O k, I have been in the PvM scene for quite some time and have really only been comfortable with using a Hdin. I'm one of the moderators of Clan Chx, for those of you who don't know what/who that is, it's a channel that is devoted to the task of leveling your characters from levels 6-60. Now being a moderator, of course you are looked up to, they say "hey he's a moderator, he should be a God at chaosing." Well, like I said, I use a Hdin, but it's beginning to not be enough. While I'm doing around 4-5 minute runs, I see the other runners doing 3-4 minute runs with their light sorcs.
Now this pisses me off. I was once prized with being one of the best our channel has seen. But now, I need to be that once again. So, the whole point of this thread is to get feedback on how to build the ultimate Baal/Chaos sorc out there. I will tell you, I have tried before. Whether it be lack of skill or lack of gear, I have failed. So, here is the gear that has been stowed upon me to use (your feedback is absolutely necessary).
Helmet:Either Shako (Umed) 2/20/(various mods, such as STR+Life/2 OS) or the highest Griffens Eye I can afford (-5/5 Die Facet)
Armor:Either Chains of Honor or V-Maji (Umed/Upped)
Amulet:Maras (25+ Res) or 3 Light Skills/100 Life or also 2 Light skills(20 FCR/STR/RES)
Weap1:Heart of the Oak (38+ Res) , Highest light Eschutas (-5/5 Die facet)
Shield1: Storm Shield (shael, giving me high res boost with high DR) , 35 FCR Spirit Mon
Gloves:Mages (of course)
Boots:Treks (15/15)
Ring1

Tell me the flaws in this guide so I can better myself once again. My old merc died with 1 hit IM. I need to be able to withstand multiple hits with IM, so my whole game doesn't die. Feed back, Please.
