Possible LLD melee sorc?

This sorc have any potential? The melee classes don't really seem to want to duel with my lld casters so I'm thinking of creating a melee.

I feel that the sorc has some... >> << potential as a lld melee
Energyshield because the sorc won't use mana.. a great max block shield at low level.. warmth/enchant (ar/damage/Helps es mana regen).. Cold armor for defence.

Any ideas what I should use for gear? or rather.. if its a good/bad idea?

No idea what to use for weapons.. somebody suggested two hand insight while have spirit/viscer for a cold armor prebuff.

Max cold armors and mastery, get max block and use as much +to skills as you can. Then just melee people, use shiver on melee, chilling on range. Oh just realized its lld, you might be able to get away with maxing shiver and then whatever left in mastery then chilling.

 

[DayDream]

Can only put one in cold mastery and the most I can get into cold mastery is 10points with gear/1hardpoint. -65 cold resist.. I don't think that it's enough to kill.

A quick rundown on the enchant skill
At level 30 with a max damage skill point build for and a full caster eq for dueling the damage on enchant looks pretty unimpressive.

Level 20 warmth
Level 13 enchant
Level 1 fire mastery
2 points prereq
5 points discretionary

+2 fire skills circlet
+2 fire skills +3 enchant +3 mastery orb
+1 sorc visctertuant
+1 SoJx2
+2 fire skills ammy
+1 fire skills magefists
+1 skills vipermagi

+3 all
+1 sorc
+7 fire skills
+3 enchant
+3 fire mastery

Level 27 enchant adding 746-925 (836 average)
With the double thing from mastery ~1159-1437 (1298 average)
1298 / 6 = 217
217 / 4 = 55
55 - 15 (SoE) = 40
40 average damage per hit from enchant, and your attack speed would be terrible.

You can make a variable melee sorc, their rare, but they work. To make it work even remotely with ES takes some charms though. If i was to build one, and i could get nearly perf gear lol, i think i would do something like this:

+2 Fire w/ Visionary mod 2 sockets (from lazurk) 2x Sheal'd or res/stats jewels
Twitch/ Shroud/ Viper Sheal'd or res/stats jewel
6 sheal'd Naga (i didnt check ias, im just throwing ideas out lol)
Magefists/ Bloodfists
Visc Eld'd
String/ Deaths
2x SoJs (Gelics if needed for conc barbs)
+2 Fire ammy with life/mana/ar
Sanders/Cow Kings/Tri res boots with at least 30 rw

Switch: Insight Staff with +3 Shiver +3 Chiling (can that spawn for that lvl?)
OR Raven Claw w/ Sheal OR would a range 4+ weap with a lot of speed help her any like a fc druid? Just a random thought lol.

Prebufs:
Enchant gear that Fed mentioned above.

+2 lite skill circ
+2 lite ammy
2 SoJs
Viper or Shroud
+2 Lite +3 ES orb
Visc
For your ES prebuff

Charms: Fill in res gaps where needed, Fill Fhr gap so you make the 86, rest should be 15/12 life/mana sc's (at least to where you can get them) Frw charms also might be useful here as well for catching runners.

Stats:
Enough str for gear
Enough dex for max block
Zero Vita
Rest into Mana

Well... Thats at least how i would gear her. I cant think about skills atm, id have to sit down and think about that really. But the only points you should even spend would be 1 into tk, and the rest all dedicated into the fire tree. Dont think you will need tele any, but i guess thats up to you.

i dont think so... anything ow will shred this little life sor

836 / 6 = 140
140 / 4 = 35
35 - 15 = 20

Unless you're hitting them with all the gear I mentioned you're cutting the laughably low damage in half. I'm rounding everything up and assuming no one is stacking by the way.

836 / 6 = 140
140 x .05 (95% res) = 7
7 - 28 (soe + vmagi) = -21 (you heal him)

For cold armor
I'm just going to assume all the gear works out for cold as well with mastery and the armor in place of enchant and mastery.
Level 14, 19 and 7 with hard points maxes you out on skills. I assume you'd use ES in a staff for prebuff.

404-461 (433) damage and -90% to their resistances with shiver armor
147-190 (196) damage and -90% to their resistances with chilling armor

433 / 6 = 73
73 x 1.15 = 84
84 - 15 = 69 damage

196 / 6 = 33
33 x 1.15 = 38
38 - 15 = 23 damage per ice bolt

This is assuming they haven't stacked resistances at all and are simply sitting at exactly 75. I'm also assuming godly rares.

Gear wise.. which melee class is cheapest,effective, and easiest to find? Druids seem difficult with the whole +2shift,fury and whatever. This sorc probably won't work afterall.

 

[inanefedaykin]

Well, dueling isn't cheap. You're probably looking at a level 18 zealot though, you can remain competitive with 15 maxers which are only 1hr (on east).

 

[akumaxxyz]

smiter is #1 no contest for cheapness and effective melee.

 

[crawlingdeadman]

kickers.

dont need max/ar charms, dont need max jewels, you get dr% and res from fade, you get a nifty teleport like skill. the ar is so high you may as well be auto hit. hardest to get piece of gear is a claw and it's actually pretty easy to shop.

 

[DayDream]

hm..ideal kicker gear? Are they able to take on other melee classes in a fair way? oO Melee gear*
