Killing Andariel with a Sorceress is actually VERY EASY... you just need the skill Blaze and some stamina and mana potions.

After clear the monstes in the room before Andariel, call her attention to that room where you will find a hole wich you have to go around it to pass.

Keep running around the role and casting Blaze. Andariel will try to get you by running around with you, while takes fire damage. After some time she dies without touching you ^^

My Best Acc (level 19 Sorceress)
got this:

Warmth 7

Lightning 2-4

1 Telekinetis

3 Ice Blast



AND SORCERESSES KILLING ANDARIEL SHOULD USE ICE BLAST TO FREEZE THEN USE LIGHTNING THEN RUN AND REPEAT :D I WAS ONLY LEVEL 16 KILLING HER LAWL!!
o_O

i need tal rasha stuff for free

Can some1 make a nice bowa sorc/enchant guide in here that would be nice.

CaPs Godly Lighting Sorc PVP Build

This is my first lighting sorc build. I created this to help other players get the godly 50 k damage lighting sorceress in PvP. This sorc does not cost a lot but you have to be wealthy to get the right gear. Follow my instructions and in no time you will be killing everyone in PvP from Missile, to Combat.


Statistics -

Strength -60-70. This sorceress will not need a great deal of strength since Anni give you +20. I would go for about 60-70 STR so you can use the Chains Of Honor (COH) in a later level.

Dexterity -BASE. Sorceresses do not need ANY DEX AT ALL! This will be a complete waste of points!

Vitality -EXTRA POINTS. Vitality is your health, the main part of this build. All extra stats go here. you will be look anywhere from 1.8 - 2.2 k when finished.

Energy -40-50. This will not need much because of mana boosts you get from items you will be using later, and if u put skill into warmth your mana will gradually recharge.


Skills -

Lighting - 20
Chain Lighting - 20
Lighting Mastery - 20
Charged Bolt - 20
Pre Reqs- 1
Warmth - 1
Teleport - 1
Nova/Thunderstorm - Leftover.
Static Field - 1 ( Only if doing uber)

The main skill of this build is Lighting. Lighting is the Major PVP Skill for a sorceress. It does more damage then any other skills in its tree and doesnt use up alot of your mana(which shouldn't be a problem).Charged Bolt, Chain Lighting, and Lighting mastery all give damage boosts to increase the amount of damage you inflict which should be somewhere around 50 k.

Warmth is the first skill to put anything into. It regenerates mana which is a big help.

Teleport makes you move quicker and helps you dominate Combat Characters (Smiters,WW,Kickers, etc....). It also helps you egt around.

You must put only and ONLY 1 into pre reqs to get to your better skills. Dont put any more then that or the skills will have gone to a complete waste.

Static Field is for ubers and only ubers. This skill is not good at all to you if you dont use it agaisnt ubers. This stops the ubers from regenerating health and completly wipes out the first half of there health bar. Only put one into this if u are using it agaisnt ubers.

Nova and Thunderstorm are personally my two favorite skills. With these you do an extra about 10 k to your opponent after your lighting attack which brings it up to about 60 k every attack. Have these on hot key along with lighting and teleport. At the beginning of your duel you will walk out and turn Thunderstorm on. It will them auto. do damage to opponent, you then hotkey to you're lighting and hit them with that. Next you teleport over and hotkey nova to zap them a couple times. This is an unstopable combonation! I advise you greatly to use this attack method.


Items

I will give you MY choice of item for the build of your character. These are strictly my choice only and you may use them as well. Other players may not like the choices but when used together they kill all.

P.S. i dont really want to give a way things o and atleast one toch ist good ty.

GODLY MF SORC BUILD MUST HAVE TO WORK!!!!!! in order to make this build work you absolutely must have Full Tal set:

An ideal amount of MF is around 200 to 300%. this build gives you 258% (you can get more through charms and socketing Ptopaz)


Here is the Goal:

Skills:

Charged Bolt:20 pts
Lightning: 20 pts
Chain Lightning: 20 pts
Lightning Mastery: 20 pts
Telekenisis: 1 pt
Teleport: 1 pt
Warmth: 1 pt

Stats:

Strength: total, you only need 84, so add however many points to equal that
Dexterity:none
Vitality:ALL EXTRA HERE
Energy:none[/size]

~you'll notice that, like all my builds, a substantial amount of mana will be provided for you when you are finished with this character due to the equipment that will be on her.


Equipment:

Helm: Horadric Crest >>
Armour: Guardianship >>>>
Amulet: Adjudication >>>>>>Full Tal Rasha's Set
Belt: Fine-Spun Cloth >>>>
Weapon: Lidless Eye >>
Rings: x2 SoJ's
Boots: War Traveler
Gloves: Chance Guards
Shield: Blackoak

Note: This Guide isnt including Gold Charms, Anni's, or torch. of course i myself use these extra items and it makes a substantial difference. but this sorc is still amazing without them and this guide is meant to be more of an attainable character than one that takes forever to create.




Step by Step:


Levels 1-5: Start by putting your 1 point in warmth. then for the rest, put your points into Charged bolt. for stats, you will be placing all your stat points into strength up through lvl 12. from lvl 13 on, all stat points will go into vitality. ALL VITALITY.



level 6: put your first and only skill point into telekenisis. then continue to put skill points into charged bolt until lvl 12. stats still go to strength.



Level 12: you now have enough strength, from here on out, its all vitality. nothing else (this is important to this build). you will also take a break from maxing out your charged bolt and begin to place skill points into lightning. lightning will remain your primary attack for this build.



Level 18: take this opportunity to place a skill point into teleport. then continue to place skill points into lightning.



Level 25: your first peice of Magic Find equipment. you can now equip your chance guard gloves.



Level 29: Equip your Stone of Jordan rings. these will be part of what gives you more mana Also gives you a boost in lightning Dmg.



Level 32: with your extra skill points (act1 Q1, act2 Q1, act4 Q1) your lightning should now be maxed. from this point you will begin to max out lightning mastery.



Level 42: Now is time for your second piece Magic Find equipment; put on your war travler boots!



Level 47: Now you get to wear your first piece of tal set; equip your Fine-spun cloth belt baby!



Level 52: Your lightning mastery should now be maxed. next you'll proceed to max out chain lightning as a secondary attack. remember that chain lightning isnt neccesarilly weaker than lightning because it bounces off enemies hitting them several times (6-7 at max i believe) before disipating. the reason why its not a primary attack is that enemies do not always run in packs. attacking a single monster with chain lightning wont do much dmg because it needs atleast 2 enemies to work properly.



Level 61: now you are able to equip your Blackoak shield. originally i had chosen spirit monarch shield but changed my opinion when i realized how much strength it required. this shield, in my opinion, is a great pick for a sorc of any kind.




Level 65-67: time to up your MF equipment gear at 65 you get the weapon you've been waiting to use, equip lidless eye. at 66 you can equip the horadric crest mask. and at 67 put on that beautiful, envied ammulet adjudication hehe



Level 71: Here is the moment you've been waiting for... even im excited right now. equip your last peice of tal set and start glowing like a cool sorc does. this will now give you another +3 to all skills as well as many other additions because you have full tal set.



Level 72: now you should have everything maxed out except for Charged Bolt. you may think that charged bolt isnt that important, but the bonuses it gives to lightning and chain lightning are neccasary to have charged bolt maxed. so place your skill points in charged bolt till i tell you otherwise




Level 83: Your skills for this sorc are now complete. use the remaining skill points you earn for static field (this is very handy for bosses as it may not kill them, it certainly weakens them greatly). but this portion is a recommendation, not a requirement. choose to spend your points how you wish.




Mercenary Note:: To be successful in any type of hell MF run you will need to get a mercenary. I suggest (as pointed out by shinchib) that you get a defensive merc from act 2 Nightmare, and get them at a low level because they'll develop more resistance that way. make sure he is equip with an andy's visage with a 15% increased attack speed.



note from the author~~> don't be to harsh on this guide. this build is all original from my own experiences in game. the piece of information concerning merc's was provided by shinchib, you da man

How do I Get an Account so I can post a guide up at very top of page?

Yes that is a very good build i used to build one just like it and i DO suggest it to all u ppl out there who need a MF sorc El3m3nt4l1ty419's method is one of the best and i have had much success over a period of 4 years with the same build

Also I forgot to add a mercernary...

Merc Must be atleast lvl 80 and have meditation if u have mana problems and must be defensive since a sorc stand back and cats, needing defensive auras

eth BOTD if u have one would also be great

for helm use a 300+ defense + 30 mf helm with 3 sockets full of P topaz's

armor: Griz isnt BAD but Stone is OK or if u have lots and lots and lots of money make a very exspensive runeword with 1500+ defense for a almost unbeatable mercenary


! ThanX !
El3m3nt4l1ty419

Ok theese builds are good but personally this is my build for a Fire/Cold MF Sorc:




Gear:

Rich:
Ist'd Skullders
Ist'd Shako
Arach
War Travs
Ist'd Occy
1x SOJ
1x Perf. Nagel
FCR Ammy
Um'd Lidless (Non Ladd.)OR Perf. Spirit(ladd.)
Gheeds STorch Annihilus 3-7% mf SC's


Poor
P Topaz War Hat
P topaz Vipermagi or skullders
Tal ammy or Rare +sorc skills
Occy or if ur very poor SPirit broad sword
Spirit Monarch
Nagels
goldwrap
chancies
any boots u can find maybe infernos
Gheeds or any sort of MF SM


Stats:
Strength:This is where most MF Sorces are messed up, you want enough for gear and enough for gear ONLY not a single point more then enough for Gear usually around 125 for skullders and such
Dexterity: DO NOT TOUCH energy shield will take care of this no blocking is needed
Vitality:Rest goes here
Energy: Depends on Gear if u have spirits which add around 100 mana then u need about 150 energy u want atleast 500 mana for energy shield and constant casting

Skills:
ice bolt 20*
Orb 20*
Ice mastery 1*
Fire wall 20*
Fire mastery 1*
tele 1*
warmth 1*
energy shield-enough so its not leeching*
All Prerequisetes1*

the build may look skeptical at first but if built right and with decent gear, Mephisto andariel and Eldritch/shenk are very quick and easy

until u can Fire wall, use Ice Bolt and until u can orb use Fire wall, Fire wall is used in this build for the nasty Cold Immunes in Meph Andy and if u want to run Pindle Fire Wall is a MUST*** if u have any suggestions in the build feel free to email me
