Alrightey...well as your weapon, use Eschuta's Orb. I think thats what its called. Make sure the one you get has good dmg to Lightning. Anywhere b/w 15-20 to max lightning is ideal. As armor, the best sorc armor is Chains of Honor. As a great lightning sorc helm, Choose Griffon's Eye. I think thats the name. It does a lot to max lightning damage. The best shield in my opinion would be a 4 soc monarch with all perfect die lightning facets. I know most of this is hard to get, but u did ask what goes well with a lightning sorc. Hope this helps.

u neednt that much mana... 2 soj -> 50% +mana
Eschuta -> +20-30 Energy
u could only put it up to 70 and it will be fine...
Quote: Warmth - lvl 9well with all the +skills from items u'll get, i think that u needn't 9 pts there. imo 1 would be enough ...
Lightning sorceress - Unknown Monster - 10-22-2004
Thank you 2, i'll do as you said!
Lightning sorceress - Silver Ice - 10-22-2004
dont use coh if u use it u wont reach the final sorc cast breakpoint meaning u will be slow as hell. anyway, use perf 5/5 griffons, perf 5/5 light eshut, perf +3 to lightning ormus, perf 5/5 die lidless. i say lidless because it actually does more lightning dmg then a 4 soc monarch,, if u dont believe me test it out on single player using an editor, use magefists, 2 sojs, arach and either maras or afletch. boots can be silkweaves or some resist/str boots. on switch use cta+lidless. put anni in ur inventory, (try for one with high resists or one with high to all stats) and use about 4-5 light gcs with life. fill the space below the gcs with +5 all resist scs so you will have good resists. for stats use
str: enough for heaviest item (arach)
dex: none
vit: all rest
energy: around +120 or less depending on how much u end up with
skills:
1 to warmth
1 to teleport prereq's
1 to energy shield
20 light
20 chain light
20 nova
20 charged bolt
20 light mastery (fill mastery last)
thats about it.

It might be another 400 dmg or so. And the Final FCR as compared to what you get with a COH on isnt that big of a deal in my opinion. With other good sorc gear mentioned before, your FCR should be fine enuff. And then the COH on will let u stay alive A LOT longer.

I rather use coh...the resists on it rox...
Lightning sorceress - Quiksilver - 10-24-2004
Ya you didnt want to use coh

Lightning sorceress - Quiksilver - 10-24-2004
Ya if you get a 3 to lightning ormus it might be alot better well i ma go on my light sorc and change cuz silver_ice ha made the point that i sould chane up
thx silver**** change

You might want to take off the 20 points in Nova and put them into Thunderstorm. Highly recommended for PvP use.
Lightning sorceress - Quiksilver - 10-26-2004
yes that helps ALOT it is wat finishes my necro off alot

Lightning sorceress - Timetear - 10-27-2004
yup agree with silver_ice .... like summoners duellers ... what is the point of teleing near the guy and let your summons kill it, where is the fun of it ?
Lightning sorceress - medicine_man - 10-27-2004
Similar to what I did with my lightning sorc. This is my ideal light sorc.
Stats:
Strength - enough for gear (duh)
Dex - none
Vitality - rest
Energy - 150-ish, I use energy shield so high mana helps.
Gear:
Shako - I like the mana and life, Griffon's just isn't my helm
Armor - 15% light skill damage +3 lightning Ormus or CoH, I wear Ormus, can't afford CoH
Wep1 - Eschuta's with +3 and 15% or more to light skill dmg
Shield1 - Lidless - socket with Um or facet, I prefer an Um
Wep2 - CtA if you can afford it
Shield2 - Lidless or Sigon's for BO, doesn't matter between these two
Gloves - I like magefists, but I guess Frostburns would be better since lightning doesn't require high cast rate
Belt - Arachnid's Mesh (Meph seems to be dropping these a lot for me lately)
Boots - Silkweaves or Waterwalks, Waters give life Silks give mana
Rings - 2 SoJ's, no substitute here
Ammy - Decent Mara's or +3 lightning skills, your choice, higher damage or higher resists
Your skills look pretty good, but warmth only requires 1 point to be effective. Get Frozen Armor, it's useful. Or you could just get a staff with +1 to the armor of your choice if you want more points in charged bolt.
Hope that helps. If you have any questions PM me.
EDIT: I don't think cannot be frozen is important for a sorc because you have tele. Also, please note that I mainly use this sorc for PvP. A PvM setup might be slightly different.

Woah, since when did light ormus get more expensive than an avg coh?
Lightning sorceress - Silver Ice - 10-30-2004
use afletch instead of maras, medicineman
Lightning sorceress - Rapta111 - 10-30-2004
Except when you're BO'ing, of course, or if you want shitloads of resists. Mara's gives 2 to all skills instead of 2 to a particular character/class skill tree(s).
Lightning sorceress - Silver Ice - 10-30-2004
maras gives like 7 more max, and i doubt people will let u switch amulets in duels.
