Lightning Sorceress by Elvish_Jedi


These builds are not magic find builds. If you plan on using your sorc for MFing, study the gear and switch it to max your MF%. I have not tested theses builds yet. I did look through the skills and everything ahead of time, and these builds SHOULD work well. I hope this helps people wanting to build a Lightning Sorceress.

Equipment For Lightning Sorceress:
Armor: Chains of Honor (Coh)
Boots: Infernostride
Gloves: Magefist
Helm: Shako
Amulet: Mara's Kaleidoscope
Rings: 2x Stone of Jordan / 2x Bul-Katho's Wedding Band / 1 of each
Weapon: Heart of the Oak (Hoto),if you can afford/make it. If not use The Oculus (Occy)
Shield: High defense Splendor, or Lidless Wall (socketed with an Um or a perfect diamond)
Belt: Arachnid Mesh

Stats For Lightning Sorceress:
Strength: Enough To Wear Gear
Dexterity: Enough To Wear Gear
Energy: 100 points
Vitality: All The Rest
People always say, don't put anything into energy. When I do that, I have to use so many mana potions, it's not funny. If you think you can do with out the mana, put the extra points into vitality.

Skills For Lightning Sorceress:
Nova Sorceress WITH Secondary Skill:
Nova: Max
Thunderstorm: Max
Lightning Mastery: Max
Ice Bolt: Max
Frozen Orb: Max
Teleport: 1
Warmth: Whatever you have left. About 9 points, if you get to lvl 99, and do all the skill quests.

Nova Sorceress WITHOUT Secondary Skill:
Nova: Max
Thunderstorm: Max
Lightning Mastery: Max
Warmth: Max
Teleport: Max (for lower mana cost)
Put whatever you have left, into anything you want.

Nova Sorceress without a secondary build, is almost pointless to put the stats into another lightning skill. You wont be able to max skills that add to damage, so it wont really be that strong. Some people might disagree, if so take the extra points out of teleport and warmth and put them into lightning and/or chain lightning.

Lightning/Chain Lightning Sorceress:
Lightning: Max
Chain Lightning: Max
Lightning Mastery: Max
Nova: Max
Charged Bolt: Max
Teleport: 1
Warmth: Whatever you have left

This is probably the most powerful lightning Sorceress build. All the skills (except teleport and warmth) add to the skills damage. One of the downsides to this build is, you don't have any extra points for Thunderstorm, (which I know a lot of people like to have). If you want Thunderstorm, I suggest you decide whether to use Lightning or Chain Lightning, get rid of the other and put it's skill points into Thunderstorm.
