Is CoH good for any type of sorcs??

well I finally got a chain of honor archon plate and im really want to use it on a sorc, but Im not too sure which build is best with it. I will have other good gears like hoto etc.. So I just want to know if CoH is good for any sorc builds..

thx in advance

Most people CoH as their godly armor of choice... though some exceptions are surely made... Sorcs focussing on a higher FCR than the CoH will allow will have to use armors like Vipermagi or Que-Hegans (also FHR, always handy)... other than this. Some people prefer the extra dmg obtained with a nice Ormus featuring appropriate skills, which also provides a nice little 20FCR. Some other armors are used in very specific builds, such as Gladiators Bane... other than these though CoH could be seen as a favourite.

It really depends on how you duel, your sorc type, and who you're dueling. When you need the res, go for it. If not, go Ormus... Also, a build like a Boltress, or a FB sorc may need to hit a big 200FCR BP, so an armor with FCR is required. If you leave your sorc's stats, a further evaluation would be much easier.

well heres my plan

Orb/es sorc

20 ice bolt
20 FO
20 Ice Mastery
20 Telekinesis
1+ ES
1 Cold Armor, Teley
1 Pre-req

STR: highest equipment, prolly 100ish for coh archon
DEX: Either Max block or none
VIT: Not really sure if i should keep this low and energy high or keep them both around the same
ENG: ??

Weapon: HOTO
Shield: Either SS or Whistan
Armor: CoH Archon, Upped Viper 34%
Belt: Arach
Gloves: Magefist or Trang glove
Helm: Nightwing
Jewelries: Im thinking of 2x soj or soj + fcr ring
Ammy: Mara, tal ammy or godly crafts
Switch: Memory Staff with 6+ ES

I'll try my best to get some cold charms pretty much.

I think this is pretty much it.

Can some1 plz enlighten me with some questions such as VIT and energy ?

Thx

The Vit/Eng really depends how far you take ES, the more ES the less Vit, the less ES the more Vit... Depenging what % you get, I think it is possible to even use it that way... 95% ES = 95% Energy, 75% ES = 75% Energy... this should work reasonably well for you.

Since that build has a casting delay, you will be fine with your CoH and don't need the extra FCR.

thx for the help

Also is there a way to beat wind druids?? When they turn on their cyclone armor , its kinda hard to kill them...

 

[Sartok]

It depends... all on your build... my Light/ES sorc can tank most... I just tele face to face, and deliver a few shots of CB at em... if all connect thats about 25k dmg, even with 1/6 of that... ~4k... the armor will be gone in a shot. This leave his life to drop to zero in the remaining shots... even with 75 res on, its most often only about 3 extra shots or so... though you will not have enough ES to do this... I suggest you keep your distance, and just hope they don't recast Cyclone Armor, if they do, give up, you're nearly hopeless.
