A shield would be nice. Lidless, Splendor, Rhyme, Milabrega's, Sanctuary, Whistan's, Visceratuant, or Stormshield are some to consider, make your decision depending on whether you want offense, defense, or MF.

The skill layout should be fine, though getting Meteor and it's pre-reqs instead of pumping Firebolt is a more common build.

 

[Holy-Avenger]

Nice build viable all the way.
But still, I would think that maxing meteor is a better alternative than maxing bolt. For one you get a high dmg attack with only like 2 more pre-reqs and two: if you would go that route there's alot more guides about that route, for one sasja's meteorb.
But hey, that's just my opinion. :thanks:

try crafting boots....demonhide boots+thul rune+jool+pamethyst. less effort than trying to trade. unless you can't find any thul runes.

If I where you I'd max meteor instead of fire bolt. Though, you need 3 extra skills to do that becuase of pre-reqs. However, you can cut some on the cold mast to get thoose extra points.

Why meteor instead of fire bolt than? Well, it's a really good skill to have, really nice against bosses. And it is a synenergy for fire ball.

But if you're sure, really sure that you'll never ever use meteor. Than I think the best thing to do is to max fire bolt instead of meteor since you wont need that much pre-reqs.

And well... the boots. They are no good at all to a sorc. A pair of non-uniqe/rare/magic boots would be better becuase of gorefoots high str-req... But since you go with tals I guess you'll have pretty high str.

The final tweaking stage is to work out what you want to socket your gear with.

If this sorc is going to be an MF one, or a full combat one? PvP ?

If MF

Then socket Tals Armor with 1x Ist or P Topaz
Helm with 1x Ist or P Topaz
Orb 1x Ist , or jewl with 10% MF and other useful mods
Shield - if lacking resistance then 1x P Diamond, or 1x ISt if not lacking.

Pure combat Sorc ( PvM, PvP)

Then look at adding Facets with your primary attack on ( if you will use orb in PvP then add some 5/5 facets ) This will help to furthure lower enemy resistances, remember in PvP most ppl have cold resistance maxed with at least 1x raven frost which absorbs 20% cold damage.

If lacking resitance you can never go wrong with P/Diamonds.

Tals lacks fast cast, so going the Orb / Meteor route is a safe option.

For teleporting you might want to have wizard spike and Lidless eye on switch to get your 105% fast cast.

In regards to the shoes, well hey, at least you have all the hard to find gear already ( like Tals, 1x SOJ) so at least its not a big concern right now

War travellers are easy to come by, although I keep getting ethereal ones.

This isnt a drama though, since u shouldnt be getting hit very much. Even ethereal war travellers on my Hammerdin have lasted about 50 hours of gameplay and still on 12/40
