New Sorceress

I'm a complete noob when it comes to Sorceress' but they look interesting so I want to try them out.

I've been looking at some builds but I see that the Bolt/Blizzard mixes are only good with a lot of twink items.

I was thinking of going mostly cold with a little fire mixed in for a different damage type.

Strictly for PvM, any suggestions?

As for stats, STR and DEX only enough for gear, maybe some VIT, and ALL ENERGY?

Re: New Sorceress

I found that for PvM a CL/FO sorc is really good.....its effective with minimum twinking, but has a high potential ceiling for when you can afford the best. Also makes Countess runs easy as she's FI/CI. Two crowd-attack spells mean you tear through enemies screens at at time. The only downside is its not as effective in massive direct-damage for 1v1 (ie boss) fights as a meteorb build, for instance.

Check the various guides for more strategies for stats, but all-energy is a waste usually unless you're going for a ES build since you get lots of mana and regen from endgame sorc gear, and if your merc has insight that basically will give you all the mana you need even at base energy.

Re: New Sorceress

You might try a meteorb or blizzballer, they both do cold and fire damage and are pretty good builds.

As for stats:

Strength: 156 for spirit monarch (if max block than enough for heaviest gear)
Dexterity: none (or enough for max block. For pvm I'd go no block unless you're playing hardcore)(of course if you go max block you won't want to use a spirit monarch)
Vitality: Rest goes here
Energy: None (put an insight on merc for mana regeneration)
