You equip should do you fine..

The thing you need is skills right now.. I think that what order you max them in won't matter that much, since its only 100 points anyways... the only thing you need worry about is ES/CM... these two will be tricky. Depending on how much you wanna prebuff your ES makes the difference. You can go 20 ES and not prebuff as much, or go 20 CM and prebuff plenty. Or you can just lvl to like 95+ and be fine either way haha, the thing is, do you want to xchange a whole whack of light gcs, and a memory staff and all that?

With your setup and a +9 Memory and maxed ES you will have a... if I count correctly, you can have a lvl 39 ES, and an anni will make that 40... so your ES lvl shouldn't be a problem, and your sojs/arachs/frosties/silks will keep your mana lvl nice and high. It looks good so far, but the skill distribution of those two skills is all up to you really. Good Luck!

If u are not sure what stast to put, i am building up my orb/es sors and for now it works preaty cool. I decided to put more in vita, max block with storm, rest in vita/energy.Now i got 2.1k vita. 1.5k mana and the nice thingy about this is that i can tank preaty well with a similar setup u mention above.

I decided to max telekinesis and leave es just until 67 , so i burn less mana and more life, for me works fine.

I also dueleld a friend that have a very similar build to yours ( all energy stuff), 79%es, 4k mana,..and so on. The problem with this build is that 1 orb drain his mana very fast, and when the mana is up to 0, he got just 700-800 life left,, and u can immagine that this go down preaty fast with the next orb.

Aniway if u want to test (becouse i am alwas in a mood for testing stuff), u can whisper me *combatman

depend on what skillers u got and how much life on them, but i think u should get 1,2-1.5k life with good bo.

U forgot one little thingy,, that build is good vs casters but a good ww tele barb/asa will tear u apart, not to mention ow that will drain your life quickly becouse bypass es.

I would try to put half stast in vita , half in energy, but its up to u ofcourse.

Bdway thx, for the duel this afternoon even if short one.
