PVP FO/ES Build

[Jwalker]

Im planning on making my FO/TS/ES Sorc as follows.. please comment and give suggestions

20 FO
20 IB
20 ES
20 TK
1 TS
1 Light mastery
1 Shiver Armor
1 Warmth
Rest on cold mastery

Gear :

31-4 Fathom
20-5 NW
Fletch
Spirit Monarch or Lidless?
20Cold/15 Light Ormus or Up'd Vipermagi?
Frostburns
Arach
2x sojs
Silkweaves

Pts : Enough for gear
Dex : None, Planning to not get hit with 105 Fcr and good tele's
Vit : 80-100 Pts
Eng : Rest
10/20 Storch // 20-14 Anni // 9x Cold Gcs // 20 Lifers

Overall my sorc will have 105 Fcr to hit the break pt, 39 Fhr to hit the break pt, A good Orb dmg, a decent hit and run tactic with Ts, any suggestions ??


Should i wear Spirit or Lidless with Ormus or Up'd Vmagi?

what does light mastery do for you?

Hrm its a shame no one has replied to this thread, I'm contemplating something similar and would like feedback as to whether the character will be plausible in pvp (It will be in public matches)

Build
1 static
1 teleport
1 charged bolt
1 lightning
1 chain lightning
20 Energy shield

20pts Icebolt
1 iceblast
1 frost nova
1 pt glacial spike
1 pt blizzard
20 Frozen Orb
20 Cold Mastery

remaining points into telekinesis (should hit 20 with +skills easily enough)

Helm
Nightwing faceted

Armour
Coh Dusk against casters. 20%cold +3icebolt Ormus v non-elemental

Weapon
Deaths Fathom (faceted)

Shield
Spirit Monarch

Belt
Arachnid Mesh

Rings
Soj * 2

Amulet
Mara's (don't have a nice rare sorc one)

Boots
Sandstorm trek

Usual charms & such.


What I would like to know is what sort of damage I will be looking at, and whether it will be sufficient to actually kill anything! With those items and my 7 cold skill charms and torch that will be lvl 44 Cold mastery giving -235 cold res, then with the Nw/df/ormus its an additional 70% to cold skill, and a further -10 cold res from the facets.

What are peoples opinions? I would also like to know whether all the stat points are required to go into energy, or whether to throw the odd couple into vita.

Comments/critiscism welcome

IMO, I would ignore the Thunderstorm, because unless the opponent is naked, they will take close to zero damage.

[Freezing Rain]

Def ignore TS.. it's not worth the extra points.

Yea... 1 pt Thunderstorm with 1 Pt Light Mast won't even tickle your opponent...


ORB/TS builds used to be good, back when there were no synergies...
Ahhh those days...

Also, for PvP Cold Mastery must be maxed. Fill it first, prior to Ice Bolt.
And you must have 20 hard points into Telekinesis for it to synergize ES. + skills won't help.

[Jackson]

Eeek. Yeah.. I would max Telekinesis rather than ES. ES can always be prebuffed, but only hard points in Telekinesis will work well.

[Jwalker]

so should i max out cold mastery or es first? and should i put 1 pt on shiver armor?

[Jwalker]

and btw how much is a es memory staff cost? i would like to get one.. and if possible how do i make one?

+skills from gear wont increase the synergy that es gets from tk..

You make one by putting Lum+Io+Sol+Eth runes in that order on a 4-socket staff

[Jackson]

it's not very expensive, and drops often enough.
