Why I chose level 75 to be of a respectable level is because if you get a character to lvl 75, you have shown to me that you know how to exp and you know how tedious it can be.

Throughout the guide, I will be using level 75 as a target as well as for general comparison purposes. This is a guide after all, but do keep it mind that lag can occur anytime and anywhere and it is still better to cover all bases than to be sorry later on. If you feel some of these defenses are extra and you can do without it (such as 3D tower shield instead of WotE, or more hp and mana at the expense of fast cast), feel free to do what you want. I will also assume that you are building a sorceress for the purposes of leveling it up to a respectable level in hardcore (around 75), and not one meant for PKing and dueling.įor this purpose, this guide will give advice on how to build a sorceress with adequate defenses and maximize longevity with safety being top priority. Many concepts such as that of the EHP (effective HP) concept will be first introduced and used in subsequent sections hence it is advisable to read the aforementioned section first. Over the course of this guide, I will assume that you are reading it chronologically starting from Hp/Mana Balance first and down. This guide is written for new hardcore sorceress players, but even experienced sorceress players can find invaluable information here and fine-tune their playing style. Looking at the ladder, one can see that the Sorceress class is one of the weakest classes. The purpose of writing this guide is to promote the Sorceress class primarily in Hardcore, but also extends to Softcore. However, few people can play a sorceress well, and the fragility of a sorceress makes it altogether a different playing experience as compared to other classes let alone the differences of playing one in hardcore and softcore. Given the various skill trees in fire, ice and lightning, there are plenty of opportunities to explore and try variants. The Sorceress class is one of the more fun classes to play in Diablo 2, and usually one never gets bored of playing a sorceress.
