what to socket tal mask armor with, lucky enough to find the armor today. got max resists or close enough not to waste a slot with um, any one socket theirs. two ptoapzs as last resort i guess? orb to i guess
If you are on ladder, i would suggest 2 perf topaz, for mf. If you want more mf, you can put an ist in the orb (a waste imo). If not you can try facets, which are useful, especially for fire/lightning sorcs.
I suggest to put ptopazes into helm+armor, an allres jewel into the weapon and a pdiamond in whatever non-runeword shield your sorc will wear. With a few poison res SCs in the inventory, a full Tal's sorc will have maxed resists, skill bonuses and lots of MF at the same time.
