Sorceress build guides
- The detailed guide I'm currently following. Maxing Frozen Orb then Meteor.
- Some problems with Cold / Fire immune in Hell Act I already...
- Another guide suggested by players on PoD Discord, better than MeteOrb
- Several builds, hints and tips. Worth reading.
- Some tips about sorceress stats distribution. Worth reading.
- More detailed guide on an hybrid sorceress. Not tried yet.
- Video showing several builds, but no explanation on how to build them...

Mercenary guides
- Merc gets the most XP if they kill the monster themselves. To keep in mind if merc is lagging behind.
- Equip: Life Steal, to keep him alive in fight (for melee merc only).
- Equip: Increased Attack Speed. Allow merc to leech even more.
- Equip: Crushing blow, a good boss killer.
- Equip: Slow target item, nearly as good as damage reduction items.
- Equip: Mana leech *useless*.
- Merc MF stacks with player MF, but only if merc does the kill. Important when dealing with boss.
- Use Full Rejuvenation (rather than Healing), heals faster. Use cube recipes to make such potions.
- Thaw / Anti potion time stacks up. Feed your merc before a killing session.

| Rune wizard | Handy to know which runeword can be built. |

Also for trading. |

| Discord | Online chat. Keep open while playing to get general info and tips... |
| Wiki | Lot of information, including all rule changes. In particular Cube Recipes, Mercenaries, Uniques, Runewords, Sets... |

| Name | Formula | Item | PoD mod? | Comment |

|
? | No | Suggested in this guide. Seems a better alternative than Stealth proposed in the same guide. |

|
Armor | Yes | Offer +1 Teleport/Warp (2sec cooldown), and +2 Skills. But no resistance. |
| Ancient Pledge | RalOrtTal
|
Armor | No | Suggested in early ladder PoD guide, as early ladder gear, for the early resists. |
| Spirit | TalThulOrtAmn
|
Shield | No | Suggested in early ladder PoD guide. For the 35% FCR and 55% FHR. Also gives +2 all skills and lot of resistance. |
| Lore | OrtSol
|
Helm | No | Suggested in early ladder PoD guide, for the +1 skills, Mana Per Kill and Lightning Resist. |
| Treachery | ShaelThulLem
|
Armor | No | Suggested in early ladder PoD guide, for the Merc, for massive IAS and Fade Proc (Probability Casting). Better done on an Ethereal Elite armor. |

- 3 small rejuvenation = 1 full rejuvenation.
- 3 gems of same type = 1 better gem of same type

Recipes to use someday:
- 3 gems of same type = 1 better gem of same type
- 3 perfect skulls + 1 Rare item + Stone of jordan = add 1 socket to rare item.
- 1 Perfect Skull + 1 Rare Item + Stone of Jordan = 1 High Quality New Rare Item of the same type.
- 3 Perfect Gems (of any type) + 1 Magic Item = 1 New Random Magic Item of the Same Type
- This produces an item with same ilvl. Very interesting to produce +2 skill amulets [1].
Tips
- Don't use heavy armors, they have speed and stamina penalties. See for instance Crow Caw Armor vs Twitch.
