This is a Sorc that will own the pubs and be a difficult character to kill 1v1. You'll hit the 142 FHR bp and the 200 FCR bp. I'll go over those later in depth. This build is for people semi-rich on ladder, and for very rich people on non-ladder.
Lets go over stats.
Str: Here you'll need 156 for your spirit mon, unless you are one of the top 1% of rich people who can afford a only rumored spirit dragon shield. But don't get your hopes up
Dex: Nothing will go into Dex unless you want max block, however you will not need max block when you have the the speed of this char.
Vita: Here's where it gets tricky. This is where the godly characters will be separated from the weaker ones. I'll go over it later.
Energy: Again I'll go over this later.
Skill Placement.
Put one skill into the following
Inferno
Blaze
Fire Wall
Warmth
Charged Bolt
Lightning
Chain Lightning
Energy Shield
Teleport
Max the following
Telekinesis
Fire Bolt
Fire Ball
Meteor
Fire Mastery
Put the remaining (if you level that high) into ES
This is the gear you will be using.
Helm- 2 Sorc Skill 20 FCR (other mods) rare circ or 3 Fire Skill 20 FCR 2 open socket Magic circ. Which ever helm you use you'll be putting 5/5 fire facets in.
Weapon- 35 FCR Spirit Crystal Sword. Must be 35 FCR!!
Armor- Upped Vmagi, 5/5 fire faceted
Shield- 35 FCR Spirit. MUST BE 35 FCR!!!
Gloves- Magefists
Belt- Arach
Boots- Must have the 20 FHR mod. Can be Viper Tramps, Gspurs, or Treks. I prefer Gspurs but that's just me.
Rings- two Bone Masters or other 10 fcr rings.
Ammy- Fletch, or a ammy with 20 FCR. If you cant get fletch make sure you get 20 FCR.
Inventory
Sorc Torch
Anni
7 Fire Lifers
1 Fire 12% FHR (If you cant get one make sure you at least have a plain 12% FHR GC in your stash)
13 BManas (70 mana, 15 life)
This is where we get in depth. If you can afford the 13 Bmanas go with 75% Vita and 25% Energy. So if you had 100 remaining stat points (you'll have much more) you would put 25 in Energy and 75 into Vita. If you can't afford BManas or don't like using them on account of fear (lol they poof alot) use one more Fire lifer and use 20 Life 17 Mana Small Charms. For stat placement go with 2/3 into Energy and 1/3 into Vita. So if you had 100 remaining stat points you would go with 33 into Vita and 67 into Energy.
Now I'll discuss the break points.
FCR
35 - Spirit Sword
35- Spirit Shield
30- Vmagi
20- Circlet
20- Ammy
20- Magfists
20- Arach
10- Ring
10- Ring
200 FCR you made the break point. You get 7 Frames with this FCR.
FHR
55- Spirit Sword
55- Spirit Shield
20- Boots
12- Burning grand charm of Balance
142 FHR this gives you that ability to recover from attacks like mindblast and WW and tele away. With this FHR you'll surprise people and impress them.
This sorc is extremely fast and dangerous. This is not a damage build but can break away form some of the fastest attacks.
Some may say this is just a rich persons build because they are bored but its not. I prefer this sorc over any other FB sorc build. You'll enjoy the speed of this character very much.
Dueling strategies
Amazon
FarCast- Stay a screen away at all times. One hit will probably kill you so stay a screen away and spam fire balls toward the zon. They'll be running towards you so spam right towards them and hope they're dumb.
Bowa- I find the particularly hard to kill. I usually before the duel ask if they're full dex or if they went with vita. If dex then cast meteor around them then tele away. The fire damage will probably kill them. Also spam towards them. If vita build don't mess around. Tele away until you cant see them on the map then tele back at full speed. Land on top of them and spam downwards. If you mess around at the fringe of the screen they'll kill you easily.
Assassin
Traps- Tele all around them but never stop teleing until they run out of mana. You'll be able to see this because they'll stop teleing around. This is when you go for the kill. go to the left of them, spam towards them, then tele ontop of them, spam downward, if they're not dead tele to the right and spam, then tele on top again and spam. This is a technique I'll call cross spamming and can be very affective for melee chars who can' tele or are out of mana to charge. If they start to MB then tele as far away as you can get because they probably have name-locked you.
WW- These are easy. Cross spam while they're teleing always stay out of MB and never ever tele onto them.
Barbarian
BvC- Cross spam and keep teleing. Never sit and namelock because they've probably namelocked you and will tele ww you very easily. Don't tele on-top of them.
BvB- Very easy. Just tele around spamming towards them and cast some meteors for distraction. after you've got some fire on the ground you can tele onto them and spam down.
Singer- I don't think a guide is practical. But, you want to stay out of his Battle Cry range and just cast Balls in his direction. Cross spam is helpful here.
Necromancer
Bone- These guys are hard because if you land on top of them they'll spear you but if you stay away they'll spirit you. I would go for a tele on top of them and spam if they DO NOT have a valk. If they are wearing a valk i would go for spam towards them and stay teleporting around them. Wait till they run out of mana and land on top of them. Never cross spam against boners. They just spam spirit towards you and you're in trouble.
Summoner- Very easy. Lay down some meteors and get him to tele onto you. The fire damage will kill most of his summons and then spam balls onto him and he'll die form splash damage.
Poison- Stay away from these guys. I would go for the rough strategy of teleing on top of them and hoping they die before you do. Good thing there are not many of these in dueling games.
Paladin
Hammerdin- This sorc is so nice because it is the anti-hemmerdin. Just take your time and spam fire balls at him. Stay just off his screen so he cant tele onto you and spam. Hammerdins are really easy. Never cross spam.
Smiter- Harder to kill but possible. Lay down some meteors and get some confusion going. If they're good at desynching just spam meteor onto you and sit. They'll come right up to you and hopefully get hit with a 30k+ meteor and die. Pretty hard to kill though.
Charger- Easy to kill. Usually sorcs get powned by them but with your FHR you'll do just fine. If they're desynching spam meteor at your and behind you because they'll be knocking you back. Spam fireball and cross spam if they aren't desynching.
FoH- No other way to win. Land on top of them and spam. Start with them off your screen and when they walk into your sight tele on top and spam.
Sorc (The most FUN in my opinion)
Blizz- Never tele on top of them and cross spam without going on top of them. Duel them as you would duel a farcaster.
Orb- hard to kill. Cast meteor in to there tele pattern and when there teleing get on top of them and spam. Here you might want to make a gear switch-up and put a rfrost in or if your rich enough get a 2/20 sorc circ and put a cham in it.
FB- My favorite with this char because this build is better then any other. Try cross spam and never lay down meteor because you'll forget which are yours. Try to get on top of them and spam.
Light- Easy because they're slow. Remember they hit you once and your dead but they're slow and heres how you beat them. Sit on the edge of their lightning and when they're casting it tele slightly to the side of it. Land on the back of them and spam FBs. Never get hit but lightning and don't worry about TS because you have the FHR to not get trapped by it.
There's my guide to the super fast sorc. PM me with any questions and i know i spelled there wrong about a million times.
