Well i've decided to build a Werebear enchantress.I have no idea how viable this build is for pvm or pvp (mainly be using in pvm i guess) but it should at least look cool.....
Ive decided to go with the following skills
Max
Warmth
Fire mastery
Enchant
Energy shield
Telekinesis
but i have no idea in what order to spend these points, or what my kit will be (except ofc Beast for shifting skills).
So if you've built one before or just have have some suggestions on kit, gimme a hint... although im not hugely rich so try an keep the high runewords to a minimum (contemplating using a fortitude but not sure that even 300% will help a sorc greatly)
Ill be charting my progress on this thread (how much i suck at pvm for basicaly the entire game).
Oh and if you see me in game... please dont laugh :D
Get Dream Helm and Shield. Max Light Mastery. Max Enchant/ES/Telekinesis.
Note Enchant is for AR only not for damage. You'll get alot of Dmg from dream.
Shift then switch to some really fast weapon (5Ethshael Pb or equiv) you'll do godly light dmg. This is from what I got from the forum I plan to make one myself someday.

hmm 2 dreams is a bit costly for me i think, although if light mastery does effect the aura it would indeed be godly.Definately something to think about so i will probably be building this twice to test that out :)

Well ive started (at last!) used the standard method so far,
lvl 1 - 15 ran every quest in norm act1 with a good party, nice and easy walkthrough (yay)
15-21 walked through act2 with 8 player party doing all quests, made myself usefull by teleing (when i reached lvl 18) and staticing everything in sight, only skills spent 1 in static 1 in tele (+pre reqs) 1 in enchant (+ pre reqs)
21 - hit act 3 but struggled to find a party to do every quest with, ended up doing just qs 5 and 6 due to my extreme weakness, again made myself usefull with tele static and low lvl enchant
22 - 24 walked act 4 doing qs 1 and 3 with a small party again used static to be of any use to other players (yay for static, hide behind a big butch pala and just keep casting)
act 5 no games again, so only qs 1 2 and 5 done (twink time after ancients made a spirit sword using qs 1 and 2 then muled mage fists and viper)
25-40 teled to baal, enchanted mercs and players, hide at back due to weakness again
Nightmare - decided to chicken out and get a rush :(
42 - tele to baal (repeat *yawn*) put on snowclash and am now pretending to be a Blizzard sorc.....sweet

lightning mastery will increase damage dealt by holy shock aura. Same for fire mastery and holy fire aura. With good equipment you can break 100k total dmg. I have used the exact same build and got 80k dmg without all the godly prebuff equip.
Enchant also adds a truckload of fire dmg...not just AR. The fire mastery bonus is basically calculated twice. Once on the enchant and once on a melee hit (for the sorceress only).
You will have big AR and Res problems. There are guides for this build also.
