Pure Sorcerer Build

[Hobgoblin]

you can't strip from sorc capstone? or did you not turn on?

 

[Greybeard]

No I still have it but have been seeing the Immune message on my damage hits against Fire immune mobs so just figured that my fire spells were still not landing.

 

[Hobgoblin]

something is wrong then. drag to hot bar and turn on?

This. Unless you're in Fire Elemental form the strip won't activate.

 

[Greybeard]

I do run it active in dungeons (when I remember to turn it on LOL) So when I forget that may be when I've been seeing those messages. Thanks

I do need to bring her in and update her gear setup in the builder but that's gonna have to wait until my computer is done processing an image for my one of my December Books.

 

[Greybeard]

For gear Recommends I have VIP, Ravenloft, Shadowfell, Underdark, Queen of the Demonweb and Feywild Expacs. Sharn is next on my list.

There is no reason to turn it off.
If you don't like the graphic you can kill it in the Options: Gameplay>Disable Full character Overlay Effects

Also, with elemental form on, the first fire spell on a fire-immune mob will show immune, as that hit is what removes the immunity. Further hits will deal full fire dmg

 

[Greybeard]

Thanks. I wasn't aware of the mechanics involved.

Thanks for the input. Her gear has gotten better with more upgrades in the bank she's 25 now so passed all the heroic stuff and working the epic tree. She seems to be a real powerhouse. I don't use as much sp as I'm relying heavily on SLPs Fireball being her mainstay but I'll check into switching Meteor storm in her rotation. Also have lightning strike which I keep handy for those fire immune guys. Otherwise I've been happy with the build so far.

Meteor swarm is your bread and butter mainstay. If you're worried about sp management then put points into efficient maximise (and empower). sp should be more plentiful in epics and you also get sp 'stones' (can't think what the correct term is lol) from kills

Builds are only part of the equation. @Epicsoul made great suggestions already.

You can have the best build, but if you don't gear for it then you won't be able to perform well with it. Nukers care about four things:

Spellpower
Spell Critical Chance
Spell Critical Damage
DCs (saving throws vs. your spells)

The higher those bonuses, the more damage you do. The more damage you do, the less you'll run out of mana or be able to do higher difficulty content.

Fire sorcs have great spell selection. Meteor Swarm is your bread and butter. Delayed Blast Fireball ain't bad either. You want to focus on Force (Impulse) and Fire (Combustion). If you didn't know, the blunt damage from Meteor Swarm is increased by Force.

Don't worry about trying to crowbar in Devotion for healing. You aren't going to be a primary healer. At best you'll have Rejuvenating Cocoon from Primal Avatar or maybe Mass Cure Moderate from Exalted Angel.

Spellpower, Spell Critical Chance, Spell Critical Damage and Caster DCs can be found individually on items as well as part of set bonuses. You'll need to take some time looking through the expansions you have access to for the gear with the highest combined bonuses.

If you didn't know, the blunt damage from Meteor Swarm is increased by Force.
Oops, i've been acid/fire the whole time lol. Never really payed attention to the details of Meteor Swarm, just assumed that force was useless. I dont use Gruin because it blows thru my spell points.

I'm doing a max helpless damage build, but it doesn't feel like its doing the damage it should be. I have it maxxed and it's just kinda bleh.
