Fireball is an easy win.

Each class inPath of Exile 2comes with its strengths and weaknesses.

One class might exceed where others falter, but there is no perfect class.

We recommend usingFire and Electric spellsfor damage, whileIce spellsare for crowd control.

When playing Sorceress, you want to be always casting spells and mixing elements.

Sorceress also has great area-of-effect abilities like Flame Wall, Ice Nova, and Frost Wall.

Using area-of-effect spells is great but only do so when you have time to cast them.

If you see yourself trapped by a mob, freeze them and run for your life!

From the Level 1 skills, you should getFlame WallandIce Nova.

Both Flame Wall and Ice Nova are great utility skills.

when you land access to Level 5 spells, takeIncinerateandArc.

The first is a strong frontal cone attack that works well against single or multiple enemies.

Lastly, you want, among the Level 9 skills, to useFireballandFrost Wall.

Just spam Fireballs and they will give something!

At the same time, remember that you canrespec your characterand refund passive skills.

You will hardly find yourself out of mana in the first levels, so leave theMana Regeneration nodesfor later.

Practice Signsis right after damage-increasing skills in terms of priority.

For attribute nodes, you want to focus onIntelligence and Dexterity.

You need these attributes to meet the attribute requirements of pieces of equipment and weapons.

Still thinking about the basic needs of this build, you want to unlock a couple ofLife Recoupnodes.

These skills allow you to receive health based on the damage taken.

Despite your efforts to stay safe, enemies are going to land their attacks on you.

With this passive, your survivability increases.

Focus on getting passives that will increase the elemental damage of based on the staves you have equipped.

With these skills unlocked, you’re able to now customize your build according to your needs.

For Sorcerers, picking a staff also determines the kind of basic spell you have access to.

In addition, looking for the stat bonuses it offers and other suffixes is also important.

In terms of prefixes and suffixes, you want staves that come with at leastIncreased Spell DamageandMaximum Mana.

These are basic but extremely important stats for a weapon to justify its usage.

Other secondary options which are also quite good areMana Regeneration RateandIntelligence/Dexterity.

By carrying weapons with these stats, you have the chance to spend passive skill points in damage-focused nodes.

Runes should be put in your weapons as soon as possible.

They are an easy method to quickly increase your elemental damage without having to constantly look for new weapons.

TheDesert Runewill increase Fire damage when put in a weapon, while theStorm Runepumps your Lightning damage.

Your main goal is to look for body armour with thehighest Energy Shieldvalue but with important prefixes and suffixes.

The ones that allow you torecover life and manaby killing enemies are great.

They not only keep you alive but make it almost impossible for you to run out of mana.

Because it is situational, it’s important to have more than one option.

Runes are quite useful for armor too.

It’s a defensive rune that covers most situations.

We recommend something like theCrinsom Amulet of Talent, which increases regeneration per second and cast speed.

Any amulet you find that canincrease attributes, mana or life regeneration, and cast speedis a good option.

Investing in agood beltis quite important for every build in the game.

Besides the stats belts come with, they also determine how many charms you’re able to use.

Enjoy the power of elemental magic to save the world of Path of Exile 2!
