Lore[]

As revolutionaries who sought and obtained the magic of the ancient dragons, Sorceresses wreak havoc on enemies by showering them with potent elemental magic. Although weak in close combat, a long range position allows them the space to utterly decimate their enemies.

The mistresses of magic are said to have descended from the dragons. There once was a time when only dragons could wield such arcane powers, but the Sorceresses have since learned to harness them as well. Their magic attacks can deal mortal blows to enemies, or conjure creatures from the nether world to battle in their stead.

"I clothe myself in the elements as one would a ballroom gown."

Playable Races[]

Only a pure descendent of the Elven race possess the grace and finess to be a Sorceress. An Elven Sorceress has chosen to align herself with nature and the ancient dragons.

Playstyle[]

Traditionally, Sorceresses are wielders of arcane and elemental magics, sometimes referred to as amber magic. In DKO, Sorceresses not only wield amber magic, but also dabble in bardic magic for the purpose of being able to induce sleep. They function primarily as DPS, but may also learn party support abilities.

Elemental Mastery[]

Sorceresses use high-impact elemental spells to burst down their enemies’ health. All four basic elements are employed in a Sorceress’ attacks: air, earth, water, and fire.

Air

Earth

Air spells invoke the powers of wind and lightning to damage opponents or temporarily boost the stats of party members.

Earth spells invoke the powers of earthquakes and sandstorms to damage or cripple opponents.

Water

Fire

Water spells invoke the powers of ice to damage opponents or temporarily boost the stats of party members.

Fire spells invoke the powers of solar flares and firestorms to cause recurring damage to opponents.

Other Spell Types[]

In addition to pure elemental damage and stat boosts, Sorceresses can also use their elemental knowledge to shield themselves from incoming damage.

Shields

Shields prevent a Sorceress from taking unnecesary damage if an enemy gets too close in the heat of battle.

Stat Distribution[]

  1. Wisdom
  2. Intellect
  3. Constitution
  4. Strength
  5. Dexterity

Sorceresses focus on Wisdom for an increase in their mana pool and mana regeneration, with a significant secondary preference in Intellect for spellpower increase.

Constitution, Strength, and Dexterity should be altogether ignored by a Sorceress, since they are physically very weak and possess no aptitude for physical combat.

Stat Primary Benefit Secondary Benefit
Strength (STR) +1 Attack +0.5 Critical
Dexterity (DEX) +5 Accuracy +5 Dodge
Constitution (CON) +15 Maximum Health +0.5 Health Regeneration
Intellect (INT) +6 Magic Attack +0.5 Magic Critical
Wisdom (WIS) +50 Maximum Mana +2.5 Mana Regeneration

Skill Trees[]

The two Sorceress skill trees can be categorized as Fire & Air (left) and Water & Earth (right). The Fire & Air tree focuses on area-of-effect (AoE) damage and damage-over-time (DoT) skills; the Water & Earth tree focuses on pet support and movement reduction skills.

Skill Builds[]

The Sorceress Farming build is intended to maximize damage while maintaining survivability. It focuses on high damage spells, spellpower boosts, high mana regeneration, and the tanking pet. Key skills include Lightning Storm, Elemental Adept, Summon Elemental, and Celerity.

The periodic spellcasting speed boost from Concentration may not seem like much, but over time it can greatly increase the Sorceress' effectiveness.

Build sorceress-2208

The Sorceress Glass Cannon build assumes that the Sorceress herself is not taking damage; instead, her role is purely to do as much damage as possible. Key skills include Solar Flare, Concentration, Firestorm, and Celerity.

Because of the level cap, neither Firestorm nor Celerity may be maxed out at this time. Further testing is needed to determine whether it is more beneficial to keep level 1 of both skills or sacrifice skill points in one for the other.

Build sorceress-2505

The major Sorceress PvP build focuses on high mana regeneration, shielding, movement speed reduction, and quick-cast quick-recharge damage spells. Key skills include Celerity, Earthbind, Frost Shield, and Haste.

While the elemental helper must be picked up to meet skill point requirements to progress through the skill tree, it is not crucial.
