apex sorcery to me feels like a must, the movement penalty is minimized with the jump then cast technique, and the double damage is insane, many spells cast quick enough you nearly done when you land, at least non merged, but the merged ones hit sooo hard
I mean I tried it but for solos it either felt super good or super bad pretty much, if I ever got into a good position or engagement to land an elemental blast or flamefrost spear and the person legit just fell over from it then it felt great but id say like 90% of the time I had better success just playing the other build without those perks and running around starting with lava elemental into spamming flame arrow and windblast.
I used Eruption for the first time in the Ice Caves and accidentally launched the kobold right onto my head. Almost died to it because I was laughing too hard.
I think sorcerer is the most fun class in dark and darker, also because i play with a friend and we had some funny moments together (e.g i accedentally launched him in the air). the first thing i noticed is that some things arent current status (sry for my bad english). Time Distortion for eg only increases cooldown time by 4. But i liked the video very much :D
Long time no see bois! 💙 - Sorcerer feels like it has the potential to be an INSANELY strong class (not including the bugs currently happening that result in one shots and stuff) and also probably be the highest skill ceiling class in the game. Good luck in your early wipe adventures! - Also, I talk a a bit about what spells Ive been using and what order and stuff like that towards the end of the video so be sure to check that out but the TLDR is Lava Golem then spam Fire arrow, Water Bolt and Windblast.
Hrmm based on you saying that I’ll have to try that combo out some more. I did try it but it didn’t feel amazing to me at least in solos cause if you miss you end up with like a 30 second cooldown for frostflame spear or 15 second for elemental bolt or the spells that build them. In time though the meta is surely going to develop and I wouldn’t be surprised if that combo maybe becomes bussin for duos and trios or just a gimmicky build for solos.
for me i think time distortion is cool, mainly bc if anyone gets in melee i can insta cast vortex and get safe. just gotta stack stuff for less cooldowns to cicumvent its weakness
Yeah that aligns with kind of what I was feeling about the perk, initially it didnt really feel good to me because the playstyle that was working so well for me in solos was just lava elemental into spamming flame arrow and windblast but I could imagine that once people have more time to test and figure out the best spell setups and gear setups that time distortion might end up being meta, especially in group play.
Perk build: Apex, time, and mana fold = insta cast & merge + one hit kills. 2x Damage, no cast time, 3.75x cooldown increase, immobilization. Downsides? immobilized for a brief time when insta-casting/aiming Cooldowns are nuts so you only get a couple of insane casts until 14 seconds later, if you have a teammate who can tank or distract for the perfect shot, it goes nuts. so equip lightning storm, flame frost, elemental bolt, and another of your choice
Yeah I think if I had been able to do some testing in duos and trios I might have had a different opinion of that perk combination but in solos I was having so much success with just running around starting with lava elemental into spamming flame arrow and windblast that when I did try the combo and all of a sudden my cooldowns were crazy long it felt really bad to me in solos. I also wasnt aware of/using the lightning storm spell since it sounded ass for solos, but Im pretty sure its just bugged right now making it insanely op.
@@VinisKitchen22 its not bugged, its just apex double scaling it. Its normally 15 (or 10?) dps, but since apex doubles the damage AND increases cast speed (faster ticks) it scales it really hard
I would try them both but I would probably recommend Warlock as your like main character, the sorcerer is still a major work in progress and is also not new player friendly. The Warlock is complete and is also very new player friendly :)
PSA: Lightning Storm is Bugged and is doing massively unethical damage currently.
is it fixed yet?
@@AD3X_ Yep

Happened to me hust a few hours ago lol
In Goblin Caves I accidentally launched a mummy in the mummy hallway through the hole in the roof to the floor above lol!

He has returned 🔥🔥🔥
👊
apex of sorcery is op alows you to one shot if combined with time distortion making the movement penalty negligible as you can bhop then instacast

I literally got one-tapped by just such a Sorcerer earlier. It's definitely one to look out for.

I like the range perk wirh lightning bolt. Very effective to deal with runners
Absolutely! The lightning bolt is a game-changer for taking down the runners. Glad you find it effective!
great guide, thanks!
Thanks brotha! 🙏
Welcome back to DaD. How you liking the wipe?
Perk build: Apex, time, and mana fold = insta cast & merge + one hit kills.
2x Damage, no cast time, 3.75x cooldown increase, immobilization.
Downsides?
immobilized for a brief time when insta-casting/aiming
Cooldowns are nuts so you only get a couple of insane casts until 14 seconds later, if you have a teammate who can tank or distract for the perfect shot, it goes nuts.
so equip lightning storm, flame frost, elemental bolt, and another of your choice
Tbh i think the mana fold/time distortion interaction is additive so its a 4,75x multiplier on the cooldowns
Yeah I think if I had been able to do some testing in duos and trios I might have had a different opinion of that perk combination but in solos I was having so much success with just running around starting with lava elemental into spamming flame arrow and windblast that when I did try the combo and all of a sudden my cooldowns were crazy long it felt really bad to me in solos. I also wasnt aware of/using the lightning storm spell since it sounded ass for solos, but Im pretty sure its just bugged right now making it insanely op.

Welcome home Vini!
Appreciate that brotha!
btw whats that car/engine in your profile picture?
I guess mana fold is a typo? Increase spell casting speed Instead of reduce…
If it said "casting time" then yea should be reduced. But increasing the speed means faster
How can you walk and cast magic
Mine just standing
Weird, any caster is able to move while casting. Maybe you have the perk equipped that reduces movement speed by 99 percent
Anyone else get stuck in casting on sorcerer??? How do i get out of it.
Thats just a bug, the dev said it should be fixed in the next patch :)
Try hitting your stuck hand into a wall
Should I pick this or Warlock as a player who's just installing for the first time?
I would try them both but I would probably recommend Warlock as your like main character, the sorcerer is still a major work in progress and is also not new player friendly. The Warlock is complete and is also very new player friendly :)
I did levitate and lightning storm
That sounds pretty disgustingly good in duos and trios if youre able to land the combo
