TL;DR: Prominence is the Sorcerer's signature fire nuke and one of the hardest-hitting single-target spells in the game. High burst, slightly faster cast than Hurricane, and a must-have opener. Buff with Prophecy of Water and watch for fire resistance.

Overview

Prominence is the most powerful fire spell of the Sorcerer (Archmage after the 3rd class transfer). It deals high single-target fire damage and is the Sorcerer's main nuke. Only Hurricane from the Spellhowler beats it on raw damage, making Prominence one of the strongest single-target spells in the game.

Damage scales with the caster's M.Atk and can reach 3,500โ€“4,500 at max level. The cast is slightly faster than Hurricane, which makes the Sorcerer a more consistent nuker.

How to Use

In PvE, Prominence is your core skill for killing single mobs. Alternate it with faster nukes (Blaze, Aura Bolt) for optimal DPS. In PvP it deals huge damage and a critical hit can one-shot a lightly geared target. In castle sieges, an Archmage with Prominence is one of the top sources of damage against enemy groups.

Tips

Use Prominence as your opener while the enemy is still closing the gap. Combine it with AoE spells (Blaze, Meteor) to clear mob packs. For maximum damage, always pick up the Prophecy of Water buff, which raises M.Atk. Against targets with high fire resistance, switch to a spell of another element or apply Surrender to Fire to lower their resistance.
