MF efficiency vs sorc

[:1]Hi guys

Some advice would be appreciated. Im a relatively experienced ladder player. I recently restarted about 2 weeks ago and now have traded for enough wealth for around 2 HRs on ladder.

I should have the materials to essentially trade for enigma or infinty.

I have a pure MF light sorc at the present which struggles around areas like WSK with the high resists, but can go through arcane with 500MF with full resists and come out without a sweat. I also have a fishy necro which can breeze through WSK. I like a bit of variation in my MF (ie doing the same runs again and again is not an option).

I know with infi, light sorcs can do serious damage and break most immunes. However, with eni, a necro could have some nice speed as well with CE. My question is, which is the all round most effient for MF, taking into account:

1. killing speed

2. amount of MF can be fitted safely

3. fun to use

4. teleport ability (im guessing sorc wins hands down on this)

5. adaptability and versatility

thanks for your help

guface|||With infi or eni, I would say:

1. Light for most areas. WSK with gloams can be tricky. The necro is superior for cow running imo

2. Necro

3. Up to you

4. Sorc will have a better rate, but when you're area clearing this isn't really an issue

5. With more modest equipment probably the necro. Once it's really well equipped I'd say your sorc.|||In my opinion -

1. killing speed

Light Sorc can kill faster and I think the light Sorc is superior for cows because the cow king is always light immune (been a patch since I last run cows on hell difficulty so maybe things have changed).

2. amount of MF can be fitted safely

Necro can have more without compromising defence or killing power.

3. fun to use



I prefer Necro, but like hubb says its really up to you.

4. teleport ability (im guessing sorc wins hands down on this)

Sorc is faster at tele, and should clear most areas faster too.

5. adaptability and versatility

I think Necro wins here, he can take out every monster and can even solo the ubers. Sorc can do most but often with more difficulty (hard areas/tough mobs highlight a light sorc weaker defence) and can't do the Ubers.

Overall I'd say, Sorc wins for speed - both faster teleporting and faster killing. Necro is a much safer build and is more versatile (Necro kills everything, Sorc kills nearly everything). As for Mf, although the Necro can probably get more % without weakening the build, killing speed is probably more important so Light Sorc might well get more nice items even with lower mf.|||thanks for both your inputs. I decided that speed isnt the only thing that matters, and the necro is extremely good fun. Therefore decided to make my necro the main MF char. Just traded for a ber and have got a jah. Also have a 261 def MP ready

Now for moving those mf charms....|||I think you made the right choice for you. You said variation was important to you and with a summoner you could, if you wanted, run every high TC area in the game (pits, tunnels, WSK, celler levels in act v, i think i might be forgetting some) as well as keys, the countess, and even act bosses all in one game. Even with infinity there are unbreakable light immunes on some of those runs (I think). Running it this way, in my experience, really helps break up the monotony of it all because every 2 mins or so I was doing a completely different area.|||neccys are area clearers, sorks are rinse-and-repeat boss thumpers.

i rekon area clears are a more viable method of generating e-wealth.|||Javazons are the fastest area cleaners if thats your thang|||People need to start making less light sorc nowaday.|||People should make what they like

Different aspects of the game call for different chars (or even no char at all).|||Quote:

Sorry for not being clear with my post but I meant to say something like you just said. I just meant that realms are filled with hdins and light sorc's.
