Having played many lives as a Warforged Sorcerer... I can say that they only really need ONE repair spell. So always keep one, and swap out for a better repair spell all the way until the Reconstruct spell becomes available. Then you are set. Warforged Sorcs are very very difficult to kill.
Sonic blast best spell you can't change my mind. Lvl 1 spell that stays all throughout leveling process as a 4sp barrel-breaking king. A low-level stunner and long-range aoe killer. God I love sonic blast.
It's very fun. Important note, you can play this with any element or race, just swap the spells to the element you pick instead and keep sonic blast because it's busted.
Great video Strim, but as a seasoned player that also plays Sorc constantly, I prefer electric due to wings. I also go up the Falconry tree for additional speed and helpless damage. I have never had an issue with Evo DC so for 1-20 I prefer Necromany and instakills. Each life we run everything R4+ and the only real issue is the reduction in damage and reapers. But for the average player doing R1 sorcs, everything drops dead instantly. Good video, sorceress for me are the ultimate leveling toon.
I'm looking at some sorcerer build options for an iconic. Right now my best option looks like probably Scoundrel? Anyways, it means I won't be able to take 20 levels in Sorc, only 19 at the most. Is a caster sorc build still viable in your opinion without that elemental form? I don't really like Melee that much, I like nuking things so... I was wondering if I should try and make it work just knowing I'm gonna miss that great feat.
I forgot to put this in the video, but the secret is camouflages scrolls. You buy them from the divine scroll vendor level 1 in the market place and once you cast it you will remove the added visuals to your character until you log off/reapply them (like if you die). Say good by to Barkskin, Stoneskin, Goldskin, and elemental forms today! Get your camouflages scrolls
Did not know about that OP staff! I quess that explains my question why would you choose Water instead of Air savent. Is there anything similar for air savant? My wiki-fu did not find anything.
Im confused i just downloaded DDO today and made a dragonborn tried to setup all the stats as your build guide on the forum and all i don't have enough points to get 20 charisma
For lvl 8 spells; a poor choice, but I would still consider Suburst for the extra potential helpess damage at a pinch, and either Greater Shout for the daze or perhaps even better Trap the Soul install-kill (that doesnt have a deathblock check) as you get the +3 Conjuration DCs from Dragonborn.
Implement bonus doesnt increase anymore with spells like enchant weapon. Instead it gives bonus equal to ML of weapon. EDIT: it still does on some old weapons.
So when the domains were released, I was very excited about the idea of playing a water domain cleric. Why? This line here: "Your cold spells will use Positive Spell Power if it is higher. Your healing spells will use Cold Spell Power if it is higher." This idea was so cool to me, since I thought I could super stack positive spellpower for healing but use the cold spells you get from the domain + cold dragonborn dragonbreath and be this cool healer/dps combo thing. However, it turns out that the conversion effect doesn't apply to spell like abilities, only spells. As a result, since cleric doesn't get any cold spells at all, this line is actually useless. Since that time I haven't played a water domain. Maybe they will fix this bug in the future, but it is not this day.
First of all, does anyone know if draconic's T2 coalescence stacks with pierce resistance from any sorc tree and the quench effect that's on bottled rainstorm from the dryad raid? Total should give a 65 resistance bypass if they stack but i have no way of finding out if they actually stack. Currently playing my air sorc. Max charisma and con, then the rest in int for extra skill points. Air savant, eldritch knight and the rest in feydark for color spray and some extra mrr from nightshield and prr from shield (which happens to stack with the improved shield from eldritch knight). As far as destinies go, i spent most points in draconic for the evo DCs, dragon breath and that wellspring one. Running in prism, which even with monsters saving my spells, they still get damage from prism and stay good. Heals from primal avatar and you're done. Solo it's fun but not as good as in a group since my 4th life sorc hasn't been able to get super high evo DCs. Especially the sharn and feywild mobs have super high reflex saves. But it's been fun. Got a couple of raid items, a 4 piece autumn set for extra spell power, crit and spell points. I've never seen another air sorc since i made mine but it's really nice, so no idea why nobody is playing air sorcs. Chain lightning is what kills everything. Got a few lightning immune or resistant enemies? No problem, cast electric loop, strip them of their immunity and the cast chain lightning. Everything dies. Glacial wrath, mass hold monster, greater color spray and dancing sphere for cc. Rest of the spells are self buffs or damaging spells. Super fun, pretty strong. I just don't know why about 90% of the sorcs i see are using the draconic mantle. I've tried it but the damage isn't as good as prism. Also as far as elemental types, it's about 70% fire sorcs, probably 25% cold sorcs and the rest is air. Never tried fire but might do that next etr. First caster i made but never going back. It's so much fun.
Prism is basically just better, but also expensive if you want to split your points into other trees (like EA for healing) so some not take prism vs the draconic mantle. Draconic T2 does stack with the sorc pierce, but I have no idea if it stacks with rainstorm. Slaads have 50 All resist on EE, so jump into a Slaad heavy quest (like to curse the sky) and test it out. If you get 65 you should fully bypass and have orange numbers instead of yellow
I recently learned that Vanilla Ice had been running a show on HGTV where he did home flipping and renos for like 10 years which was a weird trip. It's called The Vanilla Ice Project and apparently he's been flipping houses since the 90s. Wild.
Not for me on this build. Heighten is good, but I found since I just went into evocation my DCs were always high enough. If you want to go into R10s I would definitely swap out a toughness for a heighten for sure.
Haven't played since 8 years, but sorc was definitely my favorite class! and I remember switching over to different elements throughout the levels. First levels > Cold. Niac's cold ray owns, and you get the SLA. Early game > Electric. Electric Loop SLA really takes over at this point Early Mid Game > Fire. Fire breath, Fireball, Scorching Ray, and the needed SLA's. At some point add DBFB to the arsenal. Cast all of these AoE's off cooldown and just melting groups is still my favorite sorc experience actually! Mid to Late Game > Electric again. ,Though fire is still king in the AoE damage department. This is the point where you will find much fire resistant enemies. Electric gets nice SLA's and Chain Lightning. Late Game > Cold. Polar Ray comes in, and Frost Lance is great too. The assortment is finalized with some much needed instakills such as Finger of Death and Circle of Death.
Nothing is really actually original. In ddo. Most casters builds are very similar set ups and feat selections, just because one guy out of thousands of players made a video on RUclips, doesn't mean strim is claiming as his original build Lol. Strimton just makes good guides for any one to follow

Is it still effective/worth using in higher level content?
Rip it got nerfed
@@ianjeffers6688 Yup, always fun when they break something that's been working for over 10 years >.>
It's still a good barrel-breaker, but no more enemy AoE
What do you use instead now at lower levels?
Thank you the quick release of this build! Gonna try it for sure, looks awesome.
It's very fun.

Do you have a build?
Doing this recording while doing the climb at the same time is such a great flex
Thank you for the good idea Friendo
The build need update?, or Still work in the newer version?

Nice trick with horse jumping the wall in wheloon... now I know!
Great video man, same quality as always. One question, how did you turn off the elemental form visual effects?

Vivace from dryad and the demigod has a +20% sonic spell crit damage

Im confused i just downloaded DDO today and made a dragonborn tried to setup all the stats as your build guide on the forum and all i don't have enough points to get 20 charisma
Do you use sonic blast still?
cold sorc r10?

every time i use cone of cold i get the taste of spearmint in my mouth
This sorcerer build was brought to you by the new 5 gum

Hey strim Tom would u please make a water domain cleric guide I could follow

@@Strimtomvery hilarious and something I’ve simply got to see 😂 thanks for the hot tips
No heighten feat?

Is it me or on the written guide the Water Savant tree points add up to more than 41?
If you play a Sorcerer Eldritch Knight, is it recommended you play multiclass for Fighter as well btw?
I wouldn't since you get medium armor and all the weapons from eldritch knight anyway
@@Strimtom are there any other classes that mutliclass well with sorcerer or wizard?
i never liked spell casters like wizards druids and sorcs... but maybe its worth a try.

This build looks super fun to play... but I don't want to be a dragonborn 😅
6:02 - They fixed this trick, alas. There's now an indivisible ceiling so you can't jump once you're on the roof.
And 10:20... whelp. RIP sonic blast.
The background music is very distracting
My son built this build months ago, YOU DID NOT COME UP WITH THIS.
lol ok
Well my dad made your son so there.
Wow, lack attantion do you.
