    Default Looking for a new fire savant build

    Hello fellow forumites,
    I'm coming back to the game after about a 3 year absence and am looking to get a new sorcerer going. I've just grabbed Bladeforged and wanted to do a BF Fire Savant. Probably keep the paladin level and maybe add in a few more for survivability, but don't want to melee. Just nuke stuff and stay alive. Any current fire builds out there? I haven't seen any that focus on fire.
    Thanks in advance...

    If you don't have FvS, the simplest build is BF sorc 18 / pal 2: max CHA, decent CON, enough INT for skill pts (Spellcraft is must-have, I like to max UMD & Concentration as well); usual metamagics, lvl 9 spells, most of your APs into your Savant tree of choice. I recommend taking Mithral Body as your lvl 1 feat (since you can't take a metamagic) for the added PRR/MRR; later, if you have enough ASF reduction (from gear & enhs) you can swap it for Addy Body for even more PRR/MRR.

    If you do have FvS, then your options are more complicated; many fire Savants take a FvS 2-4 splash for the various AoV bonuses (Smiting, Just Reward, Intense Faith), which apply to sorc spells. I used a BF sorc 16 / FvS 2 / pal 2 as a Challenge farmer with great results; I'm sure it could be tweaked into a "real" sorc easily enough. Some build examples:

    https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthrea...ller-than-ever

    These are WF, but you get the general idea, I'm sure...

    Builder is bugged: you need to be able to cast spells before you can take Spell Focus or any metamagic feats; so you can't take SF:Evo at pal lvl 1. Like I said, I suggest Mithral Body to start for the added protection; Toughness+eToughness is only worth 80 HPs at lvl cap and isn't really worth the feat slots, IMHO.

    I would also dump STR for INT 12 for more skill pts.

    Why are people picking evoc feats on sorcs is what makes me confused all the time.
    Pretty much waste of feat imho as a sorc player for as long as i know about ddo.

    Tho now im bar bar

    Opener, best options for a sorc bf are mixing it with monk or fsoul, mixing with both is ideal tho but requires heart.
    Both are p2p classes so you might not have acces to those.
    Depends what and how you want to play.
    As a newcomer best are shiradi builds, which means that you can drop sorc levels til 12 minimum /imollation core
    You can also do some kinda dcrusader builds, but those lack bursty dps.
    Then there is draconic but that is pretty much for dc sorcs, that require most gear effort and past lifes/tome to work.

    My suggestion would be if you have fsoul 12 sorc 4 fsoul 4 palie or similiar sorc/palie/fsoul splits

    On a first-life sorc (or wiz) - which I'm inferring is what OP meant by "new sorc" - the first Spell Focus feat is necessary to unlock the DC bonuses in Magister and Draconic, which are worth +5 DCs combined (presuming you Twist one while in the other ED). After that, you see diminishing returns from extra Spell Focuses (Foci?).
    My suggestion would be if you have fsoul 12 sorc 4 fsoul 4 palie or similiar sorc/palie/fsoul splits
    I prefer to save the heavily-MCed monstrosities for after someone's leveled their EDs, geared up, etc. Pure or mostly-pure first-life sorc is still strong enough for all but the hardest EEs; and those require a more significant build investment anyway.

    Id say pick 1 evoc feat and use other 2 feats for something else, he will most prolly run eh/en anyways, so rather take mental toughnless line or similiar, in case he wants dc casting, then enchant focus for sure

    Maybe a little more clarification... This is a new Sorc build for me, but is on a multi TR'd character. I have a lot of destiny stuff already done. Past lives were 3 cleric, 3 wizard, 1 sorc. Last life was all over the place on her sorc life. Am TRing into Bladeforged and am looking for something that can stand up in epic elite. Gear will come, as that is mostly outdated, but want a platform that will perform. Also, amPtP.
    Thanks.

    Switch SF: Evo to Past life: Wizard, and greater SF: Evo to :SF: Evo, those are my suggestions.

    It will come easy to you if you already did all those caster lives, it's not like it's a whole new world, you'll see once you start

    I used it as sorc without feats heh, i think my biggest issue is to give advice to people wout plifes /gear since i consider getting plifes and gear in current ddo trivial,
    if you say multi tr opener, then 1 evoc feat, then other 2 enchant feats, or 1 evoc 1 enchant and wiz plife, you will end up doing holds more then evoc spells imo since it maximizes your run speed

    Yes, 1 evoc, 1 enchant, 1 wiz pl makes the most sense to me.

    Sunburst was more of a joke, since it's one of the evo spells that do something else beside full damage on failed saves.
    It is very useful for MoD and Shadow Dragon though.


    On a sidenote, has anyone a clue what evo DC is required to blind archers in EE Mod with sunburst? I mean on an actual arcane sunburst, not buggy cleric sunburst. Inquiring minds need to know. I guess they have an outrageous reflex save? Fort save already seems terribly high.
    But reflex can be debuffed nicely, ...

    Since they count as evasion enemies dunno.

    One thing you could do is hold/sunburst tho since they lose reflex from dex that way, maybe doable no idea as i never even considerd to try it.
    Only used sunburst in vol when i was farming for helm, was funny to insta all 4 vamps in endfight

    Ah, well that changes things a bit. I definitely agree you should take wiz PL for +1 to all DCs.

    What you do with the first two epic feats is up to you. I usually go with Air as my secondary element, with a few Force / untyped dmg spells as a backup. I didn't list all spells, just the ones I felt were highest priority.

Probably keep the paladin level and maybe add in a few more for survivability, but don't want to melee. Just nuke stuff and stay alive. Any current fire builds out there? I haven't seen any that focus on fire.
    Thanks in advance...
