I'm trying to build up a good sorceror in solo-multi. I'm currently clvl 34, and I have been wondering what weapons to look for. I've read Jarulf's guide so I know which items are possible, but since I only bought the game two months ago, my playing experience is severely limited.
The "best build" posts I have seen prefer Dreamflange, but I was hoping for a slightly longer list, as that mace is rather ... unique (no pun intended) as it is the only 1-handed weapon which gives +skill.
The best non-uniques I can think up are an emerald sword of sorcery/heavens or an archangel's staff of wizardry. The sword sounds like overkill for the resistances, but since I have no obsidan jewelry this might be the way to go. The staff on the other hand means giving up the shield. Any comments on shields are also appreciated.
I am currently doing nightmare (caves and hell). Caves are easy whereas hell depends a lot on the monsters. My last encounter with azure drakes (3 games back) was... difficult to say the least.
My current equipment:
Wizardspike
Sword of Heavens(+15)
Mindcry
Stormshield
Obsidian Shield(Ac 8, 39% Resist All)
PS. I am aware that a character's equipment should be seen as a whole, but by restricting it to weapons and shields I'm focusing on what I find most difficult
