CLASSIC sorc gear

I am playing sorc in classic...

Are the potential best gear in classic mainly rares?

Im going all-blizzard to do a little mfing...

I was wondering if anyone have any good suggestion on a good leveling scheme since there aren't any way to do baal runs.

Thanks

Good uniques for sorcs are Shard, Ward, Goldskin.
From 20-50 lvl in Norm/NM cows. Flayer and CS runs are the way to go after 75.

Don't forget the tarn helm and the SOJ plus I always liked Silks of the Victor.

basic setup:

tarn, shard, eyeless or milebrega shield,
rare mage plate: life res mana fhr high def
rare boot with r/w res
rare rings with mf/fc/res/mana or nagels
ammy +2 10% fc mf res ammy
glove magefist

level in cs runs

run hell andy, meph, travincal

Just incase you were wondering about the maximum mf in classic, its 425%.

The gear is this:

Helm - 3 soc with Ptopaz
Ammy - Tancred's
Armor - Tancred's
Weapon - Gull
Shield - Milabrega's
Glove - Chance Guard
Belt - Goldwrap
Boots - 25% MF Rares
Rings - Nagelring x2

ps: forget mage plate, chain mail looks way better

You can get more mf than that i think, maybe prepatch boots have more than 25 mf, and fortuitous rings of fortune have more than 30% mf

ya, i have a couple of those rings on classic, one 33, one 34 (if not deleted already). and the prepatch boots get up to 30 or so.

the best equipment is duped rares. the next best is the rares for most cases. the few exceptions include gloves (magefist or frosties aren't beatable), rings (sojs), possibly shield (if you need the fcr, its wall of eyeless), and possibly weapon (shard for fcr), and possibly helm (tarn, but you can find better).

you would do better off finding rares for the rest of the equipment, if you can find good ones.

silks of the victor is good, but its a lot of strength required. same with goldskin. i prefer low str rare armor with life/mana and if i can find some fhr, all the better. another good alternative is the twitchroe. although its usually a zon item, its got dex, str, fhr, and block (i think).

If I remember correctly, you can't get 3 socket helms in classic. So the best mf helm is a perfect tarn. I might be wrong though, but so far with my classic sorc I have yet to see a single 3 soc helm. Also, for more mf, replace those boots with tancred boots and use a 3 soc ptop armor. And whoever said that the rings and boots can have higher, they are right but I don't think those are around anymore. Best rings though I think are magical ones now with something like fortuitous ring of chance as its mod or something. Anyway, try to shoot for low str items, can't waste too many points in classic unless you intend on getting to a really high lvl which takes much longer than in lod.

i have seen a 3 socket helm on classic, i own 1. they may not spawn in v1.10, my classic information is a little outdated.

in classsic, you can't get 4 socketed armors. the best way to get mf out of a shield/ammy combo is tancreds. you can get 1 socketed armors, but that is only for rares/uniques, and it costs a soj.

fortuous (sp?) rings of chance get good amounts of mf. there are rares still around that have both of those mods. but they are pre-patch.

Your'e right, however I was thinking classic ladder, which is where I play, and 25% is the highest on boots. Also Pnagels are 10x more common than 30+% mf rings. And yes, 3 soc helms are very popular in classic; I have a mule devoted just to holding them and Pgems.
