Noob Question about RDPS rotations at end-game

[seldane]

I'm trying to decide between a couple classes, but I don't really know what they play like at end-game

Bright Wizard, Squig Herder, and Sorceress

What are the rotations? For Sorceress I read it was Chillwind->Word of Pain->Arctic Blast->Gloomburst. how complicated is that compared to Squig and BW?

Thanks!

Chillwind->Word of Pain->Arctic Blast->Gloomburst->Impending Doom->1 or 2 tics of Hand of Ruin

BW rotation is really similar, as most of the skills involved are mirrored. These classes are all about burst and timing everything to hit inside a 2-3s window (right after gloomburst in your rotation).

I'm not too sure about SH, as I've never player one.

Do NOT roll a sorc, they are complete garbage at the moment. Bright wizard is exellent because you have flashfire to compensate for the loss of burst from disrupts and a lot more instant spells that give you burst outside of your rotation.

Right now sorc being tied to playing around word of pain is unplayable since it is very likely to be disrupted, and when this happens you loose all killing power. And as for AoE sorc has nothing now that Infernal wave is not spammable, while BW has a lot more applicable damage and instant fiery blasts every 3 seconds.

As for comparing the two to squigs, squig is essentially just two dots, spam filler and finisher when appropriate. Bombing with squig is just spamming one button for constant pressure, it's boring but reeeally effective when done right in a good warband setup. That being said SW is way better than squig for bombing having way higher damage, 25% more crit and m2/m3 which squig lacks breaking balance pretty hard for bombing.

sorcerer is the most pathetic class atm. any range dps will down you in global cooldowns.
I had it level 40 and abandoned it ince 1 year because in t4 you kill yousrelf with game mechanic and unless you get ward and heals (no one put guard on ranged btw good luck on that) you are basically a free kill.

With my engie now i global sorcerers in no tme during siege so avoid it. SH on tha other hand is very powreful. I see many SH dealing lot of damge in little time and in t4 especaially they are very ehlpful in sieges.
