[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 9104260, member: 6716779"] I'm aware the Dragon sorcerer isn't the best Sorcerer but what's the best element to use? Traditionally it's fire due to the quantity of fire spells. Eg lightning lacks a ranged cantrip. Everything else that's not fire or lightning lacks an efficient level 3 boom spell. However Xanathars adds some reprinted 2E and new spells. Tashas adds metamagic adept feat and transmute spell metamagic. There's also some odd builds eg melee fire and lightning sorcerers using shocking grasp or green flame blade vs a ranged build which people probably go for. Fire us still probably "the best". But it's also one of the most resisted/immune elements. Poisons the worst. The most resisted elements and it generally targets constitution saves. Frost also generally targets constitution saves. Acid is great but very anemic spell list but there's spells like chromatic orb and dragons breath and vitriolic sphere so you really only need the odd transmuted acid ball. My personal list. Best to worst. Fire Lightning Acid Frost Poison. If I was playing one would probably go for a melee fire Dragon build or a ranged Acid build. Lack of ranged lightning cantrip bugs me and Acid is a useful element. [/QUOTE]
