Sorc IA build help

lardvader · December 2024

Hi all,

I've been looking for a IA sorc build for higher arcs. I've farmed out leeching plate the last few days but not sure what to pair with.

It's not for leaderboards but just to farm out the book. I need multiple sets for PvP as it turnes out

Already have both a warden and dk geared for it but I really like my sorc.

Any help is really appreciated

Best combo I've found for the higher levels is Heartland Conqueror + Torug's Pact. Infused backbar with weakening glyph, charged frontbar with poison glyph. Build a tank, 5pc heavy armor. Prioritize Focused Efforts vision for status effect damage and Attuned Enchantments for an even stronger weakening glyph. Works on any class really, Marauders aren't nearly as scary like that.

Honestly, I just farm IA on my heavy attack pet sorc. 5 Piece Seargants, 5 piece Macabre's Vintage, oakensoul, and 1 piece Valkyn Skoria for extra pen. Depending on my RNG, this build takes me easily into the 6th arc, which is plenty for me since I've already been beyond Arc 9 and don't really care to go there again.

Sure, you'll have a few runs with bad RNG and your runs will end early as a result, but I'm fine with that because the runs go by so fast. I can get to Arc 3 in about a half hour or so on a really good run.

This one sounds great! What weigths, traits and cp are you running?

Arc4 is prob as far as I want to go. Just want to farm out the sets and leads.

For weights, I have the seargants curiass for the chest, so that is 1 piece heavy. If I wanted to go really sweaty, I'd probably also add the seargants legs too, but I only roll with 1 heavy piece.

Macabre's vintage is medium, and its all on the body. I also wear 1 light Valkyn Skoria to get as much penetration as I can in the build.

All of my armor pieces are divine.

Jewelry is all bloodthirsty + increased spell damage. My lightning staff is precise with a flame glyph (I don't run lightning wall)

I don't know the name of the CP Nodes off the top of my head, but I use the one that increase light/heavy attack damage, Both 6% direct damage/single target damage nodes on the upper right side of the tree, plus wrathful strikes. You can flip one of these perks to exploiter if you have someone in your group providing off-balance but I find that when I try to provide it for myself, I don't have a great uptime and suffer a damage loss.

This setup won't parse as well as you would if you swapped Macabre for Order's Wrath or Storm Master, but for any content with a ton of trashmobs, this setup will wreck.

Heartland conqueror and Storm cursed is a lot of fun. Add in as many AoE lighting abilities as possible (Scribing soul burst, wield soul with Sorc mastery, mages guild scribing ability, liquid lightning etc).

Prioritize focused effort. Storm cursed has a chance to procs concussion on hit. It's a lot of fun. Group them up best you can for insane damage.

TYSM! This is perfect for my HA sorc that I run with seargant and order/noble/storm master. Been having a blast with macabre on a magplar so I farmed another set for my sorc over the last week.

Also TYSM for this one! Had to check it out - made this setup last night and will test it today. Mobs were melting while leveling up vapire last night.

This build looks promising to me. I've never tried to farm high Arcs in Infinite Archive, but I thought this looked promising.

No problem! I just took this sorc to the doorstep of Arc 7 earlier this week with a friend on his beastmaster warden. Neither builds were specifically set up for the archive, but with the right verses/visions, you can go far. The only thing that stopped us was unfortunate marauder rng.
