Sorcerer Leveling 100+

THis is how I did it on WL:

The only difference to Sorc is that I don't use Indulge (<3 Soul Drain) and use Crimson Rock instead of Psychic Wave in this video.

So nothing major really, I used the same setup when doing it on Sorc.

(You even see me nearly dieing at ~4min.)

so im a sorc now, level 100. i have psywave maxed and going for the ventus next. level 1 is enough?

 

where can i level now. Thor2->juperos->Scarabas-> NCT? can i solo these with my gear without kaahi? how expensive would it be

thor dungeon is unfriendly place for leveling

basically for all 3rd job character leveling default route nogg2->scaraba->NCT for solo

lowti-midti-highti-bio 4 for party

you can try others place, but not really good from my experience

it's pretty easy solo with sorcerer without kaahi, just switch your headgear with WPH/alarm combo and spam pumpkin for self heal 

actually why am i even wearing DR..i dont need it with kaahi do i? lol

tried nogg road. survive better but still die too much.

where can i safely level with kaahi at 101? apart from ti

Bro, when using DR, you are prone to 50% increase from elemental damage. That's why you are dying. do you wear elemental armor when lvling at nogg?? one more thing, did you use blinding mist when level at juperos? it will be very helpful to help minimize the damage

and try to get the event costume headgear. it will help you survive even more   by now, you can try pingucuila and vesper. not to mobby but at least......

yeah i had evil armor at nogg, and an immune dragon manteau. i ditched the deviling because of the elemental attacks. no i didn't use blinding mist. dont have it yet. didnt see people using it in videos either.

still wondering how they survive in those vids...

lol, you should be getting that when you're still a scholar... some may not using it... i'm not sure though...  how much vit do you have? you should be doing fine, it's normal to die

if i die once in awhile i understand. i die every time within my first kaahi, that is not normal. i have 35 vit. 11k hp with increase hp potion

as for my skill build, im going to do a reset soon since i didn't get enough points in earth spike and used fireball for high mage leveling.

how does this look? http://irowiki.org/~...rAkBaOdnkAbnIn1

Ive got cast reduction ventus, agni for fire endow (no other fire spells for a sorc so its important i feel), aqua 3 for endow and matk, all the Sorc AoEs maxed. I wanted to get warmer and elemental barrier (is the barrier any good?) when i need to/want to support.

how does it look?

From quickly looking at it:

Since you have neither Hindsight, nor Spell Fist (and spend too many skillpoints):

Cold Bolt 10 -> 1

Fire Bolt 10 -> 4 (if you want Fire Wall, which is nice to have) or 1 (if you don't want Fire Wall)

Soul Strike 10 -> 5 (Safety Wall pre)

Napalm Beat 5 -> 7 (Safety Wall pre)

Safety Wall 0 -> 10 (really, get this :v)

Cast Cancel 5 -> 1 (lvl 1 is more than enough)

Freecast 10 is also not really necessary, drop it to 1~3 if you really want it. Not that you really need it at higher levels, since your cast will be very fast anyways.

You could also think about getting Ventus to lvl 2, so you can endow Psychic Wave with wind element. Sometimes a bigger AoE comes in handy.

I don't see Elemental Action being useful and have no idea about Elemental Shield...

But I would get Spirit Cure, as this is the only way to heal your summons.

You also max all Endows and don't get Striking. Why? Striking is the only reason to max the endows, since it's boosted by every point you put into an endow.

Deluge and Volcano 5, but no Magnetic Earth? Magnetic Earth is what makes people want Sorcs for Bio4. Not to mention all the other times this skill is extremely useful.

You also do not need Increase SP rec 10. Lvl 1 is enough to unlock Indulge and with 3 leftover Mage points you can take it to 4. This gives you 6 leftover Sorc points to distribute as you like.

Considering the above I'd change the skillbuild to look like this: http://irowiki.org/~...FrAkCaNdBkA1In1

(I also moved 1 point from Dragonology to Fiber Lock. Yes there is the Evilspiritglove, but this way you don't need to change accessories.)

what would i use fiberlock for with no single target spells?

i get max endows because they impact the aoe damage. for example endow quake affects earth grave (i think).

definitely worth moving around points and getting magnetic earth tho

also, where shall i use safety wall in pvm/mvp?

how about this http://irowiki.org/~...rakCaNdBkAbnIn1

i still have maxed firebolt and cold bolt coz i have nothing else to spend the points on. better than lightening bolt..

also, what should my sorc skill order be while leveling?

what will i do with firewall and safety wall outside of mvp? even there, everything in this game has such high aspd..and with instacast and new uninterrupted casting lower headgear, whats the purpose

i figured out how to level with kaahi. i cant facetank everything under the sun like i can on my gx. i just need to moderate the crowds and it is pretty awesome!

too bad double xp just ended. xp is slow even at 103 in nogg without it.

im having fun with my sorc! thanks for all the input

learn how to mage :v

in terms of gears, i have a +11 crimson staff and a +9 CoD Caster at the moment.

Thinking of maining this sorc and reinvesting my monies. is tsod+skull cap with kk better than crimson rod? at what levels?

why is FAWs matk bonus so low?

never tried crimson staff, so IDK

which FAW matk bonus? if you are talking about the one that increase by 10 per stats, it is low. that's why it has enchant
 

irowiki says the matk increases by ONE per 20 int

any worthwhile cards for a +15 crimson staff? or just leave it uncarded? enhanced necromancer seems great but its not on this server yet i think

so what kind of card in a faw is good? antique book or raydric?

while soloing with kaahi, i dont use energy coat. will i need a raydric?

im thinking of going with an antique book card...

i acquired +9 temporal dex boots of sorcery. It says +5% matk, with 200 base matk that should be 10 matk. but im getting 2 extra matk when equipping these boots.

what gives?

Weapon : Nightmare Mimic & Big Ben

Dont forget your shield combo cards (Neo Punk & Nightmare Arclouse)

Garment : Antique Book (All Rounder), Nightmare Ancient Mummy (Boost Agni Summon User Fire endowed Pwave Damage Significantly, very useful to farm exp from Scaraba and Nightmare Scaraba cards)
