hey man !

nice to see a fw guide =), nice guide, pretty solid & good tips !

i made a fw sorc in europe sc ladder for now 2month & have to admit, its a nice char to play with & VERY strong TANK when u can build him with nice equip !

i want to share my opinions & tips as well

i got 2 circlets

the first one is mostly vs melee chars (much life- 10rep )
the second one against trappers (nice to escape from traps without bm wsg xD )
i also use second one when i do need fcr (if im not wrong, a 8 frame fcr will stunt more with ts than a 9frame, this way u're able to stunt your opponent faster)

switch gear :

+5es orb / +1chilling armor + visceratuant (6es/2ca w/o go to stach :P) also allow to not put hard point into both skills

+1sorc sk amu vs +2fire skills :

with high ammount of life/mana, ive noticed & i recommand having 59%es (by using +1sorc skill amu) make a significative difference, your sorc tanks HARD^^... since fw dmg with 5k are way enough... i choose to play with +1sorc skill over +2fire

vs fb's & java's, i usualy not use es... my 1.1k life does it well & anyway 3fb or good cs can down your mana

about boots :

u dont need mana% boots, im currently using 20x sc 15/12 (20 left to get yes..) my mana will be around 1750-1800 at end.. considering i got 59es & +4ts (i didnt put a skill point into frost nova) the crazy warmth % up my whole mana in 10sec

i recommand crafting blood boots...10frw/10rep life/20life..it will go nice with your 1.1k life... its also nice vs plague jav's since es doesnt help at all with psn

sock:

if u can afford a 9dex/6str/15mana jwl will save tonnes of stats compair a perf shapir/ruby into your viper (& we want our tank tanking more^^isnt it?)

block:

i didnt want to sacrify points into dex

i just got a whistand 9dex/-15req + ck boots on stach & the +2fire/9dex/58life amu on this screen

this way, u get even more stats to add into vita/energy when u duel other than melee

finaly some items i use, ty again for cool guide, hope to see more fw sorc around

fhr/life/repl belt will net you more life in most cases

rockfleece helps a lot vs chargers and bowas

telekinesis is quite helpful to me, I use it a lot

blaze is only useful rarely but still worth mentioning imo

gg guide i read it later complete but that what i saw

was nice

i wana make one

Im curious how well this would do vs a trapper in a 1v1

c/c trappers tend to eat this build up sadly

its possible to win but its a long and frustrating duel since claw block is such a bitch with dps

claw block doesn't work against fw...

when you come on each others screen and the sin locks you, a fw underneath him will do a good chunk of damage, but if you miss he can just hold the lock and keep setting traps/mbing

w/ low es, soe, viper and spirit the traps don't hurt too much and its a pretty easy duel tbh

somethings there that makes them able to withstand more than most chars

Difference being though, the sin can run around and passivly hurt you if your on his screen, if u try for a nl you'll be eating traps while sin runs around. The sin can also try tongrab a nl while you are telling around and force you to wsg and tele out, taking some hits. Do you have a fe on east? I'd love to try it out

if the sin is just going to run around and avoid fws you can tele in and out and drop fws all day w/o taking damage...

the only way a sin is going to hurt this build is by holding a lock
