Editorial Waypoint opinion, creditedData Adapted from a cited sourceProvisional Open to revision

Editorial entries are the Waypoint team's opinion, credited with an author and date. Data entries adapt a cited published source, normalized onto this S–D scale — see each entry's own notes for exactly how. Hardcore is assessed separately from Softcore. Ranks compare builds within one purpose only: a mapping rank says nothing about bossing.

Sorceress · At a glance

HC · Highest ranked in this snapshot

Original S–D tiers stay unchanged. Equal-tier builds share the top placement; missing rankings do not mean a class is weak.

Mapping

Nothing ranked yet. The season is days old and the meta is still changing its mind; an empty list beats a confident wrong one.

Bossing

Nothing ranked yet. The bosses are still winning the arguments.

League start

Nothing ranked yet. By the time a league-start list is honest, the league has started. We are working on it.

Criteria

Gear requirements

Works on self-found gear and cheap runewords in the first days of a fresh ladder.

Clear speed while gearing

How fast it levels and clears early maps before the key items are found.

Survivability

How forgiving it is with low resistances and low life. Weighted much more heavily in HC.

Fortified / non-fortified

How far it gets into fortified maps before it needs a respec or a second character.
