Hey y’all,
I’m looking to get into rtrs and etrs with a sorc, and as such, would love to farm out a nice gearset. While I’m pretty sure I’ve come to a good solution for level 10-18, I’m a bit lost for how to even start gearing for etrs. I’d love if someone could give me some pointers, and point out any glaring issues with my heroic set. The idea is to run upper heroics as a air spec, and then epics as a fire sorc. I’m pretty sure I have a spell list that lets me do this with only 1 spell swap, which is what I get.
Heroic set:
Weapon: Barovian Scepter
Offhand: ???, probably macabre till 14, when I swap in wild flame for dbf.
Armor: Barovian Noble's Regalia
Belt: Thrummingspark
Boots: Softsole
Bracers: Bracers of the wind (keep upgraded)
Cloak: Mysterious Cloak
Gloves: Blurfingered
Neck: GS ConcOpp SP (added later on)
Helm: sheltering/parrying/ins physical sheltering
Goggles: Dc/ins dc/ins spell pen (carry evocation and necro, wear evo mostly until wild flame, then swap)
Ring1: con/false life/ins con
Ring2: Cursebane Ring (till 12, @ 12 swap to spinneret)
Trinket: spell saves/cha/magnetism
Quiver: Quiver of Alacrity (use Anger's Step)
Slot vitality, deathblock in spinneret and level 11 bracers of wind. Slot resistance, fear immunity, blind immunity, feather fall.
I’m pretty happy with this set. The only thing it looses from optimal is 4 saves (2 ins spell save, 2 resistance), some healamp, and insightful wizardry. I’d probably wear this through 18, updating goggles to a higher level version slotted with school augment, and maybe trinket.
Level 20, however, is hard. I’m thinking flameclasned, but arcsteel seems to have nicer items, but trades off 2 cha. I’d like to make a sentient stick, but I’m debating kotb vs anniversary. I’m thinking a lgs ash offhand at 26, but other than that, really no idea.
In terms of spell selection, would this work to avoid having to use blood of dragons?
Fire Bolt (1) Jump (1) Shield(2) Acid Spray (3)
Scorch(4) Web(5) Blur(7) Electric Loop(9) (scroll Knock)
Fireball(6) Acid Blast(7) (swap to lightening bolt) Displacement (9) Haste(11)
Wall of Fire (8) DDoor (9) PK (11) Crushing Despari (13)
Ball Lightening(10) Break Enchantment(11) Cyclonic Blast(13) Primsatic Ray(15)
Chain Lightening(12) Greater Heroism (13) Circle of Death(15)
Danceball(14) DBF(15) Prismatic Spray(17)
Sunburst(16) Greater shout(17) MCM(19)
Thunderstroke(18) Meteor Swarm(19) MHM (20)
I’d appreciate any advice or tips!
