I would not describe my sorc build as "uber" but merely powerful (she's designed
more to be unkillable than to wreck the kind of elemental fury that some sorcs
can), and I have yet to see very many characters (aside from other sorcs) in any
game that I've been in that I would consider more effective than my sorc (this
is in A5 Hell).

As I see it, sorcs have the advantage of not being _too_ equipment reliant. As
such, they're better right now when few melee classes have all that great
equipment.

The other day I saw a barbarian that absolutely ruled, but he had the skill and
the equipment. He had most of immortal king's set, except the armor and the belt
(I don't know what he was using for the belt, but he was using naj's light plate
for armor). He used a lot of ww, and a lot of berserk. When we partied together,
I pulled my weight, but I would say he did the majority of the killing. It was
enough to make me consider scraping my frenzy barb and instead go with berserk
(berserk rolls right past the -50% phsyical damage penalty on Hell... it really
is very powerful now). He also had an awe inspiring battle orders (although he
completely ignored the other warcries, perhaps for simplicities sake).
