Enchant Sorceress Guide

With the Patch 2.6 ranged weapon Enchant buff, there is a new insane Fire build in town. While this Sorceress build has always existed to some extent, it has never been THIS strong. The Enchant Sorceress (aka Enchantress) uses Demon Machine to melt her enemies with powerful, piercing projectiles. Farming Spots such as The Secret Cow Level and Stony Tomb are left completely scorched by her Enchant imbued Attack, even in High Player Count! With Flame Rift, Flickering Flame, and Infinity no area is off-limits. Everything burns!

Enchant Sorceress is also one of the most iconic support builds. A high Skill Level Enchant enables brand new Characters to fast-level with Raven Claw for its missile Area of Effect (AoE). Make public leveling games with The Secret Cow Level portal open and use Enchant on anyone that enters. Enchant can also make other melee or ranged Physical builds (such as Frenzy Barbarian, Zeal Paladin, Strafe Amazon, and Multiple Shot Amazon) crazy strong. The massive amount of Fire Damage it adds to a Mercenary's weapon has interesting applications as well (see the "Nova Enchant" Build Variant). There are several fun and effective ways to incorporate Enchant into a build. Try them all if you can!

Sunder Charm Setup

The Sunder Charm Setup is the same as the Standard Build, using Flame Rift to farm anywhere in the game. It increases your damage against Fire Immune monsters. To optimize this Sunder Charm you need as much -% Enemy Fire Resistance as possible. Socketing Fire Rainbow Facets into your gear, equipping Flickering Flame, and equipping Infinity on the Mercenary also accomplishes this. Flickering Flame alone counters the negative effect of Flame Rift.

Terror Zones

The new Terror Zone mechanic combined with Sunder Charms open up a wide range of farmable areas. The following list highlights the best and worst Terror Zones for this build. With the Sunder Charm Setup, more Terror Zones become accessible. Learn more about Terror Zones here and see how they stack up in our Terror Zone Tier List.

Setup

The Starter Support Enchant Sorceress achieves a solid mid-level Enchant with easy to acquire gear. It is a buff-only setup that is designed to provide support to newly-made Characters in the beginning of a Ladder. Using Raven Claw for its missile Area of Effect (AoE), new Characters can fast-level while imbued with a strong Enchant. The Starter variant does a decent job of empowering melee and ranged Physical attackers in general. This gear can also be used to pre-buff the offensive Enchant Sorceress builds for a massive damage boost (see the "Standard Bow Enchant" variant and beyond). Items such as Leaf, Enlightenment, Volcanic Circlet, Volcanic Amulet, and other cheap + to Skills gear go a long way in making this build effective.

Mercenary

A Mercenary isn't needed for a Support Enchant Sorceress.

Skills

The Starter Support Enchant Sorceress setup is only concerned with boosting Enchant's on-hit Fire Damage.

Put 1 Skill Point into each of the following Skills:
1. Teleport

Max out the following Skills in this order:
1. Enchant
2. Warmth
3. Fire Mastery

Attributes

Allocate enough Stat Points into Strength and Dexterity to wear all of your gear. Put all remaining Stat Points into Vitality.

Summary

  • Enchant grants Fire Damage to melee and ranged Physical attacks. It can be used to boost your own attacks, those of your Mercenary, and those of Party Members. Builds such as Frenzy Barbarian, Zeal Paladin, Strafe Amazon, and Multiple Shot Amazon benefit greatly from a powerful Enchant. Newly-made Characters using Raven Claw can fast-level in games with a Support Enchant Sorceress (see Build Variants).
  • In Patch 2.6, the combination of Demon Machine and Enchant is lethal, dealing more damage in many cases than a Fire Ball Sorceress. With Attack it pierces through through everything, destroying Low and High Player Count alike!
  • Stack 100% Pierce (using Razortail on top of Demon Machine) and achieve the 105% Faster Cast Rate Breakpoint on Weapon-Swap if possible on the Bow Enchant Sorceress. These stats make this build feel a lot more powerful and a lot less clunky.
  • With the help of Flame Rift, Flickering Flame, and Infinity on the Mercenary, the Bow Enchant Sorceress can efficiently farm almost any area in the game, including Terror Zones.
  • There are many ways to build an Enchantress. Try em' all!

We hope you enjoy this build! Burn through hordes of enemies; the crossbow meltation is real! Boost melee and ranged Characters to the max!

Good luck!
