I started out my 1st character as a Sorc tried out different builds and thought I found the right one with Nova+Firewall. Sadly, even at level 77 the Archers in Countess tower literally shred right through me.
Now I’ve decided to totally reroll because getting a Token of Absolution is a huge task.
I am thinking of going 15 points in Charged Bolts, Lightning, Lightning Mastery, Cold Mastery and Orb. I have +5 skill gear with decent resists. Hopefully from level 76+ I should be ready,
Am I going about this the right way with a Sorc build?
The Runewords I have is Spirit x2, Smoke with Lore Helm.
My gear is pretty bad but I need to farm.
Go full ice build for dmg+cc. Non are cold immune except tower5 but merc can kill them with insight easily. Let merc tank and keep distance.
Other choice is to make skele summon necro + CE, just dont pick revive because its crap.
countess is immune to cold.
Your merc can 3-shot it with insight.
If dont have it yet, get insight runes from nm tower and 4-socket from nm cows.
How, since you cannot respec?
Ahhhh…
Listen! Do not WASTE time due to the frigging respecs.
- Run D2LOD make a Single Player Sorceress level 1. Save and Exit.
- Run HE and mod your sorceress to level 80, giver all the gear you’re hoping to use, and all the quests done. Give her 400 unused attribute points and 90 odd skill points (for a level 80, for example).
- Run D2LOD again on the modded character, just log in and out.
- Copy all the character’s save files into the D2R save files directory.
- Run D2R and test play your new level 80 sorceress. See what works.
- Exit D2R, re-copy (overwrite) the D2R save files from the previous ones from D2LOD. Start the experiments again, new stats, new skills etc
