Here's a concise Sorceress Leveling Guide for Diablo 2 Resurrected:

Sorceress Leveling Guide

Sorceress Leveling Guide

 

Stat points placing 

 

Stat points are very simple early, 25 Strength, all other stat points into Vitality you can absolutely choose to put some points into energy early on in this build, this will enable you to wear a 12 slot belt ( shop at charsi/fara ) then once you're into act2 you can shop a 3 socket shield

kite shield/large shield put another 10 points into strength, for the shields

 

Act 1 Leveling

 

The beginnings are simple, run into blood moor, clear the den grab the extra skill point from the den, travel into cold plains (Grab way point, go to town and get stamina potions) slaying larger packs along the way, onto stoney field

find the Cairn stones, stoney field waypoint and the underground passage, reach the dark wood find the waypoint and grab the scroll from the tree of infuss, you can choose to ignore the big

boss pack here.  go to town and open the portal to tristram back at the Cairn stones, now you will be able to do "Tristram Runs" you will be able to find these easily

or your own game, to repeatidly clear Tristram until you're level 12-14 and then Head for Andarial!

 

 

4 pts into Charged Bolt then saving your next two skill points and then placing

1 pt into static field, all the following points into frost nova (1 Point into frozen armor is viable too) until you're level 12 this is when you can choose to use your reset stat and skill points.

to become whichever sorc you have had in mind, Fireball is an option at level 12, Nova at level 12, Cold sorcs you would want to hold off on resetting and continue with Nova

until you're level 18, Once you're level 18 Simply head to Akara, reset your skill points , heading straight glacial spike & Blizzard on the Cold Skill Tree, 1 point into Static

, telekenisis and Teleport, putting all the other points left over into ice blast and continue leveling glacial spike until level 22, saving 1 point for frost nova, 1 point into

Blizzard at level 24, as Ice blast syngerizes with Blizzard this is Fantastic.

 

We're leaving out Warmth for now and just relying solely on Mana Potions, you will be drinking these constantly whilst in combat and to maintain a fast flowing game pace, 

Warmth will not be sufficient until higher levels and more + skills are gained.

 

 

"Why Static Field" This will cut a bosses health down by 25% of their current health immediately, This will be your biggest tool vs all bosses at all points in the game,

As you gain + skills from equipment you find the range to become more favourable for you (if you feel you're doing enough damage, you can definitely Deviate from skill plans

and add some more points into static field for extra range just so you are not nose to nose with the monsters 3-5)

 

"Why frost nova" it consumes alot of mana however it will kill large groups of enemies very quickly allowing you to farm tristram runs very quickly

 

Once you're level 12 and have chosen your element path, you will quickly realize that frost nova has now become a thing of the past and Nova and Fireball are that much better.

 

Now you're onto Act2, defeated Andarial, you've got your build path, Maxing out your chosen Skill, Fireball,nova, Heading to Glacial Spike/Blizzard (Regardless of Element type

Always put 1 point into static field & Frost Nova)

You will be able to teleport and destroy all enemies in your path very quickly.

 

You will most likely finish act2 at around level 20 (Advice for Duriel, Using Frost Nova & you can use an Mercenary to tank a few hit's whilst you Static him) , you can choose to do "Tomb runs" which are the most effective way of getting to level 24 or  you can choose to venture

onto act3,act4 Experience in act 3 and act4 is low heading to act5 is where you will see much bigger experience gains.

 

Once you've gotten to act5, Your objective will be to complete "Ancient's Pledge" for the vital Resists going into Nightmare then play through the game until the act5 quest, where  you should be able to deal with these early game behemoths, you can load up the arreat summit 

with Mana and Health potions if it you fear it will not go smoothly,

 

Now you will be able to do  "baal runs, or in normal it is more common to do "baal walks" where you can join a game with others around your levels, this will comfortably get you from

level 25 up through to level 40+, leveling your desired Skill Along the way as well as 1-3 points in the mastery 

 

Nightmare act1-5

 

You have a solid foundation, you've got your Resists from your Ancients Pledge, Hopefully you have a Lore Helmet for some Lightning Resist, magic or Rare rings and amulet

Armors such as The Skin of the Vipermagi have become useable from level 29 with huge Faster cast Rate bonuses and All Resistances, Hsaru's Boots for Fire Resist, Stone of Jordan

for +1 Skills, 

 

Act1-Act5 is a playing through the game at your pace, trying to survive whilst using the foundation you've given yourself, you will find leveling up a little slow in act1

however you will find Boss packs still very fruitful all the way through to act5.

 

Our Advice is to keep an eye on your resistances all the way, trying you best to keep them as High as possible, even if it isn't the prettiest equipment, allowing your self to be

maxed on Resistances will give you the most survivability and keep you flying through sanctuary.

Skill points, you're aiming to max out your Main Skill and all syngerizes for it.

 

Your biggest foe's will be the boss packs, archers, bosses and eventually once you get back to act5, The Ancients, where you will have to pay attention to their Immunities, you can "reset"

The ancients by casting teleport at any point.

 

Once you've Cleared the Ancients, you can join Baal runs, or create them yourself with your nifty teleport skill, you will be doing this all the way up until level 70+

 

Hell can be a Challenge for you and this is truely where you learn to pick your own battles and choose to come back to that, when you've found the items to deal with Immunities

E.G Cold Rupture, Flame Rift & The Crack of heaven and the runeword Infinity.

 

You will still be able to advance through the game even if you find Immunities, you simply teleport past them or Party up with somebody that can help you slay them, such as

Corpsefire in the Den of Evil in hell is always immune to Cold sorceress effectively in Diablo 2 Resurrected. Happy gaming!
