currently lvl 83 meteorb sorc

full tals
spirit

at the 86% fhr breakpoint and 105% fcr breakpoint

i have one point in frozen armor, and i have heard that shiver armor / chilling armor are much better choices. keep in mind this character is PURELY for PvE.

i have also heard that chilling armor actually prevents you from taking ANY damage from skeleton archers and other ranged attacks. it sounds awesome, but i want to know what you guys thought before i used the 2 point investment to get it.

thusfar i haven't mis-used a single stat or skill point so i'd rather not spend the 2 points to get chilling and not need it, but it seems like skeleton archers are pwning me in hell.

let me know, and thanks for your input!!

Not true at all. That would be too unbalanced and this isn't a paladin we are talking about. :wink3:

If you ask me you can go without a cold armor all together. For teleporting Frozen or Shiver have more use than chilling, in case you tele in the middle of a pack.

I prefer shiver armor over chilling armor anyday. Especially since this is a PvE character. End discussion. It will be more beneficial to your defense at a two point investment then chilling would also.

Shiver is commonly prefered, by me as well. Do you use switch gear ? If not, i recommend a staff with +x shiver armor, and keep those skill points for offense power.
If you already spent it, I guess 1 point won't ruin your build whatsoever...

most people dont pick up blue orbs but im sure a +3 cold skill +3 to cold/shiver/chilling could spawn(ok unlikely). combined with a spirit and your other +skills and you will boost defense by thousands.

i generaly find them to be too weak even for the 1 pt investment.
