Hi,
my Sorcerer is clvl 32 now and still proceeding.
At the very beginning of this char, I used the Staff of CB and firebolts to lvl up fast. As far as I remember, I spend most of the lvl up points to magic (I rued this later on). To tell the truth: I didn't planned something special. Maybe thats why I handled to stupid.
After some trouble in dlvl 4 (nearly died ^^), I started a new game and continued in dlvl 1. That was the point I found out that a shield is the best melee weapon for a low lvl sorc. On the one hand it adds protection with Ac and block, on the other hand it lets you swing as fast as a warrior with a sword. So I leveled up to maybe clvl 10. I played the dungeons extremely often to get some pots.
Late on a friendly warrior (was it Hureg) gave me a Sword with some TH adder so I was able to do catas on my own using melee mostly. There I found a Shield with 30 AC and a realy nice plate so I had about 110 AC all in all (pretty much for such a low dlvl!). I leveled easily using Firewall in dlvl 13+. I didnt had to swing my weapon or something, just let the firewall do the work and stand still while 3 monsters attacked me ^^
20-30 was easy in NM mode, thou the time from 27 to 30 seemed to be endless. (30 to 32 in Hell mode dung ofc ^^)
All in all the sorcerer is a bad char for (S)LoL as the spells cost too much to used the all the time. But using melee mostly (with high AC only!) and Spells from all founed staffs its easy to get pots in the dungeons and go down to caves or hell to level there and get items.
