Hey guys, how's it going? I decided to start playing D2 LoD on account of the new patch and ladder reset. I have no idea where to begin, seeing as when I last played SoJs were the dominant currency. Could someone inform me of what I should know starting out for the first time.
Also I'd like to play a sorc as my first character, any updated builds around? Thanks alot
Thanks, I appreciate the reply. To be a little more specific could I get a PvM / MF sorc build? I don't know what's best fire, frost, or lightning, but I'm down to try whatever. Thanks
I like the Frozen orb Sorc myself. I also put a few points into Chain lightning, just in case. A few points into Cold Masteries also. And a couple in Warmth.

As far as SoJ's, I think only time will tell. Blizzard supposedly fixed a duping method in 1.13, and then later did a fix on another method that *I believe* could create dupes called roll back (which also was the cause of the server crashes).

It's really a matter of personal preference; early on cold builds tend to be more viable due to the native pierce available.
I've personally went with an Orb/ES build that is sufficient to run hell Mephisto on quite mediocre gear; Smoke, Spirit, Moser's (2xPDiamond), Frostburn, String, Iratha's Helm providing (max resistances in Hell)
A character-editor for single player is an invaluable tool for designing your builds prior to the real thing.
your main trading currency are now runes so dont throw any away. even the low level ones can be put in cube to make better ones.
as far as making a sorc goes, i would recommend a pure blizzard sorc for beginning as they seem to work best for mf ing hell meph etc. Also get a act 2 nm defensive merc and lvl him up. (look up guides on google for making a blizzard sorc).
later on when u get rich (and make an infinity runeword for your merc), respect stats on your sorc (this is now possible in 1.13 from akara quest), and make a pure lighning sorc (chain lightning, lightning).
Best way to get rich fast thogh, rush yourself if you can to hell and keep doing the hellforge quest as you can always get high level runes that trade well.
hope this helps.
ps. sojs are now worth a lot more then they used to in 1.09 so dont throw them away as you used to in1.09
SoJ's are no longer the currency, and are actually worth something now. Treat them like any other good unique.
High runes are the currency, you'll use them to buy things, and you'll receive them for selling things.
You might want to have a look at D2JSP (.com), its the biggest diablo2 trading community around and is considered the standard for trading these days.
The recent patch fixed more than 1 duping method, and increased the drop rate of high runes. Respec is possible, so dont worry about what you pick to start with, you can always change later.
If your keen on a sorc, blizz sorc seems the way to go. Cheap to build and good for mfing, they will provide the basis of your wealth.
Hope some of this has helped.

For your skill placement. As far as the SoJ's, I haven't heard anything.
