my first time making a real nearly-high-end fire sorc :), that is not too damage oriented.

my going-to-be stats...
str - enough for gear
dex - i'm not sure if i should add a little into it for block rate, after all it helps...
life - rest
mana - about, the maximum of 100 energy.

skillpoints(i intend to train her until like lvl90, total of about 101 skillpoints)...
- 1 warmth
- 20 firebolt
- 20 fireball
- 20 meteor
- 20 fire mastery
- 1 telekinesis
- 1 teleport
- 1 static field
- 1 frozen armour
- 1 enchant
about 15 skill points lefted at lvl90 i think, what should i put them into?

Equipment...

Shako(with 15 all resists and 15 life jewel)
30%+ FCR spirit monarch
35%+ HOTO
CoH
Arachnid's mesh belt
SOJ x2
Eth Treks
Magefists
29 Maras

On gear switch...
4 BO CTA
lidless shield.

Sorc torch
(can't get annihlus, none of my friends wants to sell me theirs :P)
and about a minimum of 4 fire skiller gcs.

so in all, i have...
110 FCR
+22 fire skills(including inventory stuff)
(after anya quests...)
- 219+ cold resistances
- 219+ light resistances
- 184+ fire resistances
- 259+ poison resistances


ok some questions...

- is 110 FCR too little? i have a lite sorc with simiilar FCR, and if i were spamming fireballs instead of charged bolts, i'm not sure if it would be sufficent. should i substitute it with a upped and um runed vipermagi for the extra 30% FCR?

- regarding block rate, i do realize that it takes a s***load of dex to get my spirit monarch to get even 50% block rate. should i add some to get like maybe, 20%? or none? or suggestions? and why too :P

- about to dual SOJs, i see that some people use BK rings for the +life mod. since i'm probably going to have 100 base energy, is it good to replace 1 SOJ for 1 BK for a mere 40ish life?

- should i get raven frost or cham rune my shako to not get frozen? Raven frost adds dex though, might help my block rate just a little.

- is +20< fire skills sufficent for me to do lots of damages? how much is the best fireball damage? and how much damage could a level 41 fireball damage do with maxed synergies and mastery?

- how bout the remaining points lefted at level 90, after all fire skills and synergies and 1 point wonders? where should i put them in?

- is this build, with the gear, skill point distributions and stat points overall going be uber godly in PvM, and maybe excel a little in PvP?

- how bout giving me 2 more equipment and stat point builds, a ultimate dream fire sorc and your current fire sorc(if you have one)?


thank you for viewing!!!!

Don't even try to get anywhere near max block with Spirit. You'll spend an insane amount of dexterity points.
I would go dual SoJs rather than SoJ/BK.
You don't need CBF on a caster.

It's nice to have CBF for PvM since it allows you a lot more freedom (with merc arrangements and such). Don't ever bother with PvP.

CBF? what's that abbreviation lol, i'm not sure :/

So i'm assuming that you guys nodd your head in approval(or great approval) in the questions i set about my sorc, for example like my 110 FCR?

thanks again :)

CBF is cannot be frozen. I have a fire sorc I use for dueling... they are ... alright. I have 200fcr for the last Fire ball break point which is really a nice treat to tele right on top of someone and spam away while they are privilious and cannot stop the ensuing death due to the hit animation lock... MUhahah. Though I think max block is great for sorcs specially fire sorcs for PvP fire sorcs considering they get really close to characters... most specificaly barbs. Though I wouldn't suggest obtaining max block with spirt... that's just crazy.
