Light MF'er Gear?

Light MF'er Gear?

Hey guys,

I'm going to be making a Light Sorc MF'er and was curious what gear I should aim for?

Second, since I don't know my end game gear, what should I try to get my stats around? I'm thinking 100 for Str to be safe but don't know what for Dex. Max block or not?

Thanks.

I wouldn't go for block unless you plan on tanking. Her Teleport skills is all too valuable, and those Attribute points could go elsewhere (~300+ Points to achieve 75% max block in Hell).

Personally, Ist'ed Tal armor, belt and amy work fine along with an Ist'ed Shako (75% MF), Ist'ed Occy (80% MF), Ist'ed Lidless (25% MF), 50% MF War Traveler Boots, 40% MF Gheed's, and a 35% MF +2 Lightning Skills Magic Amy, with the right charms you can easily attain killing power/speed and max resistances in Hell along with over 500% MF. With this I was finding Ali-Baba's and Titan's in Act 1 Hell easily.

shako (p topazed, no point wasting an ist for 1mf)
chains of honour (survivability shoots through roof and has 25 mf)
weapon switch 1
hoto and spirit
weapon switch 2
ali baba and rhyme only do this if you are killing specific bosses for their drops (eg baal) not for running areas (eg the pits)
chance guards
war travellers
golwrap
2xnagels
gheeds
torch (any class if you cant afford or find, pick up a druid 10///10 for pgs-for res and stats)
anni (sligghtly more expensive but ~3 ists for a 10///10///5 on euscl)
should give decent mf and decent survivability (thx to coh) damage shouldnt be bad for killing things until you switch weapions for last hit.
if you do run areas instead of act bosses use the setup mentioned above by enigmagination with occy and ilidless (use mf jewels instead of ists for cheap if ur short of money)

as to your stats.....
your bound to use either war travs or treks so lets say 10 strength there
10 from bad torch
10 anni
20 coh
2 shako 156-20-10-10-2=114
so around 110 strength if you have the above
if you have better gear you can use much lower strength so if your rich
20 anni
20 torch
20 coh
15 treks
2 shako
156-77=79 strength

so by this, get 100 strength to be safe if you're not sure about budget.
i agree with no max block, just pump life

Just use Full Tal with Ist socket Weapon, ptopaz socket helm and armor. Plus Wartravelers, Magefist and 35FRC Spirit. This gives you plenty MF and other mods you need. Add a few skillers and you are good to go.

I've used that set-up to run Hell with 8-Players and survived just fine, it take some MF SC's with +ResAll to keep up Resistances. You could easily keep the Spirit Shield for Res and Skills if you aren't able to get charms and Ist's for the Lidless.

Annihilus and Torches are mandatory Equipment.

Alright, thanks guys. I guess I'll sink around 100 into Str to be safe and then just pump Vit. Thanks guys.

So which do you think would be better for MF'ing:

Setup 1:
- Full Tals Set
- Chance Guards/Frostburn
- War Travs
- Lidless

Setup 2:
- Tal Belt
- Tal Amor
- Tal Ammy
- Shako
- Occy
- Lidless
- War Trav
- Chance Guards/Frostburn

 

[Pooshy]

am i the only one that thinks using a nigma is pretty good? Stick it into a mageplate and you save a crap load on str and get more into vit, get the skills and mf!

That's a lie.
I use a sorc torch on my pala, since he doesn't benefit much from +skills, and i'm too lazy to trade for a super expensive pala torch. All stats does apply, except for the +3 sorc skills.

 

[KremBanan]

Just for the record:

The resist and attribute-pts from torches will work on every char, regardless of skill.
Only skills works for the given char(ofc!)

Going to be making a purchase soon and really need to know...
