Maximized CS Sorcerer

[Sharnath]

I have a 50 sorcerer that I would like to hunt again and would like him maxmized for the best CS he can have. He uses a runestaff. Below is how he is trained now. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Should be something like:

MnS - 30
MnE - 30
Sorc - 70

I'd even out your magic skills training to at least 1x everything before going over that in anything, though I might consider fully 2xing AS as an exception if you intend to infuse scrolls.

You can probably drop some ranks in Perception if you end up in a squeeze to afford triple training in spells. Perception is useful but not a priority to single in as a pure, IMO. If you require still more points, you can drop HP to singled until later in life. Training over your level in HP is quite a harsh example of diminishing returns.

Can you please post the wisdom and aura stat bonus' so I can work the formula to see how high a CS you would have, in relation to the suggestion Briar Fox posted? I know that a flat base with that listed training is about 230 CS. That would not be including the the bonus from elemental targeting (+14 CS) and the extra CS from the aura/wisdom.

And the 230 base isn't much higher that what you currently have at a min of 222.

Mmm I think max sorc CS at level 50 would be 33 minor elemental (assuming you will be using 425 at all times) and then the rest into sorcerer circle (stopping at 110 sorcerer spells, but you wont be able to get that high anyway).

I wouldn't recommend this at all, because there are tons of important minor spirit spells, but I think this would give you the most sorcerer CS for your level.

Thanks for all the input so far.

Why 1 point of survival?

[Sharnath]

Couldn't remember what got foraging tasks from the AG.

[Rolton-Sammich]

No skills needed to get foraging tasks.

[radamanthys]

FA and Survival will get you skinning tasks, though, I think.

[Sharnath]

I knew I did it for some reason. Thats too much free exp to just leave laying about.

[Celephais]

You need half your levels worth of ranks of skinning and FA to actually get skinning tasks, you're not currently getting them. They're also a really bad idea to have unless you have someone skinning for you or much better than 0.5x in skinning skills, when it comes to "fast exp from bounties". Because you're not getting skinning tasks means you are getting another task that's easier.

[Sharnath]

I have a very capable skinner and a stock pile of skins so I'll need to adjust that training. Thanks for the information.
