Need help with couple of questions

[Peachypeach]

Hi everyone!

I got 3 questions and I need some detailed advice! So I'll go straight to the point!

1. I'm currently having issues picking out the right boots for my sorceress, have 3 boots to choose from, silkweave, waterwalk and sandstorm! I assume each has it's strength and weaknessess, although if it was up to you to choose the over-all winner, which would it be.. personally I'm hinting towards Sandstorm. What's your honest opionion? Now, onto my 2nd question!

2. I've been going through some sorc guides concerning equipments, and even though the guides doesn't explain why they wouldn't runeword anything higher then Duskshroud and Wyrmhide, have I really shot myself in the foot, of imbuing my "Archon Plate" with Chains Of Honor? Although I couldn't stress you enough to bring this up to your attention. I'm totally aware of strength requirement of the plate, although concerning I'm using a Monarch with 156 strength, I couldn't see a reason why I should had gone with i.e a Dusk shroud. Nonetheless if plate affects my cast rate then you understand my concern! And to my last and final question!

3. Would my light sorc have higher dps if I sacrificed CoH for Ormus Robe, with aleast 15% light damage and of course lightning?

Thank you :)

1. Sandstorm, the mods available are superior to the other options. Personally I don't use any of those but go with a duel/tri elemental resist pair of boots. But if you have to pick on then Sandstorm wins hands down.

2. It's all about the strength requirements. Your cast rate is not affected by armor type. Most people use the Duskshroud and Wyrmhide armors due to their low requirements, but since you have a Monarch anyway then there is no harm making the CoH out of an Archon Plate.

3. I'm not really a statistics/numbers cruncher when it comes to games so can't help you there. Personally I'd stick with the CoH due to the huge resistances it gives.

1. eth sands would be best, since they have repair mod, i use marrowwalks on my sorc, 10-20 to str +dex +mana regen

2. heavier armors slow down your walk/run speeds, but if you have the str/dex for them go for it

3. since you can use a heavier armor for coh it would be better, higher def, dr, res and skills are nice mods
ormus 371-487 def is pretty weak, but its fcr and elemental skill dmg would probably give you slightly higher dps
dont forget about lightnings cenergies (charged bolt, nova, chain lightning) give +8%/skill, coh would probably give higher dmg, +48% diff vs 39%+20%fcr
