I was lookin at an MRR reducing setup for questing so that I can offhand affirmation. Then swap to Wave on bosses.
Game's busted for meta casters. You don't need to reduce MRR on anything but bosses. Trash just fucking melts.
Shifter howl with a blood feast swap for 1k HP, pop the 800 free HP enhancement thingy, arm dryad staff and cast call lightning which lasts 90 secs in R10 - now you're sitting at ~4,200 HP and then when the call lightning affirmation procs, ~5,200.
Wellspring of power with howl for 92% Crit chance and 190 multi (reaper and spell boosts if you really want to be overkill) Then lead with glacial wrath to helpless freeze everything (50% helpless Crit dmg on this build). Follow up with tsunami for solid damage and knock down anything that's not frozen. Finish with dragon breathe at level 48 and nothing will be left.
Despair reapers? Don't care. Veng reapers. Don't care either. If they are in a pack they get bursted down along with everything else - vengy buff doesn't matter. Stuff dies too fast. Dooms? Morph into a wolf and kite them down with uber move speed and DOTs.
If that's not working - lay down a salted sleet storm for 90 secs a cast in R10.
Archers being a pita? Lightning storm gives you 8 secs of deflect arrows.
This of course doesn't happen every quest - but, it happens most of the time and is pretty stupid broken.
Single target - yes, ice Sorc is likely gonna be better - but that's niche imo.
If you want to play a meta sorc nowadays, you're playing it as a DC casting tank. That build will outkill me and has better cc and can tank and heal. It's even more broken than shifter druid. Only weakness it has is boss DPS - it has none.
