1st/10
lld sux/10

ice/10

No

Forgot to post boots / 10

Imo 8/10

No offense, but this char is no trophy at all.

I mean, eth bugged 4 sock ancient and eth bugged 3sock crown with nothing but def jewels ?
Come on..

All the defense wont help you if you cant shoot Iceblasts anymore after 10-15 seconds. I am speaking about the very low mana and dmg2mana

I give you 7/10 on Skull heart and death gyre orb + stone gyre jewel.

Everything else doesnt deserve a rate imo.

@ level 12 with the skill ice blast being only level 11 it uses 11 mana. average vlld duels for me last around 10-15 seconds. If you were shooting ice blasts with out interruption with only 178 mana you will be able to shoot them for 10 full seconds. That's with out interruption. In a duel your going to be hit and of course dtgm will have affect. Your going to last for about 12-15 seconds. With the higher mana build I found myself never using all the 260 mana. So I figured why not get some more def charms since I'm not using all my mana. to each his own. I sit there and tank the hits. I don't run around trying to avoid a melee attack. The objective for me is to sit there and tank the hits, which she does very well. t4t

to clear some things:

- I am of course also talking about "standing and tanking the hits" aswell. . Dont know why you come with this, but i thought this would be obvious. I do have an IB sorc aswell btw and GM duels consist of no running in EU.

-Ib does 194-211 dmg, lets say 200. That is ~ 33 after pvp penalty, just a rough draw ofc. That is maybe 8-16dmg each ib if somebody has 50-75res. And that is easily obtainable as Sigon boots already have 40cres for example, + maybe Anya 30 and so on. (res on rings , charms whatever) Just have a look at your char screen !
Lets say 12 dmg.
Now think of an average duel char having ~ 500 life , you have to shoot 40-50 times.
As you have said , lvl11 ib costs 11mana, means 400-500mana is needed (or less but some dmg2mana).

You have 12dmg2mana, 178mana. How are you going to kill with that ? Dont tell me your armor is damaging aswell, because that dmg doesnt matter that much.

- Using eth bugged 4 sock eth ancient armors , 3 sock eth bugged crowns will brake and are considered BM . How shall this be any trophy ?


I dont wanna denounce your char , but there are in my opinion so obvious flaws that make this char not near special.

maybe it is just me though

i'm actually in game right now with *cubenzo dueling his sac necro. he was able to hit my sorc once and then he of course died. duel last less than 10 seconds as usual. maybe i'm just lucky and the people i'm dueling have horrible resistances ? I've beat everyone with her on us east. Only time she can be stopped is if they get a helm with max cold res.

to each his own i suppose. you can say it's not a trophy but i build characters to duel and win. i only posted this because of the other guy who posted his level 14 cold sorc with only 1.5k defense. with out the eth bugged repair armors and helms i have i can achieve 1.5k with my eth rep armors. maybe i'll just pm the vlld guys on us east and take videos then post them up.

Sac Necs have terribly low ar, it is clear he cant really hit. If he is not having high res / maybe not even cnbf he will die . I am talking about vlld players who are prepaired, i dont wanna make your opponents bad i am talking about experiences i have done.

I have tried to give you some numbers, which shall show i 100% dont believe that you cant kill a decent vlld char with 400-500 life as your mana doesnt last long enough.
My lvl12 ib has 376mana and 31% dmg2mana 40fc and ofc also 194-211dmg with 1400def(+) ( using 20* 15/12mana LCs and mostly mana/dmg2mana jewels in the gear ! )
and i still have problems to even kill somebody in Europe if the opponent has full res. ( which most have!)

Just to refer to that lvl14 ghandi sorc, there were some really really impressive rares and jewels on it which i definately call a trophy.

I agree : If you like that char, everything is fine.
