If you choose to build a fire sorc (and want it to be viable) you have to accept that it is going to be pretty much the most expensive pvm character out there

No reason to go halfway


That was my hangup when I was considering it. I ended up going with nova because it's arguably cheaper and faster. It didn't hurt that I found a good deal on a scythe infinity.

Sure, but it depends on exactly how much you wanna min-max. The damage for like a 3/20/2os circlet + Sojs vs. FF and 2 FCR rings is essentially almost negligible, but can save you a LOT of FG not hunting for the circlet.

Very true, I would definitely go with FF unless I found a good circlet myself. I am making a fire druid so I might respect my sorc to fire once I get a Phoenix shield.

The FFs on good druid pelt bases can be NASTY too. Fire sorc has been a lot of fun, and it's refreshing to play something other than cold or light for once lol.

Playing something different is definitely a good motivation for going fire. I played nova last season and I like it but I'm already a little bored this time.

Nova is great everywhere, I rarely run into any problems. Souls are about it but they can be dealt with too.

30/30
Magi facet
Phoenix
3/20 2 facet circ
Mages
Arach
Aldurs
2/15+ ammy
Sojs

Merc
Infinity
Flickering flame
Armor is irrelevant. Coh gives some leech which adds survivability but it’s by no means necessary



Flickering flame/fcr ring setups do less damage than 3/20 sojs

Recommending any build with eschutas and ormus also must be a joke

Make a maxroll setup with this. I am pretty sure your setup loses against a vipermagi one with flickering flame. There is no need for 2/20 on a standard fire sorc either. Then you won't need aldurs on a sorc to cover for sunder :D 2x fire skillers can bring the damage higher.
