Build Details & Information
Hello! I am Brother Chris and I have been playing Lost Ark since its western release in February 2022. This is meant to be an introductory guide to quickly get you up to speed for a raid/pve Igniter Sorceress so you can get to screaming DEMACI and dropping giant meteors.
Class Introduction
Igniter Sorceress is one of the best, if not the best burst class in Lost Ark.
Igniter has a very cyclical build-dump rotation
Pros
| Cons
|
Rotation
Igniter has two "phases" to their rotation, the build phase and the burst phase. The build phase has no real rotation, just prioritize the highest meter generating spells like
Frost's Call,
Rime Arrow, and
Esoteric Reaction. It is also okay to use
Punishing Strike and
Explosion to build meter, I typically would avoid using
Doomsday as it has a significant CD and in most cases unless a boss is doing a mechanic you will easily be able to build your meter before
Doomsday will be back up, and you want to try to delay
Arcane Rupture as little as possible. Also good to note that
Blaze is your damage amplifying ability to always try to have it available for the big burst of your
Arcane Rupture dump cycle.
The burst phase rotation would look something like this.
Blaze
Doomsday
Frost's Call
Arcane Rupture
Explosion
Punishing Strike
Rime Arrow
Esoteric Reaction
Frost's Call
Doomsday
This is your bread and butter double Doomsday burst dump. In order to be able to get 2 off in one
Arcane Rupture you need at minimum a level 7 cooldown gem, though I wouldn't go any less than a level 8 - even then it can be a bit close and sometimes if you delay it even a half second it can not hit during the
Igniter window.
Engravings
The engraving build I have listed here is one of the meta builds, I will also throw in alternatives as there are a few options for Igniter
Engraving priority would be something like Igniter >
All-Out Attack >
Grudge >
Hit Master >
Adrenaline
There are two reasonable alternate engraving choices you can run if you dislike Adrenaline. You can replace it with either
Cursed Doll for more overall consistent damage or
Precise Dagger to retain some of that crit you're losing by dropping
Adrenaline.
Stats
Very straightforward spec/crit split for Igniter Sorceress. Like most spec classes we are starved for crit unfortunately. I would suggest trying to get as much quality as is reasonable for the highest amount of spec you can.
Specialization: 1700
Crit: 550
Is what I have on my Sorc, this is with relic accessories and a bracelet and all potions unlocked from horizontal content.
Relic Set
Igniter has two viable relic set choices, but for this guide we will be using the Nightmare set. There exists another build that utilizes Hallucination but there are also some modifications to engravings to follow with that change.
Skills
There is pretty much no flexibility with skills on Igniter sorc. All the skills are here for a good reason, generally the only skill you'll be swapping is your counter,
Squall can be swapped into
Inferno on encounters where you don't need a counter for more meter generation and weak point.
Runes
Runes are pretty important for Igniter as getting wealth runes on your big meter builders is imperative to reduce the "build" phase of your cycle. Use the best wealth runes you have access to, and prioritize them to unlock.
Card Sets
Igniter can make good use of
Lostwind Cliff due to missing crit and said card set gives a nice flat 7% crit rate.
As always for most raw damage if you have Light of Salvation 18 awakening, feel free to run that.
