My character died and I chose to Re-Roll a Sorc.
I only have a few things that are set in stone, I would appreciate a list of Feats and gear if you have the time =D.

Race: Elf

Point Buy: 20

No 3rd party things

No Multiclassing

I'm looking to Nuke and Support.

No multiclassing but what about PrCs?

I'd say do the metamgackiy incantrix  thing. If no prcs, metamagic spec anyways

Pathfinder, Ketaro. There isn't an incantatrix.

@OP: Have you read all the guides?
I appreciate the logical, cool-headed responses and the lack of profanity displayed by our community.

I believe some of the items had/have pathfinder equivalents, enough so that you can use it as a springboard to build your own variant. I couldn't find a pathfinder specific nuke build off the top of my head so I grabbed something to start with. The linked thread has a discussion on the things in pathfinder that boost blaster sorcery to get mailman-ish I know there's a better link somewhere but I can seem to dredge it up.

Haha, well then. I was on my phone and didn't quite see that on the tiny screen -_-'

Be inspired

How does this play, and what feats are you planning on taking for the future? Looks great though nice saves nice HP.

How does this play
Dazing Spell everything. Also, snag Magical Lineage.

Thanks!, one more question. I'm new to Sorc but I'm loving the fact that there's so much you can do besides swing a sword and do damage. My question is with this build What Spell combos should I do? Let's say I'm just fighting some minions, which spells do I do compared to fighting a boss?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Pathfinder skill ranks are 1:1 capacity, no?

"Then allocate these ranks to desired skills, but remember that you cannot have more ranks than your level in any one skill (for a starting character, this is usually one)."

If that is true, what method was utilized to get U.M.D. (and Fly I suppose, but not as interested) above 12 ranks? Please forgive me if it's an obvious thing, as I'm quite green to Pathfinder.

Why elf and not, say, half-elf?  Half-elf gives you access to the spell paragon surge and the Human Sorcerer racial substitution ability for more Sorcerer spells known.

Ah, I had forgotten about that change. Sorry.

My guess is that Solo was including the untyped +3 bonus to any class skills that have at least one rank.
