OK total Sorc newbie. I'm not the best in the world at clickfests which probably makes me a poor candidate to play a sorc but you just can't duplicate the feeling of being a human flamethrower ; ).
I have a host of very basic questions and here are a few. I've got the whole burning hands thing pretty well down but area of effect spells are a problem. Whats the best way to target them. Since they don't affect your party members do you just pick out someone in the middle of a mob, click them then the spell? I took hypnotize as a crowd control spell. From the description it made it sound like you just needed to click the spell and it would automatically target nearby enemies but everytime I do that I get a message something like "spell usage failure not target selected". So it appears I need to target someone? Spells like Niacs seem difficult to use in big combats since you have to have a specific target and nobody will stand still ; ). Any suggestions on the basics of spell casting would be appreciated. Thanks.
