Mephiran ---Fireball/Ench sorc--- V 1.0
The new soso of KomOpDawn, Written by Hustlegirl

BASIC Information

The Sorceress
A rebellious woman who has wrested the secrets of magic use from the male dominated Mage-Clans of the East.
The Sorceress is an expert in mystical creation ex nihilo.
Though somewhat lacking in the skills of hand-to-hand combat, she compensates for this weakness with fierce combative magic for both offense and defense.
Solitary and reclusive, the Sorceress acts based on motives and ethics inscrutable to most, and sometimes seems capricious and even spiteful.
In reality, she understands the struggle between Order and Chaos all too clearly, as well as her role as a warrior in this battle.

2. Skills

2.1 Cold Tree

Frozen Armor vs Shiver Armor vs Chilling Armor
Only one type of cold armor can be active at one time. You can, however, use one cold armor, with Energy Shield, Enchant, and Thunderstorm at the same time.
Frozen Armor Freezes a Melee Monster that attacks you. For some players Frozen Armor is the most desirable because it Freezes the monster.
Which will give you time to move out of the way, But we are PVP-players so this isn't really important.
Frozen Armor however offers the least Defense Bonuses. Shiver Armor does not freeze but does Cold Damage to a Melee Monster that attacks you, very nice but again we are PVP.
Chilling Armor only works against Ranged Attackers, it will not respond to Melee attacks but will still provide a Defense Bonus.
Because you cannot have all three active at once, it's best to decide which one you will use.
You can however switch between Chilling Armor and Shiver/Frozen Armor when dealing with Ranged vs Melee Monsters. This will, however, require intense micromanagement.

We take only 1 skill in the Cold Tree so that would take FROZEN ARMOR

Total of 1 Skillpoint

2.2 Lightning Tree

All needed spells for a PVP-sorceres are Selected now

Which skills do we really need?
Teleport, your main form of transportation, and it is allways nice to get away at any possible situation.
Energy shield, With this you increase your LIFE figurely by making your mana also part of your life.
Energy shield is getting a kind of damage reduction determined by the level of Telekineses.
Telekineses, The skill itself gives you the possibility of grabbing up items from a distance, and can knockback enemy's.


What skills do we actually put a point into?


+1 to Charged bolt
+1 to Chainlightning
+1 to Lightning
+1 to Telekinese Why not higher?, We will have a nice level of Warmth which regenerate your mana a bit faster then normally.
So i think a higher level is not nescessary. What you could do is get precast gear(This will be discribed in the Item section).
+1 to Teleport
+1 to Energy Shield Why not higher? Dunno Telekineses has allways been more important then ES to skill.

Total of 6 Skillpoints

2.3 Fire Tree

These are your MAIN skills to attack/support/transport, use them as much as possible.

Which skills do we really need?
Firebolt A nice low manacost attack with a faster attackframe then the Fireball but with lower damage, SYNERGY to Fireball!. YOUR SECONDARY ATTACK!
Fireball A Heavy damage exploding ball of fire, YOUR MAIN ATTACK!, Slower then your firebolt though.
Meteor SYNERGY to Fireball!. Nice damage but too slow for PVP goals, To HIT the opponent actually.
Fire Mastery This will increase the damage of your fire attacks.
Enchant Increase the ATTACK RATING and increase the damage of your friend/ally with additional fire damage Most IMPORTANT SUPPORT SKILL of your team
Warmth Increases your mana regeneration in %'s and increase the enchant damage that you do to your team mates.

What skills do we actually put a point into?

+20 Firebolt[/u] YOUR SECONDARY ATTACK!
[b]+20 Fireball[/u] YOUR PRIMARY ATTACK!
[b]+20 Meteor[/u] Synergy
[b]+20 Fire Mastery[/u] Synergy/support of damage.
[b]+1 Enchant[/u] YOUR PRIMARY SUPPORT SKILL! (If it's primary support skill, why not a higher level then?
Because warmth adds way more damage then the skill itself. Plus it gives you a nice mana regeneration which will allmost never leave you without mana.
[b]+10 Warmth[/u] Mana regenration/Synergy
[b]+1 Firewall[/u] Needed skill to gain acces to Meteor, which synergizes FBall/Fbolt.
[b]+1 Inferno[/u] Needed skill to gain acces to Meteor, which synergizes FBall/Fbolt.
[b]+1 Blaze[/u] Needed skill to gain acces to Meteor, which synergizes FBall/Fbolt.

[b]Total of 94 Skillpoints

3. Breakpoints

3.1What are breakpoints?
When you think every single % of your cast/attack/recovery stat on your item counts? That is Bshit.
Diablo is designed with Breakpoints, Breakpoints are %'s on which your attack/cast/recovery speed actually increases in the game.

3.2 What Breakpoints are important for a sorceress

Faster Cast Rate a.k.a FCR



Our build will be having 120 FCR, but as you see the FCR needed for the breakpoint is 105%
The build could also go 105% but then you would need a very nice amulet to cover up the waste of mara.
This way you could get rid of the Magefists (see item section) And use frostburns which will give insane mana.
Just Check item section.

Faster Hit Recovery Rate a.k.a FHR



Our build will be having 89 FHR, but as you see the FHR needed for the breakpoint is 86%
To make this clear, I'm forced to post some items. But ofc Not gonna post all stats.

7% FHR This comes from a 7%FHR/9DEX/9STR jewel that has to be inserted to your Wizzardspike
7% FHR This comes from a 7%FHR/15 all ress jewel In skin of the Vipermagi
60 % FHR This comes from your 5*12% FHR +1 to Fire Skillers
5% FHR This comes from a 5%FHR/17 mana Small charm

Faster Block Rate a.k.a FCR
Ofcourse blocking is important, but we allready have a maximum block rate.
The speed in which we do this is in this case not important since we RECOVER so fast with 86% FHR

4. Items

In this section I'll se short and Strict!
ALL STATS STATED HERE ARE A MUST!

Shako 'BER' Gives you an additional of 8% damage reduction, what makes it the best vs melee damage.
or
Shako 'SHEAL' Only if you want the 86% FHR with no fhr stat jewels in Skin of the vipermagi and wizzardspike.

Skin of the Vipermagi, 35% ressistance/1x damage reduced, Socketed with 7%FHR/15% To all ressistances
or
Skin of the Vipermagi, 35% ressistance/1x damage reduced, +5%/-5% Fire Rainbow facet. WITH THIS OPTION YOU MUST USE: Shako 'SHEAL'
or
Skin of the Vipermagi, 35% ressistance/1x damage reduced, Perfect ruby. WITH THIS OPTION YOU MUST USE: Shako 'SHEAL'

Wizzardspike, Socketed with 7%FHR/9dex/9 str
or
Wizzardspike, Socketed with 9dex/9 str/energy/mana/ress/ress (any 9/9 + other adds). WITH THIS OPTION YOU MUST USE: Shako 'SHEAL'

Whitstans guard, Socketed with a 'JAH' rune
or
Lidless wall, Socketed with a 'JAH' rune, normally used for BO.
But vs. caster characters you can also use this to get frostburns instead of magefist.
This way you still keep the 105% FCR breakpoint, and get additional damage/mana/life

Waterwalks, This will be used when max block is needed, so VS. melee chars.
or
Hotspurs, This one will be used versus fireball sorcs as yourself.
or
Silkweave, vs any other caster not using fire damage, Silkweave can also be replace for 50+ mana, +5% mana boots with additional ress/stats.

Mara's Kaleidoscope, Cheapest solution to gain +2 to skills, stats and up to +30% All resistances.
or
2 Sorc 5%FCR life/mana/ress amulet, This One will be the goal for us since it gives you the opportunity to gain MASSIVE MANA from FROSTBURNS

Arachnid's Mesh. Best belt, keep it this way.

Magefists, First choise, because it optimizes the build together with mara and whitstans.
or
Frostburns, When you dont need whitstans for block and use Lidless or You have a 2 sorc 5%FCR amulet, you use these.

Ring's
These are gonna decide if you fail or win vs elemental characters.

2* Stone of Jordan, Best choise vs Melee characters.
or
1 Stone of Jordan, Combined with 20 Dex Raven frost, vs Melee characters.
or
2* Raven Frosts, Vs Cold sorcs.
or
2* Dwarf Stars, vs Fire sorcs and mostly combined with hotspurs.
or
2* Whisp projectors, vs Light sorc, Fohdin, Trapsin and Light sorc. The use of light ress equip also highly advised.

Charms

5* 12% FHR Fire skillers (12% FHR is really needed on these charms)
4* Fire Skillers with life (can be clean in the beginning ofc)
1* Annihilus 20 stat/1x-->20 ress/5% -->10% experience gained
1* Hellfire torch Sorceress skills 20 stat/1x-->20 ress
1* 5% FHR/17 mana Small charm, This one can be replaced if you use Shako 'SHEAL'
9* life/mana SC's Stats dont really matter but the best would be 20life/17 mana

lol you're an idiot ...
i played with smokes using mediator but no you dont want medi ^ ^ gtfo

He does not even have 400 fg. Why would you bet with someone who does not have enough gold?

And if you so sure he welched, go to scammer forum and post ss of thread, of pm, and of game. Doubt you have it since this only place you trolling.
