I need help with my Es sorc

[xJLx Slayer]

Okay So I am a fire sorc who is a ES. So far My problem is the DMG output of the Fireball/firebolt. Its dmg is 7k without fire Gcs.

Okay so far I am using a gear that give me nice Fcr and another one that increase mana.
This is the gear for mana(which is the main one)
2x Soj
Shako
Nigma
Frost Burns
Trek 15/15
Arach
Hoto
Spirit
Fcr amy with +2

Stash
Vipermage
2/2/1 circlet with stre mods Fcr skill...etc
Wizspike
Whinston
2Fcr withs tre life res..etc
MAgefist
Marrowwalks

I have Anni and Torch (no fire gcs).
I dont know what else I should use to increase the Maximum dmg of my fireball. I have 8slot left for 8fire gcs. Which I dont know how much dmg it should increase it by. IS there some other gear, or alternative I should use to increase the dmg.

I maxed ES, TK, Fireball, FireBolt, and I am maxing Fire Mystery soon. I am lvl80btw. I still need to do a few skill quest.(not sure how many).

Should I go to try and put 1 skill to Metoer which would waste 5 skill trying to get there because i have to put 1 to fire wall...etc? Or should I stick to maxing Fire Mystery ??

mastery definitly and get ur fireball synergies also i havent made a fireball sorc before but i do have a cold and lightening. i would work on gettng gcs cause you really dont need to max ES just Telekenisis. just enough to get to 40ES if u want that90% but i do fine with 80% and all i did was add 1 point into ES

[xJLx Slayer]

OMG are you serious?

[Littlewoodenboy]

yep. im serious check out the thread eschutas vs cresent moon good info there

[xJLx Slayer]

But aren't you a lightining sorc. You get more skills to lighting because of charms and the fact that you ARE a lite sorc

[Littlewoodenboy]

yeah the gcs are a plus so thats why i only added 1 point. but in your case add enough skill points to get around a 20ish ES for the 80%. you need another 20 points to get the extra 10 percent. a waste in my opinion. so add es until you have 20ish points

[Littlewoodenboy]

ES route goes for all sorcs. max tele and points into ES but only enough for your needs. 80-90 that is up to you. and how confortable you r.

[xJLx Slayer]

So how many If I want80%, what should I max? Remember I get 18all skill ....etc

[Littlewoodenboy]

2-5 points into ES for you

[xJLx Slayer]

Do I not need 40 points into the ES?

[marcusr]

Do I not need 40 points into the ES?

No, plus you can't put 40 points into ES, only 20, the gear do the rest

[xJLx Slayer]

No, plus you can't put 40 points into ES, only 20, the gear do the rest

this is what i meant

Do I not need 40 points into the ES?

no.

you need 20 into Telekinesis (thats a MUST). then either skip ES altogether and get it from a Memory staff, or put a base-point in it and rely on prebuff gear.

just about all of the high-end super GFG es/fb sorcs i've ever seen have used huge amounts of ES prebuff.

i'd build like this:
20: firebolt, fireball, meteor, telekinesis
1point: teleport, chilling armour, (http://forums.diabloii.net/showthread.php?t=541218) warmth
spares to Fire Mastery.

for switch weapon, a CtA in a +3ES/+chilling armour staff would ROCK. or you can do the memory-stick stash dance thing.

looking at your gear: you do have 105%fcr, don't you?

[xJLx Slayer]

Kk thanks alot

[xJLx Slayer]

So what is the highest dmg I can do with this build? 10k? 15k? at lvl 93 that is

[mephiztophelez]

you should be able to crack 16k FB's with your setup.

it depends how many points you get into Fire Mastery.

Memory in a +3 ES staff will give you a total of +9 to ES, use it to prebuff your ES, in this case, just like has been mentioned, you don't need any points at all in ES. Getting it up to lvl 40 will give you a 95% absorb - that's sexy but extreme!

You don't need GCs to get it up futher, I wouldn't recommend you to get many points in ES, I think ideal would be if you got it only thorugh prebuff since you could save some prereqs...

GL'n'HF!
