Best CS sorc build

[GsJersey]

Dark Elf sorc. Level 30, 1 stat fix left and 1 day till I have to solidify everything.

Pretty much, I just want to focus on best CS build. id like to use a shield unless the runestaff really is the best option. Old school shield just seems to have better DS or maybe im wrong.

This sorc is my first one I am going to stick with and primarily a hunter in shattered. I have no plans currently on infusing ect.

Id like to just get what the best training plan would be since i am going to be with the character to cap. Also what might be the best attack, since i am using primarily 705 cause i cant stand that 702 takes like 4 hits or more to kill things.

I was planning on using the stat maximizer bringing all but influence to 100 then i currently have 425, +21 in sorc list and 8 in minor, 1x shield but i cant afford anything else with the TPs. This is a tough class

Any input would deffinately help, I have a day left to settle everything permanently.

bit easier to read

More climb, less swim. I'd shoot for 15-20 ranks personally. Dying to critters is one thing. Dying because you can't make a climb to or from an afk hunt sucks due to being fairly avoidable.

Will the build work as i am doing it with a little more climb?
or is runestaff better road .

Just did last fixstat for the 100 and it is ruff

If you are building a CS sorc, why do you need 2x spell aiming.

For FI I know, but why?

If your going to be a CS sorc, just go all out and drop the spell aim.

If he were to drop spell aiming then it would make his primary attacks 702 705 and 719.. possibly 717 because his CS will be high enough to get an endroll of 200+. Depending on his ranks in the 400s he could use 409 (like the old Mana Disrupt) and 415. And in the 100s possilby 110.

Things to consider. He isn't considering infusing scrolls. So shouldn't he 1x in brawling or atleast .5x in it for DS?

How about 1x in SMC so he gets better mana returns from 719?

One other thing with this. Since you are using a shield, you will have a better DS in full offense. To not plink as much with the spells. You could channel for more damage.

Some of the most fun of sorcery is limb disrupt though dude. You need spell aim for that!
Up to you wether you want to miss out on that.

Do you need spell aim to use limb disrupt, or do you need it to use the focused/aimed version of it?

[Asha]

Spell aim for focused. Focused is more fun :)

[Gibreficul]

I don't know about unfocused, but focused limb disruption has a big ass CS penalty if you aren't 2x in spell aiming.
