Is it possible to build hell viable melee ES sorc?

wouldnt it be more fun to be a werebear instead of a zealer?
id think high es/max block/bear with enchant would be crazy

I think that's what the consensus was...Zeal flat out sucks on her. Shifting to bear and having a free Fanaticism aura would definitely be good. Not to mention your vitality and defense would rise to nice levels. Also the attack rate of the bear using a normal attack and lvl 9 FANA would be easier to negotiate as far as IAS is concerned.

Oddly enough, Beast is a lousy choice of weapon for a Werebear, it's too slow. 95IAS Phase or 113IAS Caduceus (i.e. Griz Caduceus) both hit 5fpa. At high speeds for Wereforms, only on-weapon IAS matters.
