The last few characters I've made have been melee-orientated, so figure I'd go with a caster this time

In Bernard Cornwell's rendition of the Arthurian legend, Nimue was Merlin's most promising young student, and turned out to be even more powerful/crazy than the man himself!

Rules

• 1.14d, no external programs or modifications
  
• Hardcore (S&E allowed)
  
• After level 12, staves are only weapons allowed
  
• Ladder runewords are okay
  
• /players8 for progress
  
• Boss reruns minimum of /p3
  
• Countess reruns can be /p1

Goals

• Have fun!
  
• Find a Stone of Jordan
  
• Reach Hell LK
  
• Don't RIP in Pits this time
  
• Make Memory in a nice base
  
• Infinity? (ambitious)
  
• Mang-Song's number three? (silly)

Build-wise there's no restrictions (besides the staff thing obv), but I think after the usual Fireball through norm I shall give Blizzard a go... have to say I've not played sorceress all that much, and y'know I've never made a Blizz sorc, so could be fun!

So without further ado, let's go! Screenshots through norm are minimal, saving for NM when it gets interesting


First unique, would have come in real handy too, if I could use it


My favourite kind of ghost Ran Tower for the usual Stealth + Leaf.

Soulflay from something random!


Nice, Strength for merc incoming


No probs! Wow I forgot how much faster sorceress is

That's the tedious bit out of the way!


Stats/res entering NM


Of course Bloodletter drops from Corpsefire once I go caster

Den no probs. Still pure Fireball with a few extra points in Static and Frost Nova, don't know when is good to respec, guess when I find a good Blizz staff




Dang, sorc would have been nice.

cool

i like the idea of staff wielding in general, but blizz have made it pretty underpowered compare to 1h+shield and thats quite sad

you can use some nice insight staff and get es for better safety

i wish you luck and good progress

Thought Rakanishu dropped a nice merc helm, then remembered it's annoying


Sign of things to come!


Cool beans. So for reruns, main aim is Sol runes for Insight, Lore, and Memory. Need bases for all three, of course May cube up to Io/Lum, we'll see!

just stay fire once u done grinding the hell out of andariel
u know her fire res is terrible
