Melee Beast Sorc

Hey all. I am on a single player shared stash. I recently made beast runeword to experiment with summon Druid and necro.

I had the idea to reapec my nova ES sorc to a tank / melee sorc for killing bosses and hunting unique monsters. Just a fun experiment I’m hoping to enjoy. She’s hardcore so tanky is a must.

I am planning to spec into ES, and maxing out an ice shield of some kind along with enchant. I’m going to be running a barbarian merc with dual wielding lawbringer phase blades.

Since it’s not for clearing big packs I’m looking at running CS or Baal. Open to any comments or suggestions.

I want an unkillable sorc that can stand in a pack of P7-8 pit lords and laugh it off, while chopping them down in bear form. Possibly experimenting with killing Ubers if I can!

Probably going to have spirit monarch offhand, until I find a stormshield. Upped vipermagi until I can make COA or something better.

Interested in your thoughts!

I have a wealth of experience on this topic, and a couple of characters to demonstrate with if you’d like to add me and join a game or 2 Ill tell you all about it. I have a build you wont read about anywhere, and you just dont see. I believe is superior to anything else I’ve found. But I’d rather not post it here because its so radically different it takes alot of explaining. Its really too controversial to try and put it here. It would start arguments that I don’t have time or the desire to attend to. My battle tag is prey4me454 #1258 I’ve been playing this since the original and do not follow others ideas except for ideas of how I want my builds to be differently better. My sorc’s name is Indestructable. I can go afk in hell cows and dont need potions. kill ubers in 1 to 3 hits with my fist, and do so wearing 600mf and 800gf. and I have 50 vitality… 400 life. There are scenerios where I can die and must be careful, but they are very rare, and whatever they are doesnt take more than 1 or 2 rejuves before they are dead. It is alot of fun.
