Best Gear And Stats

Similar to distributing skill points, there are various ways to equip your Sorcerer. Typically, Sorcerers have the option of using a two-handed staff or a combination of a single-handed weapon and a magical object. Staves generally offer slower casting speed but higher damage output, whereas the wand and magical object combo allows for quicker casting speed but often results in lower total damage. Additionally, the wand and magical object combo provides the advantage of having twice the number of item effects, as both items possess their own effects, affixes, and Aspects. On occasion, sacrificing a bit of base damage can be worthwhile in order to obtain the extra stat benefits that accompany it.

Given that weapons and armor possess randomly generated stats, affixes, and Aspects, there exists no straightforward method to embark on a quest for a specific item tailored to the ultimate build. Instead, one must pay heed to the effects manifested upon the discovered items, as they hold utmost significance in the progression of your character. As a Battle Mage reliant on close-quarters combat for Basic Attacks, it becomes imperative to prioritize the ability to swiftly engage and disengage. The inclusion of Teleport in your repertoire undeniably aids in this endeavor, however, you must also equip yourself with the capacity to unleash maximum damage through your skills while simultaneously enduring adversities.

Priority Level	Prioritized Affixes
1 (highest)	Skill Rank Points, Intelligence, Dexterity
2	Maximum Energy, Willpower, Frost Skill Damage, Shock Skill Damage, Damage vs Distant
3	Basic Skill Damage, Core Skill Damage, Damage vs Chilled, Resistance To Elements
4	Life On Kill, Health Received, Critical Strike Damage, Cooldown Reduction
5 (lowest)	Movement Speed, Lucky Hit %, Damage vs Crowd Controlled

Recommended Gems

In order to fully optimize your build, it is crucial to select the perfect gems for your gear. A multitude of gem varieties are available, each possessing unique abilities. Moreover, the effects of a gem are entirely altered based on the type of gear it is socketed into.

Once again, there is no definitive path to follow, but a handful of precious stones that will prove most effective in various situations. When deciding which of these to embed into your equipment, give some thought to the inherent attributes of the gear. For instance, if your gear already boasts an abundance of resistance due to its stats, it might be wise to allocate one of the gem slots for enhancing damage instead. Embrace the spirit of exploration in order to discover the perfect fusion. Should you find yourself dissatisfied with your initial choice, fear not, as the Jeweler can assist you in unsocketing gems.

Gear Item	Ideal Gem
Weapons	Topaz, Diamond, Skull
Armor	Ruby, Skull
Jewelry	Diamond, Skull
