I'm thinking of making a pure fireball sorc for pk'ing purposes only..before i ask detailed questions...how is this sorc do in pk pub rooms? in new 1.10 ladder...I never dueled in 1.10 so i dont know if sorc are viable in pk rooms anymore...
well this is the item/skills that i'm planning on using..please criticize/correct me

SS with fire 5/5 facet
Shako with fire 5/5 fire facet
5/5 fire facetted eldrich orb (40 fcr)
Magefist (20 fcr)
Sandstorm trek
archind mesh (20 fcr)
Soj + 10 fcr ring
5/5 fire faceted Ormus (20 fcr)

20 fireball
20 firebolt
20 meteor
20 fire mastery
pre req. + teleport , rest into TK.

this will yield me 110 fcr which is 5% over 8 frame cast rate.
Charms: 10 fire skill charms with mana/life sc + anni.

ill have ****ty life/resist, but with good charms and max block with soem vit..i think i can pull this off...

1. would i be better of just making a orb sorc with tk combo? there really isnt a guide up there for pvp fire sorc..so im just going by my instinct..please criticize me, all you great sorc pvp'ers!

2. Am I better off using full vit build with ldiless since I'll be teleporting fast?

3. Am I better off to UM my equipments for better resistance?

thanks in advance.

i tried this on sc..i can get up to 20k fireball dmg with 1000 life / 800 mana (low since my gears are all damage enhancing)

hows this sorc?

from your items, i dont think the max damage will only be 20k. It should be 21k or more. anyway, it doesnt really matter. Also, u didnt mention your ammy. i believe it will be a mara.

you shouldnt put the rest of the skill points in tk. place it in inferno or hydra instead.

for me, i dont believe in achieving max block for fire sor. i prefer to use lidless with fire facet. this way, your damage will increase by 1k more.

As to whether to go for pure damage or slightly into defensive, it's up to personal preference. i prefer to go into defensive as my network arent that great. i cant do free flow teleporting without lagging.

Yup. Any attack that naturally can one-hit kill most duelers (or 2 hit kill) gets lumped in the WAAAAAY too unbalanced category by many/most public duelers and is absorbed often.

I think I am in that most public duelers category. Not only will I make his f ball weak I'll make it heal me. I don't go around *****ing when my FoH gets absorbed I smite there *** to death.

in pubby duels, most ppl will not be able to absorb anyways.
i believe max block and a good ES will help you survive more.
no point in having high dmg if you die easily.

maybe kill before you die.
