1. Iirc, Fire damage triggers hit recovery more often than other damage types. If true, what are the conditions under which this happens (e.g. is it a Life vs. damage thing, or just an innate part of Fire damage)?
iirc , if your fire spell damage removes at least 1/12 (i am not 100% sure about this value) of the opponent's max hp , the opponent will go into hit recovery . the best you can spot this is by using Apocalypse oskill in a large pack of opponents

How is elemental sorc doing nowadays? I've been jumping from build to build, trying to find something enjoyable, not much success so far after 4 characters at 115. Yesterday I started a light/fire sorc, wondering if it has the potential of being any good. Forked lightning is alright, but Tstone is very unimpressive - 1p immersion deals more lmao. I could be using flamestrike instead I guess, but then focusing on 2 elements instead of one means less damage overall...

Anyway, the questions are: is light sorc any good, is fire a good 2nd tree to pick or should I go with something else, or just fuck it all and roll mana/melee sorc?

i haven't enjoyed a good elemental sorc (without summons) since quite long ago . it's ok-ish to level up to around 110 , but after that it's mediocre and eventualy crapy . she either does not deal enough damage or can't tank well enough . the hybrids have the most chances of success (ice elementals + Blade spirits + acid fiends + one main spell to spam ) , but not so fun/easy to play as you are keeping your fingers very busy casting + summoning all the time . Besides the melee and some mana builds , the sorceress elemental caster builds are not shining . And ofc. lightning is crap . besides the warp armor tu suit the melee , the other spells are far from what that skill tree is expected to do , i never consider it as an option when going as caster .

Well that sucks. Thank you though, saved me a lot of time and probably frustration as well. Gotta think of a different build then.

Kinda agree with Chuck's assessment. Elemental Caster Sorcs are playable, but seem dull atm. If you want a top-tier Sorc, go Mana. If you want something utilitarian, go Melee.

That said, I've been playing around with a Fire Sorc (Pyroblast). Doing the 115 Ubers atm and it's surprisingly decent so far. Boss-killing is fast, but farming/XP grinding is slow. Also, I think Ben- has been using a Cold Sorc (Abyss) successfully for awhile now.

You can not target farm items, but SSUs drop only from lvl117 areas and above. Duncraig has increased chance to drop sacred items.
