Read some guides and played a meteorb before, still is not enough to make a decent lite sorc but this is what i pretend to build, feel free to point where I made my errors, any imput will be apreciated.
SKILLS:
-20 lightning;
-20 chain lightning;
-20 lightning mastery;
-20 telekinesis;
-6 energy shield;
-1 point wonders/prereqs:warmth, static field, nova(not points to buff it up), teleport and thunder storm;
- rest in charged bolt.
For now this is what I pretend to use unless someone point me a error or a better option:
-griffon's -24/+19;
-maras;
-dusk coh;
-eschutas 3/25 lite(switch:9es 1chiling armor memory);
-spirit monarch;
-arach;
-raven frost;
-soj;
-frostburns;
-wartravs or etreks.
Stats would be minimum possible str and dex, need a advice in how to balance vita/energy and inventory with a torch, annihilus and 9lite gcs(no room to pick things since is for solo play or to play with ppl when drops isnt that important).In the skill planner I used this build will have a decent es while doing aceptable dmg(31k lightning and 11cl before eschutas/griffon's bonus), merc will be same as the one my trapsin uses, a2 holy freeze aura with a non eth voulge infinity, eth stone and eth delirium(not to do dmg, just the aura).
Tink is all, long time past I started a lite sorc but was not satisfied with the job to lvl it, now with a grush and ubber lvl is time to build one with your help, thanks for any reply.

1 pts in es should be enough.

Switch eschuta for Hoto. The juicy mod on it is better than the dmg added with echuta. Since you seem to be able to afford eth treks, eth monarch will save you 10 str.

Split your life and mana, by having atleast 1500 life after bo. I like to go a bit higher, about 1,8k-1,9k life after BO then the rest in mana.

I personally like to use 5 x light gc with life and the rest is small charm with life/mana.

Will this be a PVM or PVP char? or both?
I'd say more es if you're gonna be dueling.

Is for pvm, focus is to tele quickly and safe in places like chaos sanctuary and to run baal with decent killing power.With only 1 point es rest of points go to bump synergies charged bolt/nova correct?I have a 314def eth monarch spirit 35fcr siting in a mule, never used it and how long it will last before breaking?
Thanks for the help, show me how is easy to make mistakes only reading about something, experience can teach better :thumbsup: .

Personally I only have like 1-2 points in telekinesis. I'm not sure if my build is much better, but then again I don't have the 9 lit gcs you have.

I'm doing a paltry 23ishK dmg with lightning. I find that 20 max charged bolt is fantastic for boss killing. You don't get the pokey frame rate of lightning or chain lightning, plus you can shoot it at point blank range for extra refire. I do this with my ES lit sorc without any real danger.

Although, oddly enough, against mini-ubers, I find lightning bolt was more effective (not sure why... I guess the burst of dmg was just higher). It might be a different story if I had 9 lit gcs (I only have one).

So, my build difference is
- still maxing Nova as a final synergy
- has 1-2 points in telekinesis
- 1 point in ES
- 20 charged bolt.

I think given your superior items, 20 telekinesis might be a pretty good choice.

Why go ES if you are PvM? More killing power would be better IMO.

Interst for a es variant come since I want a sorc to lvl to a high lvl(minimum 97) and need it the be safe to play, xp loose if you die at higher levels scare me.
About less levels in telekinesis, would not that hurts bad my mana pool being hit?

As I stated in the "other" PvM light sorc thread, you're PvM and aren't supposed to get hit as a sorcy. You don't need es and in CS it's a hinderance more than an asset.
