A more offensive player would not want to divert skillpoints from offensive skills and synergies, so would likely not consider max TK, or max Frozen armor builds for instance. However do note, that people with better connections can afford to play more offensively, and this will have a large impact on the rough ranking above. (I used to have sorcs that could sit in the middle of any non boss pack in A5Hell in 1.09 -110DR/-35MDR is very nice). Both these armours are a no point, one point, or 20 points decision, but obviously 20 points is only for the def sor build (which could prabably tank better through items than pumping one of these for def bonuses)ĭue to my bad connection I have built a bunch of HC characters that can handle lag spikes. They work better (slightly) with a cold sorc build that plans to have high CM (so that the chill/freeze duration is not reduced as much), but CM is not worth investing in for these skills alone. Everyone has their own preferences for these. would be left low to mid range (for + skills to pump it).įloater) Frozen/Shiver Armor. Note that a block or defence build would compliment the TK path, and that TK would be maxed (for syn, but E.S. I have tried this once in 1.10 and the results were disappointing compared to what you can achieve with any of the other items above.
So for example with -100DR, you could be taking 80dmg hits, taking no damage but losing big chunks of mana. IMO the biggest waste of time ever, but obviously many people have other views ) Lack of mana is bad news for a sorc, and the new 1.10 version reduces mana based on damage before %DR, -DR etc is counted. Blocking is just a chance to avoid damage, and we all know Murphy can be cruel at times )ĥ) Defence rating (I made a high def sorc in classic, and she could tank very well, but I doubt that she would be able to tank in 1.10 even with the company of the new defiance merc) Again this is like blocking, its only a chance, and in 1.10 Def seems to need to be insanely high to match what you could be getting from blocking anyway.Ħ) Mana shield. Relying on blocking without -DR or DR% is a dangerous way to play. is not good so I am a defensive player)Ĥ) Blocking. But seriously, having an extra set of mercs and/or minions is useful. Something else for monsters to beat on.ģ) A party. Even if you get hit, it is not as hard.Ģ) Merc (cold/hf or tank type merc). Note that -DR and %DR items don't mix well). My personal preference to keep sorcs safe is, in this order:ġ) -DR (and to a lesser extent %DR but that works better vs players, at least before the new cap. Can we still get -25DR amulets and circlets? Although in 1.10 I haven't done it, and doubt it would be as viable as it was back in 1.09 and earlier. I play HC and instead of going the blocking route with sorcs, prefer to sacrifice everything for -DR gear.
