How To Maximize The Effectiveness Of Sorceress In Endgame In Path Of Exile 2 Early Access? – Build Details

In the popular Path Of Exile 2 Early Access some time ago, Sorceress and Witch became the choices of many players who love magic, but Sorceress, which focuses more on elemental damage, is better. However, because of the low defense and health of Sorceress in the game, you will focus on positioning, dodging, and healing when building the best build for it.

In the more difficult endgame, your Sorceress build will face greater challenges, with more complex mechanisms and more powerful enemies. If you are not careful, you will lose your desire to explore this game in endless death and rebirth. So here, this guide will introduce you to some gear, skills, and passive skills that you can choose for Sorceress Build to explore the endgame, so that you can safely and steadily get through this stage of the game.

Best Gear

When choosing gear for your Sorceress build, the first thing to look for is gear that can increase the character’s natural strengths, such as gear that increases mana, spell damage, spell critical chance, and casting speed.

In addition, since Sorceress can use two types of weapons, staves and wands, if you can find Enezun’s Charge Volatile Wand during exploration, you will get through the endgame more easily, because it will increase your spell damage and spell critical chance, and most importantly, it will help you drain the mana you need most from dead enemies.

For armor, gear that can provide Sorceress with high-energy shield focus, such as Expert Plumed Focus, can keep your build stable in the endgame and can cast more damaging skills.

However, it is important to note that since it is very difficult to farm these gears with better functions, you can spend some Exalted Orbs POE 2 before challenging some difficult game content to make the existing gear in your build have higher rarity and better affixes, to facilitate more comfortable and smoother exploration.

Best Skill Gems

For the skill gems in Sorceress build, you only need to focus on those that can provide you with more elemental damage, such as fire damage or frost damage. However, since in POE 2 you need to determine the skills you cast based on the skill gems you obtain during exploration, you cannot copy the best skill gems in your build exactly the same.

The following recommended skill gems will be equipped by the end of the game. In the early or mid-stage of the endgame, you can follow your exploration requirements and progress to develop a strategy that best suits the skill gems of Sorceress.

Flameblast

The first thing I want to introduce is Flameblast, which is one of the most powerful offensive spells you can learn at this stage after you get a level 13 Uncut Skill Gem when you reach level 52 and have 119 Intelligence.

Flameblast is essentially a channeled spell that can generate a circle of destructive energy around your character or the Solar Orb you cast. Then, the longer you channel it, the greater the ability of this ability to explode and the greater the damage it causes. However, you need to pay attention to your positioning when casting it to avoid the enemy damaging you during your charging process, which will interrupt the process.

As an auxiliary to Flameblast, you can choose Eye of Winter or Lightning Conduit for it. The ice damage cast by the former can be cleverly combined with the fire damage cast by Flameblast, causing irresistible damage to the enemy, while the latter can not only increase the fire damage ability of the original skill but also add another lightning damage element, which can instantly defeat those enemies with poor resistance.

Temporal Chains

You can also use Sorceress build to deal a lot of status effects to enemies, and Temporal Chains, which are converted from the level 13 Uncut Skill Gem, will greatly increase their effectiveness. It creates an AOE during the cast, curses enemies in range, and increases the number of status effects on all enemies, making them last longer.

In addition, Temporal Chains can be used to slow down enemies, which is not only good for dealing with more agile enemies but also for taking more time for your Sorceress to increase its defense and health. But this does not mean that it is a defensive skill. You still need to buy POE 2 Currency in advance when equipping this skill to make Sorceress more tanky and facilitate stable exploration.

Firestorm

As mentioned above, Sorceress has poor defense and health, so skill gems that provide crowd control can also be considered defensive build options, such as Firestorm, which requires level 41 to learn and only requires 95 Intelligence.

In fact, it is a powerful AOE skill that will cause some fire to fall from the sky after casting and set enemies in range on fire. If an enemy dies during Firestorm, the damage of the fire will be even greater.

Or if you want to make the clearing ability of this skill better, you can also equip some POE 2 Items in your build that can enhance the speed of fire damage, so that your build can clear everything that hinders your exploration in a very short time.

Best Passive Skills

Because all classes in POE 2 share a passive skill tree, you can choose any of the skill trees every time you unlock and upgrade passive skill points. But for Sorceress Build that challenges the endgame, you should pay more attention to the skill points in the upper half, because most of them are related to Intelligence, which will increase the power of the spells you cast.

Generally speaking, you can explore the skill points that can increase elemental damage, status effect infliction, mana, and Intelligence in a targeted manner. Similarly, since each player’s play style and strategy are different, you don’t have to copy the passive skills of Sorceress recommended here in your skill tree. Remember that your build mainly serves you, and you must not be limited to a fixed build idea.

Cremation/Glaciation/Electrical Amplification

Unlike skill gems, you need to confirm which type of elemental damage you need to specialize in the passive skill tree: if it is fire damage, then aim for Cremation at the top of the skill tree, which will make those enemies with fire resistance lose 18% of their resistance. Glaciation is more suitable for builds that want to cause Cold damage, while Electrical Amplification is more suitable for builds that focus on lightning damage.

Inescapable Cold

For Sorceress builds that focus on Cold damage, you may also need to pay attention to Inescapable Cold, which can provide you with 40% Freeze buildup and 20% Freeze duration, which will make the defense and damage capabilities of the glass cannon Sorceress stronger and more adaptable to the game difficulty in the endgame.

The above are some of the build options that Sorceress can choose in the endgame stage of POE 2. I hope that you can complete the exploration of this difficult game content with the help of the powerful build you have created, and get a very enjoyable gaming experience and more rewards from it!
