TenTonHammer had some really good advice on sorcs in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=73&t=12510
I suggest you give it a read, helped me lots for sure

[mitu]

nice guide!
should i focus on int, crit or defense?

[stillwaterww]

Int for your offense is your main stat, then wounds as a defensive stat and way to mitigate the damage that your backlashes do, after that crit is a very valuable stat for sorcs. Personally I'm not sure if crit might even be better then int at a certain breakpoint, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to tell you the specifics

Max your crit first, and make sure your wounds are above 500 (600 is even more ideal). Once your wounds are set (Talis or renown), stack the rest of your renown and Talis into Intel. Your backlash cannot be mitigated.

1.) Try and get 950 intel. Not only will this help your damage out but it will also help against you being disrupted. With a intel potion you should be close to soft cap.
2.) Next get crit up to 15-20% if possible. With the "Dark Magic" mechanic you should be fine. When you're able, try and push for 20-25% crit.
3.) Work on getting wounds.

This is a glass canon that I prefer to run. Other Sorcs are different.

Glass canon prefer all sorc play SC/RVR group . Play solo need def gear

Highly recommend finding a guild to run and learn with. In that process, you will likely find what build works best for you and the group you play with.

The recommendation here is one playing solo you develop a personal skill, playing in a party you lose it.
