I want to max all armors for sure - after maxing Orb, do I want to max Cold Mastery as the last max or Ice Bolt for synergy? Without any +skill bonuses and both @ lvl 20, it only gives another +100 dmg. Please advise.
if going for maxed out shields I wouldnt worry too much about mastery since it only goes on resis. Increase your damage with the synergy and add a few for mastery.
But the lower resist makes the damage alot more potent than 100 pts per hit right? Ice Bolt will make Orb ALOT more damaging with major +skill bonuses, which I cant count on until I do major mf-ing. Or arent there alot of high cold resist monsters? I wont be Dueling in HC of course....
the thing about cold mastery, is it doesn't negate cold immunity, so maxing icebolt first would be your best bet. after that and shields, and anything else, throw extra points into mastery for a small boost in damage.
personally, i've just gone with the basic guide in the sticky. near the bottom of the page, top link to it doesn't work. i'm a fan of max warmth, but lots of people don't agree. this is all non-hardcore, so i'm not sure how you'll fare. try it out, if it doesn't meet your expectations, try changing it to fit your needs.
i dont see how maxxing all shields will help you against a pker. you don't get a defence increase through synergies, and 60 points seems like too high of an investment. but maybe i'm missing something, so go with your idea.
the shields dont even stack so you'll even be taking up hotkey spaces.. or even opening the quicklaunce spell menu is encumbersome (sp?). I would suggest to just choose one shield to max and the others to at least 10~12..
