I'm returning after six years. More like eight years since my real last intensive activity was back in 2014 and after that I just logged in for two or three days. Anyways as a main Sorcerer your video is helping me a lot to slowly catch up the changes over these years so thank you so much. I'm still struggling to find a suitable Sorcery DPS build tho, still playing with a totally random one from six years ago until I get a glimpse on stuff. Only on solo instances of course, for group I can only help as a healer at the moment.

[@JOZELGELLADOTOLENTINO-hp2jy]

thank you so much! still a noob to the game, this is very useful❤

[@miquefan]

I run the pure heal build and use empowered channeling for the hands mod. I think it helps with Invocation of Renewal casts.

[@ObsidianChill]

Definitely viable for that for sure

[@gr33dyglutton]

They should make soulwell give out the same HOTs as circle but keep the soulwell range. Sorcery needs better HOTs. #makesoulwellgreatagain

[@echopryme]

Why not Dual Pistol? I've always wondered why no one takes that? I can heal when needed, and just take a single skill point in Dual Pistol and fire from range and get a ton of power back between heals. If I have Demon's Fang on for my Battle Healer, I NEVER run out of power... I'm not sure why thats never been considered a viable option. Am I missing a downside here?!

[@legendary9078]

Thank you

[@MuffinButton101]

Man idk if I should try this or not, sorcery has been changed so many times though out the years and I always loved my original build but I might have to

[@4everyoung834]

I use the oldest builds. I was doing an 8 Players run and I was the only healer, everyone elses were dps, one tank and and one troll, I kept them all alive.

[@glennthehelper4524]

My Playstyle is something I like to call a shield healer. It's a healer that can heal others but focuses a lot on moves that mitigate/absorbe damage for their allies and themselves more so than just pure healing so their healing output is lower than other healers because they have more defensive options like shields and bubbles/barriers and stuff that mitigate/absorb damage for your allies. Like Scholar from FFXIV or Discipline Priest from WoW so what power would be good or close to that?

[@claudiabcarvalho]

As a sorcerer, I only use summoning when I go dps. Fury with the AoD, and sometimes the Guardian when my group lacks a tank - or at least a good one. I started using the Watcher when I was starting, but I just felt it wasn't good enough, switched for another superpower and never looked back.

[@LightdoesCrack]

Bro in my opinion this man obsidianchill is carrying this game like mans has a guide for everything like if you tryna know how to tank just go this man, needa learn how to heal just go to his yt and he'll teach u everything u needa know. Like dead serious this man carrying this game and i think hes probably one of the smartest people in dcuo just with giving us these facts about every power alone

[@ObsidianChill]

Thank you for the kind words

[@DangerouslyActive]

Lol there's other KZbinrs that has guides on ever roll.

[@Panda-lq7xy]

Yep Agreed 👍🏼, other KZbinrs might have guide yes but they don't test stuff like He dose.

[@DangerouslyActive]

Lol You really need to search more. Chills platform is one that's has a good resource. But not #1 & no disrespect to Chill himself. He doesn't have the answers per dcuo. When people in game on mic verbally hated on dude. I literally be that guy and asked...did you watch his videos. He has said and stated. This is a guide. Especially with builds. None of my toons are spected as chills or anyone else's. And our player style is differ. Doesn't mean I'm better or he's better. Let me me add this last point. That people don't know.... When it comes to KZbins Algorithm. It's so in favor for Chills channel based on dcuo... Im not going to get into the details or politics of KZbin..Only to add some context. I do appreciate your opinion and open discussion.

[@DangerouslyActive]

@@Panda-lq7xy Have you been on Geoforcee101🤔

[@haariceb8894]

Would you recommend using strategist card or not at all

[@joebrackens9012]

Are you going to update this now that circle ⭕️ is huge now

[@Ericdj15]

Im surprised you don’t use the Orb if Orian anymore with sorcery healing

[@Ericdj15]

I actually like using the watcher for sorcery for me its very good and it has an 8 player heal also. This build with the other heals is very good but to each their own.

[@ObsidianChill]

It has a 8 player heal but you don't know when that actual heal is coming. Can't wait while the entire group is low just for watcher to kick in and start healing.

[@nicksandz3209]

Watcher build works better in your bird form

[@ObsidianChill]

@@nicksandz3209 watcher still doesn't have the ability to crit and its slower heals even with it having unlimited power. You have to take 2 slots in arbitor for watcher unless you are just using the group heal spam to give power back to it

[@nicksandz3209]

@@ObsidianChill yes i use group heal in my arbiter form not the main form

[@JoeyKO757]

Speaking from experience learn how to use your artifacts

[@TimeAdept]

They fixed Circle of Protection. It has a HUGE AOE now.

[@tp6689]

Is soul siphon not any good? Its description sounds op... target's attacks heal group members. It sounds like he is healing instead of damaging when he attacks, so much less need for other healing powers. I know I would still need to use other powers, but does soul siphon just not work as described? It sounds like a single target/boss wouldn't even be able to hurt people. Also, you do great work. I appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos. I appreciate that you're old and smart like I am, and I love that you have spreadsheets for dc. I have them as well.

[@Wolf.Vision]

Is not good, the healing base multiplier is very low, not worth using it.

[@ADarklore]

You do realize that you do NOT need to run Offering with Watcher as the 4-man heal Ritualistic Word FEEDS Watcher as well, and typically you are spamming RW anyway, so you get extra passive heals and extra damage just by running Watcher. Also, Circle's AoE has been expanded to match Water... so it's extremely useful now.

[@ObsidianChill]

The change to CoP didn't exist when this video was created. In regards to Watcher you also completely miss the added benefits to the heals that offering grants with the resto % and the power return from word only gives enough for for 1 Watcher heal, not to mention watcher heals are awful and cannot crit. There is zero reason to run watcher as sorcery. Transformation card has no effect, the heals are slow not only in their duration but slow to charge PHR as well.

[@joncf3938]

So I have a very important question Concerning Healing (DCUO) how is a lower stat healer with lower gear n sometimes artifacts out healing me ? I’m very confused 🫤

[@dcuoffendinghabits7949]

I've always said a healer pet shouldn't attack, it should focus its power on 100% healing nothing else.

[@claudiabcarvalho]

Oh, the CoP looks a lot bigger now, it's enough to fill a small room.

[@ObsidianChill]

correct, since this video CoP was changed to increase the radius and the transparency has been adjusted.

[@DangerouslyActive]

😎

[@bretleversha]

Circle of protection has always been a tank heal.

[@Mercen-Airy]

I run Orb,Page,Purp. Can solo heal FFE, etc. But Sorc HOTs are ass

[@AnubisA.A]

Unfortunately I agree, that's why I perfer Celestial

[@ambroseaz]

how do you get 900+ skill points?

[@Shadow497]

I know a lot of healers swear by spec Dom after rest. I try telling them 100 sp not doing anything might as well put it in health or M&P.

[@ObsidianChill]

Yea most aren’t gunna have an extra 250 etc sp to drop in dom to actually make a difference it’s better just for health and power so you aren’t always stuck running PHR

[@Shadow497]

@@ObsidianChill I know in the beginning purple healing ray would proc because of the pet. Does it still do that or did they fix it?

What currency was it you used to buy the generator mods

[@ObsidianChill]

there are new generator mods for each new episode release that will use that present currency. You can also get older generator mods with source marks currency

Just coming back to the game and.. yea seeing your skill point.. I have zero hope of catching up to any content in this game lmao

thats not his real sp. its a test server. in reality the highest is 600

I wonder if the devs watch these vids on theze powers

[@Panda-lq7xy]

I would love them to watch it so they see that sorcery need some love 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@realkingofoldschool]

best allies?

[@BUZZKILLJRJR]

Sad the watcher used to be so good back in the beginning

[@gonzalosanchezsanchez1678]

In my humble opinion and proven it is, that if instead of going All the points to Domain, which are WORKS for the bosses to attack you as Healer, it is preferable that you put like me, all the possible points to Vitalization, heal or heal equal or more and the bar of Power will hold you a little more in any contest

[@dogico]

Dominace doesn't affect aggro and vit doesn't affect your power regen as a healer.

[@gonzalosanchezsanchez1678]

@@dogico Does not affect the aggro you say?Well go believing you that IF it affects, if you read the statistics well, as soon as you exceed by the minimum the aggro of the boss, is going for you, and I assure you from experience, and with the Vitalization, I assure you by own experience lived that the bar of power holds you much more than hurting to Domain

[@gonzalosanchezsanchez1678]

@@dogico When you try MY way of SP to Vitalization, fixed that you will NOT want to change it

[@dogico]

@@gonzalosanchezsanchez1678 open up the stats tab right now and read what it says for both dominance and vitalization. It clearly says dominance is for shields heals and crowd controlling enemies and that vitalization does not affect your own passive power generation. This isn't my opinion the game literally tells you this.

[@gonzalosanchezsanchez1678]

@@dogico I hope I repeat, as I did before, why do you want so many shields? The first thing if you are NOT water healer, which has that mode,full shields,Why? for nothing, apart, that shield is MOMENTANEOUS lasts a few seconds,then,NOT WANT FOR ANYTHING to the raid lowers life in a perichete,therefore you are more interested with the Vitalization hold more the bar of power Up, to be able to continue healing at maximum power, also that the Vitalization influences the healing performed by the healer, see the basic statistics

[@masterd8279]

Have u considered empowered channeling mod?

[@ObsidianChill]

I did, was an oversight, so used to running with solar amplifier and it automatically applies it that it slipped my mind about the mod to mention it for invocation

[@masterd8279]

@@ObsidianChill np...just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something

[@hoottheowl6777]

Soulwell needs to give out bigger heals. Maybe it needs a bigger and a different animation as well. Like at 70k resto, soulwell gives off AT MOST 4.5k heal per tick, if not lower. What? It needs an upgrade.

[@SenzubeanNz]

they removed metabolic boost

[@tendtotherabbits]

Is this still valid in 2024??

[@pipocatulumba2743]

They change circle of protection now is large now is better

correct and its much more transparent to not interfere with ground mechanics :)
