Ceremonial. Melee Sorc is DEX-based and Sorc armor only requires DEX to use. Plus, you can get Banish or Acid Fiends oskills on Sorc body armor.

Thanks! I'm gonna farm for a rare sacred Ceremonial armor to craft then.
I've tried to craft some items and found that they are quite powerful and useful for me.

Entire Lightning Sorc guide in the guide section. Older outdated guide but it exists. Check out before you post in wrong topic. Short questions thread would probably be a better spot for something like this.


Thanks mate, i looked in the section but probably i looked too fast and skipped it casually. Anyway, thanks, you're right about that.

It depends on how far along you are. The STR req on anything higher than Leather Gloves can be a burden until you've farmed for sigs, but the mods on those gloves meet the basic requirements. Gloves are your least important item slot, so if you don't have to sacrifice DEX to wear them, I'd say Bless them, Luck Oil them, and call it good.

Edit:
Originally wrote Chain Gloves instead of Leather Gloves. It was around 5:30 am; I was tired. :)

Having massive amounts of CB isn't necessary for a Melee Sorc anymore (though having 20%+ CB does still help with Uber bosses if you're not using Stormblast). Your focus now is on anything that can add flat Physical damage.

There's not much you can do with
Dryhten Ealdor
itself to increase damage (aside from Ith/Jah/Sha'ad Runes, Auhe Runes, or P-Rainbow Stones). EWD orbs will still boost your damage, but it may not be by much since your skills already grant high %Physical damage. 2x
Vizjun's Ball Bearing
Vizjun's Ball Bearing
Mystic Orb

+25 to Dexterity

could be decent for the DEX and DS. 2x

5% Attack Speed
+3 to Minimum Damage

could also work for the min dmg and %DEX. A few

UMOs on some good Crafted gloves can also be a good option. Might as well abuse them while you can before they get nerfed. :)

It seemed like you were trying out a bunch of different gear options throughout your journey. What did you ultimately settle on? I'm always curious what gear/skill combos other people had success with.
