Need help with Chain Lightning/Fireball Sorc

I am planning on making sorceress that i can take to hell and defeat Baal without too much difficulty. i also dont want to make a plain old meteorb or blizzball sorc so I made up this build, it uses fireball, chainlightning, and Energy shield. Here it is:

Fire Skills:46

20 Firebolt
20 Fireball
5 Fire Mastery
1 Warmth

Lightning skills:64

1 Charged Bolt (pre-req)
1 Static Field
1 Telekenesis (pre-req)
1 Teleport
10 Energy Shield
10 Lightning
20 Chain Lightning
20 Lightning Mastery

Thats my "rough draft" of this build. Am I leaving out any 1 point wonder skills or utilities? With this build my Fireball damage will be 1197-1359 and my Chain Lightning damage will be 5-1529. This is before any +Skills from my equipment or anything. I like to plan my characters up to 99 just for fun. Also, could someone tell me how this build would fare in a duel? It's not that important but just for fun. Any help or criticism is greatly appreciated!

Thx

im actually playing this bulid as my recent char. quite cool actually. but you'll need a whole lot of faster cast and a good mana pool to support the spamming. my skill planning are much the same as yours. but i aim for lvl 85, so less pts here and there.

Build looks good, but forget about Energy Shield, unless you are prepared to invest 20pts into Telekinesis. Read up on Energy Shield in 1.10 in the Sorceress Guide Library. ES without TK will give you a fast death in Hell.

So could I maybe put 10 points into telekenisis and 1 into energy sheild then let my equipment skill add the rest? Or should i completly abandon energy shield alltogether? Also, if I do use energy shield, would it be wise to maybe put stat points into energy becasue of the way better exchange rate for mana than for vitality and health? What do you think?

Unless you wanna dump 20 points into tk...energy shield will drain your mana hella fast! I suggest going with vita/block on this build :thumbsup: Just my opinion tho...also ur build sounds really cool i might i have to try it but modify it alittle (charged bolt) Good luck on ur new build, have fun with her :clap:
