Sorceress BEGINNER GUIDE | Lost Ark Class Overview

in this video we're going to cover what it is to play the Sorceress the quintessential Mage archetype in Lost Ark they are known for being able to do a ton of damage safely from afar as well as control areas of the battlefield with their Elemental spells and status effects being a pure range DPS class that can do everything safely at a distance though this does make her a pretty squishy Target at the same time what they do lack in health and toughness they'll make up with their mobility and diversity of their skills that's because every single sock spell has an AOE component and many of them can wipe out mob groups in a single cast the sorceress's fire spells for example have destruction attached to them and the class has a respectable amount of stagger too many of their spells also have status effects attached to them such as burn freeze or a ledge Q which will definitely help you control that Battlefield some of the harder hitting spells are also used as primary single Target damage too and most major damage spells come with cast times although you can often expect to remove them for a slightly weaker damage output still stalks are an easy to pick up and very beginner friendly class because of their straightforward AOE heavy play style so if you're looking for a class that can do lots of damage through huge bursts or consistent damage spam while us being safe and far away look no further comparing the Sorceress to the other Mage classes it's by far the easiest to play and hence the one that does the most consistent damage when we compare the Sorceress to The Arcanist their playstyle is way harder due to her three split skill kit and her RNG card draw identity comparing these Sorcerers to The Bard it's obvious that The Bard lacks a lot more damage but it can make up for it with its utility unlike the other Mages The Bard is a support class while the sock is a pure damage Mage compared to those other range damage classes in the game though as a sawkill have a lot less Mobility but far more impactful spells that can control the battlefield as well as do just a lot of damage as sorceress you're all about building up your meter by dealing damage with your spells or consuming it with two identity spells these work like this you can activate your left ability Arcane rupture anytime you have 30 or more filled up this will give you increased casting speed and a good amount of damage on your spells on top if you even wait until your meter reaches 100 you'll go into a much more powerful state that amplifies that Effects by a lot in fact it's really not recommended to activate your left identity ability before you feel up your meter completely because of just how powerful your Arcane torrent is at 100 the other way to spend your Arcane meter is by using your right identity skill called blink this will spend 30 of your bar to instantly teleport you a very long distance so you can use this as a Mobility skill which can be used as both defensive or offensive Tools in PVE you're going to spend most of your time alternating between your instant casts and waiting for your windows to cast those bigger spells all depending on which playstyle and which spells you choose positioning and timing are key as you need to pay attention when you're using those Mobility skills to dodge bigger incoming damage or CC like boss attacks and because without the Sorceress your party will lose a huge source of damage in PvP it's best to stay away from spells with long casting times and focus more on spells that can do small amounts but consistent damage safely by combining consistent damage with the ability to control the battlefield through AOE status effects a good sorceress can really set the tempo for any match the bane of any sorceress though is a good Mobility melee sticking to you and chasing you down especially those pesky death blades that's why you're going to want to use your Mobility wisely and coordinate with your team as much as you can so you can make make sure you play from a safe distance and continue to be as effective with those instacursts let's take a look at those abilities then and start off with our core Fire Element spells the first one being doomsday nobody wants to play a fire Mage that can't drop a giant flaming rock on people right this is by far your hardest hitting spell and has plenty of stagger to boot be careful though as it has a long cast time and a delay on impact so you need to really understand the boss's attack patterns to reliably land this spell Blaze is a staple fire spell or Sorcerers used that may not be that exciting but it's pretty reliable it shoots a line of fire that is safe and easy to land on enemies whilst applying a burn over time effect on them it can also be recast fairly quickly and can amplify the damage of all of your spells which is another great bonus Inferno summons a pillar of flame that knocks up and burns all enemies hit on top of that this spell has respectable stagger and does good single Target and weak point damage your main Lightning Spell will be punishing strike this is what being a mage is all about as it lets you summon a giant thunder from the sky that does an insane amount of damage it's also great for both airwe and single Target as it has high built into it and lastly your main ice spell in seraphic hail which creates a huge wave to attack and push back all enemies multiple times in front of you it has a pretty short cooldown and can be cast often to mainly keep enemies away but also do some pretty good AOE damage too as with all lost out classes the Sorceress has access to two Awakening abilities starting with invisca's might this Awakening gathers power to do massive lightning damage to All Enemies around you it pulls opponents in and hits them repeatedly while staggering them to a giant Supernova finish in addition to that this powerful ability either makes you immune to all CC while you're casting then you've got that apocalypse call true to its name this Awakening makes your sock drop meteors from the sky that do massive damage to anyone they hit unfortunately though you have no control over where they land so there's a lot more RNG in how effective this spell will be for that reason most people using viscosmite exclusively since the RNG nature of Apocalypse cool makes it simply too unreliable every lost art class has access to Engravings that are going to focus your playstyle in one particular direction for Sorcerers you're gonna have to choose between reflux and igniter these are two completely different play Styles if you're focused on having some of the highest burst damage in the game the igniter sock is for you this engraving will heavily amplify the effects of your Arcane rupture identity skill giving you massive crit and crit damage the downside of this engraving though is that it needs you to know the boss mechanics extremely well because since all your hardest hitting skills have a cast time you will lose most of your damage if you missed your burst Windows upon activation when you choose this engraving any of those three damage stats will work for this build but focusing on specialization to build your meter faster and do more damage with your spells is the best you can go for although you get innate crit from Arcane rupture you can also always add more crit as your second stat so make sure you see those big numbers swiftness however is also a very good choice though as it helps you fit more spells into that bus window the reflux engraving completely removes your ability to use your Arcane rupture identity skill but it gives you increased damage and decreased cooldowns at all times what that means is you can use your entire identity bar on Blix this makes the build one of the most consistent and safe damage builds in the entire game with the local Downs you can spam those instant cars all day or use bigger crossbows if that's your style it just depends on what you are most comfortable with unlike the igniter build you need to be more careful with your secondary stats though specialization is not very useful for you since you don't need to build up your meter so your primary focus should be on crit with some swiftness secondly that should be everything that you need to
