In PvP, this sorceress build are the most common due to the Frozen Orb's huge AoE (Area of Effect), however they deal less damage than other builds. Frozen Orb Sorceress: Focuses on Cold Spells, with Frozen Orb spell as apex.

However, this build is very weak against high amount of Fire resistance, as very few points are spent in non-Fire skills. It appears to deals most damage of all sorc-builds and can rain destruction from several screens away, which makes them very powerful. Fire Ball Sorceress: Focuses on the development of the sorceress skills: Fire Ball, Fire Mastery, And other fire skills to increase the Fire Ball skill with additional bonuses.Despite this disadvantage, they are considered one of the best, if not the best, PvP class due to their ability to move quickly across the map with teleportation and ranged attacks, which makes them ideal for Hit-and-Run tactics.

The Sorceress, most valued for her high elemental damage output and ranged AOE attacks rather than her teamwork, is great against large groups of monsters however, since they deal elemental magic damage, they are less efficient in PvP combat due to elemental resistances.
