Sorceress + Trang Ouls... Question?

[Janus]

This is just a quick question. If you were to put two items of Trang-Ouls on your sorceress, it would give you +18 to fireball. This may be good in any fire sorceress build. Would this not work?

You'd only get +3 fireball.

oskills (that is, skill bonuses not limited to a single class) only give a maximum of +3 to the class that owns the skill.

Aside from the difficulty of finding pieces in the set, and the obvious utility of trading them to a Necro (bone wall + fire wall = helpless, dead monsters; bone prision + meteor = helpless, dead monster; dead monsters + corpse explosion = screenfuls of dead, dead monsters), there is still the problem that having 2 pieces requires at a minimum clvl 49 (torso + gloves). So while +18 to fireball is well and good, a level 49 Sorc is unlikely to be completely in awe of it, given what she is fighting and the other options/needs she has.

A fire wall Sorc build, however, might still be interested (+13, clvl min 62) as might a meteor Sorc (+10, clvl min 65).

YMMV. In any event, it certainly is a fun toy, as the chronicles of Gunther show.

edit: ah, a plus 3 limit. really? Man that's incredibly rude... give away uber skill levels to every class but the one that "owns" the skill (e.g. Call to Arms).
