|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 Mana Shield Mana Shield You have 99% reduced Maximum Life but any damage you would take is dealt to your Mana before your Life. If you have not taken damage in the last 4 seconds, your Mana Regeneration is increased by 5,000%. You gain 200-400% increased Maximum Mana and each point of Intelligence increases your Maximum Mana by 1. |
|||||
 Advanced Techniques Advanced Techniques Your base Core skill ranks increase their Mana Cost or Cooldown by 10% and further increase their damage by 10-20%. |
 Power Siphon Power Siphon Your Core Skills deal 50-100% increased damage, but also reduce your Maximum Current Resource by 20 for 6 seconds. This reduction stacks but does not refresh. |
 Crazy Brew Crazy Brew Your Healing Potion is infused with the power of Chaos, granting you 100% Resource Cost Reduction, 40-80% increased Attack Speed and 40-80 increased Movement Speed for 4 seconds. Your Healing Potion has a 10 second Cooldown and you can drink it at full Life. |
|||
The Chaos Perks for the AFK Sorcerer build focus on boosting your Core Skill damage with Advanced Techniques and Power Siphon. This synergizes well with the build since you will be auto casting Ice Shards and Fireball most of the time.
Mana Shield is a defensive perks since it also synergizes well with mana stacking for better survivability. This allows the build to have very low health, but will use the mana pool instead for life with a huge increase to mana regeneration.

 Topaz

For Gems, it's best to slot in Emerald on your weapon slot for more Critical Strike Damage. Slot in Topaz on the rest of your armor to gain more Intelligence for mana and survivability.
As for your Rings and Amulets, we recommend slotting in Skulls to help you reach the 1000 Armor cap for endgame. If you have already reached the cap, you can slot in Diamonds instead to max out your elemental resistances.

Lith + Ton is used to auto cast Meteor whenever you stand still for at least 0.3 seconds. On the other hand, Bac + Ceh is used to summon Spirit Wolves to help deal more damage since you will be consistently moving all the time.

Although this AFK Sorcerer build does not need any Mercenaries, we do have some personal recommendations if ever you still want to use them. Use Varyana as your main mercenary for the added movement speed and attack speed, while Raheir will be your Reinforcement, which can be set to cast Crater every time you use your Core Skills.
