White +3 ES Staff

Is it possible to buy one or do I have to find it.

It needs to be able to get 4 sockets of course. =D

I have been looking and I have not found any Staffs in Act 2 Normal shop that have the lvl 24 spells on them.

That's because the level18 spells are the top-end you'll find there. So, in other words, you have to find the staff yourself.


@coppatop, ES is still relatively popular, especially in PvP (I believe). And 4 socket 'white' staves can be used for the Memory runeword, which adds +6 to EnergyShield in addition to whatever natural staffmods are present. So a +9 EnergyShield staff is possible, and a nice little prebuffing tool.

Is 9+ ES staff's possible? Everyone say that 3 is the max skill bonus for the class. For example that 2 pieces of trang oul gives +18 Fireball, but for sorc thats +3 max..

SHouldn't +6 ES be max on staff's then?

Re: White +3 ES Staff

The fireball bonus on Trang's set is referred to as an oskill, or a bonus to a skill that is given to any class using that item(items in Trang's case). Oskills are capped at +3 because it would be a bit much if a sorc could get +18 to fireball from that set, for example. The ES bonus from Memory says +3 to Energy shield(sorceress only) so the bonus is not capped at +3 like an oskill would be. It also has +3 to sorceress skills, and if you added it to a base staff with +3 to es, you would get a nice +9 skill bonus to ES
