Notable Passives:

1. Arcanist - increases your Intelligence which increases your Spell Damage, and grants additional Ward Retention and generation via Teleport spell

2. Arcane Flames - makes your Ignites also spread to additional nearby enemies greatly increasing your clear speed

3. Warden - grants increased Ward retention, reducing the rate at which your Ward declines over time. It's a very important stat which greatly increases your effective maximum Ward

Sorcerer Skill Tree (67 Points)

Notable Passives:

1. Pyromancer - grants extra Fire Damage and increases your chance to Ignite with Fire Spells

2. Inferno - grants high DoT bonuses which affect both your Ignite and Black Hole's damage

3. Arcane Insight - grants you extra Intelligence and a chance on Hit to gain Insight buff which increases your Elemental Damage and higher Ward Retention

4. Warder - generates Ward whenever you Hit an enemy with a Fire Spell, so with so many Fireballs fires, you will generate loads of Ward thanks to it

The choice of Passives on the Sorcerer's Skill Tree is rather straight-forward. You mainly focus on Intelligence (all Int Passives are allocated), Spell Damage, Elemental Damage, Fire Damage, and Chance to Ignite. 

Fireball - primary spammable spell used in this build. With the recommended Passives, you gain a very high chance to Ignite and maximize the number of projectiles fired with each cast. Each projectile has a chance to apply Ignite, which can stack indefinitely for insane Damage over Time. Also, by maximizing the number of projectiles you increase the proc-coefficiency of Flame Burst, which adds extra AoE damage.

Teleport - your main mobility skill which allows you to instantly teleport anywhere on the map. Used for faster progression and to kite incoming Attacks and Spells. Also, Teleport generates very high bonus Ward with each cast, so it should be used whenever off-cooldown.

Fire Shield - a must-have defensive Spell used in this build. Fire Shield increases your Elemental Resistances, generates Ward every second, and also has a chance to Ignite nearby enemies. It should be active at all times

Black Hole - in this setup, Black Hole creates two orbiting "holes" instead of one, which deal very high Fire Damage over Time. It also has its duration increased to generate high additional Ward. You should cast it whenever off cooldown, both against Bosses and bigger packs of monsters.

Focus - another must-have utility spell used in this build. It grants insane Mana Regen. while channeling as well as additional Ward and defensive bonuses. Fireball spam drains your Mana quickly and this build is very clunky without Focus - not to mention, your DoT still ticks while you are Focusing to replenish your Mana

Stat priority:

This build is heavily oriented on Fire Spell Damage and Damage over Time, which should be your main priority on items alongside Intelligence attribute. Intelligence, on top of increasing your damage, increases the amount of Ward generated by Teleport Spell.

1. Intelligence
2. Damage over Time
3. Fire Spell Damage
4. Cast Speed

I have personally picked up some Leech on the amulet, which increased the rate at which Exsanguinous generates your Ward but it's optional. Also, Stun Avoidance comes in handy, but in most cases, you should be able to teleport out from dangerous and crowded spots. 

Recommended Unique Items:

Exsanguinous - passively generates a lot of Ward, and grants high Spell Damage and Cast Speed bonuses. This is one of the core items used in this build

Calamity - grants insane damage bonuses by increasing your chance to Ignite with Fire Spells and Fire Spell Damage

Strands of Souls - grants simply MASSIVE amounts of Ward based on the Mana Spent. You also gain an insane Ward Retention bonus from it

Maehlin's Hubris - amazing pair of Gloves for Fire DoT builds. They grant high Fire Damage over Time bonus and extra Intelligence as well, making them exceptionally powerful for this build

Cinder Song - one of the best Wands for this build. It increases Fire Damage by a lot (up to 170%) and gives you two extra Fireball projectiles

Recommended Set Items:

The Invoker's Scorching Grasp grants a very high bonus to Fire Damage over Time. There is no need to obtain the other pieces of the set for this bonus, and currently, it's possible to wear two of those Rings. However, we expect it to be eventually impossible. We are not sure how it performs in the end-game, but it works exceptionally well while completing the Storyline and on lower level Monoliths and Arena

END NOTE

This is an early beta Ignite Fireball Sorcerer build for Last Epoch. We hope to have the Fireball projectiles logic improved, as this build carries a lot of end-game potential. If you have any suggestions on how we could improve it, let us know in the comments below.
