Melee Sorceress Guide!
Yes, due to popular demand it's here. This is a ROUGH draft, more information will be included at a later date.
This build is a fun build to play, merely due to it being extremely underestimated. Be ready to type out "Shh and sit I am Melee and I will own you." when you enter Melee games, as they will immediately jump to the conclusion that you are a caster.
Stat Placement:
Strength: 110, merely for your items, as physical damage is of NO importance.
Dexterity: 150, enough for Robo Phase Blade, and with items max Block.
Vitality: All other points.
Energy: None, as if any good PvP'er puts any here regardless.
Skill Placement:
20 Enchant, your damage comes from here.
20 Warmth, synergy to Enchant. Also quite helpful in PvP.
20 Fire Mastery, increases your Enchant damage.
20 Shiver Armor, increases your Defense by a large amount, and damages Melee attackers.
The rest into Cold Mastery, this increases the damage done to Melee attackers by Shiver Armor. This can be a LARGE amount of damage, especially since most Melee Paladins/Barbarians are lacking Resistances.
Casting Gear:
20/x/x Enchant Ormus' Robes, obviously Perfect Fire Facet'ed.
3/25/x/x Eschuta's, obviously Perfect Fire Facet'ed.
SoJx2.
Volcanic Amulet, +3 Fire Skills.
Magefists.
Arachnid Mesh.
Lidless Wall.
Beast, to transform into Bear form after Bo'ing and Enchanting, leave the same gear on that was used for Enchant/Bo for an extra Defense/Life bonus.
Shako, Shael'ed.
x/6/x CTA as well, of course.
Dueling Gear:
Socketed Phase Blade
ShaelShaelShaelShaelShaelEth
Stone Archon/Balrog/Great Hauberk, 2k+ Defense.
Angelic Ringx2.
Angelic Amulet.
StormShield, Shael'ed.
Immortal King Gloves.
Immortal King Boots, these 2 together give a nice boost to AR, Defense, as well as Strength and Dexterity.
Verdungo's Hearty Cord, preferrably 40/15, though any will do of course.
Shako, Shael'ed.
Charms:
4x12%FHR Fire Skillers.
6x30+Life Fire Skillers.
Annihilus.
9x20 Life Small Charms.

First guy - "ss would be replaced by phoenix, angelic be repaced by bk and raven frost, ammy replaced by mara," No, maybe get mara and 2x soj to enchant, but angelic ring gives huge ar [2x] = gg and you need ammy to do so, and they give 10 dex which also helps, so you're an idiot and you should go kill yourself. Kthxbai.

Melee Sorcs are commonly mismade. Here's a sturdy build which still needs adjusting.
Dream Dream for lightning dmg
Enigma for str and skills
Beast for bearform Only!!!
1 Shael 5x +15%ias+15res jewels (you need 95% ias on pb for sorcs)
Arachs (slows and +skill)
Angelics (you want to hit people)
Light GCs 2x with FHR 3x with life or str
Bloodfists (fhr very valuable 142% is possible with build which is highest fhr frame rate for sorc)
eTreks (20% fhr + 30% + 24% + 15% (3x scs w/ fhr) + 25% (dream average) +25% (other dream averaged) all somehow must equal 142+ fhr mine was 144))
Skillz:::
Lightning Mastery 20
Enchant 20
Telekinesis 15-20 (me: 20)
one in fire mast
one in warmth
1-20 into shiver armor (me:15)
1-20 in Energy Shield (me: 5)
I chose to use an energy shield staff Warpspear with +6 es, you have to build ur ES, i switch all gears, slapping on maras, andys, sojs, es ormus, and buffing it to great ES with only a few skills invested. This is a must. +9 es memory staves are GOD.
The build is here and urs to augment.
5x light gcs,
10x light dmg scs (1-22 1-26 1-32, just a few of these add 1-2k dmg)
life/fhr/res scs: res is good, but u need 3x 5%fhr/mod or more for 142% fhr or higher.
You might need some str in ur base str stats, but a good anni/torch/skiller gc/str line-up will ensure ur ok with no str.
You should use enough dex to have (with frozen armor on) maximum blocking of 75%
This could take a lot of dex!
All into Vita that u can
No energy, if u feel daring, get some bmana charmz
I've seen this build do 52k E Z.
U use beast to turn bear after buffing es and enchant, etc, then after ur buffed, and bearform, u switch to the phase blade with those godly 15%ias 15%resall charms and one shael, (or 5 shael one eth if ur poor) and ur bear sorc will slap people as fast as zeal and do at least 36k+++52k+++
Yours to ridicule.

wow. the person who posted below me is obviously the most retarded person to walk the earth. who the f**k uses bk, rf, and maras on a f**king melee? angelics set for massive ar bonus retard. and +5 str large charm? what a f**king waste of space. you're seriously retarded. torch and maybe es over chilling armour are the the only things wrong with this guide, you'd use stormshield for better block % and high DR %. Coa is to much str to get for a sorc. you wouldn't want to use a fort on a sorc because you need more defense then damage, damage is coming from enchant. and a pimped out phaseblade owns over grief in a decent amount of cases. sit booboo sit.
good guide, it's a decent gear setup for anyone with a mild budget.

who ever made this guide is surely a dumbf**k. 110 in str? have u heard of anni, torch or +5 str lc before? lmfao, cold mastery? i rather put left over points in energy shield. stone and shealed pb? have u ever heard of grief and fort before? newb! ss would be replaced by phoenix, angelic be repaced by bk and raven frost, ammy replaced by mara, shako replaced by coa, glove replaced by dracs or crafted ias/ll gloves. the only thing u got right is the verdungo and cta. i rate this guide "absolutely SHIT!!!"
