Fixskills Advice

[SoulSeer]

I'm all over the board with how to fixskills my 72 sorc. I really wanted to hunt the Red Forest, but have figured out the perception/survival requirements to traverse easily are too much tp.

I want to go with a pure sorc. I wear fulls, but am going to doubles because I aquired a set of fusion doubles with some nice wisdom orbs in it.

MnS to 140
MnE to 75% of level
Sorc +21 min, should I dump more?
1x AS, EMC, SMC, MIU, HP, PF
Climbing to 40, swimming to 25, perception to 30
Looking at 1x level Necro, .5x level demon?

Will I have enough for 2x SA?

I always double guess myself and am giving up on concentrating making the Red Forest my primary hunting ground through 85.

Any advice?

1x necro to 90
1x harness power
1x miu
1x arcane sysmbols
1x physical fitness
1x elemental mana control
1x spirit mana control
1x perception
40 ranks climbing
40 ranks swimming - 55 to 65 for nelemar

dump rest in spells - doesnt really mater
drop spell aim until post cap

red forest sucks for sorcerers and forget bowels

have to do aqueduct (OTF) until 90

1x necro to 90 - necro befits 711, 716 double flare ensorcel
1x harness power
1x miu
1x arcane symbols
1x physical fitness
1x elemental mana control
1x spirit mana control
1x perception
40 ranks climbing
40 ranks swimming - 55 to 65 for nelemar

dump rest in spells - doesnt really mater

post cap
1. 22 ranks in CM gets 2 bonuses in CM defense and 2 in disarm
2. 11 ranks demon for manuver defence - splash 5 targets with spell aim
3. Some spell ranks
4. spell aim for implode and baelfire bandits
5. elemental lores to make your DC so deadly
6. up to you - some say max CS others will say max CM
7. trading 10 to 22 ranks do wonders for income

Sorc lvl +21
MnS .66 lvl
MnE .66 lvl
1x AS, EMC, SMC, MIU, HP, PF
2x SA (drop MnS from .66/lvl unless this isnt important for you)
Demon/Necro .5/.5 per lvl (demon i would cap at 52 i think, i believe thats a benchmark for phase)
Anything else you want

overkill. You can do red forest just fine and have the survival/perception you need if you dumped a few ranks

Not sure the advice about hunting areas is quite right. I did red forest (to around 76) and bowels (until 93). Both of them are fine for sorcerers.

1x EMC, SMC, AS, MIU, Necro Lore, PT, Perception, and HP
8 ranks in AU for Doubles
.5x in Climb/Swim until you try Nelemar and then just bump up Swim to around 60

MnS and MnE sound about right. Don't bother with SA. Put all remaining points into Sorcerer Ranks. Don't bother with Demon lore (yet).

Red Forest hunting is extremely easy. Just 703 the druids, and kill everything with Pain. Don't try to knock down targets. Don't hang out in swarms. If the druid spawns a bunch of trees, move out of the room and kill the saplings with 705.

Bowels was easy too. Open with 709+703 (room wide), kill targets with pain (719 does great, but can blow you up). You can handle swarms if you're keeping 709 and 703 going pretty easily. The arms will keep targets on the ground. They will never fall on you. Once in a while you'll die to a dumb fist as you enter a room, but that kind cheese happens everywhere past 50.

thanks for the advice, feel better about my fixskill now

will be my turn for my 43 sorecerer later today. I will probably follow xreds plan unless other people think different. 43 is still pretty young, but the guy I got this sorcerer from had spell aim and other stuff which I have to switch out because I plan on using cs mostly

[Xred]

If you just 1x necro, drop spell aim and demon you have plenty of points for CS. You'll also be able to ensorcel and scroll charge just fine.

I hated the Red Forest, the maneuvers just killed me time after time. This was before phase gave a buff, but it was pretty brutal. And it was like their maneuvers was their go to attack, they would do it 2-4 times in a row.

Maybe you will have better luck than I did.

Spell aim affects more than bolt spells for sorcerers. It allows you to target specific limbs with 708, which is VERY nice. With no right arm they aren't casting or swinging. It is also a huge factor in focused 720. May want to consider keeping it, but unless you are 2x I wouldn't bother.

I would drop a rank or 2 of MnE since he is over .66/lvl. Either way you'll only lose a point or 2 of CS.
