This guide focuses on a beginner-friendly, gear-light setup that'll get you from level 1 to the end of the campaign in style. Ready to freeze and smash your way through Wraeclast? Let's go!
Why the Sorceress Frost Bombs build wins as a league starter
The Sorceress class brings icy crowd control and devastating damage to the table, making it a Dawn of the Hunt dream. With just Frost Bombs and Freezing Shots, you'll be able to lock down enemies, shred packs, and breeze through bosses - no fancy uniques or trading required. It's a low-maintenance league starter that scales effortlessly, perfect for newbies and veterans alike.
Core Skills for Your Sorceress Class Build
Frost Bombs
Your AoE powerhouse. Drops a bomb that applies -20% Cold Resistance via Cold Exposure, then explodes for massive damage.
Boost it with Spell Cascade for extra hits or Controlled Destruction for bigger blasts and punch.
Pro tip: Lure enemies into its radius for maximum carnage.
Freezing Shots
A zero-mana projectile skill from a Gelid Staff. Builds over time, freezing enemies for up to 4 seconds (or 6 with Deep Freeze).
Shatters frozen foes when damage spikes, clearing screens with ease.
Stack cold skill levels (like +2 from gear) to amp its chill factor.
Support Cold Snap (with Unleash and Magnified Effect): Finishes off frozen stragglers.
Frost Wall (late-game): Trap enemies or shield you, syncing with Frost Bombs for explosive combos.
Hypothermia: Boosts damage against chilled bosses.
Passive tree for a Sorceress League beginner
This build relies on cold damage and Energy Shield for a smooth ride. Here's the path:
Cold & Spell Damage: Stack nodes like Cold Damage and Spell Damage early.
Energy Shield: Grab Faster Energy Shield and Maximum Energy Shield for survivability.
Big wins: Aim for “+1 to Level of All Cold Spells” and “Increased Cold Exposure Effects.”
Flex Options: Add critical chance/damage or curse effects later for spice.
Keep it simple early on - focus on damage, then add defence as you go.
Gear Up Your Sorceress Class League Starter
No need for a treasure hoard - this build thrives on vendor finds and basic crafting:
Staff: Your MVP. Look out for Freezing Shots or Freezing Shards; +2 to cold skills is gold. Craft with Orbs of Augmentation/Alchemy if vendors fail you.
Armor: Prioritize energy shield and max life. Gamble or salvage for upgrades (use blacksmithing tools in Aam City for sockets/quality).
Rings & Belt: Hunt for health, resistances or cold damage. Example: 7 Strength = 14 Health - good enough early!
Check vendors after every level-up for fresh stock. Quality gear with armour scraps for extra oomph.
How to Play This Sorceress Class Build
Game Loop: Drop Frost Bombs to draw enemies in, pepper them with Freezing Shots to freeze them, then Cold Snap to finish them off.
Boss fights: Bomb them, wall them in with Frost Wall, and watch them shatter. Hypothermia seals the deal on tough ones.
Survival: Frozen enemies can't hit you—use that 4-6 second window to reposition or regen.
Why This League Starter Rules Dawn of the Hunt
Patch 0.2.0's new challenges meet their match with this Sorceress class build. Its no-gear dependency gets you rolling fast on April 4th, while the freeze-shatter combo keeps leveling fast and safe. Whether you're new to PoE2 or a Sorceress class pro, this build is a blast from start to finish.
