I'm pretty bored right now. Waiting a Realm Down and a scheduled maintenance on my other game. It's a load of crap, the maintenance, they don't do any fixing or ****, just whack off while we have to do random ****. So... I decided to share my build.
.:Infinity + Energy Shield Light Sorceress Build:.
There's many builds that surpass this one in on-screen damage, but they have downfalls, just like every other guide. With the total - Enemy Light Resistance counted in, this build makes PvM (sometimes PvP too) easier.

Strength: Enough for Gear
Dexterity: Enough for Gear (No max black since no Shield)
Vitality: Base
Energy: Rest
Stats are always very self-explanatory :rolleyes:
Skills
20 Lightning
20 Lightning Mastery
20 Charged Bolt
20 Nova
1 Static Field
1 Telekenesis

X Energy Shield (As much as you need to reach the 95% cap)
X Chain Lightning (Rest here)
