light sorc

[sic_of_it_all]

hi guys,

after making a blizz sorc, i want to build a light sorc now. I'm willing to do this because i got my hand on a infinity (traded it for a 19/20 druid torch).

after reading the guides, i have some questions left. But before i will ask them i will let you know my gear set-up. remember it is a PvP build. The gear set-up is as this:

Griffon's Eye
Arachid Mesh
Spirit
Magefist
Waterwalks
2*soj
Mara

so let the questions begin:

1st: COH is this the best armor for a sorc, i want to use a upd viper. what is your opinion about this?

2nd Spirit, very nice stats, all a sorc wants. but it got high strength requirements. Do you think it is smart to do this. it will cost me around 200 vit after bo :undecided: . what do you guys think about this?

any other suggestions about my equipment will be appreciated :laugh:

my skills will be the following:

1 warmth
1 telekinesis
1 teleport
1 thunder storm
20 charged bolt
20 lightning
20 chain lightning
20 lightning mastery
the rest will go in to nova

with this gear i will have 140 % faster cast rate. is this enough? with upd viper i will have 175 % FCR. what do you think is the best option.


and my merc will be wearing a eth Stone+Infinity+Vamp gaze.


tell me what you think guys :thumbsup: all :idea: are welcome. i know it is a long post put plz read it and give some advise.

your resists are terrible with the current setup, you might just get picked off by a dreamer with the current build

i thought infinity was two-handed? so spirit is not an option

regular vipermagi with perfect res and mdr > upped vipermagi. the defense makes no difference and all it does is take up your strength requirements. better to have more vitality

if your going with such a low-res setup then i would suggest trying out the e-shield/lightning sorc

or put the infinity on the merc for pvm

is it? COH got all resistances +65, my spirit got +35 and HOTO got 40. so +170 including anya quests. not to bad i think :shocked: or is it?

yes your right, the infinity is for my merc.

if your going with such a low-res setup then i would suggest trying out the e-shield/lightning sorc

if my resist is to low, i will read this guide again. but i think my resist isn't to bad.

or put the infinity on the merc for pvm

it will be there for pvm, but i will ditch the merc for PvP.


thx gor your reply, hope you will respond.

@ everybody, give me some advise

Well, if your wearing a CoH, your already over 100 strength with the strength bonus from CoH, so might as well go for the Spirit since your so close. And if your using the CoH/Spirit setup you might want to consider Sandstorm Trek for boots since you will have to invest a lot less into strength for the Spirit, and it gives you huge poison resists and fhr.

If your going Vipermagi setup, then just use a Um'ed Lidless.

117% is the fastest fcr breakpoint for lightning and chain lightning (different from other sorc spell fcr breakpoints), so you want to go for that.

Griffon's Eye (25%)
Arachid Mesh (20%)
Spirit (25-35%)
Magefist (20%)
Waterwalks
2*soj
Mara
Hoto (40%)
CoH

gives you mroe than enough, and in this setup your resists are good.. I'd just consider sandstorm trek's, and for the Merc's armor and helm I would change to Ethreal Andariel's or Ethreal Vampire's Gaze and Chains of Honor so he can survive hell through leech and good resists. Ethreal stone is good too though :P.

yes that is true. but the strengt will be a problem i think. but with torch and ani it will be manageble. i will do this, it will give me nice resist and fhr.

yes your again right. i think i will change the boots like you said. that restist and fhr will help me alot.


thx for your help mate, now i know what to do and build :flowers:
