Other Sorcerer variants
Each Sorcerer variant page follows one stigma that splits the class. The groups overlap, because a player runs four stigmas at once.
| Variant | Players | Median CP | In class top 50 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cold Storm | 102 | 64,797 | 28 |
| Divine Burst (this page) | 49 | 62,656 | 7 |
| Steel Barrier | 43 | 63,190 | 12 |
Other Sorcerer stigmas with at least 20 players on each side of the split, without their own page: Element Enhancement (171), Fire Wall (148), Delayed Explosion (144), Glacial Smite (23).

What other sources say
MetaBot's 3 Oct reading does not list Divine Burst. The two Neonsect readings put it at 27% / 33% of their top 30. None of the build guides we read names it as a pick. These are outside readings with their own samples, shown so you can compare.
Not confirmed yet
- The armory does not record whether a player mostly runs PvE or PvP, so this page cannot say which mode Divine Burst is for.
- Why players pick Divine Burst. The data shows who equips it, not their reasons.
- Whether Divine Burst changes your combat power. Any gap above may come from gear, levels or the kind of player who picks it.
- The fourth stigma: Cold Storm (MetaBot, KeenGamer), Steel Barrier (Playhub) and Divine Burst are each named.
