Ī notable mention is that getting used to playing sorcs has a mild learning curve, but even beginner players can get used to it fairly fast. Unfortunately the class is famous for being vulnerable, so you should only play it on Hardcore if you have a decent team which can boost your survivability. The downside of sorceress builds is their survivability and the immune monsters in the game.
As good gear is not available at a ladder season start, it’s problematic for other classes to play effectively. Almost every other build requires heavy investment in gearing in order to be effective farmers. The other great benefit of sorcs is that their elemental skills deliver a huge amount of damage even in budget/ladder starter gear. Sorcs also have the fastest teleport casting frame rates, making them able to cast teleport more frequently than any other build. They have access to the teleport skill, which makes them capable of moving several times faster than any other class (unless they wear an enigma runeword and use teleport as well). Sorceresses are clearly the best ladder starter builds for several reasons.
