Best SSF builds?
As the title states, I could use some advice on which build(s) to play, I always play single player since none of the servers seem that great for me ping-wise, so I'm limited to using items that I find or craft myself. Preferrably something I can play from early to lategame, or a character that has a good early build, and can respec into a good SSF build later in the game. Thanks for any opinions!

Cold Wolf is pretty SSF viable, actually. You won't likely be able to hit 3 Frame Attack in SSF, but you can hit 4 Frame and that's still really good. You can get really far with an Honorific Weapon and shrine crafts in most gear slots, and it's very good at bossing/charms.
Fire sorc, i had 1 death throughout normal and nightmare only because i underestimated mephisto.
Flame strike is insanely strong for boss killing and flamefront is great for trash, you will never have any issues with damage only with survival.
Plus you have the best potions in the game as a sorc. Symbol of Esu
I have not crafted any honorifics or runewords btw, which would have made it easier, make sure you use the 1 rune rws in normal.
Always use orb/shield as a sorc for survival, plus they give you the best stats over staffs later on.
here is builds for all caster sorcs. I do not recommend using cold or light until 120, i tried it and i don't like the main skills.

Actually they removed moon potions, that was the final nail in the coffin for me, i'll stick with the older versions of Median

Did you start that from scratch as neutraldin? Usually it's something you need to switch to later on after using a levelling build.

Pretty much any character that has a legit skill tree can be played SSF, as there are skills and items made for it that are easily obtainable. Stay away from anything niche or item dependent and you'll be good.
