Fathom - Heavy hitter, No. 1 choice for Bliz sorc, cant go wrong with dmg. Useless on other sorcs. ***Dmg: 10/10 (yes it lacks FCR, but you dont need FCR to cast BLiz) ***Def: 5/10 (though no resist all, but it gives 2 most useful resists, which are fire and lighting, never seen monsters cast cold in baal runs...) ***Reliability: 0/10 (no mana boost, but bliz sorcs dont need much mana, unless you pvp and tele alot)
Hoto- above medium hitter, leans more toward defensively, much cheaper than Fathom, best weapon that ALL SORCS can use. ***Dmg: 6.5/10 (+3 helps dmg alot) ***Def: 9/10 (40 res all, 10 dex, +20 life resplenish, Groovy, Spirit of Oak charges, boosts life tremendously, would give it 10 if res was a bit higher) ***Reliability: 3/10 (+15% max mana is nothing if you dont have the base mana to back it up)
Wizspike- NO! Not for Bliz sorc, although it is very good for almost all casters (i use it on my necro over Hoto and loving it) but NOT for bliz sorc. ***Dmg: 0/10 (yes 0, no +skill, FCR doesnt help you cast bliz faster, even in pvp, fcr can easily made up with other weapons, though if this is bonenecro, i give it 100/10 :yep: ) ***Def: 5/10 (Huge amount of resist, but pretty much it, res can easily be gained through sorc's gears, so not that important) ***Reliability: 3/10 (huge mana, and i mean HUGE, but whats the point of having so much mana when you cant use them? Again if this is Necro or FB sorc, 100000000/10!! BIG mana drinkers will love this)
Overall, i'd pick Fathom for BLIZ sorc, 30% dmg is ALOT, and i mean ALOT for a bliz sorc, around 2k dmg i think, not sure, not to mention your cold mastery reduces resit to -100 (depends), that makes it 4k!!
Use HOTO only if you lack resis, dont want to die and still want to dish out dmg. STAY AWAY from Wizspike, it's a great weapon, but just not for Bliz sorcs.
Btw off topic, dam it get a SS, use up a bit str and dex but so what? My sorc with max block can tank Hell minions of destruction in 8 player game, i like to see vita sorcs do that...

Heh,nice commenting I just noticed something about the resist part though:
"Hoto- [...] would give it 10 if res was a bit higher "
"Wizspike- [...] Huge amount of resist, but pretty much it, res can easily be gained through sorc's gears, so not that important"
o_________O granted this may be considered as nitpicking but i thought i'd point that out. T.T
