Stormeress (PvP)
Why this build?
I experienced by playing with my lightingsorc how great the Thunderstorm spell is. You only have to teleport and the spell aims itselfs and is doing good damage, what can my very handy with PvP. With my merc who has a Windforce i’m doing a lot of damage by only teleporting!
And remember this is my first build, so tips are welcome!
Skills
20 Thunderstorm
20 Lightning mastery
20 Telekenisis
20 Energy Shield
1 Teleport
1 Warmth (or more, its up to you, mana regeneration is very usefull in this build)
5 Prereqs (Charged Bolt, Lightning, ChainLighning, Static Field and Nova)
Yes I know, when you reached a certain level you can distribute extra points on the way you want. You can put them in one of the cold armours or something else, use your own creativity! Maybe it’s usefull you use some skills in the beginning for (chain) lightning for PvM.
Stats
- Strength Enough to wear your equipment, keep it as low as possible!
- Dexterity Nothing, because you teleport a lot, a high blockrate isn’t needed.
- Vitality Also nothing, we use a full Energy Shield which absorbs most of the damage.
- Energy Almost all points, you need a lot of mana!
Equipment
- Weapon:
Eschuta’s Temper (3 Skills socketed with lightning facet, it gives a boost to the lightningdamage). Other choise can be a Heart of the Oak with 40 to allresistance and 3 Skills.
- Weaponswitch:
Ofcourse the Call To Arms Runeword.
- Shield:
Lidless Wall (1 skill, 20fcr, increase mana 20% and can be socketed with a lighting facet), or the Spirit Runeword (2 Skills, Fcr, Extra mana, Resistance).
- Shieldswitch:
A shield with 1 or 2 skills. (Shields above or the cheapest choise Sigon’s Guard).
- Armour:
Enigma (2 Skills, Extra strength, Damage reducing), Chains Of Honor (2 Skills, Strenght, Damage reducing, Resistance), Ormus’ Robes (with 3 skills to Thunderstorm, extra lightning damage, 20Fcr, Regenerate mana, and can ce socketed with lightning facet) or just simple but effecte the Skin Of Vipermagi (1 skill, 30Fcr, Damage reducing, resistance and can be socketed with lighning facet). For this build where we using just 1 attack spell, the Ormus Robes with +3 to Thunderstorm do the trick i quess.
- Headgear:
Griffon’s Eye (1 skill, 25Fcr, extra lighting skill damage and reducing of enemies lightning resistance, and can be socketed with lighting facet!) or Harlequin Crest (2 skills, great mana/healt bonus and 10% damage reducing also socketed with lightning facet).
- Belt:
Arachnid Mesh.
- Gloves:
Frostburn / Magefists.
- Boots:
Silkweave (10% increasing mana).
- Amulet:
Any Amulet with needed +skills and fcr/mana/energy/damage reduction. Tal Rasha’s Adjudication (2 skills, extra mana/health) can be nice. Or Mara’s Kaleidoscope (2 Skills, 5atributes and nice resistance).
- Rings:
2 x Stone of Jordan, simple the best.
Mercanary
In this build the mercenary is very important, because it will do a lot of damage. Because in this build we teleports almost always, we use a bow merc, which can be gained at Act 1. A merc with a cold arrow is the best choise i quess because it freezes its target. Than use these items:
- Windforce Bow
- Tal Rasha’s Death Mask / Andariel’s Visage
- Fortitude Armor (The 300% enchanted damage of the Fortitude Armour is really great. This can lead to serious damage, up to 3500!).
Attacking
Use the Call To Arms, activate your Energy Shield and offcourse Thunderstorm (dont forget your mercenary) and just teleport! With your merc you can have a max damage easily with this build of 5000. Yes I know, just regelar Lightning has much more damage, but remember you don’t have to aim, just teleport nearby your enemy and he will be hit.
PS I hope this thread can be sticked.
