Hello everyone,This is a fun build I have been waiting to post for a long time. I waited to post it because I played it on HC and it performed very well as a first lifer. As all sorcerers do. This is a build that I designed to work with the Half-elven greater dragon mark of the storm. And thanks to the new imbue system it has a little more fire power.
Purpose: this build can participate and dps in raids and r10 quests, the dps of the build is very high and the cc works very well. It is also easy to use and level solo.
Dragon Mark of storm. The first part of the mark is pretty boring. Giving you Gust of wind and electric loop for free. Its pretty MEH. but all the abilities here on this last stack with spell power and meta magics, and cost NO sp. they do not act as an SLA and can still be effected by anti-magic. The second half of the dragonmark is where the build truly shines. As a sorc you will now have access to Call Lightning, this again stacks with meta magics and spell power, and will proc any secondary affects your items or feats may have. And lastly the greater dragonmark is a buff that gives you +25 stacking electric/cold spell power, electric absorb and temp sp. The buff lasts for a time =to your character level and concentration skill. The buff stacks will any other bonus and effects your ED damages.
Half elf Dilettante warlock. The Half-elf feats offer a great unique twist on the normal way a class may play or gear. I used to take the paladin feat for the save, as saves are good. However, thanks to the new imbue the Warlock Dilettante feat now adds stacking FIRE dmg to your cold/electric spells. And that damage scales with Imbue die. So its a nice way around weaknesses and all damage types add up. Its also a nice tid bit of damage, but is not a game breaking amount. So if you wanted to take paladin for the saves that is more than ok. It wont ruin the build.

16 into the half elf tree for the greater dragonmark upgrades. I usualy fully upgrade the dragonmarks, then focus on getting 1 +2 cha and a few of the warlock upgrades for more imbue. You can go human linage and get a spell power boost for 30 seconds, or go elf for some skills and dex, the choice is yours. I use the spell power.41 into the Air savant tree, Focusing on charisma, electric spell power and crits, and lowering the sp cost of maximize and quicken. With tier 5 taking Awakening weakness, evocation, and the wind jump
15 points into Eldritch knight, for the imbue die, health, perma shield perma mage armor. You can also gain some arcane spell failure reduction in both the eldritch and the half elf tree. IF you chose the paladin Half-Elf feat put 15 into feydark for the sp/saves/perma shield and blur. No need to get the imbue die for the warlock feats.
Racial compleationist or racial past lives do compliment this build well, if you have extra points from tomes or pls, invest in the cold savant tree.
EDS:
Im not gona lie I am not gona tell you how to play your CC caster in end game, but I go Draconic as my main, Exalted as my secondary and my 3rd as unyielding for the LOH and health boost.
