Practical notes
The Sorceress is a spell class strong with cold and fire, so pick one element and stack it. Invest in cast speed and crit for a smooth rotation. Keep a movement skill for repositioning against melee. Use exposure or penetration against resistant bosses. A Sorceress wins by layering elemental scaling into a relentless casting loop.
Respec cast speed if the loop stalls, because the Sorceress wins by repeating her spell faster than enemies can act.
