Because I couldn’t find a complete, accurate list of all the wargear and when it unlocks in Dawn of War II’s Last Stand mode, I’m creating my own in the hopes that it’ll prove useful to others someday. :) If you find these lists useful or have any corrections to make, just drop me a comment at the bottom of the page. Feedback is always appreciated! I have personally verified everything up to level 14, other details are courtesy of friends and commenters. Thanks to Sed, Pickledragon, Shizzuko, Toyi, and Juno for helping to complete the list. :)

My sorc is still a low level, but I have seen several higher level sorcs use the Icon of Change. Is it really good enough to lose the Icon of Summoning for? I’ve seen it kill some things, but it seems a little too random to be something reliable.

Keep in mind that Daemonic Gift of Sustenance does not give you back energy unless you are in melee with a target. Doesn’t make any sense to me why it’s like this since the lifetap part works on both ranged and melee.
Tsenzei — October 23rd, 2011 @ 11:45 am
Icon of Change is pretty random, but it can be effective if you find yourself consistently in the thick of enemies, and personally, I don’t like Icon of Summoning all that much unless using a Narc build.
krz — October 26th, 2011 @ 2:12 am
this class is cool in that with level one you can actually reach the doppleganger stage even if your allies also suck (this is because you just constantly keep making doplegangers of high powered enemies, especially the big tryranid creatures)
-Note, never try making dopplegangers of banshees… sure, the idea sounds pretty cool seeing as banshees ussually kill you when you are the other classes, but don’t do it, waste of energy points

My preferred build for my Sorc is as follows:
-Staff of Daemonic Flame
-Robes of the Deathless
-Daemonic Gift of Retaliation
-Daemonic Gift of Sustenance
-Sigil of Greater/Master Sorcery
-Icon of Summoning
With this build, whatever minion you choose to crank out tends to pack a hell of a punch and tends to be exceedingly difficult/annoying to kill. I prefer either FC or Warriors for the beginning waves. If they survive that long, clone one of the clones (yourself if you want a cloning pet :P)or whatever uber-strong unit comes along (Carnifex in particular) On top of that, you’ve got Let the Galaxy Burn for everything that doesn’t have knockback immunity. I don’t think that i’ve ever wiped sooner than wave 16 with this build tbh.

A decent build for a Sorcerer who wants to go in close combat?
Baron von HoopleDoople — November 3rd, 2011 @ 1:39 am
There isn’t really that great of melee Sorceror builds. Here’s a couple that are tolerable.
If you have the DLC wargear:
Oracle Stave, Armor of Might Undivided, Rubric Touched Helm, Daemonic Gift of Sustenance, Tome of Dome, Icon of Summoning.
This build gives you decent health and armor, immunity to suppression and knockback, decent health recovery (when special attack triggers it usually gives you a full heal), and a powerful close range spell you can spam away.
If you lack the DLC wargear:
Cataclysmic Hellblade, Armor of Might Undivided, Daemonic Gift of Sustenance, Daemonic Gift of Retaliation, Sigil of Greater Sorcery, Icon of Summoning.
This build gives you good damage and reactive doomblasts to clear out swarms. Defense isn’t that spectacular but at least you recover health with each attack.
Violence — November 3rd, 2011 @ 9:57 am
@Baron ty for the advice ^^
FunnehRabbitMan — November 14th, 2011 @ 10:53 pm
@Violence I play a bit of an unorthodox melee Sorcerer that you may want. I posted it awhile back but to save you some time digging I’ll post it here as well:
Staff of Tzeentch
Armor of Might Undivided
Daemonic Gift of Sustenance
Sigil of Greater Sorcery
Sigil of Master Sorcery
Icon of Summoning
First off, change to melee stance; this will let you recover your energy by attacking in melee (and if I remember right the Staff’s DPS isn’t that much different in melee). Teleport all around, stacking fire fields if you can, then go in and beat them with your staff; the fire will make up for lost DPS and the Gift will keep you from running out of energy and increase your standing power. However, you won’t have spectacular standing power and so should use your high mobility for escape as well as offense. You’ll have a hard time going toe-to-toe with big guys, but you’ll be able to do appreciable damage if you stack your fields right and you’ll decimate little guys. So, in short:
Pros: Great sustained DPS, high area of effect damage, fast health and energy regeneration, Fearless, Unshakable, high mobility.
Cons: Moderate-to-low standing power, low burst potential.

@FunnehRabbitMan
Your combo is a useless version of this one :
Staff of Tzeentch
Armor of Might Undivided
Tome of Doom
Daemonic Gift of Sustenance
Sigil of Greater Sorcery
Icon of Summoning
Let me tell you first that the energy gaining gift DO WORK with doomblast (and let the the galaxy burn too). So just teleport on the ennemy (burning him with greater sorcery bonus) and doombast his face. Then remember this : the closer, the heavier damages are but the smaller the attack zone is.
So, do it again and again and again until everything is doomblasted.
For the commander item I took the Icon of Summoning for extra life but all are neither usefull nor useless.
You don’t need really extra damages (Icon of Pain) trust me but this is an option whereas Icon of Change is as useless as usual.
Dalakh — November 15th, 2011 @ 1:22 pm
Sorry for the double post I meant Doombolt instead for Doomblast as you maybe understood.
Melee Sorc — November 24th, 2011 @ 12:06 pm
Sword of Spite
Armor of Might Undivided
Sigil of Master Sorcery
Daemonic Gift of Sustenence
Daemonic Gift of Retaliation/DLC Rubric Touched Helm
Icon of Pain
D. Blast + SoMS gives you a huge boost to Armor, while DGoR gives you a chance of getting a D. Blast so long as you’re in melee. The DLC helm provides an Armor bonus as well, just 100% when in melee. DGoS will keep you topped off with IoP, and will keep your D. Blast up and running as well.
+ Sorc is “tanky”
+ decent damage
+ D. Blast knocks down units
- very boring
- poor mobility
- tankiness relies on being in melee

Do the achivement items work in chaos rising or only retribution?
