IntroductionI have tried a lot of light sorc builds here in this forum, but nothing were as FUN, FAST and EFFECTIVE as the 200 FCR light sorc I am about to show you.I am not one of those guys who read a little about the different builds and then make there own. Hrmm maybe I was too, but not anymore. How do I know that this build is working?
I just spent around 150 dollars buying the things it needed, so i have tested it.ES or VITA?I doesnt really matter, but VITA is more effective when baal running. I did make both of them on 2 different chars. The problem with the ES build is the loss of MANA when you maybe are rushing/boosting another person, in ANYA quest for example. Then you are cooked. Vita is much better there.I thought ES maybe was a bit more easy in PVP compared to the VITA build.but in my opinion if you get hit you should be dead, only the good people can avoid being hit. Another bad thing with ES is all prebuffing wich is needed before fighting. If you use memory in stash you have to change it all the time.My personal favorite is VITA.

Socked with a -5%/5% Lightning Facet.WeaponHoto (Heart of he Oak) with 40 all res. Also good for your mana reg and life. For the ES build you can use Wizardspike, many people does that. The bad thing with it is the lost of damage.I like damage and the VITA build, so I use HOTO.Second WeaponCall to Arms 6 to battle orders.
CTA is a must for both VITA and ES sorc!ShieldSpirit Monarch with 35% FCR (Faster Cast Rate). ( There is really no other option here.)Second ShieldSpirit Monarch dont bother about the FCR, you can use any spirit here.ArmorVIPER (Skin of Vipermagi) with 35 res and 12 DR. SOCKED with 5/-5 light FACET DIE. In my build this is the ONLY option, but you can use Fortitude as well with another FCR ring.GlovesMagefist 30 ED. (Magefist is the good because of the 25% mana regeneration and the 20 FCR. Even the +1 to Fire skills will benefit your warmth stat.)I like to upgrade them for fun and they look cool too!!BeltArachnid Mesh (the best belt for any caster no other option.)AmuletCrafted AMU with +2 to sorc skills 20 FCR and other nice adds.
Diablo 2 Best Light Sorc Build
Mine has mana reg and 90 to mana. Res is good here but very expensive.cheaper amu could be 1 to sorc skills and 20 FCR or only 10 FCR, but then you have to go with 2 FCR rings.Rings1x SOJ and 1x 10 FCR ring with 20 strenght or more and fire res is a must. If it has more adds like mana or vitality thats good too. But FIRE RES is very important since spirit doesnt give any fire res.if you go for a cheaper amu with 10 FCR you will need 1 more FCR ring.BootsETH Sandstorm Trek with 15 Strength and 15 Vitality. (we need the strength beacause of the high req of the Spirit.) I even bought some triple res boots, but they are not needed. The only thing you will need is a small charm with fire res and you are maxed.InventoryAnnihilus make sure it has much to attributes as possible.
