Light sorc - AKA Sparky (PVM)

This is a light sorc used for Countess running, she will be absurdly fast in her countess runs (as long as you get to the countess in a diecent amount of time) and can hold her own pretty well in most other PVM areas. remember, she is a countess runner, and is after runes, NOT uniques/sets/rares, so we will not be using MF.

With your leftover skills, up the synergies of Lightning and chain lightning, I suggest Nova, then charged bolt. after that you can beef up your shield.

A2 nightmare deffensive (Freeze aura)
Helm: Shako (um/ber)
Armor: Eth bugged Fort
Weapon: Eth CV Insight

Strats:
your merc is going to be your best friend, you will have a considerably low amount of mana for what you do, and your mercs insight is there to make up for it, and it will. BO before you go on your run, locate the temple, go in, and navigate your way through, teleporting past mobs and strait to the countess. once you go in, just teleport into the countess room (i suggest not going directly ontop of her and her mobs, they can hurt) and let your merc do the tanking while you cast some chain lightnings, after 3-4 chain lightnings, you should have her mobs knocked dead, switch to Lightning and blast her away. If there are lightning immunes around you may want to consider retreating and making a new one (this doesnt happen often, but it DOES happen) but my merc was always able to tank them, so i would teleport around just for a second to loosen up the tight mob, teleport onto the countess, and let my merc do the work, grab the loot and leave game.

this will make quick work of the countess, allowing you to do runs in under 1 minute.
