A sharn update is on page 2. I switched from a DC build to a damage build. I've filled in my gear for anyone curious. You could solo solo R10s with the damage available to sorcs now as well as meld. It has gotten much harder since I took a three year break from the game.

A brief feywild update is on page 2.

Am interested in answering any gear questions. This stuff has been whittled down over a while now. Sorc casting time and cooldowns are OP OP. Targeting weak saves is the best way to play a caster so I don't feel higher DCs are needed. Maybe in some scenarios...

Screenshots include YUGO but not remnant pot, EA angel form (+2 CHA), or the core for +2 CHA. The core must be toggled off or you pull lots of agro. There are some scenarios where you could turn it on but I don't bother.

This is helpful, thanks for sharing. It's good to see what the "R10 is too easy" player's build looks like! Some good tips in here.

So I guess you've decided the slaver set is still better than any mists set you could put together?

Yes. The old set is numerically higher, more costly, yet more flexible.

Beacon of magic set gives a plus two artifact bonus to DCs. The slavers 5 piece gives a plus four artifact bonus to DCs. If they stacked I would consider the robes. The crit chance on those robes is quite nice. You can go bladeforged and utilize sorc Capstone to remove the healing amp penalty and get the crit chance... ...we may see that if they fix damage casting. That way you can get some prr from armor at the cost of a feat. I'm very interested in DPS casting. As it stands though... ... the usefulness of DCs is very very high, and sorc casting speed doubles down on this. Dragonborn also have a spell pen advantage. They're also dragons...

nay will get around to it this week

I mean, better late than never.


Joking aside, have you found you like Sorc best for damage casting on lower difficulties as well, or are you still fond of your Queen's Gambit Shiradi Wizard for that?

The recent buffs to ranged and melee damage in ravenloft, make me think that Caster damage is a bad idea. When melee and ranged we're only doing 10k DPS on a perfect toon, I felt that 4k Caster DPS was acceptable. Now that they're doing 15K to 20k I feel like DC's are really the only option. The new robes with 10% crit chance don't really compare with 100 melee power half the time you can keep boosting. And that's just the tip of the iceberg when you have crazy shuirken bleed dots, weapons with + 20 base damage, and various fun set bonuses for fort bypass, melee power, and defense.

Finally someone that knows how to build right. I love sorc but I prefer drow then dragonborn. I like to stack spell resists as high as I can.

err...what? maybe you lack some perspective, there are newbies and less experience players with less time investment in gamming that have value un sorc casting time, but is far far far (can I say it again?) to be OP. I think reaper points are OP; try 10 skulls without them (as original intended) ; )
