Mistfall Hunter's Sorcerer class has access to many spells for either damage or utility that can make any raid easier, especially in a team. This build will provide you with a powerful Sorcerer build that can easily dominate in PvP while minimizing risk so you can extract with a ton of good loot.
Solo Sorcerer Build
This build focuses on crowd-control and kiting using elemental spells like Windcraft, Flameblade, and Deep Freeze. Using your innate teleport dodge, you can easily kite melee players at a distance while having a sizable window to deal enough damage. While the build is meant for solo play, this will work just as well in trios.
The ideal spell combo for this build is casting Elemental Affinity first to get your Elemental Marks on target. Open the fight with Deep Freeze to inflict players with a slow, then approach and cast Flameblade for a quick burst of damage. While you're close, cast Windcraft to push them away and give yourself space.
For your utility spells, Arcane Armor gives you a bit of survivability in case a melee player gets a combo off you, and Shadow Veil to either escape from a bad fight or confuse an enemy mid-fight.

Talent Tree Choices
For your talent tree, you will need to get the following passives for maximum effect in PvP:
- Masterful Technique
- Increase Movement Speed after casting Elemental Magic
- Elemental Arcana
- Elemental spells trigger additional effects to targets based on the elemental type used to detonate an Elemental Mark
- Thunder spells chain lightning to enemies near the target with an Elemental Mark
- Fire spells apply a Magic DoT effect for a period of time
- Ice spells inflict Frozen to an Elemental Mark debuffed target
- Fire Bolt and Thunderstrike do not apply Elemental Marks if the cast time has not been completed
- Elemental Surge
- After applying an Elemental Arcana effect, gain a stack of Surge. While Surge is active, casting an elemental spell consumes a stack. When a Surge-empowered spell hits a target, it will immediately trigger an Elemental Arcana effect based on its elemental type.
- Deep Frost Embrace
- Reduces the base Energy cost of Deep Freeze
- Summon Flameblade
- Flameblade deals a portion of damage as True Damage, ignoring defenses.
- Rapid Flamestrike
- Fire Bolt deals partial True Damage
- Fire Bolt does not benefit from this effect if the cast time is incomplete.
- Hurricane
- Increases the knockback distance of Cryptic Cyclone
- Flexible Casting
- Increases Movement Speed while chanting.
Victory Wine Buffs
Assuming you have a Mortal Tonic that only gives you 2 Affixes, the best ones you should pick are the following:
- Elusive
- Decreases Dodge Energy cost
- Swift
- Increases Movement Speed while crouching, silent walking, aiming, and chanting.
If you have a Hero's Ale, Eloquence and Wise are your next best Affixes, as the former decreases your spell chant time and the latter increases your magic damage.
