Re: Huge list of character guides

Fire sorc - AKA flaming farie (PVP)

This is the fire sorc, an evil, one hit wonder in most duel games. granted, some enemies can take 2-3 shots before dieing, shes going to eat them alive before they can get near her

Stats:

Str: Enough to use gear
dex: Enough to use gear
Life: The rest
Mana: None

NOTE: You are going to busing a TON of mana, so if you go with a life build, you will have very, very short rounds before your heading to town for pots, you can go with pummeling into mana (i have seen this before) but if your not good at dueling w/ a sorc its a bad idea, as youll be a 1 shot kill for the most part. you can also go half and half in this, but i personally dont like to.

Gear:

Helm: RARE +2/20fcr circlet with other mods, socketed with 5-5 fire facet

Armor: Vipermagi (up it if you like, but remember the str) Socketed with 5-5 fire facet

Belt: Arachs

Gloves: Magefist

Boots: Treks

Amulet: Crafted +2/20fcr with str/dex/life/res mods

Ring1: crafted/rare 10fcr +str/dex/life/res mods

Ring2: crafted/rare 10fcr +str/dex/life/res mods

Weapon1A: HOTO (perfect res)
Weapon2A: Spirit (35fcr)
Weapon1B: CTA
Weapon2B: Spirit

Inventory:
1x Panni
1x P sorc torch
9x fire gc's (fhr or +life prefered)
10x life/res/fhr sc's

Skills:
20 - Fireball
20 - Meteor
20 - Firebolt
20 - Fire mastery
1 - Teleport
1 - Shiver armor
1 - Warmth

Extra points can go into Warmth, your shiver armor, or teleport (warmth + teleport are added to try and slow the depletion of your mana)

Merc: Now this is BM, but it is a very usefull part of this build and will make things a heck of alot easier if you use one. depending on how you want to play, you can go insight or infinite in weapon choice, depending on if you want to use him only for a tank for the stray missle that comes your way and to keep your mana up, or if you want to use him to deplete your enemies fire resistance even further, giving you a ton of extra damage. remember: if you use infinite, you will have to attack within aura distance for it to help, consider this with how you play your sorc.

A2 nm defense (freeze merc)
Helm: Ber Ber COA, or Ber/um Shako
Armor: Eth Bugged Fort
Weapon: Infinite or Insight eth cv, if you dont plan for him to attack you can put it in any polearm, but why waste the runes?

Strats: there are two different options for how you want to play

1. You can go out there and be a crazy teleporter, flying all over the place and throwing fireballs at everyone in every direction, making it a huge opstical corse for your enemies, if this is your method id suggest using the insight for your merc to keep ur mana up longer
2. You can go out, throw a few fireballs once in a while, but come to the inzone for the kill, coming on screen, namelocking the enemy, and not expect to hit him, but to make him want to kill you, once he comes in for the kill, throw fireballs directly into his location, you can also meteor yourself if your the type to stand your ground. If this is your style, use the infinite merc, as infinite almost gaurentees a one shot kill against most builds
