I find it fun to make a level 1 character and "speedrun" in pubs with people. I don't mean the boring sitting in town while someone rushes you. But actually fighting along people, in a relatively balanced game. But what would be some good items for a sorc lvl 1 to 60? The initial objective was to be able to get the socket quests and hellforge at least on norm+nightmare. Hell is with my normal gear so it's irrelevant. Here's my list so far
lvl 1:
-free infinite gold, buy items from charsi
-+1 str amu/+2 max dmg rings
lvl 6:
-flawed gem bow on merc
-sigon+ str charms
-idk wep, +3 nova staff or orb akara?
12 blinkbat 10 frw 40 fhr
lvl 15: angelic rings/manald heal, don't have amu but eye of etlich is perfect and tarnhelm +1 skill hawkmail cannot be frozen 10 frw
17 stealth runeword for fcr frw mana regen
20 sander boots for 40 frw
23 magefist gloves 20 fcr
25: spirit sword
27 lore helm +1 skill
28 peasant crown 1 skill 15 frw
29 viperskin body 2 soj tearhaunch boots 10res but 20 frw from 40 OR lvl 31 ik boots 40 frw 44 life
45 aldur boots 50 life 50 fire res 40 frw, mavina belt 20 frw
49 trang arm 40 frw
54 spirit shield monarch
62 shako
65: credenum belt 15 res
67 mara
for shield sigon until nm then anci pledge for 48 res. splendor has high lvl 37 req and 1 sk 1 fcr not worth it and rhyme only 25 res.
merc:
act 1 bow lvl 5: 3x sock short bow, 2 flawed topaz 1 flawed ruby (dmg)
helm+armor=??? isenheart??
act 2:
weapon=??? blood thief 12 life leech
15: hawk mail, cold res
17: merc duskdeep helm, 15 res
18: blood thief + perf skull for +4 life leech
20: venom ward, psn res (very good for baalruns wave 2)
25: blood thief + amn for +7 life leech
27: insight
31 rockstopper helm (res+phys res)
38: shaftstop um (phys res)
41 vampire gaze um (phys res+life leech)
45: guardian angel um (max res)
I think that on normal, it's a waste of time to bother swapping out sigon with anything from the floor drops Only the weapon matters but I don't have anything good. 18= spire of lazarus??? frw charms are important, res or life arent. but res matters at nm and a mana pool for tele. and fcr. a bit of def and fhr too. but these are details
