what happens when u get bored? melee sorcs... |
|
ok so i was so bored last night on d2 i was debating whether or not to go watch my front yard grow instead of mfing andy/meph/pindle and getting nothing but rejuvs and bling... and as a last chance 4 not boredom i decided to try and shop 4 a godly foh stick/hammy stick. but instead i ended up w/ a scepter with vengance charges. and i got thinking does neone else think it would be possible to make a decent melee sorc out of this? because as far as i know the masterys of the sorc up the ele dmg from vengance so when i wrote it down on paper it looked sumthing like this
13-enchant
1-firemastery
1-coldmastery
1-litemastery
x-warmth
rest in either es or shiv armor?
then 4 items
p-crown
vengance scepter
angelics jewlery
deaths combo
ck?
spiritshroud
not sure but sumthing with good block... suggestions appreciated
i know it doesnt seem the "greatest" but ide really like to experiment with it. so if u guys have ne suggestions on what i should do with skillz or items it would be greatly apperciated. and feel free to throw critisism in my face cause i dont plan on winnin ne major tournys with this chick... even though that would be pretty cool

for a good block my suggestion would be whistan's Guard shield from the Orphans Call set it has max block rate on sorc's and fast block rate and some defense too and u can always soc it with some nice jewel imo hope this helps u!
*oh and what lvl u are planning to make this char on? it helps too in deciding it and other skills/items if some has something to say
*edit

I was always under teh impression that vengeance takes your physical damage and converts it into elemental.

A LLD Enchantress using a Zeal charged scepter, built properly, can handle all but the very best melee LLDers. The ideal build would probably be a defense varient using eth/rep/100 ED/2 OS/-req/Life ornate plate, either cubed eth Rhyme Grim or 90+ def/eth/rep/deflecting/2 os shield if you don't need CBF, and so forth.
An offensive build would be good too, but she would need high AR from charms and 15/70's for the ES to do her any good, since she'll be getting hit a lot, even with max block.

13-enchant
1-firemastery
1-coldmastery
1-lightmastery
rest- warmth
equipment
[/u]
p-crown w/ p-rubie
spiritshroud w/ p-rubie
ck
scepter w/ lvl 5 vengance charges
angelics jewlry
Visceratuant w/ p-rubie

If you really want to make a melee sorc, use a zeal charged scepter. not a vengeance charged scepter. Most non-paladin characters not using kingslayer (?) can't use vengeance as effectvely as they use zeal.

I used to have a melee sorc, the best way to make one is to use a scepter with zeal charges. use a +6 enchant staff and + skills gear to prebuff then switch to melee gear
