Questions on gear...

[CarpeNoctu]

I just got my TR Sorcerer to lvl 16 and I'm ready to start flagging for Shroud... Sort of. The problem is, for the most part, I'm a solo artist so my gear (with the exception of my GS SP necklace, pretty generic and nondescript random or crafted) may not be up to par. This is not my first caster, but it's the first time I've ever had one at this level, as I mostly play Monks, Rangers and Fighters. So, my question is two fold...

1. Even knowing the changes that are coming, I'm needing to know what I should be farming for my Fire Savant. I have things for higher levels (like Regalia of the Phoenix) but the only lvl 16 specific item I have right now is my dagger from the cove. Yeah, I know... Woefully unprepared for a TR. But, lesson learned... I'll plan for the next one a bit better.

2. Dust. Dust kind of freaks me out a bit, to be honest. I had no trouble flagging my Ranger, Fighter or Monk and avoiding the spiders in Dust, but I've never done this as a Sorcerer before, so I'm hoping for some strategy instruction/advice.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Vale is a good time to dump fire savant. Many of the mobs are fire resistant. I normally take 17 or 18 before hitting vale, but should be no problem if you are not running elite. Dust is cake on acid savant (or air if you know where to jump). Even on a fire savant just boost your acid and have acid rain and blast. The spiders are immune to acid. Cast acid rain in a group and it will kill the ogres and not even touch the spiders. Clean up with your SLAs. Cove dagger should do fine, but I like to use 3 minute clickies for the spells i am going to be using.

Very cool, I never knew the spiders were immune to acid... I've been boosting acid as a backup to my fire damage, so I won't be as strong as an Earth Savant, but I should be ok... I hope lol

Thanx
