Magic Sorc

[gdavge2003]

I'm currently a 4x sorc, specializing in the magic branch (haven't even touched the left branch at all). So far in r2, I've just been using crappy equipment that comes by me, int, wis, vit, rings/earrings, whatever. Only 30 levels, and it'll by quick. As I'm nearing r3 though, I need to get some good equip, although I have no idea what stats I should focus on as a r3 magic sorc.

I'm guessing I should get the m.atk earrings, 2 +8 int rings, and then buff my equipment w/ int and vit stones. However, I'm curious as to what the other stats, such as wisdom, luck, dex, offer, and if another combo might be better than an int/vit one. So, what's the best build for a magic sorc?

Red pixie - seriously - no RP = no magic sorc. But if you've made up your mind about it - go int/vit, when you see your spells miss a lot - take some (max 2 imo) wis stones instead of vit. I'd take 1 vit nad 1 int ring - if you have no problem with hp, switch to 2x int rings, or take 1 int and wis ring instead of the vit one and go with full vit/int stones build. Use blue chips and get RP

what i did was i have a 16 vit and a 10/10 int/wis ring on.. in my gear its got 4 wis and 3 int 3 vit.. the wisdom is so much of a help if ur going to be soloing dungs.. sleep is ur best friend.. and u need a tanking pet.. though with the rp if it can keep agro off the rp else its going to get raped alot.. but some times if ur sleep fails ur in alot of trouble esp in pp..

Thanks for the suggestion pozar. Don't worry, I already have a r. pixie. So from what I see, Int is the most important. I should get Vit for the rest of the sockets. Wis helps magical accuracy, and I should get it if I want to dungeon solo. Although I didn't know magic sorcs can dungeon solo... isn't it only limited to dirk sorcs w/ tanking pets?

Tanking pet is a must fo dungeon soloing. And it has to be able to get and KEEP aggro - which is very hard with RP, even with red chipped mob... When you start using blue chips, RP's dmg will be 200% but the other pet will be 100% still - which will make it even worse And I doubt you'll be able to kill ++ mob while the mob is howling-buffed (provoked)... It might work if you could stun that mob though - take yeti as the other pet, at R4+ they can be quite helpful in that matter... Or duo with breeder and look forward to those luna chips, that KTS got on 27th Dec (bonus to patt AND matt)
As to killing surface mobs - thay should die before even being able to touch you
