What are good base stats for a sorceress?

flump

Strength: Enough for equip. (PVP enough for SS)
Dex: 0
Vita: ALL remaining
Energy: 0

Nubli

lol flump, thats twice youve posted stats for a character and twice you have posted "0 energy required" for the 2 main energy using characters.

Muse

Strength: (Enough for Armour)
Dex:0
Life:200
Mana:200

This would be for someone who doesn't think they need melee

I always try to keep mana somewhere below 100 - it usually whinds up around 85-90 for cold sorcs, less for fire. Helps reduce the chance Baal will slap me with Blood Mana...

... until a wind druid or bonemancer shows up - then Baal hits everyone with it anyways.

Energy shield isn't going to save you all the time - so no, you don't need the 黚ermana pool. Just don't be afraid to drink a potion every so often, it's not that hard.

I say: VITA! 250+ STR (depending on gear you chose - based on type of sorc... ormus' robes aren't exactly heavywieght gear) MANA < 100.

add at least 50 to dex.....otherwise u will find it hard to attack enemies for melee(incase mana runs out)

Bluefalcon

Why would a sorc have any dex at all? You wouldn't need melee for any reason I can think of, specially not PVP.

Muse

it depends, some people dont like to have to much mana so they run out quiker, so then they need good dex/attack rating to steal mana or life. it depends what suits you

djpyre

An Enchantress would need the Dext - but no other build should. I have never needed to steal mana for any reason, + Mana after each kill is the way to go... or potions. Either way, 50 in Dext isn't gonna help you hit anything past normal - so it wouldn't make sense to put anything there.

What would you steal with some silly little orb, anyways? Like 10 mana at best! Possibly more if you strapped yourself with Manalds... maybe steal enough for another spell... but that's if you're lucky.

Well, i'd say that 50 points in dex is a good thing, simply for the fact that it'll keep your chance to block high..but hey..thats just me

Nubli

my firesorc has a lidless and had something like 15 dex. chance to block was around 12% >.< So now dex is around 80 something and its at about 30% chance to block =O
so in retrospect... no dex is required unless you are using a stormshield.

Soldier

y would u want ss and not enuf block?? block is the best defense in the game, next to zon dodging skills

Allisurd

You need a certain amount of Dex to get a decent block rate. A Sorceress can't take damage, so it's better she blocks it.

willibomb

strength is a must, but not much, shoot for 90 and let items do the rest, don't skimp on mana because energy effects regen rates so you can save skill points that would go into warmth. If you don't waste points there, you can get your skills way up to godlike proportions with the new synergies. So don't underestimate energy's indirect effect on mana

willibomb

and damage

u most definitely gotta have some energy on a sorc otherwise ull always be runnin outta mana real quick like. and some of those spells take quite a bit of mana ie: teleport can use a lot of mana if u dont have it at a high lvl. dex isnt really needed though. vit u definitely need a lot of that more life=longer it takes to die.
