CMAN training

[Orthin]

Okay so maybe I'll end up going .5 CMAN and pimp out spells a little and see how that goes. I appreciate all the insights!

My sorcerer has used two handed weapons since about level 10. 15 armor ranks for LBP. I don't have any cman ranks. I grasp of grave, then swing. A Sunfist Master, with a katana. I will post his skills after work tomorrow for you to compare and consider, he is 58 now

I really enjoy this "mutant" build of a Sorcerer. I do not claim this build to be perfect by any sense, but it works great for me, and I've really enjoyed hunting with him. With my 20 ranks in armor use, I almost never have hindrance issues from when I do cast

A mutant THW swiging sorc is certainly possible (again, I took a sorc to about 2x cap doing exactly that), but it is also nowhere near optimal.

With regards to your skills, you should drop MnS down to 20, using those ranks to increase your MnE, resulting in better AS, DS, and CS from 425/430. Keep MnE as close to level as possible, and same thing with Sorc Base.

The other issue is that you are about at the level where cman attacks against you will become a regularity, so you will want to start training in CMs, to be able to train in CDEF and DISARM for defensive purposes.

What's with the EL: Air, and the SpL:Summoning, as you have no Spell Aim, and those ranks seem to be most useful for unlocking various spell aiming related things (Web Bolt at 20 ranks of Summoning Lore, you are not there yet, and Tonis Bolt at some ranks of air lore, usable if you had imbedded Tonis Bolt wands)? I suspect those training points could be put to better use elsewhere.
