Re: Best sorc to start with?
Rush is far more productive than mf, so I suggest you start with hybrid sorcs. I started with CLFO, but lost due to lack of +skills that she desperately needs, and the str and dex req for Spirit and Max Block.(my mistake)
As I see, people say Meteorbs are not as item-dependent as CLFO, so go with that. (Full Tals ain't that expensive, and kinda like a Mal for the time being. That's around 10 NM rushes needed.)
Btw, make the sorc you plan, rush NM, when you have enough stuff, go to hell.
