In all honesty though, i know some people who run WF sorcs and they seem to like it. There are a lot of advantages but it does have it's draw backs. I have always wanted one but never got around to making as casters are REALLY not my thing.

Go for it man. Just remember that your strength will be in nuking and self repairing. I can't say how much the lower charisma damages you at higher levels with spell dc's. I would think with a plus 3 tome and a greensteel cha item it wouldnt be that bad but as i said, i am no caster expert.

Thinking about rolling one myself. I have a drow Sorc and a WF Wiz, wouldn't mind crossing the two...

The faster casting speed and SP increase would do nice things for a WF Wiz. The only down side is that a WF Wiz will have a DC 2 lower than a drow and 1 lower than other races. That is a definate downside on the instadeath and CC side (and to some degree DPS, but that's probably more than offset by the extra SP for the DPS side)

It's a classic D&D trade off and if it will be fun depends to some degree on what type of playstyle you have. Certainly if the DPS sorc comes back into play in mod 9 as they have hinted, a WF Sorc will be a good choice.

I love my WF Sorc - retired my Drow Wizard shortly after rolling it.
The biggest aspect that makes it a lot of fun are the self-healing, and the natural immunities the WF comes with.

They are an absolute blast to play - and easily one of the most capable solo builds around.

A guildie has had a wf sorc for a long time now. I wouldn't quite say he's un-killable, but he's as close as I have ever seen in this game. With the new wizard capstone, people are going to start looking to them for insta-kill/crowd control duties, leaving sorcs to be nuke happy. A wf sorc fits that bill to a T. I have 3 casters and am re-rolling one wf sorc, all about nuking.

i can land a finger better then most drow's

dude i know wf sorcs are you thing but yuo do not have a higher save dc than a similarly equipped and tomed drow.

Well, technically he's correct, as a lot of people build drow that aren't casters. I mean, people build drow paladins, rogues, rangers, etc. His warforged caster is better at finger of death than 100% of drow paladins, rogues, rangers, etc...

So when you factor in the non caster drow, his statement is correct, he's probably better with the finger of death spell than most drow.

[Monkey_Archer]

Current max Charisma with +3 tome, +6 item, +3 exeptional shroud weapon, +4 levels, +3 enhancement

Drow: 39 (+14 DC)
Human: 38 (+14 DC)
Halfling, Elf: 37 (+13 DC)
Dwarf/WF: 35 (+12 DC)

No one can deny that a WF is best for soloing/nuking...

Personally i prefer humans.... Not as squishy as Drow and can get the same DC.
Any good sorc can UMD a heal scroll and with improved recovery and a bit of scroll mastery can usually top up in 1 or 2 scrolls.

I have a Drow Sorc and a WF Sorc. Both are maxed Cha and geared/tomed identically. Skiver, Spell Pen Armour etc. Their feats are almost identical too. I guess I like to play my casters a specific way.

My WF has less SP than my Drow and my FoD is noticeably weaker as well.

MY WF has more HP and is self repairable but my Drow is 90% on heal scrolls so quite self survivable as well.

I've got to admit, I prefer playing my Drow but the WF will be easier to play for new players. My Drow has items that are hard to get which helps his umd.

[Missing_Minds]

My biggest issue with a WF sorc is the lack of spells slots for repair.

I mean if they ever fixed sorcs to have the correct number of 1st and 2nd lvl spells it wouldn't be as big of an issue at all, because with all your enhancements, crits and what have you, you'd be find with a repair mod for the most part.

Other wise, I've ran a wf wizard to cap and had a blast.

Fun if you can handle looking butt ugly

I have a WF Wizard that I've gotten up to 15 so far. I went wizard instead of sorc to avoid the primary stat hit and also to have the extra spell slots for repair spells.(I also already had a capped Drow sorc, so wizard was a change of pace) It was definitely a blast to play him at all levels. My wife was rolling up a WF barbarian at the same time, so together we could plow through just about anything. I lost count of how many times the two of us ended up carrying stones to shrines. I think my favorite memory was going through the beholder room of VON 3 for the first time at level 7 and laughing at how much of a joke the room was for a group with three or four WF.

Whether you go wizard or sorc, I don't think you will be unhappy with a WF caster. Warning: Warforged immunities , self-healing capabilities, and the full power of an arcane caster may lead to feelings of intoxication with power and contempt for the puny fleshlings.

so very true.

I have rolled 2 WF casters / a wizzy lvl 15 now, and a sorc lvl 5 now. I have to be truly honest here... the sorc is a much better build than the wizzy. Don't get me wrong I love my WF wizzy, but the constant need for shrines, and the slow casting really puts a burden on your "nuke" potential. Either way wizzy, or sorc it's a **** fine build and a TON of fun. As for the issue with DC regarding the WF sorc, you will never be able to match the potential of a drow in insta death spells, but you will notice that you are carrying their stone to the shrine more.

cheers!

thats funny my wf sorc foundtehtrap cha is atm
20 base +3 tome +9 item 32 +3 cha sorc's 35 with abbot item 36

most drows i know have 30 - 32 that means my dc's are 3 higher... not to mention i carry the storm reavers cloak.

i have heighten
I'm not saying their arn't some drows out their full geared out but most of them roll up a wf before they get all the nessesary raid loot
36 cha on wf vs 40 on a drow (max) 2 dc's..... thats just a couple feats diffrence + that means a drow lands a finger 10% more often (and possibly up 2 25% more offten depending on a persons fort save) only repair spell i take is reco.... 35 mana 285 hp ....... i wanna see a cleric solo heal a vod elite tank... drows can do it too but their too good for repair spells
