Sorceress | Character classes Black Desert Online Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Class description

Sorceress is a class that uses magic, but fights at close range. Unarguably, this one is the best class in 1 on1 duels in PvP. However, things do not look as well in group PvP, due to the scarce restraining skills. It is also perfect against monsters and thanks to the AoE skills, the class will easily win against larger groups of enemies. Sorceress is a difficult class, due to the low level of defense and low maneuverability. Just like the Ranger, Sorceress focuses mainly on attack, dodging and on combining skills.

Armoring

The main weapon of the Sorceress class is the amulet. Thanks to it, you will be dealing damage from magic at short distance. Combined with the secondary weapon - the talisman, it is the only right weapon to use. While leveling up and completing quests, you will be finding quite good armoring which you can well use up until the moment that you find something better. What is better is Yuria Amulet that is beyond compare in PvP and PvE. A more expensive and more reliable alternative is Liverto Amulet. Unfortunately, just like in the case of the previous classes, Liverto is very expensive and up until you earn enough silver, you will have to keep using Yuria. The Sorceress's secondary weapon is the talisman. One of the better talismans for this class is Krea Talisman, which has a high accuracy and defense factor. As an alternative, you can use Helrick Talisman which instead of defense bonus, provides you with attack bonus.

When it comes to armor, a good choice is Agerian set, which provides you with a bonus to speed of casting spells. Its high availability and affordability make it a very attractive one. It is a good idea to upgrade it during the game, which increases your defense and you do not have loads of that.

When it comes to jewelry, Sorceress's best choice is Bares. With high attack factor (AP), it is exquisite among sets of this type.
