The melee sorc

[UnforgivinAngel]

sounds kinda dumb. I mean a mele sorc? There all about casting and staying safe while the mele keep the enemy away. Oh well if it works it works. I just think it sounds dumb.

just because they work well.

but... but... the melee sorc DOES work well. have you read the enchant sorc arcticle at dii.net? crazyness, beat hell.

i would think, str for equip, dex for max block, rest vit, no nrgy.

skills would be, max enchant, warmth, firemastery, TS, light mastery. + pre-reqs, and you hit 110.

Dude, if it didnt work decently, I wouldnt have been the only one crazy enough to try this build back in the 1.10 beta... lol. You can dig up my old thread if you want a look at what people had to say

 

[WildfireFX]

bah.. melee sorc has not appealed to me..ever.

seems kinda dumb IMO. If you want to melee, get a barbarian.

 

[Kao]

Or a Warcry Barb...or an Elemental zon....(For kicks)...

I dueled a melee sorc a while ago. She did 15k+ damage, and was damn-near immpossible to kill.

They make great duelers(youll rarely find fire-immune duelers.)

Warmth-max
Enchant-max
Fire mastery-max
energy shield-10+
shiver armor-10+
-preq-

that leaves you around level 80.

Jsut some thoughts.

 

[EEX_ca_aok]

Exactly. Add Thunderstom to the mix and you're set

 

[UnforgivinAngel]

holy hell 15+k damage for hitting a guy on a SORC?!?!?!? (wonders a name for a mele sorc) Thats unbelevable.

i dueled a melee sorc... she owned a lvl 98 pally(melee) my lvl 84 trapsin, a lvl 85 necro...she owned lots more 2..... she used a beast zerker, valor, ss, and i dont know wat else

Haha, now EEX_ca_aok reminded, imma try my holy bolt pally soon!

I dunno why i said that.... sry peeps =/

Anyways, heres my thoughts on melee sorc's skill:
-20 warmth
-20 enchant
-20 TS
-20 Thunder mastery
-20 Fire mastery (if it works with enchant, which i dunno =/)
-1
-1~20 energyshield
-1 teleport (jus in case)

And now you have it.


My favourite skill outlay 4 the "hybrid" melee sorc is this:

20 Enchant
20 Warmth
20 Fire mastery
1 Fire bolt
1 Fire ball

1 Static
1 Telekinesis
1 Teleport

And, if you want Energy shield:

1 Charged bolt
1 Lightning
1 Chain lightning
1 Energy shield

Note: if you use energy shield, I recommend putting 8 points into Telekinesis to have a 150% ratio.

20 Frozen orb (4 Fire / phys immunes)
1 Ice bolt
1 Ice blast
1 Glacial Spike
1 Frost nova
1 Blizzard
1 Frozen Armor
1 Shiver Armor (your armor)

All the remaining points should go to Cold mastery.

Like a throwing axe barb... ha!

i kno its good to get out of the cookie cutter builds...but still common a melee sorc!? ppplllease this is the most rediculus idea :S....but still just my opinion

If you are going to make a 1.10 melee sorc the one weapon you WILL want is a beast weapon (runeword) and doom for secondary (turn wearbear then attack fast with fanat). This will let you go into wearbear form and be able to take damage while running at people. Melee sorcs can do an INSANE amount of damage, but they really don't do that well in duels still. It's way to hard to actually hit people Also you will want a lot of faster run/walk if you want to ever catch people to kill them :/ Have fun
