Sorcerer
The Sorcerer is the archetypal glass-cannon caster, weaving fire, cold and lightning through a unique Enchantment system that repurposes skills as passive effects. In Season 14 it holds A-tier: a superb speed-farmer with strong clear, held back from S only by its fragility.
Role
Ranged elemental caster
Core Mechanic
Mana as the resource plus Enchantment slots — equipping a skill as an Enchantment grants a powerful passive version of it instead of casting it.
PvE Tier
PvEAPlaystyle
A classic glass-cannon spellcaster slinging fire, cold and lightning with an Enchantment system that turns skills into passive effects. Strong for speed-farming and a solid A-tier endgame pick in Season 14, but fragile up close.

Why This Tier
A-tier: it clears and farms as fast as anything in the game, but its fragility and lower top-end push keep it a step below the S-tier bruisers.
