Double Dream Discussion
Alright, this thread is meant for the discussion of a couple topics in regards to the double dream enchantress build of the sorceress. First of all, I am currently building one of my own, and am using the following guide as a reference:

I'm looking to begin a skill discussion. In the guide two builds are proposed, which are as follows. But first, there are a few skills that both builds max.
Both Builds Allocate...
20 Points into Frozen Armor
20 Points into Lightning Mastery
20 Points into Enchant
01 Point into Static Field
Build 1 Allocates...
20 points into Thunderstorm
20 points into Telekenesis
And all following points into Energy Shield
Build 2 Allocates...
20 points into Fire Mastery
20 points into Warmth
And all following points into Thunderstorm
Now, I propose a third build that is structured differently. Its skills would look like this:
20 points into Lightning Mastery
20 points into Warmth
20 points into Energy Shield
20 points into Enchant
20 points into Telekenesis
My proposal is, what I see as, a balance of the two builds. Build 1 is designed defensively, and build 2 is intended to be more offensive. While the author of the guide, z3phrn, suggests build 2, it would seem to me that the synergy that exists between Enchant and Warmth and Energy Shield and Warmth should be taken advantage of. By capitalizing upon these synergies, the build works more like a "well-oiled machine". It basically comes down to 2 things.
Energy Shield vs. Frozen Armor
I have little faith in defense truly being able to thwart much of anything. Unless defense is able to rise into greater than 20,000 ,and I could be wrong on this, I feel that it will not prove to be highly effective. At the same time, however, defense should not be neglected. It does not seem apropriate to me to max the armor, rather, put a single point into it, and allow for +skills items to boost it. Energy Shield seems to be a much more solid investment.
Build 1 vs. Build 2 vs. Proposal
While I feel that I fairly clearly outlined my reasoning for leaning towards my proposal, I would like to use this spot to propose something for discussion. First, is Demon Limb viable, and why? One question that I have is whether or not Fire Mastery has an effect on Demon Limb's Enchant.
In case it was not clear, I would like for this thread to be used as a discussion place in regards to the skill allocation for the double dream sorceress. But if you got anything else to say about the build, I'd love to here it! Thanks for taking the time to read my thread.
