Sorceress
FCR Frames
0% 13
9% 12
20% 11
37% 10
63% 9 minimum
105% 8 ideal
200% 7

Also you need to improve your resistance. Probably start with a 35fcr spirit monarch and magefists. Maybe swap a nagel for 10fcr str fire resist ring and you should do a lot better.

Really ?!? This equipment should be expensive. If she has a CTA, then her life should be high, higher than any starter hell character.

You should have 105 faster cast rate and 75% resist all. Also, you don't need that much str, and I would not bother with max block so no pts into dex needed either.

You can keep most of your gear, only need to swap out a few items:

Quote
My gear:
shako
occulus
CoH
stormshield -> Spirit shield 35% fcr
frostburn -> Magefist
war traveler
arachnid
maras
2x nagel
cta 5-3-1


You will also need a few fire resist sc's to reach max fire resist (unless you have torch & anni).

Regarding stats, since you wont need dex for max block anymore just follow the usual distribution:

Quote
stats:
str - 156
dex - None
vita - The rest
energy - None


For your merc you should change his gear to improve his offense & defense:

Quote
merc:
insight
shako -> Gface or Andys or Vampgaze
shaftstop -> Treachery


Also be sure to have 1pt into energy shield. With these adjustments you should do just fine :D

Hi. Can you write here, how much life and mana your character has? It seems that you have max block (179 dexterity and stormshield) so I suppose that low life may be problem here. Please also tell me, whether you have torch, annihilus, and any skillers or life/mana small charms. Do you have sockets in your occulus, shako and stormshield?

You got many interesting advices above, although after looking at your gear it seems that you need high magic find %. If I can advice, very high magic find does not help that much with finding unique items, it works linear only for magical items (blue text). I will write more about it if you are interested.

you need to get the 105fcr breakpoint, by using a 35fcr spirit and magefists
you need to get 75% fire res, by doing your anya quests, getting torch and anni, and possibly aldur boots or um rune in shako or 5@ small charms
you need to get 75% light res, by doing your anya quests, getting torch and anni, and um rune in shako or 5@ small charms
you shouldn't spend any point in dex
you should get sojs, or possibly defensive rings like dwarf or wisp, instead of nagels

Thank you all for your advices.

So the target gear will look like:
shako - with P Topaz
Occulus - what should i put into the sockets?
CoH
Spirit (got one with 31 fcr)
Maras
Magefist
war traveler
arach
2x nagel
torch
anni


so i got a fcr of 81. with which changes does it go up to 105?


merc:
insight
andy
treachery


after full equiped I will reset my stats.
stats atm:
str: 181
dex: 179
vita: 208 (without cta 667 life)
energy: 62 (without cta 662 mana)

new stats:
str: enough to wear everything
dex: should i go up to 75% block chance?
vit: rest
energy: none.


res:
35, 70, 70, 70


skills:
cold:
1 frozen armor
20 frozen orb
6 cold mastery

light:
1 teleport
1 static field

fire:
1 warmth
20 meteor
20 fire ball
13 fire mastery (rest in fire mastery and then fire bolt)

sounds like a plan?
do you guys have any changes?

Go full Vita. Max Block is not needed in PvM.

If you want the most optimized build for a hybrid sorc, follow this Guide:
