you almost got it out flawlessly.
nice try, you can recieve your tokens at the front desk.
thanks for playing.

Okay. Perf stats on a 18 belt are what? 24/40/5/20/ res? Resists dont do anything since a stack shield is used anytime you need resists. My orb has 20 base life. Taking it down to a 24/20/5/20. Other than a higher faster hit recovery break point and a little bit more damage, i still prefer mine. I can get more stats, dtm, and regen with my orb.

imo

i would rather have +1 fire skills

Should make a topic in the forum for this.

Would be interesting imo.

first, you can get 40 base life on white/gray sorc orbs. there was a 3 fb / teleport / 40 life / 2 os orb floating around east NL a few months back. i don't know who ended up buying it.

second, you don't even know what the stats are on volka's orb and you're making ridiculous assertions like "i can get more dtm on mine." maybe his spawned with dtm as an affix? maybe his spawned with more life than yours? that second part is likely, since 20 life is average in terms of orb automods.

regardless, the point still stands that 4 fb / 10 fcr orb (even if it had no other stats or staffmods) is far superior to yours. you save 2 points in tele that you can put into warmth? he gets an extra point in warmth from the +1 fire skills on his orb. your extra 10 stats are matched in under a minute with 5 rep on his belt. after that, his rep > your stats.

it's not even close.

edit: and i forgot my main point -- level 18 fb sorcs are so incredibly underpowered that you don't even have room to sacrifice damage for anything. level 18 necromancers all use 4 bone spear wands, even though 3 spear / 2 os wands are easily shoppable. why? because underpowered casters need all the damage they can get.

here is volka's orb:

thats not 10 fcr O.o

beat me to it.

hm, i thought he had a 4 fb / 10 fcr orb. either way, it still beats energy orb's, with or without fcr.

energy orbs orb doesnt have energy so auto fail imo
