New Sorceress Question and Skill Cap Question

(1/4) > >>

Darkkatgirl:
Ok, I never really played a sorceress.  I was thinking of making her a pure lightning, focusing on Charged Bolt and Lightning Bolt with -% to Lightning resist on monster items and something that gives me Lower Resist.

Is this a good idea? Need some expert sorc advise :)

Also the caps on skills (and synergies) have changed alot.  What is the current cap?  What I mean by cap is in Blizzard LOD you could only have 20 in any skill before having to get items to increase it.  What is the new cap if any?  Could I have a level 99 charged bolt before items? (not that I would do that)

webwalker:
You can put 30 skill points in any skill.  +skill items can boost that to a max of 100.

Figure out what you want your sorc skill set to be at level 90, starting hell/cgs.
89*2+24 = 202 skill points.
How will you handle lightning-immune monsters?

If you also have fire damage, how will you handle double-immune monsters?

I've seen 4 immunities on a monster at once.  .:. 90 points in Warmth, Enchant, and Fire Mastery, with a Faith bow for fanaticism, give fire & physical damage; a beeswarm or Ranger's Sting bow does likewise without the fanaticism.

sathraloth:
max is 30
only lightning is bad.
perhaps use fo or ench.
if u use fo, you max warmth as a synergy.
you get lower resist by the stash.
i think it's 100 dolls or something like that.
edit: webwalker was faster :(

@Darkcatgirl

I don't pay much attention to the max dmg of anyone skill.

I just run mostly sorc and zon guys.

A sorc with skill points spread out on ice, lighting and fire works fine.

Use just one point on on most skills till you have a 20+ points in reserve.

You need to put extra points on fire ball, gacail spike and shield, till you can
use the ice orb, and chain lighting.

Then snow strom and thunder.

Two green sets work nicely for a sorc. Cortai and Irashia (hope I spelled those right)
work nicely at first. Then star using rune words on secondary weapons and shield.
Of coarse my Sorcs are half fighter / wariors.

Fire ball is your main spell till you can use Iceorb. Use charms too your best advantage.
Around 30 lvl you can start to use none set items with rune words to boust your dmg, lech, and skills. Tempered rune word items work nice for extra bonouses.

I find that the defensive static sheld pulls too muck mana, to be usefull. It can leav you alive with no mana to cast an offensive spell to kill the monstern.

A single skill Sorc might work nice with a group and be flashy, but in single play it just dies in the end.

Olfmo:
i am sorry bdpf but what you are writing is really nonsense

a sorc using all 3 skill trees may be good until a certain level but you'll NEVER get any further in hell with her

there are 2 kinds of sorc

1) melee using enchant, warmth, fire mastery, lightning mastery, energy shield and telekinesis. you can use ww from the whirling dervish boots, or bu from blessings of osiris or drunken fury, or beeswarm with multishot to distribute your damage. for further information look into the guide section

2) caster-sorc

a) frozen orb, telekinesis, chain lightning, energy shield
this one uses fo and cl for the masses and tk for single monsters. to protect herself she got energy shield and much mana, along with maxed warmth (fo synergie)

b) nova-sorc using frost nova and nova, haven't played one in a while so i really don't know how to skill it


first you should decide what kind of sorc you wanna play then we can give you more advice
