SMeta-definingThe current meta's strongest picks — damage or fight control strong enough to shape how raids play out.

The consensus best all-rounder: top-end ranged damage that clears mobs fast and threatens whole teams in a fight, with real escape tools when melee closes in. The trade is a glass-cannon body — positioning mistakes are lethal, which is why it isn't the beginner pick.

A directional read of the current patch as of July 30, 2026, not final balance — refreshed as the meta settles. See the full tier list for per-context ratings.

Base attributes

The Sorcerer's starting attribute block. Base stats are flat in this build — your level scaling comes from gear and talents, not the class itself. Every class starts with the same attack, defence, max health, so the class you pick changes what you can equip and cast — not your opening numbers.

How the Sorcerer compares

Tier list →

The two figures the game varies per class. Crit damage is the bonus damage a critical hit deals before any gear. Armor wear is the multiplier on how fast your armor loses durability when you take a hit — a lower number means gear lasts longer and costs less to keep running, so it is a repair-bill stat, not a damage-reduction one.

Sorcerer tips from the game

All lore & tips →

The game reserves these tips for Sorcerer players — the mechanics it expects you to know before you take the class into a raid.

Sorcerer Technique

Fire Bolt, Thunderstrike, Meteor Charm, and Stardust Torrent can be cast with a short press. Short presses don't consume Energy and instead cast a weaker version of the skill.

Sorcerer Technique

As a Sorcerer, you must choose between the Stardust Magic and Elemental Magic schools, depending on your preferred playstyle.

Sorcerer Technique

When casting combo skills using UI Wizard SwitchSkill Major/UI Wizard SwitchSkill Minor+UI Wizard Major Action/UI Wizard Minor Action as a Sorcerer, you can release UI Wizard SwitchSkill Major/UI Wizard SwitchSkill Minor once chanting begins and only need to hold UI Wizard Major Action/UI Wizard Minor Action to continue casting.
