I wanted to try a max ES sorc build just for something different. 2 Questions:
1. I've seen various approaches to the Mana/Vitality ratio. For single-player PvM, for a bloke like me who has never played this character before, what would be the best ratio? I will probably get hit by mana burn bosses every once in a while, so I'd rather not be insta-killed in these situations. I've seen several scenarios:
- Base Vitality / Pump Energy - This seems like it'd work well much of the time, but mana burn would result in disaster.
- 50/50 Ratio of Mana/Life - This makes more sense to me.
- Other ratios
What do you guys think would work best?
Another minor question: Shiver Armor - If I have an extra point or two, would this be useful to me in Hell? Since resists don't matter as much with an ES sorc, and so much is applied after ES, wouldn't this be a good choice, since it slows down monsters before they attack, and I'll be in melee situations?
