Hello! So I have a Air Savant sorcerer (which I haven't TRed yet), and was wondering how you get your dc so high. I did start out not knowing that sorcerers use Charisma for spell casting, so my Charisma wasn't as high as it should be.
Thanks in advance!

nice build!!!!

Ooh, cool build. I love meeting good sorc nuker players. I'm a fan of the min maxing in the enhancement trees. Your gear was pretty unique as well. Do you find you don't need to take Heighten Spell as one of your feats?

The only spells i use are Delayed Fireball and Prismatic Spray, which are level 7 spells; Greater Shout and Sunburst, which are level 8; Meteor Swarn and Glacial Wrath, which are level 9 spells and wont be affected by Highten, so the Highten would only benefit me for 2 more Dcs on Delayed Fireball and Prismatic Spray and +1 for Greater Shout and Sunburst, so, not so useful.

I think your DC's are high enough that it doesn't matter. If someone didn't have all your PLs, they could go Black Satin Waist (+5 Qual Cha) and Leg Alch Shield (+2 Alch Charisma) for extra DC, right? Would lose the benefit of Ins Sheltering and stuff from direbear belt.

A few comments after playing well over 100 lives as a Sorc:
Skills:
Don’t bother putting more than 1 point into UMD, it is a charisma based skill you will always be good at it.
I usually dump extra points into heal & preform which adds to devotion & sonic spell power.
IMHO, Jump is exceptionally good at low levels.
Feats:
Don't waste 3 feats on Spell Focus, Improved Spell Focus, & Epic Spell when one Twist can do the same thing you are better off taking all 3 Mental Toughness feats.
I also take Empower, Heighten & Intensify for more DPS
Greater Ruin is amazing damage (20-30k) and is irresistible, but does burn up the mana bar, so save it for Orange & Red Named or Reapers.
Enhancements:
I really like the SLA fireball, it is almost free and does 2-5k AOE dam every time with full meta’s, perfect for finishing off the trash & when you run low on mana.
If you can get 31 points in Illusionist tree you get free enlarge which is very nice, not to mention 4 Charisma and other good caster goodies.
Epic Destiny:
You are missing out if you don’t take Energy Burst it is huge damage for very little mana, I will regularly hit for 30-50k.
Meld into Darkness is an often used get out of jail for free card, I highly recommend it.

Ill post my current build below.
