Hello and Welcome
I'm a player who likes to test different classes and builds, while I make some lives on my character. Some builds I make myself with the items I have at the moment, other builds I get help from friends and try to get some items for the build. As I make different builds and with different focuses, farming to maximize them all becomes impossible. Therefore, most of them are not maximized.
Currently I'm doing the racial lives of my alt (Milkquake), while my main (Mononitro) stays in the endgame.
My goal is to show how different builds perform in different quests and raids. Additionally, to demonstrate that you don't need to be a character with all lives, to have all Reaper points and/or to have the best items to do some R10 Solo quests.
Disclaimer
In this build, I was doing Dragonborn racial lives. You can have higher DC or Spell Power for a specific element, so this race is good for a sorcerer spellcaster.

My thoughts
Leveling:
Endgame R10
Among the caster classes, the Cold Sorcerer performed well. The Eclipse ED (Epic Destiny) is the best choice for casters. I focused more on DCs than on Spell Power; however, with the changes to item DCs, I might be able to shift that focus toward Spell Power instead.
I managed to run R10 difficulty on several quests, including those in Myth Drannor and Lamordia. Enemies would occasionally save against my spells, but not very often.
I still consider the Cold Druid and Archmage Wizard slightly better than the Cold Sorcerer. The Druid offers superior sustain and mobility. The Wizard has a wider variety of spells, is easier to build for high DCs (due to having more feats), and offers better sustain (by being Undead), while matching the Cold Sorcerer's mobility.
I would recommend building a Cold Sorcerer. It deals a lot of damage and can handle both mobs and bosses. However, there are more single-target cold spells than AoE ones, so I used electricity as a secondary element. Also, the changes to Frost Lance significantly improved the Cold Sorcerer's DPS.
Endgame Farm/Grind R1
I would recommend an Air Savant build for farming/grinding due to the superior mobility and AoE capabilities; you'd focus on Electric, Sonic, and Fire spells.
Good Epic Destinies would be:
1) Exalted Angel, for healing and extra mobility via Angelic Charge; 2) Primal Avatar, using the Primal mantle to avoid Spell Point issues; and 3) Fatesinger, to boost Sonic damage, gain healing on Shout/Greater Shout (allies only), and access Eschew Materials via Metamagics Attunement as well as the Epic Moment ability.

- My items may not be the best, as I make a lot of builds with different classes and races. Then, you can improve the items. I'm showing what I managed to do, the damage and the times.
- I use hireling as a backup, not all runs I can do flawlessly. It is only to give me resurection, generally the cures are specific to the class.
- I'm not good at placing augments and I avoid using set augments.
- Until this time, I'm not full lives.
- I'm not a good player in do builds, so If you have ideas, advices or thoughts, let me know. I'd like to learn what you have to teach
- I did not have Lamordia itens when I was playing this class.
- My goggle bonus can be changed, I don't know why we need to do Threats Old and New to change a Myth Drannor item attribute.
- I played before Update 80 and its changes to the DC.
- I don't remember my spells DCs and Powers ~sadsongviolin

My thoughts
Leveling:
The leveling process was fun and fast.
From levels 1 to 4, I leveled up using the Inquisitive tree. If you don't have Inquisitive, Eldritch Knight works too. I prefer not to use spells during those first four levels; the damage is low, and they consume too many Spell Points.
From levels 4 to 12, I focused on the Fire Savant tree. The spells I used most often were Scorch, Fireball, Shout, and Ball Lightning. From level 12 onwards, I switched my Enhancements to Air Savant. You also gain access to Chain Lightning. Combining Wind Dance (Air Savant Tier 5) and Action Boost: Sprint (from Falconry) with Chain Lightning and Ball Lightning allowed me to clear quests very quickly.
I played as Air Savant from level 12 to 34, only switching to Water Savant at level 34. The only issue during the heroic levels is the lack of self-healing, but usually, you can take down the enemies before they manage to attack you.
