nice guide, you've seem to put alot of effort into it.

It appears I may not have time to do Class-Specific strategies now. Even if I end up not adding them in, I will still put up various discussions which you may be interested in.

STK 01

Very nice now add in more gear options and cover the energy sheild based

I may make an Energy-based Guide soon.

I decided not to do the class-specific strategies; mainly because then you won't get "the full experience" of "learning the Sorceress".

Besides, those "Basics of Dueling" will guarantee your on the right track.

Very nice guide, i just got some things to point out with ur light sorc build

i play europe scl pvp with vita light build, i've tested MANY different setups and i've made it out to 2 different setups for vita light

1 is to go for the 86 fhr/117 fcr bp, which is the one that u recommend as i've noticed
i don't agree on ur choice of items due to the fact that ur using griffon, griffon is and will never be good in PvP for a light sorc, if u think about it, ur lightning mastery gives about what? 6xx% or so, and by adding a griffon on that with 20% more dmg is nothing, the -25% resis isn't needed in my opinion, due to that every decent pvper atleast here on europe, always stacks resis ALOT, especially lightning / cold, i would rather suggest these items for 86 fhr build:

3 light / 100 life / 2 *Jah tiara
Eschutas (for the sockings of the 5/5 DIE jewel which is needed)
CoH
Sandstorm treks
Trang oul gloves
Arachnid
3 light / 100 life amu
Spirit shield
FCR RING: 20+ str / 40+ life/ xx light/cold/fire resis all is good (as notice i prefere blood crafted rings with possible to reach 25 str and 60 life)
Bul kathos (due to the fact this build isn't relying on mana and with +1 into warmth u barely need to use mana either)

charms: 1* fhr skiller, rest high life skillers, 10* small charms 20 life / xx fire/ Light resis

with all these items included i reach a dmg of 54k, with the skills u've suggested, and a life of ~3.8k life with my own lvl 15 bo, and ~700-750 mana after bo, and with this setup 86 fhr(87)// 117 fcr(125)

with this in mind me with my +22 strength ring i had to stat +49 into strength to be able to use spirit shield

2nd build is the 142 fhr/117 fcr build which i prefere atm, u can do many ways to gain the 142 fhr bp but so far i keep it for myself

ask if any questions and i'll be glad to answer them

with that 86 fhr build i think i've been able to reach the highest amount of dmg with the highest amount of life, the one u suggested u will gain both less dmg and less life

I totally know what you just said right now actually.

I just like making people think about what they can switch out for their gear and whatnot.

Plus I think (if I didn't then my bad) I also said they are sample setups and in no way the absolute best possible (even though essentially there isn't such a thing) and that you, especially with some experience, would be able to figure out for yourself what other paths you can go with the Sorceress.

Also: As long as your past 2000 life any Sorceress is better. And in case anyone wants to bring up Sorc VS Sorc, assuming you hit 3000 life, that extra 200-500 life will not help you against any seriously experienced Sorceress.

ok im not sure if i saw ur statement but it prolly is somewhere

well i've started with light sorc this ladder, so far i think i've made like what? 15 rebuilds? i dunno something like that
i thought and i thought about the best possible equipment and that above is so far the best setup imo for 86 fhr sorc
i even tried a es build with 86 fhr, can't say i got that much of the positive side for it... i reached at lvl 95 around 35k dmg, and like 1.7-1.8k life and ~3.5k mana, the build didn't really surprise me due to the fact that my other builds have been a kind of Power build, with 5xK dmg, and now with 3xK dmg i barely killed any SvS due to the fact that i needed 2 hits to take his mana to 0 to kill it... i would recommend a vita build as u've the advantage if reaching very high life (i reached 3.8k with 42+ life skillers etc) and MASSIVE crazy dmg...

if u do some real calculations on it with 54k dmg vs any char with let's say 75% resis

then u can reach dmg up to: 54k * 0.17 * 0.25 = 2295 dmg
and vs guy with 85% resis : 54k * 0.17 * 0.15 = 1377 dmg

just do the math for urself

Shugo this is a really good guide from ur side and i've made sure it's sticked on the topic about good builds etc, really nice workings with it, just pm or ask me if u got some thinkings about my views etc glad to help

Nice Guide
