	Hey, I haven't really been playing since about two weeks after FoT was released. So I am a bit behind on everything. Are sorcs worthwhile? It was my endgame TR goal for one of my characters and they are nearing the end of their last life. So, just curious what the lowdown on sorcs is.

	my sorc raised his spwr about 120+ since the ep, and imo sorcs got a huge damage increase. i lost wand and scroll mastery which sucks, but over all sorcs are in tip top shape.

	Assuming shiradi. Shiradi sorcs are perfectly OK. I think wiz is a litle better, but I'm biased - wiz can have everything out of feats/saves/evasion/hp/mana/dodge/spells/etc but sorcs have to cut something. Sorc you do get wings and knockdown immune though. You want to go 18sorc/2fvs fire/air, possibly even 16/2/2pal.

I'm a draconic incarnation sorc (because magic missile/force missile/chain missile spam is bashing your head against the wall boring imo) and I'm actually doing better than ever in EEs, and I never had troubles participating in ee whilst in DI. just my 2cp

	Why do you want to split and lose caster levels?

Alright, he's only on his second life and L21 at the moment, but right now I feel like if I'd wanted to nickle-and-dime shit to death I'd have played a goddam pure Arti. I'm very seriously thinking about using a +20 LR heart and turning a capped toon into a pure DI Sorc just to compare, although I wonder about an air savant's ability to overcome the crazy reflex saves and evasion that all the trash mobs seem to have now

Sorcs probably get slightly higher DPS on bosses mainly due to fire procs and faster casts I think, but I haven't really run numbers. It would be interesting to see. I do agree that wizzies are a lot more attractive relatively speaking vs. sorcs compared to before.

I got a human DI with all the bells n whistles and it's way more fun to play than a Shiradi. Damage is about the same but you don't want to punch the screen after 2 dungeons. Water with Acid secondary because I'm old school and because single target DPS is better. Immune to cometfalls, poison damage, paralyzation. Also 59 necro DC on it for shits n giggles, not perfect but good enough to land with a Drain on Stormhorn EEs.

	Draconics are just not mana efficient enough for me... if you enjoy the flavor of mana elixirs, go for it.

In a group of 2+ I haven't had any need to use elixirs.

For the current EE content, my guildies that are running sorcs are enjoying them just fine. I'm running Ysharan as Air with cold backup, but I haven't done a whole lot with him due to working on my tempest ranger/fighter/paladin thing. Dark's been running as Air with fire backup.

Also, I DO miss DC casting. :/ Sadly for myself I have recently not found enough time to really try a character for soloing more EEs (soloed one or two pre EP ... in shiradi ... but haven't tried since).....or really for quickly zerging stuffs school has been busy. Although I probably should just go ahead and try one, but I'm feeling no motivation to play epics but don't wanna TR my sorc and get PLs since I'm satisfied with where that toon is at right now.....just running PLs on my main and maybe on my soon to be artie or some other repeater build toon......
