ES or not, for a hardcore light levelling sorc?
Hello everyone,
after gratefully reading these forums a lot, I figured it was finally time to post a question on which I cannot seem to put my mind at ease.
I want to build a sorc levelling machine on _hardcore_, as my ultimate goal is to reach 95-99 at the ladder.
I haven't really played sorceress up above 85 on hardcore before and what I can't figure out is this:
Will sacrifising one synergy to put 20 points into telekinesis be a bad idea, if I want to reach highest level possible? Survival above all, naturally, but is killing speed really decent enough for high player games when level 95, if I sacrifise a synergy?
I was thinking
20 telekinesis
20 lightning
20 CL
20 lightning mastery
rest into charged bolt
(and warmth + shiver armor)
I have access to relatively good gear, and my merc will be using infinity.
I'm aiming for max block with stormshield, max resistances, 78 FCR, 50% damage reduction and hopefully 20-30% FHR from charms. I won't be spending extra points on mana just because I use ES, I think life is above all, so mana burn mobs shouldn't be hitting me harder than non-ES users, right?
Forgive me if I posted this in the wrong forum, but I figured theres a lot more people reading sorc forums than HC forum. If I did something wrong I'll delete and repost.
If you feel as I've left something out, please ask, I'll respond asap, as I'll be lurking this thread.

Edit:
edited my gear in, so there's room for suggestions for improvements
Shako (perhaps with shael for 20% FHR?)
HoTo
CoH
SoJ
BKring
Magefist
Marrowwalk
Stormshield
Maras
Arachnid Mesh
With this gear I'll only be reaching 78FCR, but have somewhat great survival, then again, how important is the 117 BP to kill efficiently from 95-99? Again I'm thinking survivability vs killing-speed, because I'm playing hardcore, one death is one too many. I love capped damage reduction, but if I was to reach the 117FCR I'd have to skip SS for spirit monarch. (Thus also missing out on some block) Any thoughts?
