A few questions about sorcs

[Yanook]

1. Does damage taken goes to mana ability on items refill my mana when I get hit or drain it?

2. Does fire mastery boost enchant skill?

3. Can you get instacast (You cast as fast as you click) on Blizzard

[Raistlin_Majere]

1. You take full damage but gain a bit mana as well. Normally not that usefull a mod...

2. Yes (if you are using a ranged weapon there is a display bug in the character screen though - you will do less damage than listed).

3. No

about the 2nd question - Fire Mastery is applied twice if used on yourself AFAIK. First when you "enchant"( cast enchant on yourself), and second time when you actually strike an enemy.

As Raistlin said, only in melee.

About the first point, nobody ever really uses it, there have been thoughts about an ES build using DTM to recover her mana instantly, but with no resistances, no magic damage reduction and no absorb, you'd need around 1425% damage taken goes to mana to support a 95% energy shield.

For the record, the maximum you can get from all items together is 300%, just enough to support a 80% energy shield, and you're not allowed to have any resistances, magic damage reduction or absorb in order for it to function.

(using 75% to all resistances with it drops the usefullness to 50% ES)

So, it's not viable, only usefull as an accidental mod for melee chars imo.
