I'm 40 body/36 mind. I only duo/trio and don't do any pve so can't speak to that. While leveling I would put most of my points in body and occasionally dump a bunch in mind to get the next pom. That was mostly grouping for xping with a little a soloing if I remember correctly.

44 mind, 31 body, 4 matter

44 Mind: Red AoE mezz from sorc has a wider aoe radius making it easier to land that clutch blanket mezz. Furthermore, you will want every second longer that you can get on a mezz vs a full det + stoicism tank. Yellow pom is included, solid self mezz dampening and solid group mezz dampening for when you have other casters with backup speed running.

31 Body will still allow you to use baseline body life tap in conjunction with your cabalist's body debuff and life taps should you have that pocket cab in your group without seeing too big of a hit on variance from being sub 50 composite. 31+11 in suit gives you 42/50 and as your realm rank rises, you get closer and closer to composite 50 and reduce variance on the damage from these nukes. The problem with going higher in body is you lose the radius on the mezz and your aoe root looks more enticing because it’s yellow now instead of blue..... But when you cast that aoe root out of panic on the tanks you ruin half of your peels. When you root the tanks charging you, you give them root/snare immunity and the tanks cannot melee snare when this immunity is active, just like you wouldn't stun a tank with a casted stun if you have a melee slam in your group.

4 matter: because I said this is where the rest of your points go and you will like it. No seriously, where else would you put them!

Your job is this: Clutch mezzes from bolt range and interrupts until you can assist on your MA's target. You will be busy with single and aoe amnesia since you can spam it and you will be single target mezzing targets if you don't land the coveted blanket mezz on inc. You are also responsible for using confuse on FnF targets, IE all shrooms. If you weren't already aware: theurgist and animists pets can be simply cleared with 1 cast of a confuse as long as the confuse is not resisted. So mezzing, rupting, single mezzes, NOT ROOTING TANKS, and then assisting your MA's target when it’s called if you're in a caster build ( you will be in a caster build... )

So all this said and done: 44mind and 31body and 4matter is one of the best specs around, going further into mind only increases variance on your lifetap, cough survive ability cough, and going further into body only increases your likelihood of using root improperly and making your tank peeler angry and confused as to why his melee snare is not working.

Or you could be a total badass and say screw my responsibilities and go full body.... because yea if I had another solid sorc that could mezz I would totally pew pew pew all day too.
