Actually, the optimal way would be to play with Grudge and possibly Cursed Doll and you would take even more damage and heal even less with potions. You have to memorize the patterns and dodge them.
There are easy to understand video guides available for all guardians on Maxroll.
funny i find SF being more suishy than sorc
Any melee wil feel more squishy in Yoho fight. Tail slaps hurt a lot.
When it comes to sorc and ranged in general Yoho is fairly easy fight and you shouldn’t take much damage at all. dodge the charges wich are pretty easy to tell and stop dps and dodge meteros when they come up not worth squeezing dmg during those.
Because yoho has that unpredictable tail swipe that will take away 1/3 of your hp. Sorc can just stay at mid range just out of tail swipe range, and watch out for random rain.
Also SF doesn’t have paralysis immunity on 2 main dps skills, so there is that too.
The thing is, not everyone has that card set.
And yes, no one should take any char that has lvl 1 or 2 grudge at 1370 on yoho.
But i will also decline dps that use heavy armor, because I don’t want 9 min yoho.
You’ve inspired me. That’s it… I’m doing it… I’m putting Heavy Armor on my sorceress.
If it was my main, I might not. But I might max her out at 1400 so I’m not too concerned about not getting in parties. I’ll mostly be doing PUGs anyway.
And if I change my mind in a few months, by then, I’ll have learned the mechs better and hopefully won’t need it anymore.
nop sorc is squishy u can stay at range on yoho mostly to mitigate dmg u can avoid other then that just know what he does an act accordingly
DO NOT put heavy armor on your sorc its a waste of money resources and pheons/gold its a bad engraving that no one in the right mind should use except for supports and thats a BIG MAYBE as last engraving cus they have nothing else
One important question is, do you collect orbs that yoho pawns drop? Those reduce incoming damage by a lot and you must have 3 stacks at all times otherwise you are getting deleted, especially if you have grudge.
completely agree. been my experience too. even with heavy armor 3 and elegians touch it still feels too squishy. they do help a bit though, but not as much as they should be doing
I already have +9 Heavy Armor Engraving Books, so I’d just have to buy 2 accessories of +3 each to give it a shot. It’ll cost me less than 500 gold to pull it off. It’s worth a shot if it’ll reduce my rage in this game
you’re suppose to kill the little foxes to get defense stacks if it’s hurting
well what can i tell you other than good luck with it? people already told you and you even said using heavy armor on sorc is a bad idea. but yeah i guess whatever it’s your character after all but i don’t understand the point of making a thread if you’ll do what’s in your head anyways? if you knew the answers why even ask the questions?
more ilvl will unsquishy you. you can keep all the dps things.
How you going to recommend classes to faceroll ignoring mechs and not talk about the king himself the Blue Gunlancer?
Side note: Heavy Armor Bards are surprisingly beefy, and can tank almost any hit short of a wipe mechanic in end-game content, provided they have their abilities up.
I see you mentioned Heavy Armor, don’t go this engraving for Sorceress. It’s not worth it.
You have to learn his attacks and dodge these, be careful when you’re casting abilities to avoid getting hit in animation-lock. and don’t greed for DPS.
Being squishy is the trade for having massive DPS like a Sorceress.
On a sidenote, you could play Reflux sorceress which is easier as you can just spam abilities and use “Blink” to avoid attacks.
Dodging is the real answer, but ilvl and gearing and having higher quality armor helps as well.
First of all it’s Yoho! She has very bad design and so you tend to take more free damage on that one. There is a reason why we all want to get our chars out of Yoho hell! Secondly…sorc is a squishy class. Bear with her, she is really fun…build her up and enjoy! And get to 1415 at your earliest convenience.
No I main sorc, no changes needed.
I didn’t do what was in my head anyways. I referenced a post earlier in which the guy made good points.
And while people on here made lots of good points against HA, all of those points are for MAIN sorceresses, where you actually care about getting accepted into Valtan, Vykas, etc. I don’t care about that.
I’ve already set it up with 3x3, and it cost me about 400G - Might as well be free! Ran it on my guardians this morning and loved it.
I also took a few of the pointers from other people here, so I cut back on damage received there too. I get what people are saying - learn the mechs and you won’t need it, and sure, maybe after a few more weeks, I’ll get the hang of it and won’t need HA. And I can go right back to a more normal build, at no cost to me.
I don’t get why you’re upset about me creating a topic that generated a bunch of interesting discussion about the sorceress, raid techniques and optimal builds for different play-styles. If you don’t like it, move along.
