Helm:
Tarnhelm: +1 skills.
Otherwise, 3 socket Ruby (life), Saph (mana), Topaz (MF)
Rares helms are a total waste of time (godlies from before 1.08 excepted).
Amulet:
Good rare +skills with resists, life, mana, energy, you get the picture. Mahim-Oak is ok too, if you have nothing else.
Weapon:
Shard (Unique blade, 50% fast cast, plus some other stuff). This is the most popular. Needs 51 dex.
Otherwise, necro wand with fast cast, energy, mana, resists.
Other options include Hell Plague (+2 fire skills unique long sword, good for fire sorc)
Culwins point (+1 all skills): if you are old school.
Gull for a magic finder.
Armor:
Heavenly Garb (Unique light plate): Energy, mana regen, low requirements and light armor.
Goldskin (Unique full plate mail, somewhat expensive): Resists
Silks: +1 skills, needs 100 str (kind of excessive for a sorc), expensive
Or a good rare with resists, mana, life, hit recovery. Preferably a Mage Plate.
I've also seen a few sorcs with Twitchthroe (Unique studded leather, for the blocking)
Sheild:
A rare sheild (preferably a grim) with hit recovery, blocking, resists.
Or get Wall of the Eyeless (Unique bone sheild): Fast cast, mana after kill.
Otherwise, Sigons is ok (+1 skills, blocking, and cheap)
If you just need resists, a 3 diamond sheild is cheap and easy to build.
Gloves:
Either Frostburns (+40% mana) or Magefists (20% fast cast). Possibly Chance Gaurds for a MF sorc.
Rings:
Either rares with fast cast, mana, life, resists, or SOJs if you got them. Some people like Manald's for the regen too.
Belt:
Nightsmoke (for the damage to Mana).
Or a good rare with hit recovery, life, resists.
Lenymo (unique sash) is OK too but extremely rare.
Goldwrap for the MF sorc.
Boots:
Preferably a good rare with resists, hit recovery, fast run/walk. Otherwise, you can use Tearhaunch if you have the strength (Unique greaves). The unique chain boots are good for lower levels.
Sets:
You can wear Iratha's gloves + helm to get 30% to all resists and some other goodies. Wear the entire set to get even more resists. You can wear angelic ring + ammy + one other angelic item to get some life, mana, and +1 skills. These are awesome items for low levels.
Hope this helps.
