hi there.
I have a friend on europe gateway that made a sorceror[slol] who's in the low 30's. I forget his equipment, but i think maybe -light radius items, which would be a key in getting through say normal hell with a potion limit. To begin with, he added his points to dex and strength if i remember correctly. I could send you a link to a forum post but the particular forum is down at the moment. If i bump into him, i'll send him here to reply something.
My advice would be to play it really patiently. Leoric's going to be the easiest chance of decent items and your spell levels are obviously going to be vital. Firewall and Lightning both drop early enough so replaying late church early cats until you are kicking butt is going to probably be the go over attempting the harder foes of late cats and caves. As for staves, they should be used primarily on levels that you are out of your depth in, wasting a staff for a few potential good drops is always going to be a good trade off. Also, there handiness will be more evident when potions aren't dropping so readily. So i would think twice before wasting even say a nice 70+charge firebolt staff in church.
I very much enjoyed playing my SLoL warrior, who ended up as a mule :(, and my sorceror skills can definately do with some fine tuning for ironman, so i think i might give this a go. I'll let you know how i do, or if i get bored and give up :)
Also - just because you seem to be interested in pushing your sorceror to the max - http://p205.ezboard.com/fthedsfcommunityfr...picID=368.topic - marvel at the wonder that drags me through ironman games :)
Oh and Jane, if you are interested, i'm always looking for Ironman partners.
