Wield the power of elemental magic with our Path of Exile 2 Sorceress build guide. Learn about the Sorceress's skills, ascendancies, and the best strategies to create a devastating spell-slinger.
Sorceress Overview
The Sorceress is an intelligence-based class specializing in elemental damage (fire, ice, and lightning). Similar to the Witch, but focused on direct damage rather than summons, she utilizes staves to manipulate elemental resistances, weakening enemies and boosting her own elemental power. While she lacks strong defenses, strategic spell usage like Arctic Armor can mitigate this weakness.
Ascendancies
- Stormweaver: Enhances casting speed, damage, and area-of-effect chilling and shocking, culminating in powerful Elemental Storms.
- Chronomancer: Manipulates time to reset cooldowns, slow enemies, and even freeze time, offering powerful defensive and offensive options.
Sorceress Skills
The Sorceress possesses a variety of AoE, single-target, and buff skills that synergize with her passive tree. *(A detailed list of skills could be added here, potentially using a collapsible or tabbed interface for better organization.)*
