PvP BLizz Sorc Help

[andrewexd]

Im making a pvp blizz sorc this is my gear

Helm: NW
Armor: Ormus
Weapon: rare orb i found that does 4 to blizz
Shield: stormshield for blocking
Belt: SNowclash
Rings: sojs
Ammy: 3 to cold skill ammy
boots: Waterwalks/travs
Gloves: Frostburns
Inventory 9 cold gcs soon to get a storch

I have some questions though
Does Fcr effect blizz at all? I was think it doesnt beacuse its on like a timer sort of like metoer. Im not sure and also I plan to max these skills

MAX:Blizz
MAX:Glacial Spike
MAX: Ice Bolt
MAX: Ice blast
Rest into : Im not sure

1 into cold mastery
1 into tele
1 into prequisites

If im making a pvp sorc would it be a good idea to put points into telekinisis for the energy shield bonus? Also would a pvp blizz using ES Put points into energy instead of life?

if ur confused

Would this work for a pvp blizz sorc?

MAX:Blizzard
MAX:Glacial Spike
MAX: Ice Bolt
MAX: Ice blast
Rest into telekinsis

Str: enough for items
Dex: Max BLock
Vit: base
energy: rest

Instead of

MAX:Blizz
MAX:Glacial Spike
MAX: Ice Bolt
MAX: Ice blast
Rest into Cold mastery

Str: enough for items
Dex: Max BLock
Vit: rest
Energy: Base-75 or something (i dunno)

The thing i changed was base vit to base energy and rest of points into telekinesis changed to cold mastery.


Im not sure if this would work out could you give me some advice ideas comments. Thanks.

u dont need max block and u do need cold mastery.
use fathom over ur rare orb..
use spirit over ss
use treks over the other boot options

 

[Induhvidual_1]

i'd also use arachnid's mesh instead of snowclash
and go with vit over energy

 

[t.A.T.u97]

Agreed with both, Arachnids, Common dupe boots (Bitter Spur @ Europe, Storm Tracks *not trek*, boots with resists and str and dex) Death Fathom And I'd use a definate lower strength require sheild than SS or spirit, its way too much strength.

Also, a fast cast helm>Nightwings, I got lucky with a +3 Cold skills, 10/-10 facets in it, 20 fcr. The damage of Nightwing with FCR. You need some defense against characters, damage isnt everything.

to use spirit you need around 156 right? 18 from boot, 20 from torch, 20 from anni, 5 from maras, 15-20 from 2x fcr rings. that is around 120 from base..that means u need only 36 strength and the rest can go into vita.

Maras and FC rings are not needed at all. A +Str 20% fcr amu however can be used. Maras is not the right amu for a bliz sorc, and sojs are needed on a Bliz sorc due to they are not energy based, so they would need these rings to give them the skill and mana. I didn't get my legendary status at europe for having a shitty bliz sorc.

Why do people insist on thinking that sorcs can pvp? They are too easy to wipe out!

The only real pvp builds these days are ones that use unabsorbable damage. Such as magic or poison (or perhaps physical).

 

[andrewexd]

thanks for the replies but i have some questions
No one answerd my fcr question.
But my friend answered me partly From what he said
Blizz fcr only makes the actual casting part faster which means i still have to wait 4 seconds to cast again. So other than to tele around why do i need fcr? Also from what info i know about fcr+blizz why use arachs?
Also fathom is way out of my budget right now.. I can afford it but id have to sell off my fort or something and i dont plan on doing it. Of course i know what my sorc should be wearing over what i can afford to wear.
I will ignore big fat homo's comment. So from what i read this is how i plan to put my stats in

Str: enough for gear
Dex: Max Block (i will do it no matter what..unless i decide not to use ss)
Vit: rest
energy: Base



From what i understand you cannot cast blizz until your other 1 stops or somethingl. I also understand the actuall casting part (where sorc throws her hands wildly) is only effected which should not be much of a problem( but ill have to decide later on)

I can afford some more things now beacuse my friend gave me some frees.
And 005 those str items are rare, expensive, almost impossible to get a 20 torch. I dont plan on getting anni either scince no one i knows has one.

t.A.T.u97 What shield do u recomend?
I dont know many more caster shields..
lidless, splendor, most spirits are put in a monarch and so are facted shields. I guess that justs the look ppl like..

do you honestly think this? 1.5k Orb Sorces, or 200 Fcr Fb'ers would own anything except like bvc and wind druids.

@andrewexd

what realm do you play on?..and a 20/10 sorc torch costs..5 sojs? if your non ladder

Yes, ignore BFH's comments. Most of the people here have not ran into a good or even decent PVP sorc. After all, they do play East Realm.

Anyway, FCR is needed, preferably 106+ so you won't need to waste your stats on dex and you will be totally unstopable. Add a kick ass Rogue merc to that and I guarantee you won't have any problems, specially against ama's.

The sheild I recommend is the Ko Ko Mal, I think it was Sanctuary? Anyway, its low Str req. and 70 resist (if perfect) along with FHR. Its the sheild I've always used, and I go without max block. I generally cannot be touched at all, so block is useless for me. However, if you have a slower connection or cannot tele good, go for the max block. I still strongly think that 156 strength is way too much for any sorc, specially bliz.

 

[Laharl]

Name a char class, I'll name their gear to rip apart a sorc of any sort.

40% absorbs + 95% resists = almost no damage taken, fewls. Then, with other gear you can add +# absorbs and (more often than not) reduce the damage taken to 0.

You have not faced any europe sorcs, seeing how you play a US server. I guarantee people who play East would not last a second in europes games. Trust me, you wouldn't last, specially against someone my level.

 

[Laharl]

Let's see, 2.5k damage blizzards?

95% resist hits first, it's reduced to 125.

40% absorbs hit. 2.5 are left.

Numbered absorbs hits. -4 or so damage left.

Still feel cocky? You shouldn't. I've beaten worst than you, kid.

are you serious? 2.5k blizz? that's the weakest shit i've ever seen..my blizz sorce did 9.8k.

You can hire 5 rouges my zon is still going to win..cold sorcs are a joke my zon

@bh 2.5k blizzard? thats insanely low..and did your 95 resist take into account cold mastery and facets?

and thats a load of crap what you said about east realm...how would you know there arent any good sorcs if you dont even play it?

 

[Laharl]

So you deal x4 damage? You would deal roughly 6 damage per shot and not even freezing me. I'm shaking in fear.

 

[andrewexd]

005 Im on non ladder East soft core
5 soj for a torch?? I usually can get 1 for 1 soj from a friend although ive never asked a friend to trade thier s torch.

 

[Induhvidual_1]

wow, you have it all wrong.
first of all, cold sorcs tend to use cold mastery. at lvl 20 cold mastery=-115 cold res

now, apparently you dont seem to get how absorption works.

let's take for example 005's sorc which did 9.8k damage.
now, you have a ton of absorb but the problem is, absorb damage reduction only works AFTER the damage is dealed (which is dealed based on how much resistance you have). so quite possiby, your character will die before your absorb can kick in (unless you're one of those barbs that have a ton of life)

and that's probably the reason why i saw most characters die with one hit from a sorc's blizzard during my d2 career in 1.10.

Note: i am not taking into consideration the fact that it's pretty damned easy to dodge blizzard attacks

So in conclusion, you probably should shake in fear (only if you really suck at dodging blizzard that is)

PS: i am also not expecting you to be filling ur inventory w/ cold res scs and whatnot

 

[Johnny]

If you have to slap on two raven frosts and have an invent full of cold resist charms just to face a cold sorc, there is something wrong with your character.

I came from East and moved to europe and what I witnessed was crappy players all around. East is filled with American children who cannot play. Its as simple as that.

No, any amazon would die from one arrow from my act one merc. I've gone against far more superior players than most likely any of you, and not one ama has proved my theory wrong. Its so funny how people say sorcs suck, yet they are using an amazon, a character only good in .09

Really, when you have a legendary status on your realm, then maybe u can talk to me.

Edit: 9.8k isnt near the damage Im dealing...
