Hi all!

Sorry for my bad English, it´s not my native language so please be patient... Might be a lot of spelling errors and bad grammar.

So, I´m about to start my last diablo character, since my first character was a sorceress I want my last one to be one as well. I was thinking of something like this:

Cold Skills
FO 20
IB 20
CM 15

And one in all remaining cold skills.

Fire skills
Warmth 10

Lightning skills
Telekinesis 20
Teleport 10
And one in the remaining lightning skills.

This gives a total of 110 skill points, since i play hardcore ladder I´m pretty sure I wont be lvl 99 but I feel I want to plan for it.

For stats i´ll put a few in strenght, dex for max block and the rest in vitality.

I think i´ll use a act 2 defience merc, good idea?

What do you think? Please let the critique be constructive.

Thanks in advance!

If you want a strong sorc, just go 100% on one element.

Try for
20 IB
20 FO
20 CM
20 WARMTH (Yes, 20)

Enough str for Gear
Enough dex for gear
ALL POINTS GO HERE. NO QUESTION.
Base Energy.

And voila! You now have almost 1200 life depending on your gear (my cold sorc has 1144) with barely anything but occy + Shako.

Energy Shield > *

And it's only gotten better now with the synergy. I totally suggest "wasting" skill points in energy shield.

As for a merc, I'd go with either a Barb or Might merc. Whichever one dealt the most damage, and stayed alive.

10 in teleport is really iffy. Since you're PvM, you should have PLENTY of mana. I'd rather see 5 of those points go into cold mastry.

And lastly, you could also consider using a second attack. Relying on your merc to clean up the cold immunes just takes too long IMO. A few points in firewall or possibly nova would seriously speed the process up.

umm ok i guess i missed that... but... if you want a good energy shield... wouldnt you max energy shield instead of its synergy??? instead of maxing telekinesis and only putting one into energy shield... maybe im wrong?

energy shield increases the dmg absorbtion by lvl telekinesis decreases the mana points taken by each health point it absorbs

if you want to go the energy shield route you should max ur energy instead of vit. but you shuoldn't completely ignore vit it just that sorcs get a low vit to life ratio (i think its about 1.5 life per vit point) and she gets more mana per energy point.

backup skill is a must... i suggest stickin one point into hydra and fire mastery

I don't see the point of ES. When a sorc gets hit, with a high %, that takes a huge chunk of her mana. If she teleports wrong into a crowd, gets hit maybe 2-3 times, she has no mana and can't teleport out. Now what the hell is so good about this shitty spell?

The reason you people don't like energy shield is because you haven't accounted for it in your builds. Getting mana is a hell of a lot easier than obtaining life points, AND it regenerates at an insane speed. There is no argument, E-Shield prolong's your sorc's life by a factor of at least 4. The only thing you need to then consider is keeping your mana at a high enough value, which is easily done without adding a single point in energy. Not to mention that a sorc gets more mana than life per level up. You people just need to learn how to add mana to your builds.

OT: wow hello there c9

^ hmm.. i dun think ES is that much useful anymore... all you can do to dodge attack is tele, and shield block %. =/
Altho mana is regenerated by huge factor, Teleing with FCR wouldnt hurt.

Having a lvl 1 ES would b good, since it wont draing most of ur mana, now having a high lvl ES could draing a lot of mana, which would b bad.

In HC energy shield is almost a must and if you choose to have energy shield then max telekenis IS a must because with out it like yall said it would take out huge chunks of your mana...but with max telekensis it really doesnt even take off much at all.
