advice needed for Pvp FO/TS sorc

[Katharsis]

hi guys ive read a guide in the guide library and i was thinkning of trying out a
Sorc that would look something like this

20-Frozen orb
5-Cold mastery
20-Thunderstorm
20-lightning mastery


I didnt want to go with a pure 1 element build because of absorbers..now.. this setup leaves me with quite a few skills to allocate.. what do you guys think? energy shield looks good for pvp.. could i possibly split points between Energy shield and telekinesis or.. juts max one and put less in the other..

Comments and advice greatly appreciated

thank you

to use energy shield. max telekinesis and leave your +skills to take care of energy shield.

it looks to me like you would still have a few extra skill points. i would put those in teleport personally. they could also go in cm, or energy shield. cm would be better because in pvp, that 5% dmg is always nice. more points in energy shield won't save you from much dmg, and it will hurt your mana more.

thanks,

Ive heard some sorcs go pure orb.. is it worthwhile? Some say thunderstorm is now useless... any advice is greatly appreciated

TS use to have a bug where it would double hit. that was removed, so its dmg was nerfed. blizzard never really went back and made it worth it again. they need to up the dmg. so if you are looking for something effective, TS isn't it. but i don't want to discourage you from the build if you think its something different and might be worthwhile.

the only time i've seen TS adviced was for a pure lightning build where they said put one point in it (only took 2 skill points extra). with maxed mastery already and a bunch of plus to skills, it is worth it in that case.

as far as pure orb, if you go pure any element, cold has got an upper hand. maxed cold mastery makes it impossible to resist. although it takes a while to kill them with it. lightning and fireball are fast killers as long as the other person isn't stacked with 90% res and absorb. but, while they are fast killers, they are much harder to actually hit with.

haha im looking for advice for my orb sorc pvp.

I recommend u to max CM since FO will be main killing skill right??
my skills would look like this:

FO-20
CM-20
IB-20
Teleport-1
wramth-1
telekinesis-20
ES-1

More on ES will only kill u since it will kill ure mana and u wont be able to teleport.

(This also depends on stats and items)
