My LS sorc is doing pit 90 np but…
While she is great at multi target, her single target/Boss damage is lacking.
At my current configuration of gear/aspects, I feel as if 95 might be out of reach due to the Boss eating up too much time. So…
- Needs better Boss/single target oomph.
- I do find her a lot of fun to play though and feel she blasts Infernal Hordes better than my Evade SB due to her aoe reach.

When running a conjugation build those familiars are very useful and a lot of them can be created along with ice blades, ls, and hydra.
My CL sorceress uses the familiars to stun large groups and then add more damage. They really aren’t as lame as people are saying and yes still effective in T4 open world, Helltides, Pit, and NM Dungeons.
I don’t think the familiar was intended to be a stand alone powerhouse and works very well at enhancing or adding to the overall effectiveness of the sorceress
Edit: yes tempering sucks and if I hit on the one I want no matter how low the result I stop and stick with that.

All sorc builds are completely dependent upon having an amulet with GA conjuration mastery and devouring blaze to do competitive damage. Probably the most gear-dependent class in the entire game.

I kind of disagree because my CL sorceress is using a 1 GA amulet with %damage (the GA), run speed, & life. She is in tier 4 and able to do any content other than pit runs over level 81.
I haven’t tried pit 82 yet because 81 was a real slog and the reward just didn’t equal out to the effort. She is really fun in UC and hordes, it’s almost comical when burning butcher says fresh meat in that one horde choice.
She is heavily dependent on coaxial, shroud, heir of perdition, 2 ga esus, starless, and an awesome 3 ga ring.
I guess that builds are heavily dependent on gear.
Edit note - this sorceress is on eternal and the LS sorceress is on seasonal

hi, the Aspect of Elemental Constellation is our sorc’s best single target arsenal thus far. i imprinted it on amulet, able to deliver 10 times the ordinary 'M’illion damage done by chain lightning/LS, 700M-1200M.

8.- too dependant on splinter energy aspect, devoring blaze pasive and conjuration mastery affix.
Sorcerer not only does the lowest damage of all classes: is a waste of time to play with.
This class is so bad and so worthless that they need start from scratch to fix it.
low damage, low resistance, it;s a disaster…
Sorcerers are “masters” of the element, but even a rogue can do more elemental damage than a sorcerer.
no game has a magical character so weak than this one
I run an ice shard/blizzard/frost nova/shatter build with penitents and icehearts and with high cdr I can basically freeze stuff with impunity and set off chain reactions. It’s super fun.
If Ice Shard had like 50% higher base damage when I cast it versus autocasts I would be in a much better spot for bosses.
Well ain’t that funny since my current sorc has no + to conjuration currently. I’ve blasted over 250 mill and can’t get it for the life of me.
Still doing pit 90 np though. Would love to get my hands on a good neck but so far it has not been in the cards for me.

I think that a good amulet is the most difficult thing to find right now…

sorc mostly lacks single target dps.

I rolled a Sorc on Tues. I wasn’t sure what kind I was going to play. I started with Frost Bolt, Ice Shards and Familiar. I expanded that to Blizzard and Hydra. I tried Deep Freeze and didnt really like it. It didnt improve damage and didnt help kill any faster so I ditched it in favor of Hydras.
I dont have any class specific uniques for the build Just running Azure Wrath, Frostburn and Penitent Greaves. I could probably do Torment 3, I haven’t tested the build, but she kills everything in Torment 2 in seconds.
I realy hope Blizzard Buff the Hydra soon …one Year is over and this is always Nerfed

I’ve seen this too. There’s something under-the-hood that’s broken.
It’s really a shame. The class abilities feel so underpowered, watered down, and ineffective. I’m not a fan of D4’s approach to combat. D3 was leagues more satisfying to play. If we could have the D4 open world system /w D3 characters and abilities I’d be quite happy.

You need play sorc by meshing buttons, activate flame shield when you are perfectly safe to boost up the Enlightenment stacks for DPS which are the only passive worth using.
-
Farm Varshan every season until the GA max roll CRD Tal Rasha Ring drop
-
Salvage all helms, all rings and all chest every time it drops as you are expected to use only mythic version of this 3 piece of gear unless you want to make a low dps non meta build.
-
Refer back to No 12. Don’t bother to read the description of resource aspect and defense aspect as you have no gear piece to use them.
-
Cast ice armor after activated flameshield for nothing other than proc dps from stormwell
yep unless you give in to shatter its the same old story… kill the whole dungeon in 2 min pray you can take down the boss in 13.
Sorc appears to be designed to be the trash clear class in a group centric MMO, only this isn’t a group centric MMO, so relegating a class to that role does not feel like great design.
I also Vastly prefer my LS for horde over any other character. I won’t push pit with LS anymore though, I’m leaving that to the firebolt/shatter. that said i did get up to 93 cleared without a good amulet or any max aspects, or a 25% TR ring, so just maybe if i can get a few of those things ill resume my hunt for 100+ on LS lol
Sad that they over-nerfed the FO/LS build so much (and decimated most conjuration builds with it). Having the AOE of LS and the ST of FO it was almost a versatile enough build to be good at pit without needing shatter.
I am curious to see if the change to Avalanche is accompanied by any other love that might work together to bolster FO/LS enough to be worth playing again
