Need lots of help for my pvp orb'er.
Okay, I have a blizzard sorc, but it just isnt working out, i cant aim well with blizzard and dueling anyone that will tele is just impossible. See'ing as i dont want to just make this character's items useless, i have decided to make an orb sorc...
----------------------------
First off i need help with my gear.
This is what i have in store for now
Helm - Nightwing's Veil (Looking for someone with a nice one, above 20%)
Orb - Death's Fathom (32%)
Armor - I cannot decide between a facet ice bolt ormus or vipermagi or COH.
Oh yea, and if i went vipermagi (35 resis btw), cant decide to facet or um.
Shield - Troll's Nest Sanctuary (70 Resis - i was happy when i made this)
Gloves - I prefer magefist for the 20% FCR so i can reach that last breakpoint... i dont like having to use FCR rings.
Belt - Arachnid Mesh... self explanitory
Boots - I cannot decide between sandstorm treks, or these that i found one day:
Rare Greaves
10% Faster run
Cold Resist - 36
Lightning Resist - 16
Poison Resist - 31
and theyre eth with repair durability mod... but that doesnt matter cause of the 12 defense.
Amulet - Crafted +2 Sorc Skills, 20% FCR, Mana, Resists
Rings - I switch off to whatever is needed, i use soj's, dwarfs, ravens, and wisps... or a fcr ring if i needed it.
Charms - an anni with pathetic stats and im working on getting a few cold gc's.
So the grey area is within my armor and boots. I used this same setup on my blizz sorc (cept with a blizz ormus), but i found i was:
Low on mana
Low on health
If anyone could help me out here itd be greatly appreciated.
----------------------------
Next aspect i need help with are my stats.
Strength is fine, enough for equipment and i dont need much considering i got rid of that stormshield.
Now most people tell me that i should get the dex for max block... but this is alot of stat points in dex.
Other people tell me to use no dex and go all vita... I can't decide here. I like having lots of life, but the life bonus for sorcs isnt very good. If i could get your opinion on this itd be great.
Energy none
----------------------------
Skill points: this is what i thought was viable...
COLD TREE ::::::::: 65
Frozen Orb - 20
Cold Mastery - 20
Ice Bolt - 20
Chilling Armor - 1
Prerequisites - 1
LIGHTNING TREE :::
Thunder Storm - 20
Lightning Mastery - I max this last, so 5+
Teleport - 1
Prerequisites - 1
FIRE TREE:::::::::::
Warmth - 1
What i wanted to do was emphasize the orb damage, but still get decent damage from tstorm. I know alot of orb sorcs dont max cold mastery, and max lightning mastery... but i figure since thunderstorm wont be a main killer itd be worth getting more out of an orb... (or will tstorm be a main killer?) and to give stacked resist's a hard time.
All help is appreciated
