Well I'm trying to make a melee sorc that could possibly uber trist. So DreamOfWinter's sorc guide outlined the items necessary.
It seems that it would be loads of fun but as far as I know a large portion of the equipment is runewords. I was merely wondering what I should make the runewords in to best fit the preferences of a sorc. I've picked up some sockables already, but some second opinions would be nice. Not sure abut how many 5os pbs I can manage since in the guide there are like 3 of them.
Most of the items are non sup unless said to have ed

Dream - I have a 3os trollnest but I'm still iffy on if it would prove to be the
best.
Phoenix - pretty much a 4os monarch right?
CoH - Got a 4os eth 913 def wire fleece, most likely for merc
Infinity - Not sure if I'd be able to get a 15ed eth elite polearm and if so
Collossus volgue or Cryptic axe?
Delirium - Not sure at all about this
Fortitude - I have a 4os 13ed duskshroud
Eternity - No clue
Call To Arms - 5os flail or crystal most likely
HotO -4os Flail is my only option

Sorry for the long a messy post. But thank you for viewing =)

Dream shield: pretty much between Troll Nest and Hyperion. Str req vs block rate. I think Nest wins in most scenarios, if not all of them.

Phoenix: right.

Infinity: I prefer CA, most people do. But I think you'd probably end up using the first one you find. It's not a huge difference.

Eternity: anything NOT eth... you're using the revive charges. So I guess Pb for best resell value since it's the only weapon that cannot spawn eth (and hence cannot take advantage of the Indestructible mod). I made an eth zerker one for my barb. Not a wonderful weapon compared to the other more popular rws.

Others: whatever looks prettiest to you. Sorcs have horrible defense anyway. Don't use superior base items (except for merc stuff of course), the repair cost isn't worth it.
