A Curious Wizard

[Oran_Lathor]

Greetings fellow arcane caster people,

As you can see in my sig, my casters tend to be wizards, but I'm thinking about rolling up a sorceror. I've been hearing some rather wide spread numbers from people on sorc SP totals, so I'm curious as to what your totals look like.

So, if you don't mind, how many SPs does your 14 sorc have? Please include relevant equipment and casting stat info :)

Thanks in advance,
Ach

More than yours that's for sure :D

[Verlok_the_Red]

With 32 cha level 14 and 0 enhancments you should have 1308 sp base.. so you can add all the toys to that number.. ie level 4 or 5 enhancments, feats and wiz items.. if you go all out on sp, and get a wiz 6 item you should crack 1900 fairly easy.. The problem is as a general rule, your not gona want to spend all the enhancment points and feats on extra sp.. Sorc's dont get all the extra feats of a wizard, so many will choose spell focus and damage feats over spell point ones... With minimal enhancments, 0 feats and a wiz 6 item, I have 1638.. Thats probally considerd low, but my DPS is insaine.

[Varis]

1881 with a wizV item, 34cha with all the feats and enhancements that add mana or cha =)

[Blind_Skwerl]

34 charisma
no sp feats
all sp enhancements
crystalized widow's eye (pop X)

My sp is just shy of 1700... 1681 if I recall correctly.

[Vaere]

33 Cha (still trying for 3 tome, which would make it 34)
Currently resting at 1958 (56 or 58, gota check next time i logon)

All SP feats etc...
Wizardry VII helm (yes it does exist)

[Eldun]

Almost same as above:

Cha is 32 (34 w/+3 Tome)
IMT
Wiz VII
All Enhancements

1958 total SP's.

I'd imagine it can be bumped a bit more upon hitting Cha 34 but not much else.

[Citymorg]

When I had IMT and wore a Magi Robe with all 3 enhancements and a 32 Cha, my Sorc had 1808. I switched to the Elfcrafted robe and dumped IMT for spell pen II. Now I run with 1713, and almost never run out.

[Strakeln]

14 drow sorc
34 cha
all enhancements
Wizardry V helm
Mental Toughness
= 1806 SP

[Aspenor]

Aspenor has approximately 34,000 sp

[Varis]

Aspenor has approximately 34,000 sp

you keep confusing that number with the size of your e-peen =)

[Geonis]

14 halfling sorc (yeah, I know drow are uber, but this is my original character)
30 cha
MT
IMT
Wiz III
All enhancements for SP

It's not the size that counts its how you use it!

Thank you sir. :-)

[Aspenor]

Hand over the Wiz VII hat and nobody gets hurt.

[Mad_Bombardier]

Ah, but if she ate a +3 tome and drank a +3 alchemical bonus...

/had to be said"Why you little!" :mad:
:p :D

I don't really consider Alchemical Bonus to casting stat. Reason being, it increases your max SP, but not your SP. So, unless you have a Cleric with DVs or Ring of Spell Storing to top yourself off, then you won't actually have any extra SP. If you use a shrine, you lose your buff. But, if you did top off, you could have 2027 SP!!!

[Mad_Bombardier]

I think he means "give me your wizardry 7 hat, dammit". :p


Hand over the Wiz VII hat and nobody gets hurt.WizVII hat, meh. Archmagi +200 SP (+400 for pure Sorcs) is coming in Mod5. :D Maybe all the Sorcs will get that item, and I can finally get a WizVI or VII hat on the AH/trades.

No, seriously. All these top SP items *SHOULD* be on your Sorc. Double item benefit is just too good to pass up.

[Aspenor]

I have no use for more spell points. I want to use it for a coaster.

[Jakylpops]

I have no use for more spell points. I want to use it for a coaster.

Seriously, I know what you mean. Those stacks of greater and major mnemonic potions I haul around are starting to get out of hand, it's just been so long since I've had any reason to use one.

[Mad_Bombardier]

Thought of this earlier today Mad....

High Elf, 32 Charisma, MT, IMT, Wiz 7, Full line of Sorc AND HIGH ELF sp enhancements.

Will that be more than his number????

[Oran_Lathor]

The high elven SP enhancement line, "Elven Arcanum," is only available to wizards, not sorcerors. If they were available to sorc's the high elf would have more, yes, but I suppose that is rather moot.

Gotcha, thanks. Ya learn something new every day. That's a rather curious thing then...why roll a high elf sorc at all?

Sorcerers gain 95sp going from lvl 13 to 14.
They also gain an additional 12 Bonus sp if they have 34 cha.
Sorcs gain 350sp from a Wiz7 hat.
Total: 457

Bards at lvl 1 gain 50 sp
They also get 120 Bonus sp if they have 34 cha.
Bard1/sorc13 gains 337.5 (rounded down I bet) from a wiz 7 hat due to the class split.
Total: 507


Therefore a bard1/sorc 13 should be able to eek out an extra 50sp, but at the loss of lvl 7 spells. Unless I missed something else :D

[Blind_Skwerl]

That sounds about right. My friend has a 1 bard/13 sorc and I know he has me waxed in the sp department.

[Mad_Bombardier]

Therefore a bard1/sorc 13 should be able to eek out an extra 50sp, but at the loss of lvl 7 spells. Unless I missed something else :DD'oh! I crunched the numbers and everything... honest! :o I just crunched em too much, I s'pose. :p (mmm, crunchy numbers... /Homer drool.)

Yes, a 13Sorc/1Bard can have 2031 SP, +50 SP over a 14Sorc.
Thanks for the correction Lithic (and sorry to steal your thunder, Rilen).

[Strakeln]

No, seriously. All these top SP items *SHOULD* be on your Sorc. Double item benefit is just too good to pass up.Oh, believe me, if I could find one, it'd be there. Best I have is a wizardry 5 hat.

It's funny how loot is in this game - everyone has their "thing" that they get more than others... for some, it's named items, for others, it's big 5, for me, it's paralyzing heavy crossbows (that can't even be given away, much less sold).

High Umd, and can cover both runes!Is that a made up build or is it one you have? For example, I thought only elf wizards had access to the arcanum enhancement, so with only one level of wizard, you can only take the first level of that enhancement... 15SP, not 60.

Based on this mistake, I have to assume this is a hypothetical build, and I suspect there might be other mistakes hidden.

I think it is different because it is a racial ability. The pre-req is be a wizard, and a total level, regardless of how many are actually wizard levels as long as you have at least 1. Can anyone verify?

Kind of interesting though is, do the elemental damage mods stack for wizard and sorc, or do they only apply for wizard spells and sorc spells respectively?

Grants elven wizards an additional 15 spell points, bringing the total increase to 30. This enhancement requires at least two levels of wizard.
That was for elven arcanum 2. The level requirements increase from there.

[Xyfiel]

I never had the enhancement so didn't know that. The website builder I was using mentions nothing about it and I am at sea currently so couldn't check in game. Went back to work to try to beat 2031, and here is what I come up with:

Drow Wiz1/Bard1/Sorc12

Drow/Human Bard1/sorc13 still wins out by 14-30 sps. I will keep trying to find a way though.

Is that realistic enough for you?
Don't be so quick to judge someone when the info they had was incorrect.
All you have to do is remove 45sps from the original post.

[Rilen]

D'oh! I crunched the numbers and everything... honest! :o I just crunched em too much, I s'pose. :p (mmm, crunchy numbers... /Homer drool.)

Yes, a 13Sorc/1Bard can have 2031 SP, +50 SP over a 14Sorc.
Thanks for the correction Lithic (and sorry to steal your thunder, Rilen).

Hah. Tis possible this is true. :-)
