WF Sorc Help

[axel15810]

My first time making a Sorc, looking for some help. How is this for stats and feats?

I'm completely open to anything I'm clueless when it comes to building a sorc for the most part. I just want a standard nuking WF sorc, nothing special or fancy. I like the idea of a water based sorcerer so I'm planning on going water savant.

I could use some advice on what spells to take as I level up as well.

8 STR
8 Dex
20 Con
8 INT
6 Wis
16 Cha

level ups in CHA

Feats in this order -

Toughness
Maximize
Spell Focus Evocation
Greater Spell Focus Evocation
Empower
Heighten
Quicken

Very standard, will be very strong.

Have you considered going SF/GSF Conjuration instead, though? What you would improve...
-Web!
-Your first tier SLA and the one most susceptible to losing damage on save

What you would diminish...
-Frost Lance, but it's a Fort save
-Cone of Cold
-Otiluke's

What you wouldn't change at all...
-Niac's Biting Cold
-Polar Ray

Evocation also makes up a lot of non-Acid direct damage spells, but your #1 damagers don't have a save anyway, and Acid Rain is a Conjuration which loses a lot more on its one failed save than Wall of Fire would.

.

I would also leave Empower for very last and GSF for 15.

.

Spell-wise, it doesn't matter much until you get to 7, when you take Wall of Fire and roll through Delera's and Shadow Necro for a few levels. After that, even though you don't have much/anything in Spell Pen, don't be afraid to try out Circle of Death, Finger of Death, Wail, and your negative level spells. There are plenty of targets with no SR.

so recently I TR'd my helf sorc into a WF sorc, I will show you how I built mine, and how I am playing him:
Note: he is only lvl 11 right now.
stats: (note: he is a 34 point build, so you could omit intell and just take concentration, or start with 19 con and put points into intell)
str and dex : 8
int: 10
wis: 6
cha: 16
con: 20
I took the 10 int so that I could max out UMD and concentration, and even with your lower charisma you can still get a good UMD.

feats:
1-toughness
3-SF:evocation
6-maximize
9-heighten
12-quicken
15-empower (although I may swap this with GSF:evo, but I do like high SLA damage)
18-GSF:evocation

I took SF evo before maximize since maximize raises your SP cost so high that at early levels you won't be using it much. Also take quicken at level 12 so that you can have it for when you get reconstruct, as that is the real reason you are taking quicken, on a fleshy sorc you would never takd quicken.

will post my enhancement plan and play tups later, it is almost dinner, but here is a link to my sorc in case you want to look at him (note: his gear for his past life is pretty ragged since I TR'd him quickly):

edit: I decided to nkt give play/ enhancement advice as play advice would be pretentious of me, and for a WF sorc it is hard to go wrong on enhancements.

double edit: When I get back from vaca I can give you a list of somevery good spells....
