Sorcerer
Welcome to my sorcerer guide (Maya.Keel). In this guide you’ll find everything you need to know about how to build, play and survive as a sorcerer on Tera console. If you follow this guide to the tee you are guaranteed to perform good and when perfected, you’ll be pulling 10+mil/s sustain in no time.
Glyph Guide:
Frost Sphere – Carving
Arcane Pulse – Haste, Empowered, Powerlinked, Slick, Keen
Meteor Strike – Carving, Fleetfoot, Hastened
Mana Barrier (If you do not have enough glyph points skip this skill) – Warding, Energetic
Lightning Strike – Carving, Persistent
Void Pulse – Carving, Power
Glacial Retreat – Energetic
Hail Storm – Carving
Warp Barrier – Energetic, Lingering
Mana Boost – Haste, Energetic, Lingering
Skillchains:
Right off the bat delete every single skill chain..
- Meteor Strike > Frost Sphere
- Hail Storm > Void Pulse
Or if you choose to do so, you can use no skill chains and instead add void pulse to your bar. Personally I prefer to have a few potions on my bar.
Gear Guide:
I’ll be showing you what my build is and the stats it boasts prebuffs.
You want to be aiming for +260 crit for a very comfortable experience. Crit cap is 280 on sorc so use lamb with priest.
Sorcs are MANA hungry if played properly.. This is an issue for sure but there are a few things you can do to ensure you don’t run out. When you frax your robe be sure to use Glistening Hardy Dyads x4 as they give 60mp each per back crit. Even with these you will still run out if your healer isn’t paying attention. Another item you can use is divine infusions, but this tactic can be expensive. The third option which happens to be what I use is an MP Dakuryon pet. He ensures u always have mana above 50% as long as he’s summoned and you have loads of Prime Replenishment pots.

Pre-Healer buff stats
With a Priest you’ll want to use a lamb to reach your 280 crit cap. With a mystic use a power buff for harder dungeons, don’t waste them in low level dungeons.
Stigma Guide:
6 ATK Stigmas – Run all damage increase rolls (Damage from behind, damage to enraged, increase damage)
1 Soul Stigma – Run Cooldown. At superior soul stigma try to get at least a double CD roll.
Rotation Guide:
Prefight try to build 19 stacks of Abyssal Draw if you have full Abyssal accessories.
Buffs that you should be using are Prime Battle Solution, Bravery, Blue Noctinium. If in a hard mode dungeon use a power buff with a mystic.
Engaging Boss (Big Burn):
Glacial Retreat > Hail Storm > Void Pulse > Implosion > Burn Brooch > Jaunt > Mana Boost > Arcane Pulse > Lance > Lightning x1 > Meteor > Frost Sphere > FUSION, Repeat x3-x4
Out of Burn:
Hail > Void > Arcane > Lance > Lightning x2-3, Meteor, Frost, Fusion, Repeat.
Pop mana boost on enrage and continue burn rotation.
Survivability:
Sorcs may look pretty squishy but they can actually be very hard to kill if played properly. They have 4 iframes and a shield. Warp Barrier being one of the strongest iframes in the game it can be used on a variety of mechs. But be warned it cannot fully replace teleport jaunt as an iframe, as warp barrier cannot dodge some mechs. Use Mana barrier when you know you’re gonna get hit by something hard. This combined with Kaia’s is very strong..
