Is the Sorceress class good in Lost Ark?
The Sorceress class’ ability to deal high damage from long range through elemental AoE skill is next to none in Lost Ark, making her a great pick for many players looking for a long-range DPS class that can dish out monstrous amounts of damage in PvP or PvE.
The Sorceress class has two Identity Skills in Arcane Rupture and Blink. Arcane Rupture gives the Sorceress a powerful burst damage Skill that can be used as soon as she gets a 30% charge on her Identity Gauge. When used at 100%, Arcane Rupture turns into Arcane Torrent – an even more powerful burst Skill that also increases the Sorceress’ attack damage, increases cast speed, and reduces cooldowns on her other Skills.
Blink, on the other hand, gives the Sorceress a long-range teleport ability to help with mobility in battle. Given that the Sorceress is generally a more squishy class in Lost Ark, Blink is a nice Skill to have.
Should Sorceress Use the Igniter or Reflux Engraving?
The Igniter Sorceress build is arguably the most popular build for the Sorceress in Lost Ark but Reflux is good as well.
Igniter gives the Sorceress a 50% faster Skill Cooldown, increases Crit Rates by 25%, and improves Crit Damage by 50% whenever Arcane Rupture is active. Igniter essentially makes the Sorceress even more deadly, allowing by giving the class the ability to throw her powerful AoE skills more often and with higher damage output.
Reflux is the other Sorceress build that focuses more on giving the class permanent damage buffs and reduced cooldowns. However, the Reflux build completely disables Arcane Rupture as a tradeoff.
You can go for the Igniter build if you prefer having a burst window where you get an insane power boost every now and then in battle or you can just bypass Arcane Rupture and deal increased damage and get reduced cooldowns permanently.
