Last Build Update: February 5, 2026 – Update 48
The Sorcerer class is an excellent choice for newer players, or those who wish to have a straightforward, pleasant experience in the game. The base class utilizes shields, pets, and amazing self-heals; it’s as easy to deal a lot of damage as it is to stay alive for a long time. This post contains hybridized subclassing setups: one for standard PvE content and/or parsing, one for soloing, and a gear section for beginners.
