Well, I am thinking of making a so-called melee sorc once my present sorc and pala have made it through the game completely! (will be still a while, though
)
Right now, though, I'm considering what skills to give her on top of the apparent ones. Of course I'll have to max fire enchant, fire mastery and shiver armour (I think the damage it does instead of freezing monsters completely plus a bit more armour bonus) are worth the three prereqs to get it instead of simple frozen armour), plus I will get static and manashield. As I'm pretty close to monsters anyway, static should be useful on just 1 point and as for mana shield I hope that +skill items will get it up high enough for me to be actually half-way useful without wasting too many points on it. Same goes for warmth. Still this makes at least 73 points so far with all prereqs (maybe a few more as warmth and mana shield may want for a point or two more
) This leaves me about 15+ more points to use on "actual" spells - what play a melee-sorc for if she doesn't have spells to amplify what she does with her melee attacks?
(as a melee-sorc is probably not the most easy char, every point I place should be well thought about, I guess)
Alexander recommanded getting fire wall (two prereqs more) and with fire mastery maxed it should do quite some dam even at a low level. I've never used fire wall much with any char - in D1 I kept running into it myself and therefore learned to hate it!
And moreover it kind of needs strategical placing of the walls to do me some good! (That's what I hate with most of the fire spells!
)
I'm considering thunderstorm (only one prereq I'd still miss after going for static and mana shield), a point in lightning mastery (with +skills that point is definitely not wasted) or/and chain lightning. *loves that spell even though it was way more useful in D1* With my first sorc - that I played more melee than everything else - I cast CL a couple of times and got rid of most of the hordes immediately surrounding me, so it's not completely useless.
Another spell I'm considering is frost nova to freeze monsters close to me (as my armour only slows them and gives damage).
Visit me! Well, why not? ;)
