Chekist is a Russian player, but -no idea why-, not able to join this forum. He asked me to put this build on the forum so other players could see and discuss it. So here's his words and build (as good translated as I could):
Hello HG! I decided to share my HC sorcerer build. At the moment it is a HC character of lvl 80, 1x demigod.
The build has a universal set of schools and is very effective in most legendary areas and in all Hell layers.
The main focus is on survival and maximum utility for the team.
In Hell Zones, this build has proven itself most valuable, and almost all legendary areas this build can solo.
As you can see, there is no focus in necromancy . This may surprise even experienced players, but don't forget:
this is a HC Character of lvl 80, and often - a solo character.
I really hope that this build will be on the Wiki, as it is unique and can be useful for both novice players and experienced ones.
