Sorceress class description

Gender: Female

Combat style: Medium or long range combat

Specialization: Arcane Magick - in one form, it increases the attack power and spellcasting speed, in another - allows for very long dodges (which also deal damage to the enemies in your way).

Her skills allow her to fight at close range, or even fully outside the combat zone, using her summoning spells - you only need to see where you aim. She uses the elements, which can apply different effects to her skills when upgraded. She has very high attack power, and almost all of her spells are aimed at fighting large enemy groups. Mobility is important in this class - dodging and running away from enemies with the amount of Health that the Sorceress has is the only way to survive.

Igniter build

Igniter is a build where you focus on filling the Identity Gauge to activate the Arcane Rapture state - Magick Amplification(it only works when the bar is full). During this state, cooldowns are reduced, crit power is increased by 50%, and a chance for them is increased by 25%. For this reason, you should focus on a few stronger offensive skills and some supporting which main task is building the gauge using runes. In this short time during Magick Amplification, you need to deal as much damage as possible, preferably also critical damage. The Igniter can do this very well, being a character dealing some of the highest damage in the game, but not necessarily the highest average DPS.

Engravings:

1. Igniter - the main Engraving introducing the Magick Amplification in the game.
2. All-Out of Attack - improves the damage of Casting and Holding by up to 20%, but also improves their casting speed.

Optional Engravings:

1. Hit Master - little benefits, but without any negative effects, increases damage (by max 16%)
2. Increased Mass - optional Engraving, which slows down your attacks. However, if you can fit in the time window, you will be able to deal up 20% extra damage.
3. Precise Dagger - increases the chance of crits at the expense of their strength. The choice depends on the battle stats.

Battle stats (Attributes):

1. Specialization - about 70% - huge boost to damage during Arcane Torrent.
2. Swiftness - about 30% - improves attack speed, movement speed, but also reduces cooldown. If you fit in the Arcane Torrent time window, you can put a few points in Crit.

Skills, tripods, and runes:

Frost's Call (7)	Enlightenment	Unstable Rule	Enhanced Strike	Wealth

Explosion (10)	Ignite	Weak Point Detection	Magick Amplification	Galewind
Doomsday (10)	Mind Enhancement	Asteroid	Magick Amplification	Galewind
Enviska's Might (Awakening)

Playstyle:

Building the Identity Gauge and using everything you have in the fight when the gauge is filled. The Specialization battle stat and Engraving Igniter significantly increase the damage you will deal the enemy during that time. The perfect time to do this is when you stun the enemy. This class is best in fights against slower bosses and might have some problems in PvE, so it's not recommended for beginners and low Tiers, where the damage isn't as high during the Arcane Torrent. Chose skills that do the highest damage, but also those you will be able to activate in a short time.

Reflux build

Compared to Igniter, Reflux allows for more freedom in creating the build. However, it is simply a "regular DPS", as Reflux Engraving prevents you from using Arcane Rapture (a state after filling a gauge during which you deal increased damage in a short time and cast spells faster). In return, your damage is permanently increased. To further increase efficiency, you need to develop character speed, spellcasting speed, and reduce cooldown. Note that despite removing Arcane Rapture, you can still use the stored magic energy to do a Blink.

Engravings:

1. Reflux - class Engraving that increases damage.
2. Precise Dagger - increases the chance of crit.

Optional Engravings:

1. Hit Master - increases normal damage with no negative effects,
2. Adrenaline - additional chance to critical damage and a small increase in attack power.
3. Increase Mass - slows your attacks in exchange for higher damage if you can't keep up with mana regeneration.
4. Raid Captain and Spirit Absorption - if you intend to use more Swiftness. Increase in mobility and normal damage, but at the expense of critical damage.

Battle stats (Attributes):

1. Crit - about 65% - you have a chance that almost every second attack is critical at higher levels
2. Swiftness - about 35% - you can use more Swiftness to make dodging easier, but also reduce cooldown and use Raid Captain Engraving efficiently.

Skills, tripods, and runes:

Skill	1st Tripod	2nd Tripod	3rd Tripod	Rune
Blaze (4)	Damage Amplification	Flame Explosion	Weak Point Detection	Bleed
Frost's Call (4)	Mind Enchancement	Unstable Rule	Final Strike	Wealth
Inferno (1)	Rift Acceleration	Charge Flame	Firepower Supplement	Quick Recharge
Punishing Strike (10)	Mind Enhancement	Unavoidable Fate	Final Strike	Galewind
Seraphic Hail (10)	Quick Prep	Additional Explosion	Weak Point Detection	Galewind
Rime Arrow (10)	Quick Prep	Piercing Strike	Ice Pick	Rage
Reverse Gravity (10)	Rift Acceleration	Lava Area	Weak Point Detection	Galewind
Esoteric Reaction (10)	Quick Prep	Final Strike	Stabilized Crystal	Galewind
Enviska's Might (Awakening)

Playstyle:

Reflux gives you a lot of freedom to choose skills. Because of potential mana problems, you may want to try lowering attack speed in favor of their strength or critical damage chance. Casting spells will become problematic, you will need runes to reduce casting time. In boss fights, it's worth using skills that let you stay far from the enemy because this class has little health.
