Stats Help for Lightning Sorc

[masterazn]

Hey all.

I'm building a lightning sorc mainly for MF right now.

She's lvl 53:

Lightning: 24
Chain Lightning: 17
Lightning Mastery: 19
Pre-req: 5 (so i have +4 skill)
I also have teleport, nova, static, TS.

stats with items

Str: 107
Dex: 25
Vita:208
Energy: 55


My gear:

Shako
MF Magic Amulet
Arkaine's valor
War Trav
Goldwrap
Nagel ring
Nagel rin
Chancies
Ist occulus
Rhyme shield


Here are my questions:
Should I put anything into dexterity? This is my final gear and this will be for MFing mainly, maybe some PvP (with other gear of course).

And, shoudl I put 1 into ES?

Thanks

1) You don't need block for Meph etc.
2) You can put a point in it, but not use it :lol:
You should only use ES if you have like 2k mana or it will be depleted fast.
You only have 55 energy right now, which is 83 mana, then +mana from your items or whatever. If you're going to use ES, you better start pumping alot of points into energy then.

Alright, I will stay off it then. Thanks yelopen.

(how come you're not online?)

Just wondering here... Arkaines Valor? Yes, 1-2 skills and yes, vitality. No res, highest str req... How about viper? 35 res, fcr, 1 skill...

[masterazn]

Uh not Arkaine's Valor...I meant Skullder's Ire (I always get the two confused...they look the same, they rhyme...c'mon!).



Anyway. I was wondering what equip my merc should get.

I have opted for the holy freeze act 2 merc.

This is what I plan to give him:

-bonehew ogre axe (amn amn)
-Shaftstop
-Kiras/shako/vampire gaze?


I am not rich at all, the items on my merc are probably some of the best i have. What do you guys think? I will be running most of the fast things (I hate teleporting around)...pindle, shenk, travincal....

What will make my merc the most effective? I don't have access to those godly runewords. I do have delirium if that's good for a merc? Give me some suggestions please!

Bonehew, Shaft, and Vamp Gaze work fine for a merc.

[Evrae Altana]

If you have access to an Insight stick, use that on your merc.

[masterazn]

What should I socket the items with? PRubies? Shael? With vamp gaze, will he need amns in the bonehew?
