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.

Thanks,

~Punk


all the above was taken from dif thread:

this is my 1st sorc and my Question is where do i put skills pts?

is this right?

Skills:
Fire bolt: 20
Fire ball:20
Meteor: 20
Fire mastery : 20
All your prequisits ( or w.e)
1 teleport
1 mana shield
1 Warmth
The rest in telekinisis

pls help me with a guide for skills. i dont want to waste any pts or start all over either. ty so very much

Why invest in Telekinesis if you're not ES based?
There's also no point in using ES at all if you're a vita build.
Warmth should be your next target to max, or if you'd like to have a bit more fun in duels and have no need of the extra mana regeneration, try maxing the Hydra skill.

would half on hydra and warmth be worth it? or just 1 or the other?

ya, i really have no idea ty so much 4 the help m8

Half leveled hydra won't do much in duels, due to the PvP penalty.
Warmth is not offensive, but a passive mastery. 1 is a must, max is your choice.

1 or the other.

If you ever do Tvt 1 into enchant may help party members(Bvc/Bowa/Smiter(helps charge)/Any melee).

(That's if you don't put 1 in Hydra, tho even 1 into that may be helpful to you).
