Final Notes

Myth: you should give up all u can to get high % mf.

Truth: mf is overrated, a person with 500% mf has 253% chance to find a unique. while a person with 750% mf has 280% chance to find a unique. The difference is only 27%, in the long run higher + skills is more useful (by allowing you to do runs faster)

Equipment reasons: these builds are rather easy to accomplish, and are geared toward staying alive and killing fast -- while mf'ing. You might wonder why i use rhyme... just because its a "newb" item doesnt mean its a bad item. The shield owns a 4 x ist monarch easy. (again, staying alive and killing faster with around 550% mf is higher priority than tons of mf)

Stat Reasons: enough str for equip. no dex since there are no dex req's. and finally dump the rest into vit/energy The reason is because -- staying alive is of the utmost priority and i find the 1000+/750+ life/mana ratio keeps you alive well and keeps your mana up decent until the end of the run -- remember we're not cowing, we dont need 1900 energy..

Charm Reasons: easy one. life/mana > mf (greater than sign)

Skill reasons: For the meph sorc, there are no other targets, and firewall is the highest damaging skill in the sorc's entire arsenal. hence.. firewall. You might wonder why i'd choose orb for pindle sorcs -- one good reason... Orb will slow down all of pindle's minions... keeping them off you... as well as getting a lot more experience because u're killing all of them instead of just pindle.. (easy way to hit 99...)

um i think that's all.. mods sticky plz?

EVERYONE THINKS I EBAY IT RELLY BOTHERS ME I DONT

 

[Balbanes]

this guide is intended to give a full sorc layout with easy to get gear that works great and fairly fast... hehe think about how many runs u'd have to do to make back, what u spent on getting that stuff, let alone make a profit. plus most people cant afford all that, (or like me.. i cant afford to outfit 6 sorcs with that.. 1 or 2 yeah but 6? lol)

nova = bad idea for my build since their mana is low and the cost of nova is very high -- however it does work for their skills.

 

[Ghetto_Fab]

i use the set up above, (first post just no occy rings and pavice over rhyme. it does work well, i haven't died on this sorc yet... i can't die i bot hc lol.

 

[-=MastaPlasta=-]

i like them lots

 

[_CM]

@ masta ... if you want to spam -> go void

@topic good job its complete and cold be added into a sticky to help some no... beginners to set up their sorcs correctly

 

[Ferd]

Hrm, decent build. Im usin nova/orb/TS with maxed warmth atm. Been thinkin of building another to hopefully quicken my game speed. Might have to give that one a try. Whats your avg run time like?

Although I do get my dex up to 100 or so to increase my chance to block.

 

[Balbanes]

meph or pindle?

 

[Ferd]

Both

 

[TheFlash]

Is

20 Meteor
20 TS
20 Nova
20 Light Mastery

Any good?

Basically I'm just wondering about Meteor

 

[Extremeblizz]

i'm the king of building sorcies.
on west, my home realm i have like 6 of em with Ts Nova Orb build good for pindle///meph...
As for meteor, it's good for meph, meh for pindle takes tooo much time for my taste, unless ur rich.
u don't need ALOT of points in orb, 1 is enough. it dosen't add that much dmg, u'll get enough bonus from ur items

 

[Balbanes]

meph average at lvl 80 = 44 seconds with 3 bots running at once (so its slower than if it was with 1 bot)

pindle averate at lvl ... 71 = 18 seconds with 3 bots running at once (so its slower than if it was with 1 bot)

 

[Kao]

If I were you, I would suggest a novasorc for pindle, with some sort of extra cold spell (or a lower resistance wand on your switch) for lightning enchanted.

Skills:

20 Warmth
20 Lightning Mastery
20 Nova
1 Static

Gear:
Shako + Ptopaz
Skulders + Ptopaz
Arm Fletch Ammy
1 Wring
1 Occy Ring
Occy
Chances
Goldwrap
Rhyme
War Travs

30+ 7% Mf Charms

Now, you will have roughly 600+ Mf, and be able to pull off 10 second runs and 15-20 second runs for LE pindles.

Mephisto:

SAME Gear.

Skills:
1 Cold Mastery
5+ Static
20 Frozen orb
20 Lightning Mastery
20 Thunderstorm

Tele in, Static 5 Times, FO Till death.

Runs within 50 seconds.

 

[Balbanes]

i can get 40 seconds on meph with my comp lagging from 3 bots, and there are no such things as public white rings on east.

 

[BahamutFLIP]

Actually for Meph, Orb/Firewall is much more faster than Orb/TS/Nova.

 

[_CM]

nova isnt very good for mephi coz it makes more orbs than nova so firewall is better becoz u dont have to move (also dodgemode!)

 

[Summoner[Wars]]

meph average at lvl 80 = 44 seconds with 3 bots running at once (so its slower than if it was with 1 bot)

pindle averate at lvl ... 71 = 18 seconds with 3 bots running at once (so its slower than if it was with 1 bot)

uhh, how do u run more than 1 bot,
can someone give me a link in the forum or somethin?

do u need to use d2loader with multiclient?
