Thank you everyone for your responses sorry if I wasn't able to respond, I've been busy with life stuff. But now back on track...

@Khamul: How do you get MASSIVE DMG 30-40k with ThunderStone??? I Have maxed it as much as I can (23) and have it at lvl 44 and i barely do 6k-8k dmg. I have 224% light dmg and +318 energy factor to spell dmg, 15% bonus to energy factor. Could you (or anyone) explin me how to do 30-40k dmg please?

@void: Yes, for some reason i go very slow in tran atuhula, most of the times i die. And i can get anything good from that. Am i ding something wrong?

@ChuckNoris: I use Cfield in boss battles mostly, duriel lasted maybe 3 seconds, and mephisto 7 seconds. Diablo lets say...5 seconds that's in players 3.

@Seekers; I respect your opinion but i beg to differ, Cfield is good in certain scenarios, not always so you need to know when to use it.

I also have 224% MF and i get 1 - 3 Sacred Uniques/Sets per run at palyers 2. My amazon gets double the amount (once i got like 10 sacred uniques/sets in one run from the waypoint River of flames to diablo!!!) I fell like i don't get enough sacred items, specially the thunder set which i so desperately need. Same with my amazon.

Please help me to improve my sorc.

Thank you so much everyone.

Well, if your minions aren't tanky enough for Tran Athulua, then you have to boost them a bit.
It's very important to invest some points into Fridgid Sphere to get life bonus on Ice Elementals and also to use Minion Resistance orbs on your gear. It really makes a lot of difference to have some Minion Resist.
As long as you keep minions at high numbers, Tran is much easier.

And honestly, for farming and many bosses I wouldn't use Chronofield (Since the new patch, I'd actually never use it), Witch Blood gives a lot more spell damage, even at just one point.
In general anyone who wants to have high spell damage uses Witch Blood.

Honestly i have no idea why people would use Yul staff . I mean it is easy to aquire but for me the TU war staff is golden until you find a good SU . The Laek , reanimates and FCR are all you need .

You should try to switch to witch blood and put points into it for now for extra LaeK every bit helps . With Staff of Roses and TU armor that gives bonus to lightning spells you pretty much reach the needed FCR cap . MO staff of Roses with LaeK and use either diamonds or rubies in it .

As for minions using your hard earned points for 15% life is a waste if you ask me . Just get a few tainted Shrines and roll a war staff until you get 70-80% minion life and +10-12 sorceress skills then bless it and stick into it rare jewels rerolled with 13-15% minion life . You should aim for 20k+ life ice elementals . At that point with tainted craft staff putting points into Ice Elementals skill will be more worth it than life synergy.

The body armor is very good but if you feel lucky you can also craft a tainted sorceress torso with +3 sorceress skills and Summon Acid Fiends . Same socket with minion life gems and make Aes Dana runeword and keep it in your inventory for summoning a few fiends with boosted aura . Just make sure you have enough FCR at that point . Fiends should give you 100% FRW which is awesome and 150-190% spelldamage which is not so bad .

@Xplosive: Thank you for the suggestion to switch to witch blood, ill try it to see the difference. Also I have never thought on crafting a staff with %minion life and jewels with minion life. Great idea.

@Void: I'll rework my skill location to invest more in Frigid Sphere to give the minion more health, this plus Xplosive's idea of crafting a sacred staff with minion health and swapping for summons should solve that problem.

But now, how can people achieve so much light dmg...30k-40k.. that's insane...

Do not forget to put minion resist, lot of health doesn't mean anything without some proper minion res.

The reason people get higher damage may also be due to the fact that they have completed minigames and have more charms.

Stack +all skills gear , such as amulet with +3 perferably with lucky roll to +4 if regular oil or +5 with blessed oil of luck (or use a
Lamen of the Archbishop
Lamen of the Archbishop
Amulet

Required Level: 110
Item Level: 120
Orb Effects Applied to this Item are Doubled
+4 to All Skills
with good light stats and luckied too wouldnt hurt either). Lucky roll all rings for a 10%spell damage chance or better yet , lottery them for a chance at +1 skills each. Stack -lightning resists on enemies til -199. Use full light sorc set. Hard points on familiars til extra skills points. Get charms with "Maximum skills increased by 1" and do all minigames if you havent already.

Yep pretty much that off the top of my head now.
