Good mf sorc

[dave_simms44]

Hey, I recently reinstalled DII and I found one of my .09 accounts is still there, and I have a mf sorc, but since this is 1.1 syngergies have made her suck(well, i can make a way better one)
So, I need a good guide for a 1.1 magic find sorc. I'm planning on doing nm meph first, I'm scared of hell meph for a while....and pindle a bit, maybe.
The equipment I have to use is
occy, skulders, shako, lidless, 2x30mf nagelrings, some really crappy 19 mf boots, some bad mf chance guards, 3x7mfsc,1 fire skill grand charm, and some ammy that is good but has no mf(i think its a a dupe from .08 or something), and goldwrap belt
This equip is pretty good but I'm planing on doing some mf, getting a bit better stuff, like more charms and some ists to go in my stuff..although I have no clue if I can do this cause I dunno what I can find in 1.10 where....
So, please give me a good guide to go by.

P.S. - if you got some equip I could use(perfebably ammy or boots or shield:D itd be apprecaited...this is non-ladder.
P.P.S - I have 393 mf with all that stuff on...whats a good amout of mf??

No one knows a good mf build? :hanky:

I've heard good things about a few sorc builds for MFing on Mephisto:

Meteorb (http://www.rpgforums.net/showthread.php?t=130054) and a fully synergized blizzard sorc... as well as a Meteor/FB build... my last one was very successful for mephisto runs.

I'm currently in the progress of making a blizzard sorceress on the new ladder, and she's doing quite well... those are just 3 popular builds among many others that would work great for nm/hell meph.

A good place to start looking up builds would be the guide thread, located here (http://forums.rpgforums.net/showthread.php?t=166829).

Thank you, I saw that thread but didn't know if any of those were good for mf or not. I'm gonna go with either meteorb, or metor/fireball.
I dunno which is better, to go with 2 elements or have one really strong(fire) from the syngergies and stuff
Which would you guys recomend for meph runs, meteorb or meteor/fire ball??

Well I guess that depends on whether you want more versatility (Meteorb), being able to MF in more places... or if you want speed, which you could probably achieve faster using Meteor/FB, in which the meteor is fully synergized, and will kill a bit faster.

It's really up to you... I did great on my Meteor/FB sorc, but my friend is doing fine on his Meteorb, so again, its really up to you.

Meteorb seems to be a favorite among many, as the two elements gives you a lot more versatility, but its just my preferance... I like having one thing fully synergized so I can have one strong attack. The downside is simply not something to fall back on, but I guess if its purely for MF on meph, you'll be fine with a Meteor/FB. I'm no sorc expert though, I actually prefer MF on my hammerdin. :wave:

Hmm, well I wanna do what I did with my old hydra/metor sorc. Get meph stuck on the stairs, then fall back and kill him from away. I'm not gonna have good equip to surive long up close so thats what I'll need. I used to do fine with my old pure fire sorc, so I trust it. It'll be hard to beat the game, but I'll just have to find good games:P

Well the all I can say is good luck.

Thank you :thumbsup:

i prefer the meteorb build.....and with some decent equipment you could easily mf practically anywhere. i personally feel the a blizzard sorc is better for purelly running meph and pindle, but the choice is yours so gl whatever you do.

One more question, whats a good mf to have???
As high as you can get???I member in 1.9 it was all screwed up so I dunno what to get now...with the stuff I got, it'll be 413 mf, is that good?

[shock128]

Mfind in 1.10 has changed a lot...like 409% mfind is like having 1000%+ in 1.10. Needless to say you won't be having 1000% mfind in 1.10 so you have to work harder with less finds.

A good set to go with is the Tal Set if you're learning. It has high life, decent cast rate and average mfind. Wartraveler boots are the common mfind boots (up to 50%) Chance guard gloves are nice too (40%)

As for your shield, use a lidless if you're not into high block, or Visceratuant for block.

When you learn about how things work (synergies and such) you can make switches (gull dagger, rhyme runeword) and occulus orb and shako helm for maximum mfind returns.

You should do more than fine with 413. My friend has about 200 and has been finding loads of good stuff on the new ladder... I'd shoot for 400+, but anything over 200-300 is okay... MF mainly depends on luck.
