Experienced Sorcerer help needed

Recommended Posts

I'm leveling my new Sorc. in the madness tree, but had a quick question. Electric Induction (reduces cost of powers and increases force accuracy) from the healing tree and Seeping Darkness (increases force crit) from lightening seem like powers you'd always want for leveling. I was wondering if I should take them, and how early on I should do that? Mainly I'm asking do I take them early or wait till I fill out my madness tree? Thanks in advance for the help. I'm LOVING the Sorcerer so far!!!

It used to be that you did exactly that back in 1.0 (take the talents for 100 more force and lower cost of spells in the lightning tree). While leveling in 2.x, however, I can't see the accuracy and crit being more beneficial than points higher up in madness.

 

At low levels, it's probably not that bad, but when you start thinking about the relative value of a single talent point, it could really slow your leveling speed. Example, Death Field is a great talent and it really helps speed up your leveling. You can get that at level 20. But if you wait until level 24-26 just to get some accuracy and crit seems like a slow-down... the return on investment per point spent on those other skills is hard to justify. It would make 20-26 take quite a bit more time. Each tier above Death Field has skills that at-minimum are as good as +accuracy or +crit. I've been leaving out the lower-force-cost element because as far as I can tell, no one really has force problems while leveling.

 

TL;DR, stick with just Madness. It's probably not a huge amount better, but if your goal is to get over-46 ASAP (the point where you can start putting points in other trees), I think it'll save you a couple of hours.
