How is playing a melee dream sorc?

Looking for some ideas on a unique / non-traditional build for my next playthrough, and am for some reason fixated on trying to make a melee sorceress build work.

I’ve seen some guides around for a “dream” sorc build, basically the idea being 2x Dream helm/shield, runeword Passion for the Zeal ability, and max points into lightning mastery and Enchant for elemental damage. Plus a Merc with Infinity for Conviction.

I am aware it’s not optimal nor efficient but I’m mainly just looking for a build that is different from the normal sorc variants, while still not being total ass.

For those who have tried this build, how was it? Is it a total pain in the ass to make and not as fun as I’m thinking it could be? Or is it worth the investment into 2x Dream + Infinity just to have a fun/unique way to play sorc?
