She is a dark magic user with a mixture of mid-range to melee skills. The Sorceress class uses an Amulet as their primary weapon and Talisman as their secondary weapon. At level 56, Sorceress unlocks their awakening weapon which is a Scythe. The Sorceress class uses mostly melee range spins and slashes with her Scythe, as well as some ranged abilities and massive AoEs. Sorceress is top tier in 1v1 and 1vx situations because of her many iframe abilities and ability to kite and engage only when it favours her. You may find them difficult to play and even harder to master because of their low defense. Getting caught or messing up your skills in PvP can result in a very quick and painful death. They aren’t as strong in node wars and sieges, so you will want to kite and try to pick out solo targets. Sorceress is highly effective in flank/flex groups in nodewars and that is their main role in larger PVP. Sorceress Succession can be unlocked after level 56 after speaking to the Black Spirit and completing the Succession quest under the suggestions tab. This will give you a totally seperate skill tree that enhances your main hand skills and only has a few awakening skills. Your awakening weapon still effects your succession damage but is not as much of a priority. You can get away with using a Green/Blue grade TRI Ultimate weapon without losing too much damage. This is because only 30% of your Awakening AP is applied to the damage of Succession skills, as well as the additional item stats, such as Human/Species Damage and Accuracy. Succession is considered better in general for PVE at end game. Like with most classes, succession pulls higher trash loot in end game spots but until then Awakening will perform better. For 1v1 and 1vx, awakening is better while Succession is better for larger scale PVP. Both options are completely viable though and it isn’t too skill point heavy that a new player can’t begin with succession straight away. The Sorceress can effectively control the battlefield with dark magic by using both melee and ranged attacks. They lure enemies with ranged magic and lead them to a chaotic and painful demise once they come closer. Other races revere and fear the sorceresses. After Awakening, they can use dark magic to shroud themselves in darkness, and use a giant Scythe to cut down their enemies. tags: awakening vs succession, heedun sorceress guide, is sorceress worth playing in 2020, bdo sorc guide
