This is not a cheap build, to get the best results, you have to spend some currency.
The two BP's we will be hitting is the 142% FHR BP and the 200% FCR BP.
I am going to supply you with the ladder build and give non ladder alternates for the gear where available.
Legend:
Red = Ladder
Green = Non Ladder
First off, the stats:
Strength: Enough so that you hit 156 strength w/ all your gear on to use Spirit.
Dexterity: None, too much is required to hit max block with a Spirit, and it is not needed.
Vitality: This is where all the points you don't spend in strength should be going.
Energy: None, since Fire Bolt doesn't require much mana, somewhere around 2.5 mana cost.
Secondly, the gear:
Helm: ~> 14 FHR/20 FCR
2 Sorc
20 FCR
2 Os
Any circlet with ATLEAST these mods will do, anything extra is total dependant on what you can spend on her, but these stats are a MUST. Some suggestions for extra mods would be:
Strength
Life
Socket the circlet w/ 2x 15 All Resistance/7 FHR Jewels
Amulet (In order of importance): ~>15 FCR (20 If you use Fletch, but that's 5% overkill)
2 Sorc
15 FCR
Strength
All Resistances
Life
Mana
Armageddon Fletch
Armor: ~> 30 FCR
Up'd Vipermagi
Socketed with a 15 All Resistances/9 Strength jewel.
Weapon: ~> 40 FCR
40 All Resistances Hoto Flail
Shield: ~> 35 FCR/55 FHR
35 FCR Spirit Monarch (35 FCR is a must, mana/sorb is up to you)
Rings: ~> 20 FCR Total
2x 10 FCR Rings w/ Strength/Mana/All Resistances
Belt: ~> 20 FCR
Arach
Gloves: ~> 20 FCR
Magefists
Boots: ~> 20 FHR
15/15 Sandstorm Treks, eth or non eth, your choice.
Grim Spurs
Switch:
CTA/Spirit
Inventory
This is where is gets a bit more to your likings.
You can either go:
5x Lifer Fire Skillers
4x FHR Fire Skillers
1x 5 FHR/All Resistances Sc
9x 20 Life/11 Singel Resistance Sc's
20/xx Sorc Torch
20/xx/xx Anni
This inventory setup hits the 142% FHR BP EXACTLY. ~> 53 FHR
or:
10x 5 FHR/Single Resistance or All Resistances Sc's
1x FHR Fire Skiller
9x Lifer Fire Skillers
20/xx Sorc Torch
20/xx/xx Anni
This inventory setup overkills the 142% FHR BP by 4% FHR. ~> 147% FHR
The dueling strategies:
Dueling strategies cannot be written due to the fact that I cannot tell you how to use your Sorceress, all I can say is that they take practice to learn how to aim your FB's.
In the end your sorceress should end up with:
2.5k+ Life (This can be up to 3k+ if you get the best possible lifers etc)
700ish Mana
142% FHR
200% FCR
20k Fire Bolt
21k Fire Blast
If you put a point into ES (which I don't recommend because it messes with the build and you won't get enough mana), you will end up with about 60%+ ES without a prebuff staff.
Thank you for viewing my guide, any suggestions/comments are useful. This is my first attempt at a guide anyways. smile.gif
