Diablo II Heroes: Sorceress Analysis

In true AD&D terms, the Sorceress is a highly specialized offensive mage with access to three circles of magic: Cold, Lightning, and Fire

Stats Development

It is natural to pump up your Energy levels with each level. Each point in Energy translates to 2 points in Mana and Mana is your most important Stats. At level 30 you should expect to have an Energy level of 150+ (i.e. 23+ levels worth of character points). The other stats you might to pump up are Strength and Vitality.

A Strength of 41 is your target if you want to yield a light plate armor (base defense of 103). Vitality should take the rest of the points.

Dexterity should be overlooked since it contributes to Attack rating (which you don't need at all) and Defense rating which is better served by a good armor and the armor spells you have.

Skills Development

You should pick offensive spells in only one of the three areas otherwise you'll be spreading your skill points way too thin. There are a few skills that you absolutely MUST have regardless of your specialization:

~ Warmth - boosts mana regeneration (recommended level: 5+)
~ Shiver Armor - boosts Defense, freezes enemies
~ Teleport - escape quickly and move through obstacles

All sets have been updated with the latest stats. There's a dedicated section for LoD sets as well.
