Sorceress (Classic)

Standard Sorc equipment without character (account), which we sell separately.
This gear guide is for Diablo 2 Classic. You can convert your character to Lord of Destruction (LoD) but there are better unique items and runewords available in the expansion.
We recommend bringing alt BO Barb with you whilst farming (using second D2) to get 125% more Life and Mana.

Sorc is very versatile class, with very little gear she can easily farm non-immune monsters on Hell and is very strong at PvP. She is also the only class capable of quickly rushing others through acts (Taxi). You can use any element (build) you want: light, fire, cold or a hybrid.
You may request different items, as long as they are priced similarly.
