The Sorcerer is the best AoE (Area of Effect) damage-dealing class in the game, which is also what makes it so exceptional in PvP (Player vs. Player) alongside PvE (Player vs. Enemy). For those who love big magical explosions and fire, this is definitely the class to choose. Here are some of the best Tales Noir Sorcerer builds for those who do.
PvE Dungeon Build
Energy Nova Pyroblast Flame Purge Spell Blast Combustible Detonation Implosion
Energy Nova is one of the best skills for the Sorcerer, allowing them to deal consistent AoE (Area of Effect) Damage while Searing and Silencing enemies hit by it. This is a staple skill in any Sorcerer build. The Searing effect burns the target over time and increases the damage of certain abilities by a large amount if stacked up enough. Being able to silence Bosses can disrupt very strong abilities too, giving party members higher chances of survival in tough dungeons.
Pyroblast is another strong AoE ability but is more reliant on its short cooldowns to keep inflicting Sear stacks consistently. The damage this ability brings alone is enough to warrant taking it, but the synergy it adds for Sear stacking is invaluable as a Sorcerer with its 100% success rate.
Flame Purge has a long cooldown but it’s one of the most powerful AoE abilities for the Sorcerer when used properly. This skill immediately uses all Sear stacks available to multiply the Sear damage dealt by 5. However, if the Sear stacks are maxed out before using it, it multiplies its damage output by 7. This ability should be held and only used when absolutely needed due to its great burst damage potential.
Spell Blast is a pretty strong ability that deals AoE damage while having a chance to add Sear Stacks to the target. This skill’s cooldown is pretty short, which makes it very useful as a form of consistent damage output. However, players must channel the skill for a couple of seconds to be able to use it so they’ll need to ensure they’re safe before using this skill.

Combustible is a Passive Skill that increases the max number of Sear stacks applicable while also buffing the damage it deals. Since this build revolves heavily around applying Sear stacks and detonating them, this Passive makes the player’s job that much easier.
Detonation is a Passive Skill that increases Crit Rate. As a damage dealer, Crit Rate is one of the most important stats, since it increases the odds of dealing Crit damage. Crit damage amplifies damage output by a large amount, so players will want their Crit Rate to be as high as possible.
Implosion is a Passive Skill that increases players’ damage output when they land a Critical hit. This has great synergy with Detonation, which is why many players opt to take both Passive skills here. Players can never say they have too much damage, so why not have more?
PvP Damage Build
Energy Nova Falling Stars Black Hole Time Traversal Detonation
Energy Nova is the core damage skill for Sorcerers, dealing great AoE damage with a short cooldown and a Silencing effect. It also applies Sear Stacks, ensuring that players can keep their Sear Stacks maxed out for a maximized damage output.
Falling Stars deals continual AoE damage while slowing enemies’ Movement Speed. This skill is great to help Sorcerers kite against Melee-oriented enemies. Sorcerers can even place the skill on top of themselves, forcing their enemy to either run away until it wears off or take all of that damage.

Black Hole is one of the best skills the Sorcerer has for PvP since it deals a nice amount of AoE Damage while dragging all nearby enemies to the center of the skill. Sorcerer players can use this skill to help kite, or even set up their allies in Clan War battles for their most powerful attacks by locking the enemy in place, negating their ability to avoid incoming damage.
Time Traversal is the best mobility skill in the game and is what truly allows the Sorcerer to shine in PvP. This skill lets them blink to a nearby target location, breaking free from any CC (Crowd Control) effects, leaving behind a clone that deals damage to nearby targets. Players can then choose to swap places with the clone if they want to, which acts as a second teleport, in a sense. The mind games that can be created against other players in Arena or even Battlegrounds with this ability are simply amazing.
Detonation is a Passive skill that increases the Sorcerer’s Crit Rate. This skill is always useful regardless of the build because of how important Critical Hit Chance is to damage dealers like the Sorcerer.
