starting suggestion:
20 telekinesis
20 ES
20 teleport
this need lvl52
after this max warmth, 1 point to enchant and fire mastery, rest again to enchant
merc: cure, insight, any armor (stone or smoke preferably)
with ES you dont need fr/cr/lr/dr, just pr. much more important is integer dr/mdr
core pieces: 105fcr can be aquired by viper+magefist+spectral shard+1x fcr ring or amu
keep in mind, your important stat on viper is mdr while @ is negligible. so this should be very cheap/selffound. shield: upped whitstans 'eld' for high block chance and fast block. helm: anything with 3sox for combinations of sol/mal runes. boots: fhr/plr/pr. amulet/rings need 10 fcr total. switch: memory staff
all gear slots/stats not mentioned: pr/plr/fhr/rep/dr/mdr/dex. just take what you find
inventory: low anni and torch if possible (keep in mind that also off-class torches supply stats and res and are cheaper than sorc). light skillers
stats: enough dex for max block with whitstans. str for gear. split rest on vita/energy depending on ES lvl
DISCLAIMER: i have experience with playing on budget, but not with HC specifically. dont hold me responsible
