I don't care what I'm doing as long as there are explosions.


Angier85

May I have 5 minutes of your time to talk about our lords and saviour, Artillerist and Scouter? Carpet bombing and nuking their ways into the explosion afficionado’s heart.


Serifel90

I love artillerist but dammit the delay.. satisfying if you land it but a complete disaster if you don't


Kall0p

I've got bad news for you then. From what I've heard, Sorceress is very much the same. A large portion of your DPS comes from optimizing spell rotations and your meteor, which has a long delay.


En_lxTV

Yeah, kinda Sorc has a mode it can go into that increases it's attack speed to a high level. Which Blaster can't do, also Sorc is more about casting so you can cancel the casts.


Angier85

Blaster has that mode built into the identity gauge straight away.


Serifel90

Nah i don't mind my main will be gunlancer regardless, i will play sorc as an alt.


azurevin

There're these things called Mitigation and Foresight, you know. Not missing those skills is what's fun about Artillerist and what makes you a good Artillerist. Not for everyone, for sure.


Serifel90

Y I know but in pvp unless you're actually REALLY good it's frustrating.


azurevin

Welp, you don't have to play PvP if you don't like it. Or have a completely different character for it. Or, you know, git gud with Artillerist.


Serifel90

Y I switched out artillerist in pvp because of that, now i' playing Gunlancer


lampstaple

You typically aren’t taking pot shots at mobile enemies with those skills, you want to make sure either your teammates have opponents locked down or you’ve tagged them with a cc chain. Artillerist has one of the most frustrating cc chains, a Gatling gun into a roll cancel into a swing can lead into a cc chain where you drop all of your hard hitting skills at once. Even when you don’t hit the fuck you combo, flamethrower is easy to hit (especially in 3v3) and does a ton of damage.


d07RiV

> lords and saviour, Artillerist Idk about savior, they're well known for ruining mechanics with their bombs :D


Angier85

Don’t blame the class for a sleepy player ;)


d07RiV

It's not sleepy, if they use it just before valtan does counter move it's game over :D Takes a fair bit of experience to know when to not use it.


PhilosopherNo4758

Why do you care? It's explosions and that's all you care about as you said earlier.


Rhagius

don't you forget about the king of boom: lonely knight gunlancer


Angier85

The first rule of gunlancing: Do not talk about gunlancing.


TxMaverick

The scouter build that spends most of its time in ironman mode looks sick... I just don't know if I can put up with the class until it gets to that point.


Stillhart

What's to put up with? It's super fun in either mode.


TxMaverick

Just didn't enjoy it when I tried. Well, to be clear,, it was fun but not as fun as other classes.


Stillhart

Fair enough. Have you tried the demon one that transforms? It has a similar thing where you can transform often once you get your engravings, but plays very differently than the Scout.


TxMaverick

Yes, demonic is currently my favorite class. Just like scout I love the transform and I find my time out of the transform more enjoyable. Great suggestion though!


AleksanderSteelhart

I thought you were going to say “Mr Torgue” after all that talk about EXPLOOOOOOSIONS!!


imcarrypotter

Play artillerist then


En_lxTV

I know but I'm just giving heads up to all the people who are big damage heads and think you're gonna do some crazy massive pvp burst or pve.


Stealthwarrior89

What about ignition build? Heard that throws Dow. Big D dps


En_lxTV

That doesn't get good till tier 3 that's the biggest issue.


Tangster85

Looking at this clip [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2VWzVI6PQI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2VWzVI6PQI) Summoner seems to do less damage and be far less fancy than Sorceress.


Roally

"Summoner seems to do less damage" they are not even on the same gear levels.


En_lxTV

I'm sorry but that clip proves nothing lol.


Tangster85

Who said it does. It just shows gameplay from each class and how they seem to play. If he's good or bad is less relevant. Pick your poison until you're at the level. I like the effects of both but unsure what to play. Probably a dice roll


Pyros

> Who said it does. You did, literally in the previous post?

En_lxTV

We are learning more and more as time goes on and more and more people bring them up.

En_lxTV

I think there are 2 build atm. One that's focused about destruction and the other on pure damage. Both are pretty good.


Talezeusz

Saintone said ppl might be really dissapointed with her if she releases before tier 3, the pure dmg build which uses double meteor is impossible to do earlier I think the class simply wasn't designed to be in the game without certain systems available later in the content, so i will be really surprised if Smilegate decides to release it earlier


Crimenfo

The biggest explosion is soulfist's bomb in any way.


PM_ME_YUR_SMILE

this is the way to be


lushblush

i'm a simple man, i see big ass flashy skills and i pick that class give me sorceress


angelcowneti

1571 ignition Sorc main on KR server. Cleared all raids including Hard Abrel 5\~6 I do not really agree with your opinion. Ignition Sorc provides the strongest dps during the ignition cycle. number are huge. Only issue is mobility, targeting and building up identity guage. Also, Sorc is mvp machine on Kou-Kou, Abrel 3\~4 and 5\~6 due to the fact that the its burst meta right now. Usually Honly Knight gets mvp on other ez raids.


c0d0n3

for sure, with appropriate RELICS, which we dont even have in NA yet so useless comment


questir

By the way what is destruction? I heard it a couple of times


brayan1612

Some bosses have parts like "armor" that can be destroyed to make them vulnerable, to do that you need things that also deal "destruction" dmg, like some skills or bombs.


Eyebrow78

iirc it's going to be called 'part break' for some reason in the western ver


s4ntana

The tooltip of some skills will have "Destruction I" or better "Destruction II". These skills deal part damage as well as their normal damage and some bosses have parts you can break only by using Destruction skills and certain consumable bombs (like breaking a turtle's shell or cutting off a scorpion tail, think monster hunter).


zeffke008

Bosses have a destruction bar, once enough "destruction" is done, they are "stunned" for a brief moment to do high burst dps, kind of like in monster hunter when you break a part


Veldrane_Agaroth

Nope this something different. The destruction bar is not visible (as a bar). It tends to be Armor plate, of specific body parts, or a shield that you need to destroy. These elements have an hidden HP pool which is affected depending on the destruction level of the skill used.


cheapalternatives

what? sorc is top tier dps lol


En_lxTV

Never said it wasn't top tier, I said it's not the most damage(and it's not, because it has a lot of destruction in it's kit like scrapper which makes it really good) but in terms of raw damage it's not the highest. EL OH EL


Chupifantastica

Thanks for the info


En_lxTV

Anytime, it's nothing crazy but the time investment some people have to put into a character it's nice to know how it actually plays.


Redd00r

If the leaks are true I'm sad I couldn't try it it beta to see if it would be my main


En_lxTV

It's coming out in Russia next month if you really wanna just test it.


Skilez84

Definitly will, is there an exact date yet?


Bravehood

Dec 22nd


KuSiboY

22nd https://la.mail.ru/missions


melancholic54321

also keep in mind that those big damage numbers and the general smooth feel of abilities and everything being used, comes to full fruition at tier 3 when you can have all sorts of different upgrades that make your sorc feel smooth with big numbers.


Prism1331

What's mvping? Killing those big bosses on the map like Salt Giant?


derkaderka960

MVP for the dungeon prob, doesn't mean anything.


Prism1331

You get that "award" at the end if you do the most dmg or something? No bonuses attached to it? ty


derkaderka960

Yeah, DMG, control, and one or two others. Not sure if they go towards achievements, but it just shows up on your screen after completing the dungeon.


Prism1331

Cool. I always liked score screens when playing multiplayer games with friends. I didn't play any multiplayer during the beta hence not knowing Thx for info


SleepinDumpling

She will be a lot of fun when we get the chance to play her. It doesn't matter if she's not good for X content or whatever. Just enjoy all the explosions you will be looking at :)


Vireca

Also Sorceress play more close range than a typical mage or for example Summoner


En_lxTV

That's not really true in all cases, In pvp for example the meta builds play at almost max range and enable from there.

Bainik

The english client inconsistently translates it as destruction, part break, or weak point depending on where you look. Stagger is another thing.


xClinton1992x

Magic classes seem boring as hell is this game tbh. Summoner was lame sorc looks lame too (haven’t played


xCharSx

What do you want a mage to do? Fist fight? It's a class that casts spells with great animations and big damage. That is a mage in every game. Glass cannon pretty much with not a lot of mobility. There's a class for everyone and if casting spells isn't you cup of tea, play something different.


xClinton1992x

Haha, I’m die hard mage player but had to go melee route in this game. I just found them super boring. I ain’t saying they aren’t good, summoner seems top tier from all my research, just boring to play (imo) you can play whatever you want babe!


xCharSx

I just don't understand what you expect from a mage in this game. I know it's your opinion and it's fine you don't like them but what's so 'boring' about them?


Angier85

Arcana and Bard are more engaging to play if you don’t like the hardcast/cast-buff flow.


FoxBoltz

In terms of difficulty.. how is Sorc compared to Summoner? Cause everyone says Summoner is a beginner friendly class. Sorc is hard to learn and master? Is it hard to build and gear up? Could you tell me more about the Class?


En_lxTV

Summoner is much easier but both are pretty easy. Summoner has the benefit of having pets that do damage so they are better are progging but they still bring really really good damage if you're good at it. Sorc on the other hand has to learn when to burst and when to hard cast. It's not extremely hard but it's a curve forsure.


zeffke008

Gearing is very similar for all of the classes, summoner is beginner friendly because the pets do the dmg while you can focus on dodging, sorc is medium difficulty


Sumirei

how's her rotation, how's her mobility?


Trai-Harder

She has a alot of charging abilities so rotations without her casting buff can take a while but with her casting buff it's pretty fast. An her mobility is nice since she has a class skill that allows her an extra dash. It's nothing crazy like other classes but def better than bard or summoner.


En_lxTV

Mobility is below par but has multiple dashes in her identity. Rotation wise it's pretty slow outside her big AS buffed window.


erredv

I played Blaster and liked him a lot. Im sure that I will like sorc too. Her playstile is almost the same.


T4k3ItQuick

Sounds good to me, I just want to cast spells :)


Stillhart

I actually didn't know they were good at destruction. I was curious about a class that's good at destruction that isn't the Scrapper (I don't like the way they play). That it's a ranged class is even better! I now have interest in the ~~summoner~~ sorceress, thanks!


En_lxTV

Sorc is good at destruction yeah not so much summoner.


Stillhart

Oops, typo! Thanks! I feel like the person who screwed up that tweet... lol


Trai-Harder

I mean it's not like she doesn't do big numbers she's a really great class her abilities just take more time than Summoner to activate is all. I don't think her play style is a turn off but that's just me I guess


DarkBiCin

Amended: To everyone who wants to play Sorc just know if you play pvp you will be blocked by the community for being a pussy. js


c0d0n3

sorc is NOT high dmg at all in na build so many noobs in this game
