How the Build Works
Today we’re going over my update to the Flame Sorcerer. This is a continuation of my Flame Sorcerer leveling guide and is updated and changed for levels 50-75. I had some feedback that the leveling guide was falling off at the higher levels because you’re waiting for enemies to die from burn. These updates will help you blast through mobs quickly with fire damage.
Just scaling pure damage over time, like in the leveling guide, wasn’t cutting it anymore after level 50. So the first change is to select Fireball and we’ll be scaling Greater Fireball with burning damage over time. With our Enchantment slots, we’ll have fireballs exploding and these will also get the 10% burning damage. We’re pairing Fireball with a unique Gloves of the Illuminator which allows our fireball to explode causing more damage, which feeds more damage into our Fireball!
Full explanation in the video below, I highly recommend watching it for an in-depth breakdown of this Sorcerer build for levels 50-75.
