Overview
The Sorcerer is a Human mage who commands the elements of fire and water. You shred single targets and whole mob packs alike with powerful nukes. It's a versatile magic DD that performs equally well in PvE farming and PvP skirmishes.
Key Skills
| Skill | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Prominence | Single-target nuke | Your core fire nuke — high damage and a fast cast. The backbone of your single-target rotation. |
| Hydro Blast | Single-target nuke | A water-element attack that also slows the target. Excellent for control in PvP. |
| Blaze | AoE | A fire spell that hits an entire mob pack at once — your main AoE farming tool. |
| Body to Mind | Utility | Converts HP into MP so you never stall on mana during long fights. |
Build & Gear
The Sorcerer is built around three things: M.Atk, casting speed and reduced MP consumption. Stat priorities:
| Stat | Priority | Why |
|---|---|---|
| M.Atk | ★★★ | Direct multiplier on every fire and water nuke. |
| Casting Speed | ★★★ | More casts per second means more sustained and burst damage. |
| Max MP / MP regen | ★★ | Keeps you nuking without downtime in long fights and AoE chains. |
| Fire / water attribute | ★★ | Boosts your offensive nukes; defensive attributes cut incoming damage. |
For your weapon, take a magic focus with high M.Atk and an SA geared toward casting or MP. For armor, use a robe set that grants MP, casting speed and resistances. Don't skip weapon augmentation and Soul Crystals to level your SA. Raising your attributes (fire and water for offense, others for defense) strengthens your nukes and reduces the damage you take.
PvP & Olympiad
In PvP the Sorcerer is a burst nuker. Open with Hydro Blast to slow your priority target, then finish with Prominence to delete it in a couple of casts. Hold your distance, cast from behind the tanks and focus enemy supports. Your main risks are cast interruption and running dry on MP, so distance control decides the fight.
On the Olympiad, lead with the slow and keep your range. Against fighters, kite and burst from afar; against mages, race to land your nuke before their shields come up. If you enjoy mage duels, compare this build with the Spellhowler and Necromancer.
PvE & Farming
In PvE you're the prime AoE farmer of a magic party. Gather mobs into a pack, drop Blaze on them and finish with Prominence. Bring an Elder and a Prophet and your output multiplies: the Elder restores MP with Recharge and buffs you, while the Prophet boosts your magic damage. With that support the Sorcerer becomes the fastest farming engine on the spot. For group-farm fundamentals, see the party system guide.
Pros & Cons
Strengths: huge burst damage, powerful AoE farming, versatility across PvE and PvP, and high value in any magic party.
Weaknesses: robe-wearer fragility, reliance on MP and support, and vulnerability to cast interruption and silence. If you'd rather have debuffs and control over raw burst, look at the Necromancer, or compare other nukers like the Spellhowler and Spellsinger.
