Introduction:

Hi, my name is Étienne and the char I always liked to play is something really attractive. The Lightning sorceress. I tried them all. Es Fber, Vita Fber, Es Blizz, Vita Blizz etc. The sorc i decided to use the the Vita Lightning sorceress. That type of sorc is really underestimated and is godly in Svs, sorc vs sorc duels. It's also good in Sva but without maxblock and damage reduction, it can be hard versus different classes.

The Lightning sorceress has a lot of damage. A lot of people think they have one of the best because they have about 56k lightning Damage. False. The sorcs
with such damage get killed by one or two fire balls/One Blizz... My sorc has a damage of 34k to 44k depending on the setup and the sorc I am facing.
You will learn how to have the best resistance versus all the sorcs you will see while having enough damage to kill them with no problem. Using the 200% Fcr break Point
will allow you to go faster then most sorcs so you can dodge most attack they will try to give you. My sorc, Camry, has currently all the skills needed too boost lightning's damage at the level 94. In this guide, there is some things that are absolutely needed to reach the good attempts. You will need a lot of forum gold depending on the realm you are making the sorc. This sorc is mostly for east but can be used in any realm.
Now that you have an overview of the sorc, let's go to the guide.
_____________________________________________

My sorc's stats are really high.
I will give you an average of what you will/should have following this guide.

3,000 + life
34k to 44k damage
86% Fhr
200% Fcr
A lot of resistance

Here is my sorc using her fire setup.

Gear

Helms:
20/25 Griffon's Eye
We need the +5% Fcr and the +25% Lightning resistance is really useful against tgods.
This is for the Fire and the Lightning setup.

3/20/2 Circ
On East you put 2x 7% fhr/9 Str/30% Cold res and 15% Req.
On other realms, 2x jewel that gives at least 8 strength each with as much cold res as possible.
This is for the Cold setup.

Armor:
35 All res/13 Mdr Viper magi.
On east, you put a raven scarab in it. (7% Fhr, 9 Dex, 37% cold res and 10% All res.)
On other realms, try to get a jewel with at least Cold res and fhr. Without the dex, one of your rings will need 9-10 Dexterity.
Or, you will have to put it in your stats.

You will use this for your Fire and your Cold setup.

Rings:
10% Fcr/20 Strengh/10 Dexterity/Life/Cold res ring
I will not post a screen shot since there is a lot of stats you can have here.
Note: ** The 10 Dexterity is needed if you do not want to put stats into Dexterity.

10% Fcr/15+ Strengh//Life/All resistance ring
Those are for your Fire and Lightning Setup.
xxx/20 Dexterity Raven frost
We will use it depending on the other gear you will be using on your Cold setup with the first Fcr ring I wrote.
The cold setup has some variance. If you don't follow them, your setup can become Bm.

Gloves:
Trang Gloves
They give Cold res with the 20% Fcr.
Those are for your Cold setup. They can be used on the other setup if you want too.

Those can be used on your Fire and Lightning setup.

Wizardspike
On East, you put a raven scarab and on other realms, A similar jewel.

Eshuta's Temper
This is for All duels that doesn't need resistance.

For the rings here, in svs, the goal is to have 400 cold res+raven. Without 400 cold res, you use the two fcr ring with wizardspike.
If you are able to get 400 Cold resistances with Hoto, you use it with the first Fcr ring and raven. 66+ Resistance item with Raven is Bm versus Cod.
• Gloves - Trang Gloves
• Belt - Arachnid Mesh
• Weapon - Wizardspike or Hoto. Wizardpsike+raven is bm. You can use the 10% Fcr bp with Hoto+sanctuare 65 res too.
Hoto and 3/20/20 won't bring you 200%.

In my opinion, any sorc should put at least one point into it.

You will always need At least 200% Fcr and 86% Fhr.
You will switch you Lifer gcs for Fhr gcs when you need too.

Duelling Strategies

• When you are against a Fire sorc: Those sorcs will like to spam fire balls. If they do, tele BEHIND them while dodging the fire balls. If they try to tele stomp you,
Try to get out of that Fhr lock as much as possible. If after a few seconds you are not able to get out, press they key to switch to your second weapon/shield and tele out.
This is called the Weapon Switch Glitch (WSG). They will sometimes make hydras. You are able to tank about 6-9 Fire balls so those won't be a problem. try to avoid them in your screen and shoot Lightning in their directions. Be sure it hits. her thought. If they start doing the "Run+Spam" technique, try the behind tele and if they still do it after
a short time, don't follow them. Just wait and they will come.

• When you are against a Blizzard sorc: Never try to tele stomp blizzard sorceress. When they realise you try, they will just blizz them selves and you'll lose a lot of life.
Their ice blast is really powerful. You, like them, don't want to get tele stomped by those sorceresses. With the 200% Fcr, you Shot+Tele, they will never hit you.
Remember. If they tele stomp you, you can lose half of your life and even die. If you have the right setup, you'll be okay. The only thing you can really do here is name lock them. If they start the Run+Spam, telekinesis them once then lightning them. Lightning has a big fhr stun so they don't have a good chance to get out of that without a good Fhr%.

• When you are against an Orb sorc: They just spam. That's all they do. Don't follow them, just Lightning them dodging the ice bolts. You can use the telekinesis trick as well on those annoying sorcs. You can try to tele stomp those sorcs and Fhr stun them. They will just spam during ten minutes if their light setup is good. So stop trying to snipe her and stomp that girl.

• When you are against a Lightning sorc: It's about the same thing as fire but now, you can tele stomp them. Only fire ball and Ice blast is fast. Lightning is not.
Fhr stun her and she will die. Most aren't 200% Fcr since they think Griffons isn't good. You can't use an other helm than Griffon’s Eye while having Tgods+200% Fcr.

• When you are against a Nova sorc: Try to avoid their tele stomp and shoot at them. That's pretty much the only way. Never go in her nova range too.

Conclusion

Well, I hope you liked this guide because it's the first one I have ever made. If there is some things that I have to fix, let me know please.
