Guardian Angel for a Sorc
I just built an all out defensive Sorc for public duelling that wears Guardian Angel and Stormshield and am quite impressed so far with how well she survives, pvp and pvm. Even though she only hits the 63 FCR breakpoint and has no merc she's also the best Baal teleporter I've built yet. The tradeoff is lower damage, she loses 4-5k versus my old fireball sorc.
I'm posting this because I'm interested in comments on my gear and how others on this forum would build a sorc using GA for any purpose, PvP (public or organized) or PvM (MF, questing, rushing, Baaling, etc.) The armor has +15% max to all resists and +20% chance to block, so you can even go max-block with a shield normally considered non-blocking.
My setup is:
Guardian Angel (Shael)
Kira's Guardian (Shael)
Mara's
Magefist
2xSOJ
String of Ears
Sandstorm Treks
CTA
Wizspike-Stormshield (Um)/4xPTopaz Monarch/4xPSapphire Monarch
Annihilus
1xFHR SC (+1 more, see below)
5xFire GCs (plain)
Vita SCs (plain)
10K Fireball
63 FCR breakpoint (9 Frame)
60 FHR breakpoint (8 Frame) (oops, next break is 86)
48 FBR breakpoint (5 Frame)
1400 Life with BO
90% Resist all, stacked 20/20/20/70 without shield
50% PDR/75% block with SS
15% PDR/53% block with gemmed Monarch
