Skills Distribution

Fire Skills

• Total Skills Points requires: 62

Fire Wall is a no brainer maximize for this build. At level 20 this skill combine with the addition of Fire Mastery will meltdown almost any boss that you know off

Fire Mastery gives flat damage increase to Fire Wall, so this should be your secondary priority to max out.

Warmth is a great skill for Mana Recovery, maxing out this will also save you a lot of mana potions.

Both Inferno and Blaze are prerequisite of Fire Wall, so you will need two points here. While Inferno give a 1% increase in damage to Fire Wall, the total increment is not that good, so points should be saved toward other skill tree.

Lightning Skills

• Total Skills Points requires: 41

Sorceress is never known for her’s survivability, but this skill tree is infamous for many Sorceress build with the combination of Energy Shield and Telekinesis
Energy Shield will absorb damage into your mana and give you a layer of defense. Telekinesis can be used as a leveling spell, but the main use is for boosting the effect of Energy Shield.

This orb is actually pretty hard to get, but once you got your hand on this weapon, your build will ascend to a new level. Tal Rasha’s Lidless Eye provides a flat increase to skill levels and also provides an indirect damage increase through Minus Fire Resistance and Lighting Resistance. As this build does not require a full set, you can combine this with the Belt (For faster cast rate) and the Chest Armor (For Magic Find and Resistance)

Did I mention the ridiculously high Magic Find bonus?

Charms

For Charms, it entirely depends on your preferences. If you prefer safety, any Charm that boosts your Vitality and Mana is good enough. Finally, a standard Torch for Sorceress is enough, you should look for a +3 Skill levels torch with some boost to resistance.

Name	Stats	Modifiers
Insight	Depends on base model Weapon	Level 12-17 MeditationAura When Equipped +35% Faster Cast Rate +200-260% Enhanced Damage +9 To Minimum Damage 180-250% Bonus to Attack Rating Adds 5-30 Fire Damage +75 Poison DamageOver 5 Seconds +1-6 To Critical Strike +5 To All Attributes +2 To ManaAfter Each Kill 23% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items

This is for your Mercenary. Insight is a safe pick (and easy to get early on) for almost any Mercenary. This gives a boost to both Magic Find, damage, and Mana regen – which is an important aspect of this Sorceress Build.
