Terek has been playing Last Epoch consistently since 2020, along with streaming and creating videos on YouTube. He fell in love with Last Epoch after putting too many hours into PoE and D3, so much so that he decided to speedrun it! He has been consistently pushing boundaries of what is possible in Last Epoch through his speedruns and has established most of the leveling strategies used today. Learn about Skills and Passives for the Mage Sorcerer Leveling Build.
Sorcerer Passives
Passives provide powerful effects that dictate the playstyle of a Class and its Masteries. Remember that you can allocate Passives in the first half of any Mastery regardless of the one you chose. Powerful skills and nodes are usually found in the masteries tree.
Don't spend any passive point past 20 points invested until you get your Mastery!
Skills
Fireball
Spec Fireball as your main damage skill until you unlock Glacier.
Glacier
Glacier is your main Damage Skill until you spec into Static Orb. It has insane Damage Multiplier Nodes like Greater Destruction, Morditas' Bane and Breaking Point. This setup focuses on enhancing its third massive explosion as much as possible.
Mana Strike
Use Mana Strike to regain Mana. The entire skill tree is focused around increasing the mana gained on hit with nodes like Arcanist's Blade, Mana Drain and Critical Mana.
Lightning Blast
Lightning Blast deals massive single target DPS thanks to Shattershock and Convergence. Make sure you have enough Shock and Chill chance to always benefit from Shattershock.
Static Orb
Static Orb is your main Damage Skill. It has great AoE thanks to Scatter Blast and big Damage Multipliers like Volatile Outburst or Storm Conductor. Static Armor ensures Lightning Aegis is always up.
Flame Ward
Flame Ward is a powerful Defensive Skill. The Damage Reduction it provides is significant. You are extremely tanky while it's active but its duration is short! Dual Aegis is a crucial Node, as it provides a second charge for the ability.
Teleport
Teleport is your Movement Skill. This setup also grants Elemental Resistances, Flat Armour and Stun Immunity for a duration on use. It also spawn a Mirror Images that taunts nearby monsters for 13s.
