Old school nuker Sorc

Had a necro version but 62 DC just doesn't feel useful enough in Stormhorns. Enchant, however, has proven much more reliable. Currently on a 3rd eTR for energy crits, gonna do 3 more for colors and then see if I'll want to bother with divine and martial spheres.

If anyone's interested I can screenshot the spells and enhancements when I get home. Enchancements are: 41 Water Savant, 31 Earth Savant, 8 Human. Water elemental form because. DI acid spec since undead and ice giants/elementals are immune to cold, also BDB does nicer ticks that way.

Note that this is a build that I like to play. It's not gonna be posted on teh motherforums and never gonna be a FotM. If you have questions, ask away.

Thanks for this post. I was reading over the MB and wondering why all of the sorcs were evo based, it makes more sense to me to go Ench and mass hold everything. The CD on Roar and FBA is massive.

For someone using air as primary, how does twisting soundburst sound?

T2 slot, 6 sec duration, 7 sec cooldown, 66 DC that is fort based would be a waste of twist IMHO.

MHM is wil based save, lasts a fuckton and can be landed more reliably.

I dunno if you're WF or fleshy and what twists you use but i'm sure you can find more useful things you can twist in.

Sense Weakness(FotW)/Enchantment Specialist(Mag), Cocoon(PA), Endless Faith (EA) are the one I use while in DI, first two depending if I need the extra boost to my enchant DCs or not.

If or when I unlock the 4th twist the setup would be those 4.

Comment about twists included a spell for comparison and that confused me for like 10 sec.

And here I was hoping it would not let you sleep at night.

But yeah, I value 10% extra SP from EA way over a 6 sec duration cc spell. I could see it being useful on a divine but def not on an arcane.

Shh. Don't let Steiner see that. He'll start claiming that it's OP and be clamouring for nerfs again.

His head would explode!

Imagine that - spells that can work synergystically. He'd probably be campaigning for "no more spells other than spells that cause damage."

Nice build.

I am on my way to a similar build but with an Acid/Force focus with a little Water. But I still got a couple past lives to do for completionist.

Dont know,  but 62 dc doesnt cut it for ee in horns.
Sburst is rly good to get casters since they have massive will save.
I had like 67 dc for my enchant and couldnt get casters and sometimes blackfuckingguards.
Completionist, litany 6 stick all enchant feats, bard feat etc etc.
Mental toughnes seems like a freaking waste, so does sp from exalted twist.
Why? We got more then enough sp pots from cards.
Rather couple dcs more then crit chance.
And why not air savant? Knock immunity and wings are best selfedefense you can get as pure fleshie sorc. Those kudwhateverhas from new stuff in shadow raid.
Cheers

Didn't update DC values after update, 65 now. Hypno before mass for extra 3. Could put a bard PL for one more but don't see why currently.

I don't like air spells, too much DC dependent and not good for single target DPS when you have that pesky archer/caster/assassin that you absolutely have to kill right the fuck now. Polar ray + BDB deliver.
Also, water elemental form looks way better than air  Kiss

Besides, if you need knockdown immunity and wings for kuldjarghs you're doing it worng.

Try to fit in crushing despair, can use a macro cast command to cast hypno/crushing as both debuffs stack.
I totaly agree that air ele looks horrible.
Tho immunity to knockdown is rly handy and wings are.. Well very useful when you get into those o cr.. situations.
For assasins and archers i usualy "used" debuff combo mass hold followed by a chain light and ball light but usualy just chain light was enough.
Tho water ele is nice as well, its just im to used to easybutton wings/immunity combo.

Comes down to personal preference id say

what i do is use a tool to program several key i never press on keyboard on a mouse button.
For example in cetus life, haste boost on num pad 1, forge thingy num pad 2, dmight 3, surge 4.
Find correct timing, like 70 miliseconds between presses and bind to mouse key 4.
So i press that mouse button and it does full boosts.

Did same thing in sorc life for hypno crush despair.
Overall rly useful for many multiclick builds
