Build Overview
Freshly come from levelling, here comes the vanquisher!
Vanquisher is not a spectacular set. Decent stats, decent CT modifier, and CT has been nerfed hard. However, as demolitionist and arcanist have become proper, sorcerer can take the set to the new height!
The build is a fire caster utilizing untransmuted CT with little CD from Vanquisher, also BWC and mortar trap as another main source of damage. The build got a 42% CDR to quicken all the skills, defense, and heal proc. Simple concept, so many variations to go through. I believe I have adjusted it to my best ability with this build though.
Defense is good and has so many layers, 4.5 sec Giant’s blood downtime, Good health regen, 13.3 sec Mirror of Ereoctes, ghoul procs, Good life leech, 7 sec CD blast shield, permanent phoenix fire, softcap arcane will, and nullification. Use nullification generously for both offense and defense.
Equipment Choices
Try to get maximum CDR at offhand, conversion, and Craft 3 equipments for slow res and the res to stun res.

Build Performance
Crucible:
For 170 Crucible, video with 4 buff without banner (video with iron maiden):
6:30 clear time. Yes, this is a NO BANNER run.
Meeting iron maiden more than once make the clear time longer. She can’t kill you though.
Longest run is 7:00 in that case.
Shattered Realm:
Will be check later, too lazy to climb higher shards
