Notes from author
This is a build made after patch 1.05. Hopefully, I've gotten this right, after all of the research that I've been through for this. This would be my Sorcerer build, with a top overall set, maxed out. It's meant for both PvE and PvP, though some things here may piss your opponents off. Oh well, it's all just a part of the game, right? :/ Anyway, the armor that I've chosen had topped the top overall full set, Solaire's Set, even when they were maxed out. Just simply upgrade everything to the maximum improvement level of the armor, as usual. The Tin Crystallization Catalyst has proven to be the most powerful, despite the spell count being cut in half. The Rapier has also been very good for critical hits, and has topped the Bandit's Knife in many discussions, in forum sites. I had both my spells and critical hits increased with these two rings. The Bellowing Dragon Crest Ring is basically for spell increase, with most spells. You'll want to pick the Hornet ring over the Leo ring, for your Rapier (as I said before, upgrade everything to the fullest, weapons and armor. Basically Normal+15, for resin and such, and still keep things quite powerful.) as easily recommended in other forum discussions. The Grass Crescent Shield and Green Blossoms should help you with your blocking, and whatever else. Havel's shield proves to have great resistance. It may be a big pain in the ass to max out your level, but I'm sure that you can pull it off easily, at least at NG+++. If you want a top overall physically powerful strength weapon, go with the Demon's Great Axe +15. If you want a top dexterity weapon, go with the +15 Great Scythe, it may be arguably better than the Enchanted Great Scythe. This build is mainly meant to spread things out as best as possible, and give players a powerful advantage. This pretty much took months to gather and pile up the info, but hopefully it was worth it. Best of luck to you all :)
