get resistant high because if you spend no points in energy shield's synergie ES wil drain 2 mana points for every hit you take so if you got a high ES you wil lose mana in seconds when your atacked freqendly so i suggesd get it to smal amount of skill point unless you want to pump teleknise i dont think you wil do that because you wil need those points in atack skills.milky said:
My settup for taking less damage goes as falows
-----------------------------------------------
First thing to say: You can either go for a high mana pole so that you wil not have problems with ES or you can aim for high live your taste. I have a high mana pole because mainly do it for ES and spells.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Get your self the Storm shield 155 Str. req and max your change to block to 75%
2)Get ressistants high as posible it a must!!
3)Keep an item with ES(1 point bonus) and shiver armor(more point bonus the better your defence wil be) on weapon switch so you dont have to spend points in ES and SA great way to spare your skill points
4)Get damage taken goed to mana mod on an item if you got room to spare but beware the higher you ES is the less effectif damage goed to mana wil be.
5)Get item with damage reducion mod
6)Get a deffensief mercanarie act2 normal give him doom runeword holy freeze
7)Avoid melee atackers much as possible :rant:
Wel thats the things i could think of good luck with your build

TS is one of the most useless skill in Lightning tree.
Lvl 45 LMastery / TS = TS dam of 4k....
LeVeL 45?!!?
I'd say lose your 10 lightning gcs and get 10 cold. It's better w/ 10 cold and 10 xtra points in ES than wasting 30 inventory space for xtra 10 lvls of TS / ES.

I agree , Thunderstorm is the most useless skill a sorc has. Well actually, Sorcs have a few useless skills, Telekenisis comes to mind ( unless you use energy shield)
Only use Energy Shield if you are going to put 16 hard points into Tele, otherwise you are wasting your time, you will be loosing more total HP + Mana, than you would just be loosing HP.
Since 1 point in either Vitality or Energy will have the same effect, 2 points of either life, or mana then there is no cost benefit in having an energy shield with less than 16 points in Tele.
These have to be real hard points too, having 10 points in Tele and +6 skills to get 16 total doesnt work. Synergies only benefit from real points placed in the skill.
If you use energy shield, be prepared to use at least 20 skill points in it, 16 in Telekenesis, and 6 In energy shield for a 45% absorb rate.
Lets compare some numbers with a level 10 Energy Shield 59% Absorb
(assuming 6 hard points and +4 skills)
Monster does Points in Tele Damage Damage with
This amount of if you had energy shield
Damage no ES Mana + Life
100 1 100 114 + 41 =155
100 5 100 100 + 41 = 141
100 15 100 63 + 41 = 104
100 16 100 59 + 41 = 100
100 17 100 55 + 41 = 96
100 20 100 44 + 41 = 89
If you only have one point in telekenesis, then you are actually way worse off than if you didnt even have energy shield, as you will loose 41 Hit points ( as opposed to 100 , however 114 Mana V 0 Mana.. there for you are 55 points worse off, when both points cost the same, this is obviously a poor choice.
Energy shield also requires a good warmth, 20 is good... this means to max energy shield you need to sink 60 points into it...
Its just not a viable option.
