Just starting after years

[:1]So im making a sorc as a first char because i plan on farming alot to help get items. But the thing is i have no idea what items to use with her. I am also do not know wether or not she should be a blizz or orb sorc. Any helpe with this would be nice, what items to use and where to get them!|||If you want to solo in hell, light sorc with infinity merc is the way to go|||Quote:

Did you miss the "just starting" and the "to help get items" parts?

Meteorb is a good choice, as you can do fine with found gear. Thanks to the miracle of respecing, if you get good gear later you can always switch to lightning.

Collect gems and cube them up to pgems as you level, and by the time you're high enough to start your MFing you should have enough pgems to trade for things like:

Harlequin Crest

Occulus

tal's belt+armor+ammy (3 piece bonus for extra 65% MF)

chance guards (or frostburns or magefist)

nagelrings

war travelers

throw in a spirit monarch and you're good to go (spirit crystal sword until you get occy is good too)

for the chancies/nagelrings/war travs, you'll be trading for mediocre ones, the perfect ones cost a big premium for not that much extra benefit, you can get those later.|||Thank you alot! i will get started and keep those items in mind. Now is lightning spec the best or can cold spec do better?|||Quote:

Once you're geared (infinity, which is expensive) lightning is by far the highest damage output - and more importantly infinity breaks most lightning immunes (but not near as many cold or fire immunes). With low gear you are better off with meteorb or blizzballer or something to that effect.

If you're planning specifically to do runs where there's no cold immunes, pure blizzard is good. For general purpose, and for just going through the game, I recommend meteorb because orb is viable without any synergies, so you can get fireball/meteor all synergized up and orb will still kill the fire immunes for you just fine.|||If you plan on playing on West Nonladder, send me a PM. I'll hook you up with gears good enough for you to survive through nightmare ( up to level 60 ) or so.|||Try find/trade for a Skin of the Vipermagi. An armor. A low one is considered crap by many(even high ones sometimes) and is cheap to buy!

is a very nice start up all them items can go cheap too, tals armor also has mf on it.. I would say use magefist over frostburns. and shako goes cheap now too.
