Summoner Sorcerer

This build is based on using the abilities of all the elements - ice, fire and lightning. It consists of offensive Conjuration spells and defensive spells in the form of shields. This combination means that you will be able to deal severe damage and, at the same time, ensure that your character's health points do not drop to zero.

Skills and number of points to create a build:

1. Spark - 2 points. This basic attack will help you at the beginning the game. Hits the enemy up to 4 times.
