Sorcerer

Sorcerer is the free AoE engine of TBH: Task Bar Hero. Idle economies love pack clear: more dead packs per minute means more chests. That is why Sorcerer anchors so many F2P farm teams.

Role

Wave clear and farming DPS behind Knight/Priest. Slightly slower than Hunter on some bosses; excellent for stage volume and AFK chest income.

Why AoE wins the economy

Chests/hour cares about how often packs die, not how cinematic a single elite kill looks. Sorcerer’s kit is built for that. If your account feels “poor,” check whether your damage seat actually clears packs — Farming.

Stat priority

1. Cast / attack speed
2. Elemental damage matching your skills (fire-centric kits appear often in community guides)
3. Crit if your kit scales with it
4. Enough HP to survive splash

Read tooltips. Matching schools matters more than copying someone else’s gem screenshot.

Skills

Spend every level. Prioritize the clear skill that defines your wave melt, then sustain/utility. Second skill slot is a large power jump once runes allow it. → Skills

Gear & sockets

• Speed + matching elemental mats
• Do not socket “random legendary gems” that buff a damage type you do not deal
• Save best mats for long-term Immortal bodies
• Sockets · Rarity · Cube

Best home: free trio

Knight + Sorcerer + Priest is the recommended free clear / AFK farm team.

Seat	Job
Knight	Live through AFK
Sorcerer	Melt packs
Priest	Heals + party damage buffs

Boss expectations

Sorcerer clears the game. On single-target walls:

1. Stack more gear on Sorcerer
2. Improve tank/heal floor so the fight lasts
3. Swap in Ranger/Hunter for the attempt if needed
4. Portal farm if attempts are going nowhere → Acts

Mistakes

• Judging Sorcerer only on a boss attempt during hour one
• Ignoring elemental match on sockets
• Farming a wipe stage “because Sorcerer should carry”
• Skipping Priest because “AoE is enough”

FAQ

Is Sorcerer better than Ranger?

For chests/hour farm: usually yes. For early single-target feel: Ranger can feel better.

Do I need Hunter if I have Sorcerer?

No for clearing. Yes for comfort/speed on some bosses.

Sample skill spend (framework)

Phase	Bias
Early	Main AoE clear skill + cast/attack speed supports
Mid	Pack-clear multipliers matching your element
Boss prep	Temporary single-target options if available

Measure success in chests/hour, not highlight-clip boss DPS.

Rune pairing

Sorcerer is the free economy DPS. Your gold should still buy slots and automation before niche elemental combat runes. Alchemy → Command remains king (Gold economy).

Gear shopping list

Prioritize

• Speed (cast/attack)
• Matching elemental damage
• Modest HP so splash does not brick AFK

Socket rule

If the gem’s school ≠ your skill school, skip it. → Sockets

Farm script (Sorcerer seat)

1. Deploy Knight + Sorcerer + Priest
2. Portal to a crush stage
3. Alchemy junk → next rune permission
4. Only then push Acts

Details: Farming · First week

Boss script

If a wall boss stalls:

1. Stack best weapons on Sorcerer
2. Confirm Priest uptime
3. Try Ranger/Hunter swap for the attempt
4. If not close, farm — do not infinite-retry

Synergies

Best friends: Knight (floor) + Priest (heals/buffs). Competes with Hunter for the damage chair — own both and swap by goal.

Patch caveat

Elemental coefficients move. After hotfixes, re-check whether your sockets still match the live skill text.
