My avenger's got like, pure mana steal/regen equip. He's only on lvl 36, but if I miss like 7 times in a row, my mana will have hit zero. As long as I hit once before then though, I'll have stolen my whole globe back. I want to replace some steal to AR once I get a little more mana from natural mana growth. Frosties are quite useful for him, too. The extra damage, cold damage, and mana helps.

yeah you'll definitely need to utilize the angelics combo, no doubt.

What weapon do you use? I found that even if I hit, I don't leech enough to refill my globe. I usually switch between Sacrifice and Vengence if I run out of pots.

my advice would be to use the most high damage weapon you can find. Its going to be tough going early on because enemies have so little life to leech off of. If you're only doing 20 damage, 10% ll only gets you 2 mana points. But once you get a 100 damage weapon, you'll be getting 10 mana points, etc, and it will work much better. Equip a manald heal ring, and that should hold you over if you get a high damage weapon.

I'm using a rare BH. It's something like 118 max damage. I think I have nearly if not more than 20 percent leach. My damage is near 700. Meditation works pretty well, but it's only on lvl 2 after + gear, so it's still kinda slow.
ElevatorChief: Yes

pure fire's really only successful for dueling. So do you plan on making a dueler (expensive) or a pvm one.
For pvm go like
20 fball
20 mastery
20 meteor
20 frozen orb
10 cold mastery
1 teleport
3 static
rest in prereqs.
this gives you a pretty balanced sorc, that can handle both fire and cold immunes (just not both...)

k thankz...what should i but in attributes or w/e it is like strength dex and stuff
also me and my friend want to know what the staff is caleld that gives +19 to all sorc skills, or is my friends a liar?
May 25, 2005 2:13 pm GMT
oh ya alsoi already put 7 into warmth so is that ok?
and what items should i use
May 25, 2005 2:29 pm GMT
Only 10 in cold mastery? Shouldn't you get at least 17 to hit -100? And your friend is a liar. Nothing gives +19 to skills. And regarding warmth, you really shouldn't have put that many in there. For attributes, you'll want either 55 str and 39 dex for hellplague or 51 dex for shard. That's your choice. About 100 in energy, and rest into vitality.
ElevatorChief: Yes
May 25, 2005 2:32 pm GMT
ya i thought he ws a liar cause he always lies...so know what equipment i should use?
May 25, 2005 5:37 pm GMT
NO! Put 50 MAX into energy. Get an SoJ or two, wear frostburns or magefists, maybe a 3 pskulled helm or something. vitality >>> mana in every way. Any more than 50 points is silly.
I do an objective armor review somewhere, I think for the pally in this guide, look at that for strength. I'd go mageplate or breastplate myself.

dude, you don't need ANY mana. In LoD you can get charms and all that that will do the job for you. MFers don't need much strength, because tal's armor has like an -80% reqs thing on it. I think you need somewhere like 120 strength? That way you can use a good splendor/lore shield.
I'd go tal's armor, ammy, belt (must use all 3) an occy (isted preferablly) splendor/lore as a shield, war travs, chancies, 2x nagels, and a topaz'd shako.
but all life dude, especially if your gonna bot with it, and make sure you level up your merc with you. Get a defensive one probablly (can't remember if its nm or norm/hell that sells defiance ones)
