Melee Sorc No Longer For Show? Hint: "Passion"

[razen]

I was just thinking. The part hardest about melee sorc to use enchant effectively is the slow attack speed.

IAS obviously conflict with FCR in many many ways. Want fast teleport? Well, you can't have fast attack rate.

but what about... passion?

zeal with the sorc... wear dual dream dual dragon to enhance damage, the rest of the slots can be devoted to FCR.

right skill on zeal, left skill on teleport. 2 auras on all the time, fast attack speed right after teleport.

workable?

:tongue:

It's for uber trist, but uses dual-dreams/passion and fort. Never tried it since it's expensive, but I assume it works well.

Passion PB is pretty standard for a melee enchantress yes.

I have a question, there's two melee sorc guides:

One's focused more on elemental damage (HoJ/Dragon/2x Dream) and one seems more focused on physical damage (CtA or Passion/2x Dream/Fort) which is more versatile and which is more fun? I have exactly zero experience with melee sorcs so I'm curious..... I can't build both :tongue: so if I was going to try and get together the gear to build one, which one would be a good start?

oh man, everytime i thought i thought of an original build someone did it already. looks like people studied the 1.11 runewords to the very core already

grrr...
