Equipment for a Lightning Sorceress

[ducheca]

Hi,

I am really new to Diablo and I don't know all of the different items you can get yet.

But could someone tell me what would be the top/optimal equipment you would use with a Lightning Sorceress. I have a lightning sorceress right now and she's only about level 21 or so right now, but I wanted to know later on once I reach higher level (80s, 90s), what kind of equipment should I get?

Thanks!

Here is the Optimal equip for a light sorc
Start from the top working down:

Helm: Shako Works good. Socket it with um, pdiam, or PTopaz for MF
Ammy: Mara's or Rare with +Sorc light skills.
Weapon: Eschuta's Temper Eldritch Orb/Heart of the oak/Occulus/Deaths fathom
Armor: Chains of Honor
Shield: Spirit Monarch
Belt: Arachnids
Boots: War Travs with high MF
Gloves: Magefists/Trang's Claws
Rings: SOJ's

A p diamond in a helm gives you Attack Rating .. pretty pointless on a sorc.

Also you might want to add lightning facet as sockets and Gryphon's as helm, depending on what you consider "optimal" killing speed or survivability

Edit: and don't forget the Infinity merc :p

You won't be able to afford any of what Razor mentions for a really long time, not until you start MFing and trading.

What you should collect:

Peasant Crown (a unique War Hat) or a +3 lightning skills circlet
A +3 lightning skills amulet
Nagelrings or + to mana rings; SoJs if you get one cheap
Sandstorm Trek boots, Silkweave boots, Infernostride boots
Gloom's Trap belt (Excellent belt, even good at high levels when you're rich)
Magefists or Trang-Oul's Claws
Eschuta's Temper is sometimes cheaper than The Oculus, but Wizardspike is cheaper (and easier to find) than both
Stormshield, Spirit if you're on ladder, Lidless Wall or a Rhyme runeword shield
