Sorc in Endgame, Reconstruct bot?

[Nick_RC]

Completely agree with bunker. When I'm on my sorc gimme a poweful tank and il reconstruct him all day long and duo every quest in the game. And that's on top of doing the rest of the fun stuff. If ur doing ur cc, nuking etc. the tank won't be taking al that much damage anyhow. Personally with 36 points drow (32)has become alot more attractive. IMO it's a wash now between the three races.

And to the person who think sorcs can't nuke I lol at you.

Well seeing as my healing clerics can heal for 600~1000 hp....and my WF Sorc can only reconstruct for 300 max...im thinking its probably my Healer.

What are you thinking?

I'm thinking that is awesome if you can heal a WF without healers friend for 600-1000 hp. You say "my healing clerics" so I'd assume you built them to heal and are happy doing so. If thats the case, great, I'd imagine you would be a welcome addition to any party.

But clerics can do so much more than just heal as well. Just like a sorc can do more than just cast wall of fire. What is wrong with everyone in the group doing everything they can do to complete the quest? If that means the sorc helping the cleric by throwing a reconstruct occasionally or the cleric casting something besides heal spells then why not?

At the same time that means the WF should have healers friend and everyone should try to be somewhat self sufficient because that is them doing their part to complete the quest.

Here's my thoughts on WF and Sorcs.

Every WF should have some healers friend/healing amp worked in their build imo. Or get used to switching to a non-WF tank if we can't find a sorc/wizard to help with the heals. On a cleric/FvS, healing a non-heal friendly/non-amp WF tank is like healing a brick. Letting them die and doing full res is probably cheaper.

If you are a sorc at end game, and want to play in raids/epic questing, you should carry reconstruct as a spell. Its normally not efficient to have more than one arcane caster in TOD/Epic Raids. We try to carry two in guild as a lot of the loot is caster specific. Turbine has decided that DDO is all about the melee at end game. Pretty helpful if a sorc can recon (and scrolls can be slow) spell the numerous 'WF Pally with Epic SOS flavor of forever builds" coming up.

I've gone so far as having 3 single repair and 2 mass repair spells on a human sorc combined with force spec enhancements just to see how it was. Its still way easier to heal a party of fleshies on my FvS than on a sorc specced for repair healing a party of WF. Mass repair needs some work to make it as viable as mass healing spells (i.e. Mass Recon). I'll be going with recon spell only in the future.

Playing a sorc is painful enough at times in current end game content - its even worse if you play a repairbot sorc. Having the ability to help spot heal via recon spell is fine. But if your role is to be primary repairbot, its not worth playing. Join the crowd, get a 'WF Pally with Epic SOS' and pug the repairbot job out.
