The Es/Nova Sorceress

This guide is similar to The8thbit's Infinity Es Light Sorc and Billmoney's Pvp T-storm / Es Sorc. Only difference, Nova is your main skill instead of Lightning.

Skill Placement

Cold Spells:

• None

Lightning Spells:

• 1 in Charged Bolt
• 1 in Static Field
• 20 in Telekinesis
• 20 in Nova
• 1 in Lightning
• 1 in Chain Lightning
• xx in Energy Shield - (Enough to hit 95% Absorb)
• 20 in Thunderstorm
• 20 in Lightning Mastery

Fire Spells:

• 1 in Warmth

Note: If you have any leftover skills, you can put them on warmth for faster mana recovery, charged bolt to nk or lightning to attack from a distance.
I personally put the leftovers on lightning. Useful to wear off a necromancers bone armor or a druids cyclone armor.




Attribute Placement

Strength:

• Enough for gear

Dexterity:

• None

Vitality:

• None

Energy:

• Everything else

Note: My sorceress has 778 Life and 2277 Mana without bo.
My base attributes are as follows: 14 Strength, 25 Dexterity, 10 Vitality, 501 Energy.




Gear

Helmet:

• Griffons Eye Diadem

- 1 Skill, -xx% enemy lightning resist, xx% lightning damage and 25% fcr. My sorceress used a -25/20.

Armor:

• Skin of the Vipermagi Serpentskin Armor

- 1 Skill, 30% fcr and 35 all resist. I socketed it with a 9 strength/15 all resist jewel to use as little strength as possible.

Main Weapon:

• Infinity Voulge

- Conviction and -55% enemy lightning resist. Non ethereal to use cyclone armor charges once in a while. Why voulge? No dexterity required.

Switch Weapon:

• Memory

- I used a Memory because I team dueled so no need her low bo. If you want, you can use a cta staff with +3 es or lidless with cta flail or crystal sword.
My Memory helped me hit 4,000 thunderstorm damage, 95% es absorb and gave me chilling armor. Here is a picture:



Amulet:

• Armageddon Fletch Amulet

- 2 skills, 20% fcr, 18 strength, 55 life, 59 mana and 23 resist. You can also use a 2 skills, 10% fcr, 15+ strength, and mana amulet.

Belt:

• Arachnid Mesh Spiderweb Sash

- 1 skill, 20% fcr and increases maximum mana 5%.

Rings:

• 2x Stone of Jordan Rings

- 1 Skill, 20 mana and increase maximum mana 25%.

Gloves:

• Magefist Light Gauntlets

- 1 fire skills for warmth and regenerate mana 25%

Boots:

• Sandstorm Trek Scarabshell Boots

- 20% Fhr, 15 vitality and 70% poison resist. Ethereal for lower strength required.




Inventory

Hellfire Torch Large Charm:

• 20/xx Sorceress

- 20 Attributes is a must and resistance is not needed for energy shield but always useful to have. I used a 20/20

Annihilus Small Charm:

• 20/xx/10

- 20 Attributes is a must, resistance is not needed for energy shield but always useful to have and 10% exp is good for leveling. I used a 20/20/10.

Sparking Grand Charm of Balance:

• 3x 12 Fhr Lightning grand charms

- Needed to hit the 86% fhr breakpoint.

Sparking Grand Charm of Vita:

• 6x 45 Life Lightning grand charms

- Helpful to hit high life without wasting a point in vitality.

Serpent's Small Charm of Balance:

• 6x 5 Fhr/17 Mana small charms

- Needed to hit the 86% fhr breakpoint and along with having more mana.

Serpent's Small Charm of Sustenance:

• 4x 15+ Life/17 Mana

- Self explanatory, more life and mana. I used 15/17's because I ran low on budget and couldn't afford 20/17's. You can also use 70/15's but that’s considered bad manners.

That Is A Nice Guide !

lig>nova =;

Pretty good guide.

Regarding ammy, I found a powered ammy of the apprentice (3/10) work amazingly well for the extra damage. Only problem is the failure in the hp/mana department. Other than that though, great stats for a pure nova sorc.

Thank you.



This is for pvp not pvm.



Thank you.
On ladder I couldn't find a decent amulet so when ladder resetted... just bought me a fletch.

why magefist over frosty?
- isnt more mana better than the extra +1 fire skill for "warmth"

She needs the fcr for 105 bp, if you look closely .
