Light Sorc vs. Cold Sorc vs. Fire Sorc? |
|
I've been thinking of making a sorc for a while, just to try it out. I dunno how much fun I'd have with it, since I like melee's a lot better, but I'll never know till I try. Anyways, I'm wondering how the three types compare in fun factor, as well as effectiveness/dmg etc? The only real experience I have with casters is a 'white' nec, a lvl 33 singer barb, and a lvl 30 wind druid - all of which I almost never use - so I'm completely clueless. Any input would be cool.

blizzard sorcs take less skill, as their attack has a wider range. fireball and lightning/chain sorcs take more skill, like spear using necros, because you have to predict where your opponent will run and cast infront of their run path.
but i honestly beleive blizz sorcs are the funnest, none-the-less.

the only reason you should really have to tele is if you're going against a bone prison happy necro or you're caught up with decrep, cold, and a slow golem (summon necros anyone?). stack up on about 5 or 6 run/walk charms with mana and you're good to go. those charms added with sander's should be enough run/walk for you to survive.

60 is fine, and easily achievable as well. if you have that 2 socket circlet you were talking about, pop 2 shaels in it, and a shael in your viper, and there you go. if not, 1 shaeled helm and 1 shaeled viper, with 4 scs.
then again, you could always try the 42 BP with your viper unsocketed. 2 shael circlet +1 sc. if you find its not enough, then shael your viper.

blizz sorc is the easiest to not get hit with, i think once yoy get skilled enough, a fireball sorc will always be stronger. once you can elarn to teleport and aim properly that is. but if you're new to sorc i would definetly stick with blizzard

I thought teleporting was banned.

if you don't tele against 101 members, it doesn't matter.
i used to just have a +tele orb on switch so that i didn't have to spend any skills in it.

so did i, I just never used it against members But the thing is with pubbies I can own with 3-4 fireballs (or did when my char was still around) but against 101's I could usually get them to half life and then bam I'm dead.
