I got baited by Kripparian into being a Firewall Sorc and while he is obviously able to pull it off, I have to admit that I am totally trash at it.

So if you are struggling like me, do yourself a favor and play Ice Shards Sorc. It's so much easier and just as strong.

Arc lash+chain lightning is also pretty decent.

Had fun with this for a bit, but drops pushed me to ice shards. Just so much more damage to frozen/vulnerable/chill gear than crit chance. And if you’re going to focus on frozen and vulnerable, which is just about required imo, stacking ice shards levels makes the most sense due to its enchantment.

Why arc lash? Seems like you should be moving of you're in melee range?

At lower levels ice armor is more than enough to stand in the middle of packs. Combine with barrier and damage reduction from teleport and you’re pretty tanky for about six seconds. Arc lash has no maximum number of targets and has the most DPS of the basic skills, especially for crit builds. lightning, jump in, arc lash until mana is back, jump out and repeat.

I’m not so sure once you’re running WT4 content. I’m not that far yet.

For leveling it's great for stun and proccung ultimate.
