I'll give a basic rundown of what I think are some of the best things to have:

Skulders w/ptopaz
Shako w/ptopaz
Oculus/Isted Ali Baba
Rhime or Isted shield
Goldwrap
Chance Guards
War Travelers
High mf rings/occy rings (sojs if u want skills)
Any high mf ammy

Of course you could switch skulders, the ammy, and goldwrap for Tals armor, belt, and ammy.

As far as stats...they can vary a good bit depending on skills and user preference. I screwed up my stats, but for a nova/orb sorc, here are the skills and stats I would recommend (many will put less on energy than me):

Str - 97
Dex - 42
Vit - 186
En - 185 (I recommend at least 150 energy for nova, in which case all the rest can go to vit)

with skills...

Nova - 20
Light Mastery - 20
Orb - 20
Cold Mastery - 20
You decide the rest.


Again, my build is very different from what others might recommend.
