All beginners start out relatively the same, so I don't see a need to make guides specifically for them. They're going to choose the class and skills they want regardless. To give them a specific setup just to start the game doesn't really work.

As far as item suggestions...when you start out you're pretty much going to run into low magics/rares/sets/uniques. As a caster your priority is getting items that increase your skills or resistances. That's pretty much it. There's no guide needed to get through PvM.

Basically...if you're just beginning...you shouldn't even be planning around a lot of that gear.

As far as costs go...it's too general to tell. The market changes insanely depending on the item and the person you're trading with. The way I see it is if you're both happy with the result...then it's a good trade...and shouldn't worry so much about who's ripping off who.

Arreat Summit has pretty much all the info you need on the items, as long as you know if it's a set, unique or runeword or whatnot.

So for the MF build, my strength should be 80 or 156? I'm confused

good stuff thanks

Will this build be good for newbie?
I played Diablo many patches ago and im not familiar with new changes and got no friends playing (which means i will get only items which i will find on my own).
Will this build be for me (bad gear) or maybe i should choose Blizz build or Lighting?
(I plan to play only PvM and propably with MF gear)

I started out with this build for a while a go, i will certify this build for a starter build. Try to get Skin of the viper magi, two FCR rings, FCR amulet, Magefist gloves and Wizardspike early (although you would need to get to lvl 61 to use Wizzie). That's my advices.

I have one more question... which might be stupid

If sorc can survive in other builds without it, why to use ES at all?

Elysian_Rsa · 09-20-2009, 04:56 AM

Gives the Sorc an edge in some situations. I like Es main for duel since I survive long when I did play. Also give a change from the mainly used builds.
If anything you don't need top of the line items for the es sorc to work good. Thats my 2 cents : / (Not a very good answer for ye) lol

So I've followed this build so far, pretty much to the letter. I'm diggin it so far but cold immunes are still a problem. I have a point in static but I was wondering if I should invest in another Lightening ability? or maybe just 1 point to one of them and invest a few points into lightening mastery? Any suggestions?

Oh I forgot to add that I went the MF route...not pvp.

Just wanted to say this build has been fugging sweet as a long time D2 player, first time proper build xD

I've clocked about 14 hours of play and I'm level 43, although I'll be honest I've been insanely lucky what with a SoJ dropping on my first Andariel NM kill, along with a few other sweet Uniques
