Grizabella, the Realistic Fighter Mage

[spear of light]

Bravo! You played her very well. The Amazon Basin sorceress forum seem to think that melee sorcs are doa in 1.10. I believe you proved otherwise. I have an 80th level melee sorc that is a blast to play. Not an uber character, but one that keeps you engaged in the game with time flying by. I have 22 skill points left, so I will max enchant and finish up maxing thunderstorm and hydra. I was afraid that the patch would render her unplayable in act 5 hell where she mainly hangs out, but your success shows it can be done. Per your advice, I think delerium will be her first runeword. I plan on doing another melee sorc when the patch comes out, maxing warmth, enchant and possibly blizzard for crowd control.
