They pretty much broke everything relating to weapon swapping. When we seen this in the 1st beta weekend, a lot of d2jsp pvpers tried very hard to encourage Vicarious Visions to fix these problems, but they did not listen.
As far as Sorc, I'm not so sure Teleport is going to be enough to make them dominant.
The problem with Sorc is that they leaned heavily on those old bugged mana SCs. All the strongest Sorcs that actually could compete in SvA, had bmanas to bolster EShield:
https://www.d2vdm.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/4493_big.jpgNow that bmanas are gone, Sorcs are going to be getting hit a lot harder if they try to use Eshield setups. That's a lot of mana loss with no bmanas.
I think most of them will have to ditch Eshield now and actually use gear that provides DR% and everything else like other classes/builds, which will lower their damage output.
I don't know, I don't think Sorc is going to fair well in SvA pvp. But SvS should still be pretty fun. We'll see.
As far as making a bugdet a Sorc? I'm probably not the best person to answer that question, but I don't think a Sorc will be as expensive to get going in pvp as some other characters.
The only real expenses in mandatory gear would probably be Sorc Torch, Anni if it's even possible to get a hold of one, Arach, CTA, +1 Sorc Skillers which have got to be expensive still
With other gear you could probably get away with throwing together some kind of janky setup like this:
* Wizspike or Spirit + Spirit Shield or Stormshield
* Shako or some rando +2 20% fcr circ
* Vipermagi
* Arach
* Magefists or Trang gloves or something
* Some budget boots
* Rando +2 amy, bonus if fcr on it
* Couple FCR rings, bonus if get a hold of SOJ
You could probably get away with that in pvp even without CTA and without many skillers. That's considering that everyone else is probably also playing with super budget setups.
On eu we never had those charms, we still reach 4,5k to 5,9k mana, the difference was that we was allowed to precast ES. SO only 5 skills invested to es base. 20tk ofc. Which gave the sorcresses a little more highly needed dmg ^^
