I like how people that use sorcs always bitch about sorb, and that without it they will always beat you... sorb is there for a reason - to balance the game. Otherwise everyone would use a sorc now wouldn't they... Remember that... Besides calling every class easy for a fb sorc (which i have never in my years of plaing d2 ever lost to one) easy... that is a VERY nice guide.

hey,


i got a question now about the basic build. im no sorc player and im interested in this:

could you point out the advantages of a vita build that doesnt use any ES at all over a sorc thats based on ES and high mana?



thanks.

i disagree with what u say about sorb
it was put in the game to balance things, and for use in PVM
i dont think it has a place in PVP
my opinion, anyways

and i never said that "every calss is easy for a fb sorc"
i said that any class is "beatable"
based on personal skill, items, and matchup, a fireball sorc is very versitile
however, any class can technically beat you.

and thanks very much for saying my guide is "VERY nice"
i appreciate it

skully;
i like pure vita with 200%fcr more than ES for a few reasons:
with 200%fcr, you cannot use sojs. sojs are key in making a successful ES sorc
with a 200%fcr build, it is much easier to stack life than it is mana
with godly rares available to you as a 200%fcr, it is easy to stack resists -> therefore making it logical to use a vita build where your resists are coming into play

it is possible to make a godly ES 200%fcr, dont get me wrong
i just find it more benifitial to go vita because of the item choices available to a 200%fcr sorc.

hmm wont the fact that u dont use any es make you pretty vulnerable against barbs, necs, hammerdins, and in general all sources of high phy and magical dmg?

so if your dodge tactics fail, or if you simply eat some invisible hammers or bs, or get charged by a desync laming smiter or libby, you will get a lot of damage :/

with 3200 life i can easily tank an invisible hammer or BS
and like i said, any sorc is laregly based around skill, so the key is NOT allowing your dodge tactics to fail
often when fighting a barb, if they get a direct ww on you, you're dead
you have to practice a lot

ok thanks for replying.

so-so

thanks for the constructive critisism

you gotta admit though, if there was no sorb, everyone would use a sorc...
