Ranged magic DPS with big burst and area damage.

Weapon

A spellbook.

Damage

Everything sets up one fully charged Hellfire.

How to Play Sorcerer

Fire for Damage, Ice for Control

Hellfire, Firestorm and Blaze carry your damage. Ice skills like Ice Chain and Winter's Shackles slow enemies down.

Get in Position, Then Burn

Let the tank settle the boss first. Then drop Fire Wall and Cold Storm right where it stands.

Charge Hellfire by Hand

Charge it fully every time and keep it on its own key, outside your macro.

Loop Your Cooldowns

Firestorm hits and Wish of Concentration shorten Hellfire's cooldown, so it comes back fast.

Keep Your MP High

Grace of Enhancement and Robe of Earth work best at high MP. Flame Arrow refills it.

A spellbook.

Should I put Hellfire in a macro?

No. Most players charge Hellfire by hand on its own key, so it always goes off at full charge.
