I am trying to understand the EK tree in general. My thought is that it would allow me to play a Sorc that would have buffs (and self-healing as a Bladeforged) and spell casting fun. Can this really be done?

It looks like the 18/2 BF is fairly popular, but not using EK? I'd like to throw up a disco ball and wade into baddies and smash them to bits.

So, I am really looking for information/how to play the EK Sorc. Is this simply better as a Wizard instead? Would you still use a Bladeforged?

Thanks for any insights!
