This guide outlines a Hydra Summoning Sorcerer leveling build. The strategy focuses on summoning our flaming wyrms to deal big damage while we keep safe. This leveling build serves as a streamlined introduction to the Sorcerer class. It centers entirely on the Hydra summon - a conjuration that deals great crit damage. By supporting it with Frost Nova for that sweet sweet vulnerable damage and keeping our barrier’s up you’ll be able to breeze through levels with this build. 

Gameplay Loop

This combat rotation is simple

• Initiate: Use Teleport to get up close

• Engage: Use your Frost Nova to freeze enemies around you

• Annihilate: Place your Hydras down on top of the frozen enemies and let them do the work

• Utility: As needed use your Ice Armor for defense and trigger Ice Blades on cooldown to provide additional vulnerable enemies and cooldown reduction to your other cooldown skills

What is this build for?

This build walks you through a basic skilltree build from Basic skills to your Key passive, setting you up for a simple structured build you can use to experience the game as a new player to the Sorcerer. This build can be enhanced further and can be played all the way to max level, however, the idea of the build is to help introduce players to the fundamental playstyle for the Sorcerer class. Once you reach the end of this build, you will be able to move towards any of our Sorcerer Endgame build guides with a solid amount of resources and hopefully gear drops to move towards max level.
