PvP Lightning ES Sorc: Max Block or spirit?
I have been thinking about this all day and I really can't decide which I would like better. I would love to get some opinions from someone who has tried both....
My gear will mostly be limited by budget, nothing extremely godly (i.e. i will probably be using occulus for weapon, vipermagi armor, shako helm, etc)
A bit of background on myself: I typically max block on most sorcs but spirit monarch just looks extremely tempting. I will probably be going for around 120% FCR to hit the 117 lightning BP. So spirit is not 100% neccessary to hit that, but it would sure help a lot.
My choices:
-Maxed block with a low-STR build, Shield would possibly be a whitstans or upgraded viscurant.
Maxed block with 156 str, shield is SS
0 block with 156 str, shield is Spirit Monarch.
0 block with low-str (lidless shield maybe?)
I have seen some guides recommend max block with any sorceress pvp build, but i've seen a lot of people say that with an ES build (assuming 95% ES) block is unnessesary because ES blocks almost all the damage anyways.
Opinions/thoughts?
