Any builds for Sorc Helf pls

[dvd-GT]

I would like to build a sorcerer half-elf for a static group, it must be a 28 point build , i am new to building chars so any help would be appreciated.
I'm thinking of a nuker type build, with some cc as secondary consideration, i see my role in the group as high damage dealer. I am not really concerned with buffs as i will have a cleric at my disposal and any traps will be the rogues problem, i would like to be able to evade any trouble i may encounter, i had considered the paladin diletante to help keep me safe.
Please feel free to recommend any gear you think would be useful such as wands and scrolls.

Thanks.

Why Half Elf?

There is very little synergy with that Race choice.

This character will only run with one group, it will be a full party whenever it quests and the group will be very methodical, using strategy and planning to complete all possible options. Speed is not important, the reason i chose Half Elf is the same reason i play DDO, i thought it might be fun.

Umm...why NOT Half Elf?

No Con Penalty or Charisma penalty
Racial Enhancement can be applied to Charisma
Special cooldown timers for Charisma based skills
Free Dilettante feats? Including ones that grant self-healing?
Arcane Fluidity

Nope, there's clearly NO reason for a Sorcerer to be a Half-Elf. Half-Orc and Dwarf are OBVIOUSLY the best options.

On a somewhat less exasperated note, starting a Sorcerer now is just begging to eat a Lesser Reincarnate in about 4 weeks. When the Elemental Savant PrE's go live with Update 9, the nuker builds will undergo radical changes. Waiting to see what they look like on Lamannia might be prudent.

So, if you are starting the character right now, just set aside the turbine points for the Heart of Wood, and do not fuss too much about the details of the build to start with.

Also...most game guides recommend your first arcane caster be a Wizard. It makes it far cheaper and easier to experiment with the various spells and change them up. Not to mention the fact that TRed Sorcerers benefit hugely from Wizard Past Lives.

No Con Penalty or Charisma penalty

Many races donthave a con penalty... and 20 hit pints isnt that big a deal anyway.

Racial Enhancement can be applied to Charisma

yes, theres 1.....

Special cooldown timers for Charisma based skills

That no one uses on a sorc anyway.

Free Dilettante feats? Including ones that grant self-healing?

Sorcs can easily get enough UMD to be just as self healing.

Arcane Fluidity

No reason to weat armor on a sorc.

Nope, there's clearly NO reason for a Sorcerer to be a Half-Elf. Half-Orc and Dwarf are OBVIOUSLY the best options.

I didnt say anything about Half-orc or Dwarf did I? It was a simple question. I didnt say H-E sucked. I just said it lacked Synergy. Which it does... But his reason is just fine.

[Entelech]

Umm...what race *has* synergy then?

Warforged? If your concern is self healing, Favored Soul Dilettante gets that for you without sacrificing three points of Charisma and annoying the party Cleric.

I find your observation just a tad strange, since Half Elf is arguably in the top tier of control-Sorcerer (i.e. Sorcerers with higher than 13 Charisma at level 1) races, along with Drow and Humans.

If you're planning a multiclass splash for any reason, it gets better.

Thanks Jelly, i wanted to take the Paladin dil. for the bonus to saves, apart from that i agree and this will be the basis for the character.

How about the Favored Soul Dilettante instead for some healing via wands and scrolls?

The group will have a dedicated healer at all times, although i did consider this dil. i thought increased saves more beneficial, to keep me effective during combat.
