I'm through Hell, with access to all of the major MF spots. With how prices are now, the lower items are finally starting to hit rock bottom, etc. Basically I need to respec to something different to MF in more competitive areas. Currently Frozen Orb right now. I'm currently going:
Mausoleum (pro ilvl 85 spot)
Andariel
Summoner
Duriel (terrible, but couldn't think of anything else)
Mephisto
Obviously, if I had better gear I'd try to do more areas.
Is it worth it to go to Lightning and change to:
Countess
Andariel
Summoner
Mephisto
Eldritch
Shenk
Pindle (? Slightly risky)
...if I only have +3 total to all skills (Amulet & Circlet)? Would Chain Lightning & Lightning be high enough damage at that point? I can't afford Infinity. Kind of curious here. Could go Fire as well, but Lightning seems a little better.
The damage part I'm concerned about, I finally found an SS last night so I have to respec anyways to get max block. Let me know what you guys' opinions are. The Token thingy is apparently pretty cheap (~Pul Rune) so if I screw up, I can always have a redo button.
--M|||Lore hat + Dual spirits can get you an easy +5 skills. Orb-it-allers work fine as a beginning Mf character. I assume you read Socialisms Orb sorc guide in the sorc forum?? Lightning is not gonna help you much more unless you have an Infinity already. I normally get to Hell act 3 and hit up Mephisto for a bit until you find some gear and then head over to Baal.
Repsec for max block is a good idea for a SS, and you get 3 free respecs so that shouldnt be a problem.. One for each time you complete the Den of Evil in norm, Nm, Hell mode...|||Quote:

Sadly I've already used two of them (once when I couldn't find a TGod to save my life, I went light with Whistan's Guard + Max Block + Max Vit, and again when I switched from FB --> Orb).
The reason I wanted to go to Lightning is because I can hit up A5 areas. I've stalled out in experience, I honestly don't see the bar moving any more when I play, it's kind of annoying. Anyhow, I suppose more information would be better:
Helm: +2 Sorc / +19 Dex / +mana / +some resist Circlet
Armor: 'Smoke' Studded Leather
Weapon: Wizardspike
Shield: 'Hel' Stormshield
Switch: +8 ES Staff
Belt: TGod's
Ring #1: Raven
Ring #2: 10% FCR / 19 Str ring
Amulet: Crafted +1 Sorc / +7 All Res / 7% FCR
Gloves: Frostburns
Boots: Hotspurs
Basically, I chose survivability over +Skills, it's the damage part that is a small issue at the moment
I also have no idea what to max first on a Lightning chick, obviously I want:
20 TK
20 Lightning
20 Chain Lightning
But do I care about mastery? I ask this here because the link to soepgroente's Lightning Sorc Guide is dead in the Sorc forums.|||Mastery is good. It allows for a damaging 1 pt. thunderstorm and just boosts your damage much more than maxing a synergy.|||A build that has never failed me is a blizzard/fireball sorceress. I usually run countess (Let the merc do the work), Andarial, Ancient Tunnels, Travincinal, Mephisto, sometimes chaos (takes around 10 minutes if i'm fast hitting the seals), pindle, and baal.
Now, keep in mind I did this all with a max block sorceress. She usually used a whistans, but my helm was a 3 perfect topaz'd helm, a skullders, etc. Nothing great.
But then again, you really shouldn't spend a whole lot on a magic find sorc.|||Full tal's on a MF sorc is the easiest and is decent. Hard to get this early in the ladder though.
