orb sorc

[kmk-soldier]

I would like to try classic and made my first char today, it will be an orb sorc, and it should be able to rush my other chars through normal & nightmare.
but since I know nothing, but really nothing about classic, could someone help me out with some things?

I was wondering what I should use of equip
and how I should put my skills

thx in advance :smiley:

Riiiight ... Forge rusher I guess ?

Then you would need Max Tele, Orb and Cold Mastery.
If you only want one skill, max the synergy too.

Rather straightforward.

not really, some friends asked me if I would play with them at classic, that's the mean reason, but if I make a char, i want it to become decent, and able to rush my friends chars & also mine in the future :smiley:

thx for help :wink3:

dont forget about the 1 pt wonders, static field, frozen armor, and warmth
the synergy would be ice bolt and you would probably end up going pure vit sorc

[tdlofcc]

Well, I'd go with a full Orb Sorc. Fast rusher anyway.

Skills (done at Level 80)
20 Frozen Orb
20 Cold Mastery
20 Icebolt
20 Teleport
1 Static Field
3 Warmth
1 Frost Nova
1 Ice Blast
1 Glacial Spike
1 Blizzard
1 Telekinesis

You could swap the Icebolt synergy and teleport for a lightning skill.
My Rusher is at lvl 77 currently, and has 20 Orb, 17 Cold Mastery, 15 Teleport, 10 Static, 15 Nova and 13 Lit. Mastery ... And two skillpoints free, which I dont know where to put yet. Might invest more in Teleport since I can kill everything right now (in 2 or 3 player games anyway)

All skills are after the +2 Sorc ;)

this is mainly a dueler, but rushing is no problem

20 Ice Bolt
20 Orb
20 Cold Mastery
1 Static Field
1 Energy Shield
1 Teleport
1 Chilling Armor
and 1 point on all the skill pre-requirements

as for stats
80 STR- GSkin
51 DEX- Shard
rest on VIT
Base Energy if u want

tdlofcc - Good idea to use my build. :thumbsup:

sickobanza - Decent build for rushing, but it's going to get crushed PvP. :undecided:

If you put one point into Energy Shield and Chilling armor, you might aswell get them on a staff so they don't cost points. :)

that dueller will get crushed by most players on east ladder at least...

a twitch + pward would be a better option than a gskin for a sora.

It reminds me more of the build me and TDL where advocating as early as the end of 2005 when most other people where still high on blizzard. :)

Wouldn't a single point in ES and using it just eat your mana away? If you are planning on spending most of your stats in Vit, you won't have much mana. ES would collapse very fast, leaving you with no mana for your kill skill and open to attack.

Am I right about this? Wouldn't it be better to max ES synergy, and drop a few points into ES, 20 into Orb and Icebolt, rest into CM and prerequisits. Then Str and Dex for gear, Vit base and rest into mana.

I have yet to build a true ES/Tank, but my rusher has roughly 150 in energy, and roughly the same in vita if I recall correctly. with just a touch into str/dex twitch and some mild twinking to wear the rest of gear.

but I would assume from my experiences, that yes one would want a larger mana ball, not necessarily pure energy.
