How to make nova/light sorc stronger

[jesterlolz]

Hey guys, I've been fooling around with my good old nova sorc, and I was wondering on how I could improve this. I still have trouble with the better bvcs, chargers / smiters, and fireball or pure lightning sorcs. Hopefully, some improvement could make me win these (or at least do better). I saw a pvp thread about somebody asking how to improve on their trap/ww sin, and I thought I'd ask you guys the same question. Its for pvp and sometimes grushing my friends.

Well, just to say, I'm not an expert on Nova sorcs, but my friend has one, and I find TS to be a HUGE part of his build. The lightning and nova will do good damage yes, but TS I believe is very important especially with Infinity.

I've tried the ts way before, and although it does help in some situations, I've found a high lvl lightning to work better against some classes. I only used ts mainly for the fire or lightning sorcs that don't teleport around, but stay in one place and fire at you. Those aren't the ones I really have trouble with.

However, I'm giving some thought into retrying that ts way, just for fun.
