Enchantment Card: DMG+PEN

Set Bonus:

DMG +12%

CRIT DMG to Bosses +40%

Weapon Spec: Left Path (Fiendish Envoy), Dark Path

Why?

Because Dark Element is the best for Sorcerer.Main Skills of Sorcerer are Dark Element on a low Cooldown with high amplifiers.

Souldraw-skillicon.png Soul Draw is Dark Element and one of the best lifesteal skill( Absorb 10% of DMG dealt to recover your HP)

Increasing +12% to Soul Draw

Target affected by Shadow Bolt will take 20% increased DMG by Dark Skills

Not to Forget(From Envoy)

+

(2x Because the nodes Exist each 2 times = DMG of Shadow Bolt +20%, DMG of Soul Draw +10%)

The DMG Formular >.>

Damage =[ Damage * (100% - "Defense %") * (100% - "Reduction %" + "Damage to %") * ( 100% - "Damage Taken From %") * (100% + "Main Hand DMG%") * (100% + "Skill DMG %") * ( 100% - "Elemental Reduction %" + "Skill Ele Damage % Increase" + "Weapon Element (+20%)") * ( 100% + "Damage To Certain Element %") *(100% +Pen% - Pen Shield%)]

And from Weapon Spec

Void Paradox" DMG +30%Dark DMG Burst

Lets not forget

Fiend Totem is a Totem dealing direct DMG and able to apply/proc all stuff.

Summons a Fiend Totem that continually attacks surrounding enemies.

Target's DMG dealt -5%, and Move SPD -5%. Stacks up to 3 times.

8.0 sec

Generates 15 Voidal Energies.

*Right now that skill is Violent.In the future in will be Dark Element aswell.
The Points you put into your Allocate Mastery

CRT DMG CAP for Sorcerer is 300%.
15 % Points into Move Speed
30 % Points into DMG
20 % Points into "Increase DMG to Dark target"

Rest points into what ever you want.For more DPS possible into "Increase DMG to X target"

*Overall you will encounter more dark, fire, ice and lightning bosses.

Future dungeons will have bosses with high EVA.Consider Accuracy.

Skill Rotation

Usual future proof Skill Rotation(When Fiend Totem becomes Dark Element it will be superior):

+Shadowbolt-skillicon.png+ +Razorwind-skillicon.png+Shadowbolt-skillicon.png+Souldraw-skillicon.png++Shadowbolt-skillicon.png+Souldraw-skillicon.png(...)Repeat

In future class balance updates Fiend Totem will be Dark Element(Right now it is Violent )

Use Souldraw-skillicon.png and Shadowbolt-skillicon.png from Voidparadox-skillicon.png Void Paradox if they are aviable because "Void Paroxysm" DMG +30%.

To use Void Paradox you have to generate Void Energy by casting skills that generate it.

You can check the generated Void Energy of every skill here

http://www.aurakingdom-db.com/class/sorcerer

The skills casted from Void Paradox have a faster casting animation.

Dont Forget to use Rejuvenation Mantra if needed to remove debuff and gain the Cursed Seal status(Extra DPS).

Keep in mind some debuffs cant be removed

Remove 1 negative stat effect

Recover XXX HP every second

Gain the Cursed Seal effect while using a Grimoire. Additional XXX DMG per sec while attacking.

12.0 secs

Generate 5 Void Energy

Use Sleep Totem to cancel red carpets(AOE Attacks) from bosses.Dont work on all bosses

You can use Shadow Assault to Stun but it will consume Chakra you need for Crippling Wind.

You appear behind the enemy and perform a backstab.

Costs 1 Chakra

When you cast this skill, your Shadow Warrior will cast Shadow Entanglement, stunning your target and nearby enemies for 3 sec.

One cool trick:

You can Jump Cast Shadow Bolt Shadowbolt-skillicon.png and before you land Soul Draw Souldraw-skillicon.png + doing AutoAttacks.

Possible Debuff you can apply(Void Paradox Included)
33% DMG Taken on Target

DMG -15%

* You can aswell skip the DOTs and do direct DMG.You do more dmg with the Direct DMG path.Use + anyway.

Usefull Stuff to do with bard Sub:

3x Ballad(The DMG one) your party members before bosses.Giving the targets at 3 Stacks 12% more detailed DMG.

Use Song of Winds (Conjunction of Song of Winds) to give your party members 9% MoveSpeed.

Envoy Paths for Sorcerer/Bard:

http://bit.ly/2orCbU2
Envoy for all 3 Time Frames

http://bit.ly/2oukTpb

Suboptimal Sub Weapons:

(1)Reaper

Pros: Time Frame.Minions.

Cons: Low DPS Sub

Envoy: http://bit.ly/2sZs1Qf

(2)Wizard

Pros: Time Frame.Look Cute.

Cons: Low DPS Sub

Envoy: http://bit.ly/2sVlV3f

Please dont use Grenadier sub >->

Something cool you can do with Bard sub.Not very relevant.

The best sub weapon is and will be in future content Shuriken

Nothing beats the Crippling Wind combo.The Storm ticks too fast.

Targets DMG Taken +3% *6 = 18% + 15% Sorcerer Envoy = 33% DMG Taken

*Warning*

Dont play the Fire Path aka Right Path aka

Star Walker

Alien Enegery

Skill: Alien Energy

Element: Violent

DMG: Bad

Demon Seal

Skill Amplifier 95%

= Low

Blood Seal

Skill Amplifier 100%

= Low

Dots= Apply DMG over time.Dots dont apply direct dmg over time which only procs your envoy etc.

Fiend Totem from Left Mastery is in my opinion more usefull in its mechanic than the whole right path.

Increase Mastery to level 60 to change an additional effect:

"Blood Seal" Improvements: DPS +7%, plus DMG +5%.

"Demon Seal" Improvements: DPS +7%, plus DMG +5%.

"Flame Shock" Improvements: Small increase in Range, but also small decrease in DMG. Leaves a burning trail.

"DMG +2% for Flame Shock. Can stack up to 50 times and lasts for 4 sec."

look good on paper... but its really bad.

Skill Amplifier 135%

Element: Flame

Flame Path is aviable at full +30.Or one shot Bosses with Holy Sword Sub <-<

Sorcerer PVP Build

Well i will not loose many words about PVP.Build how you want.Follow the DMG build if you want to deal high DMG.Follow the Tank Path if you want to be tank.Good luck against +30 Holy Sword with the DMG Path Sorcerer is very agile.You can build in many ways.Keep in mind if you +30 the only gear worth is full dmg.

Lets go And sorry for my weird english...its my 4th language and i never use it

- Can apply many debuffs/buffs

- Fun to play.Team play class.Can support good.

Cons of this build and PVP Sorcerer in general:

But lets go with the Level 90-95 Guide ...

DMG+Meta Build

Reason: PVP Stats

Secret Stone:

Lava Secret Stone

Reason: DMG

Secret Stone(Bruiser/Tank):

Thunderous (10% HP, DMG Taken)

Reason: HP + DMG Taken

Sub Weapon

Warlord Zither

Reason: PVP Stats, Heal, Time Frame

Element: -

Secret Stone:

Lava Secret Stone

Reason: DMG

Secret Stone(Bruiser/Tank):

Trophys Level 90-94

Trophy 1

Twin Hearted Split Personalit

Trophy 2:

Keres' Wishlist

Reason: Heal % + EVA %

Healing Potency +20%

At level 95 you change

Keres' Wishlist to Eonus' Ancient Stone

Eonus' Ancient Stone

Reason: DMG Taken

DMG received -8%

Enemy attacks have a 10% chance to trigger(...)decreasing your DMG received by 15% for 12 sec.

Accesoiry

DMG

++

Warlord Invincible Set (3/3)

Reason: DMG

Why not to use Tank Accesoiry: It only give HP(Not even much).

If you are low on fortification(not all +20) consider the tank Accesoiry.But at this point you should not 90+ PVP at all.

Top

DMG

+

Warlord Prestige Set (2/2)

Reason: DMG

Armor Element: -> 25% DMG Redcution from Lighting Skills.Helps against Holy Sword.

Secret Stone: 2% DMG / 2% DMG Taken

Top

Bruiser/Tank

+
Divine Basic Eye Set (2/2)

Reason: HP/DEF

Armor Element: -> 25% DMG Redcution from Lighting Skills.Helps against Holy Sword.

Secret Stone:

6% CRT DMG / 2 % DMG Taken or 2% DMG / 2% DMG Taken or 2% HP / 2% DMG Taken.

Depend on your stats.

*Make sure to use Secret Stones that fit Sorcerer/Bard.Like Ambient Drone Range Increse.Soul Draw DMG.Demon Seal etc.*

Bottom

DMG

++

Warlord Fearless Set (3/3)

Reason: DMG

Secret Stone: 2% DMG / 2% DMG Taken

Bottom

Bruiser/Tank

*At this point you enter a different path.Building full tank with full purple PVP gear is not recommended.

What you want to do is stacking Critical DMG Reduction from different sources.I will go into detail later.

++

Endless War Set (3/3)

Reason: Critical DMG Reduction

You have a 12% chance of triggering(...)being attacked, reducing received CRIT DMG by 150% for 12 sec.

The DMG Path:

You Stack Offensive Stats like Flat DMG, CRT and detailed DMG against player.Critical DMG cap. is 300% for Sorcerer.You can easy overcap it in full DMG gear without any Food, Secret stones etc.In full purple 90 gear you also cap. DMG Taken from players(75%).Same for General DMG Taken if you use DMG Reductions from different Sources(Costumes,,Emblem,Secret Stones etc).

Pro: Very high DMG.Good in 1vs1.

Cons: Low on HP.Pretty dead after a misplay/Stun against good player xd

You can build bruiser with Sorcerer aswell.That means:

Divine Basic Eye Set (2/2)

Thunderous Secret Stones

30% HP Eidolon

30% HP into Allocate Mastery

+20% All Stats

-> Now can stack a high amount of HP(160K+)

The rest setup can be DMG(Warlord Fearless Set (3/3).

HP will make you really tanky if you dont misplay.

The Tank Path:

The only way to build tank in 90 Content is stacking Critical DMG Reduction.Work very well in 5vs5 and higher.

For this you use:
Divine Basic Eye Set (2/2) or Warlord Prestige Set (2/2). Divine give you way more HP but only a bit more CRT DMG Reduction.

Endless War Set (3/3)

Emblem with - X % CRT DMG Taken

Food with -20% CRT DMG Taken

Preemptive Strike -20% CRT DMG on Target (Tactical Spec)

Eidolon with -150% CRT DMG Taken(Like Quelkan)

Costume -13% CRT DMG Taken

*Classes that work better with the tank path are:

1.Bard

2.Sorcerer

2.Scythe (Highest CRT DMG Redcution possible thanks to it pets)

3.Guardian

*Sorted by the rank of : being tank <> usefull to a party.

Emblem

Emblem : DMG % Dealt(Detailed DMG)

Emblem 1: - X % DMG Taken

Emblem 2: - X % Critical DMG Taken

Costumes:

Head: HP % + DMG to Player

Face: DMG + Mantra Skill Level

Body : - X % DMG Taken + CRT DMG to player Player
Back: DMG or HP + MoveSpeed

Weapon: Accuracy + Soul Draw Skill Level

Food:

Up to you.MoveSpeed.Detail DMG.Critical DMG.Zeal.Up to you.How you play.How you build.Who you face.

Defensive: All Stats +20%,10% DMG Taken,20% Resistence

Envoy Paths:

DMG : http://bit.ly/2BHgpUy

3 Time Frame : http://bit.ly/2oukTpb

Another one: http://bit.ly/2sZzhvt

Tank Envoy: http://bit.ly/2sZzhvt

Its up to you how you build your envoy.You can aswell use +1 Second to Shadow Bolt making it a 5 second Immobilize.

Allocate Points:

Depend on your Stats.Usually the PVP stuff like:

ACC,HEAL,CRT DMG,ELEMENTAL RES,DMG,HP,MoveSpeed

It all depend how good your stats already are.

A must have for sorcerer in my opinion are:

ACC,Heal,MoveSpeed,Elemental Res,HP

Skill Rotations:

Typical Sorcerer stuff.Many combos possible.I can show you one of them.

3x DOTs ++++++-> Now you applied 5 Dots and a Immbolize allowing you to go to your target and

Sleep Totem Them for 6 Seconds.Now the DOTs do their work while the target is asleep.Here you either wait unitl the Sleep Totem expire and you target wakes up or you go straigth into:

+ -> Ultimate DMG +Stun for 3 Seconds followed by direct DMG

++++(...)

This is for 1vs1...there are many ways to play.

You can aswell use the Right Path and play more around with DOTs.

Masteries:

Who you face.What your Gear Score is.Sorcerer is very flexible.

The Level 60-69 PVP Build(Tank/Bruiser)

Use the usual Purple PVP DMG gear+Secret Stones etc. for Level 60-69

You can use all Purple Level 60 PVP DMG Gear ...

But your Bottom Set will be

++

Survive and Adapt Set (3/3)

Suffering a critical hit will make you a Survivor, which causes subsequent critical hits to deal 100% less damage for 15 seconds

- Now you stack Critical DMG Taken as seen in the *Tank Path

= Level 60 PVP is low on CRT DMG.People will have hard times to deal any crt dmg to you.Sure people can try to stack a big amount against you...but leave themself very vulnerable to a Sorcerer^^

*Keep in mind that it comes all down to fortification.Someone with way higher and a really good fortification opzimized build+gameplay will always erase you in 60 PVP unless you build a tank class with full tank gear.

One thing i have left to say: PVP is not so alive than it used to be.Many if not all main PVP player left over the time making it really difficult to start PVP events.The reason is because +30 Holy Sword exist ending up one shotting everyone.The main mode which still start(5vs5 Arena) is most of the time very unbalanced.

How PVP used to be alive(Like Centurion in 2014)

Really epic matches back than
