Ok, i came up with a resaneble guide for this type of sorc. damage is around 8-12K each arrow on your bow. Am already working on this sorc to test it on b.net, and i will give a respond later to how it works, and if its worth it.
to start with, ill say some breakepoints.
0% FCR = 13 Frames
9% FCR = 12 Frames
20% FCR = 11 Frames
37% FCR = 10 Frames
63% FCR = 9 Frames
105% FCR = 8 Frames
200% FCR = 7 Frames
IAS for a ward bow on a sorc
IAS/Frames per attack/Attacks per second
0 %/16/1.5
8 %/15/1.6
16 %/14/1.7
27 %/13/1.9
42 %/12/2
65 %/11/2.2
102 %/10/2.5
174 %/9/2.7
Now for the stats:
Strenght: Enough for heavies item
Dexterity: Enough for your bow
Vitality: Rest
Energy: 100 (figured with warmth and telekinesis, 100 is enough)
Skills:
20 Enchant (main skill)
20 Warmth (syn-energy and mana boost)
20 Fire Mastery (syn-energy)
20 Telekinesis (more effective mana shield)
1 in the first cold armor
All remaining skills into energy shield
Gear Setup1:
Helm:
Shako socket with Cham
Weapon:
Widowmaker socket with Shael
Armor:
Upgraded Vipermagi socket with 15% ias juwel (just to reach another breakepoint)
Gloves:
Magefist
Belt:
Arachnid
Boots:
Gore Rider (myself i think its a waste of strenght, so here i could use some advice from you guys in the forum)
Amulet:
Highlords
Rings:
2x SoJ
Gear Setup2:
Helm:
2+ sorc skill, 20% FCR circlet socket with Cham
Weapon:
Widowmaker socket with Shael
Armor:
Upgraded Vipermagi socket with Um
Gloves:
Magefist
Belt:
Arachnid
Boots:
I dont know
Amulet:
Maras
Rings:
2x 10% FCR rings with mods
And for the mercenary, ill use a Act1 normal merc with cold arrows.
Here is the IAS breakepoints for a act1 merc with a hydra bow.
IAS/Frames per attack/Attacks per second
0 %/17/1.4
5 %/16/1.5
11 %/15/1.6
22 %/14/1.7
34 %/13/1.9
50 %/12/2
78 %/11/2.2
120 %/10/2.5
215 %/9/2.7
The point is to give her as high attack speed as possible, because she will die by 1 hit whatever you put on her. Best to make as most out of it as possible. Her damage will of course come of the enchanting skill.
Here is her Gear Setup:
Helm:
You need 20% more IAS, so you just have to find a helm wich can provide it. I have some suggestions.
1. Andariel have 20% from before, so you can socket it with a Shael or something else.
2. Giant Skull socket with 2 15% ias juwels
3. Stealskull socket with 15% ias juwel
4. Mavinas Diadem (it already have 30% ias on it)
Armor:
60% IAS armor (very cheap to get. if you are rich and can affort it, give her a 160/60 armor)
Weapon:
Windforce socket with Shael
Well people, tell me what you think of this character, and if it is something wich shoud be different. I diddent wright a pure combat eqipment guide, since am not sure if its worth bothering.
