plz help with 1st time pvp FB sorc

Please help me decide what to do here. In 8 years of playing D2 I gave never played a sorc.
I did decide to go with a FB, I like the quick attack. My dilema is deciding between ES, vita, block/no block. I read all the guides and used the search function..........

1.First off, I refuse to pre-buff. (Major pain, done that, been there )Does that take ES off the table? I guess there is a way to go ES w/o pre-buff, 1 pt in ES and pump Telekinesis? Is that right? It's not clear to me.

2. I do have gear to go 200 fcr, but for a 1st time sorc dueler should I go 105 fcr with block ( with Whitstand or SS?) or go all out with 200 fcr?

Gear:
2/20/2soc circlet(2x5/5)
20 fcr/72 mana pally(lol) ammy..till I find sorc ammy
Eschutas/hoto
Vipermagi or coh
Spirit/whitstan/SS
Magefist and Arach
2x 10fcr rings
soulspurs
9x20-30 life fire charms
torch/anni and small mana/life charms.

Any input here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

if your not going to prebuff i wouldnt advise ES as it will mean you need to max ES aswell as telekinis and mess up your fire damage.

if your going for fireball yes you need 200 fcr, more speed > slightly higher damage! it really is insane you can never go back once you try it.

sounds to me like a Vitality 200 fcr FB build would suit you best. ES fireball would be slightly stronger in the best gear but Vita works well too, will still be a killing machine in good gear.

if your going for 200 fcr, having spirit is probably needed? im not quite sure... so if you do use spirit DONT go for max block as that will leave your vita at almost base.

there are so many pvp fireball guides im amazed you havnt found a good one try d2jsp.com guides section aswell?

Hey, tnx for the lone reply, so I went with vita 200 fcr but I did pump dex for full block with Whitstan so I hope I didnt screw it up. I felt with the number of zons, charging pallys and barbs I wanted the option to go max block. I can even throw on Cats and Tals belt for 45 extra dex and get full block and 43 dr with SS, still keeping 105 fcr. My life is around 2k with bo, without pumping dex it would have been around 2.4 k, to me not a significant difference. I did get a hold of 1 fire skill, 18 fcr ammy, 2 skill are sure hard to come by, I ll keep looking. Tnx
