How to build a MF-sorc
#11
Before offing the topic to oblivion, let me flatly state, that (even though I hate mono-tree sorceresses with a passion), for MF purposes there's hardly any other way to go.
The holy quartet of an MF sorc is:
  • MF % (dooh)
    <>
  • Killing speed
    <>
  • Safety
    <>
  • Movability<>
    [st]The idea is, that you only kill 2-3 monsters per session, but you kill them wearing as much MF as possible (thus: not much +skills). This sort of demands that you have a mono-sorc, getting her power from synergies instead of skill lev 40.

    Another issue is defense: defense in the sense of safety to the character. If you have to take extra measures not to die, your killing speed will suffer, thus lowering your Windforce/Hour ratio.

    Finally, especially if you want to run the harder-to-reach areas (like Meph), you need one who has the moves.

    Ok, MH helps a lot in fulfilling these plans I guess, but for us legit players planning and skill are the only tools at our disposal. I have tried many a build, and my favorite is:
    20 orb 20 mastery 20 tk 20 teleport rest in ES.
    The maxed orb+mastery is sufficient killing power for Andy/Meph/Pindle/many lev 85 areas. The maxed teleport grants you 1 mana teleport (depending on +skills); allowing you to teleport around like a maniac even with a low low low mana supply. The maxed TK/few ES combo is only advised if your mana pool is ~ 800 or more, but it can significantly increase the efectiveness of the character. (Mind you, since you maxed Teleport, even if ES eats up all your mana, you'll regenerate that 1 point fast enough to be able to jump away... most of the time).

    I forced a few people to build a sorc along these lines, and all of them seemed satisfied with the results.

    (If you don't mind playing a paladin, however, especially the ubah-cheese Hammerboy, it might be a better way to go. They seem rather powerful on paper, they seem rather powerful in action, but I have no personal experience playing them since the left-click-cast makes me so depressed that I don't even want to kill Engima WW-sins for days.)
