[SORCERESS] Sorcerers

[Hawkwind]

This char is still one of my favourites to play PvP. Good range high dmg baseline nukes (200-650 at 21). On Linux (name) I'm spec'd Path of desctruction as I like the suicidal AoE gameplay and quite often top the scenario tables in dmg. It's great fun to play if you don't mind dying often Just got the second spell in that line and it's awsome. 30ft AoE from your targets position that does around 200-600 dmg. Backed up by the instant cast cone DD which has similar damage you can dish out a lot of pain in 5 seconds.

MY one problem is the Dark Energy build up is way too fast when AOE'in. If I just nuke I get 10-12 nukes off before reaching 90-100% and then using a DD spell to zero it. AoE whacks it up 20% a go and with a fairly fast cast. The dmg variance is daft, anything from 89-400. So running into a pack of noobs on half health is fine. But this simply won't work in end game, the dmg output is just too low considering you can only get 5-6 off before you start getting feedback at > than -300 a go.

Would be nice to hear others relate their gameplay styles and thoughts on the class?

Back in beta, my favourite spells were

Shadow Knives - Abilities - Warhammer Online

and

Gloom Of Night - Abilities - Warhammer Online

It was fun to watch all those damage numbers fly up everywhere on the screen.
Not to mention the deathspam

Was just looking at the career builder on that site. later spells look awsome.

What are the chars HP's like at L40?

Level 4 Moral spells. Unleash the winds the destruction line paralysing knightmares both look very useful

Can't remember the HP, tbh. I'd have to take a look at those beta screens.
I remember the AoE spec to be a painful affair (at least for Order ). But that was also because of the fact that the order Players tended to cluster together in small clumps...an AOE caster's dream

The ranged AOE in Temple Scenario is so nice with all the tightly packed Order chars. Watching the dmg numbers 200-700 go up you know they are hurting badly and healing that lot is going to be a tough job.

Gonna be great fun in keep sieges.

You also get a tactic that knocks people back whenever you crit them(in the AoE line), was kinda OP in the beta so don't know if it's still in the game.

A good advice to those who plays a sorc, if you wanna go easy mode, at lvl 25 respec destruction and pick the ability called "Disastrous Cascade" it's the nr 9 mastery you can JUST get it at rank 25.

I'm currently at 20 and I've been enjoying the class immensely the past couple of days. But now, at the beginning of the tier3 zones I've started to lose interest, mainly because of the slow nukes and the lack of survivability. I am aware of the term glass-cannons, but I mean, the sorceress just takes it to a whole new level. The nukes takes forever to cast and barely does any damage unless I've got 100dm - at the moment my spell cycle against a mob is doombolt, gloomburst, doombolt, root, doombolt, gloomburst etc. till it's dead. Guess me being specced agony has a role in this, but changing to destruction can't make that much of a difference, can it?

I really make it sound worse than it is though, I guess.
