Playstyle

The Sorcerer is a glass cannon that rewards positional discipline. Two elemental schools — fire and ice — combo together for amplified damage when alternated. Your power budget is huge but your HP and mobility are low. Every fight is a positioning puzzle: maximize range, freeze anything that threatens you, and never let enemies close the gap.
