Bear Enchantress Help

[Krayz_]

Ok I'm makin a bear PvM sorc but im having trouble deciding on the the gear/stats/skills

This is what I have so far:
Beast - to transform
400ed 100ias Griz caddy(4 4015ias jewels)
Stormshield - shield
Drac Gloves
Gore Riders
CoH - for resists/dmg/leech

I cant decide on rings, belt, helm or ammy (suggestions PLZ!)

For skills-

Max Enchant, Warmth, Fire Mastery
--Thinking of going the Tk ES route because mana is useless anyway
1 pt Shiver Armor


bunch of 32020s and an anni

for stats

str - enough for gear
dex - Max block
vit - base or split between nrg
nrg - base or split

Well thats wut i was thinking so far comments, suggestions, tips PLZ!!!!

go for max Telekinesis + ES.

Split or more to mana. Mana leech isn't nerfed to hell and back like Life leech is. One good example are WW barbs in PvP. They dont leech alot of life, dont do a MAJOR (as in 5K+ Rarely) amount of damage, but most tend to keep a full mana orb. Also, super mana pots are nice and you have the regen of maxed warmth.

Go with Fire Skilers and use 32020s as fillers. You will get more damage and better warmth too. Oh, and dont forget the major awesome increase to FM that helps ALOT on dmg too.

Ring:

Ravenfrost + Something with mana or dual leech w/ AR

Amulet

Mara's, don't need ias in bear form and +2 skill + Res = GOOD!

Belt:

Arachs for prebuff and use Verdungos if you dont go shako and Gloom's Trap if you go shako.

Helm:

I suggest Shako, life mana skills dr... yeah...

I'm doing the exact same thing almost, but using a 110% ias Phase from my old Fireclaws bear, but I may pick up a caddy instead now... hmmm..

OK Thnx

I think im gonna go with the fire skill gcs and split life and mana. Definetly gonna go with a raven, a cgrip, gloom(forgot about the ml), maras and shako.

I was thinking about the 110ias phaseblade too but I didn't think I'd get enough leech.

Thnx again

btw I play US EAST krayz_2, krayz_3 --Non-ladder if anyone wants a sorc duel etc.

I must say that with the skill/stat placement, take my ideas with a grain of salt...

I haven't gotten my sorc to full power yet and NRG shield could still turnout to be a flop.

I'm going to test 3-5 different weapons on mine:

110% Ias PB
Passion PB
Demon Machine Xbow
Griz Caddy (Maybe)
Beast Caddy

~Kbob

[Zroc]

Passion? For zeal?
I thought you couldn't use attack skills in Bear form?

[Soepgroente]

Think caddy needs 115 IAS for 5fpa attack, which is kinda recommended.

[TheKbob]

Soep, go back to the veggie tar... I dont like this one...

Yes you need 102% Ias in caddy for 5fps, but 115% is the closest//lowest you can get :rolleyes:

Soep, do you know if 5fps is the fastest a bear sorc can achieve?

~Kbob

[Soepgroente]

Nah that ain't true, shael ias ias ias gives 105%. And yes, a sorc with a phase blade (fastest weapon, save demon x-bows but they're crossbows so can't go fast i think) needs 121% ias for 4fpa in bereform. Such a shame, that 1%.

This 'tar is cool :drool: (you offend me if you say it's ugly since it's a modified picture of me. Nah you don't ;))

[TheKbob]

Hmm, as I thought. Then my PvP Bear Sorc will prob stick with her my newly acquired 4 sock griz caddy. More base damage and more damage is gewd damage.

I kinda thought it might have been a modified you, but whether its you or not, the way its done I do not like.

Im just off the 5frame attack by a sheal. O well im not gonna waste my 40 15s and unsocket the caddy. Ill prolly just use my caddy. How much difference does 1 frame make anyway?
