if u use orb, u have to use fcr belt or 1 ring in order to reach bp.


spirit offers more fhr and usually more life and mana and magic sorb is nice.

Orb offers more dmg, can have nice modes aswell and option for 2 sockets.


Spirit easy to get.

weigh ur options.

negatives: 22 vita = 44 health, so you'd lose 38. 112 mana - 9 energy is a 94 mana loss. 55 fhr is just lost, you shael your helm + armor and you're still 15 short so 3 charms at 45 hp lost, plus you lose the 10 life rep and 38 mana regen of pskulls or 76 life of rubies or maybe cold/light stack in certain setups? its a big loss.

positives: 35 fire resist means you dont need any extra after anyas, so you can be less picky on other gear or a couple charms. you'd lose a couple mana per cast of teleport with the lower slvl from no +2 all of spirit, and gain a couple hundred screen damage for fireball, which is more positive than negative, but still has a cost. you have a free jewel slot for a combination of 6 str 9 dex 8 life 10@ res 30 single res 15 mana. pick your favorite 4, probably str/dex/life/30 cr or lr, you now have a VERY expensive jewel and you're still in the hole hp-wise vs spirit.

some people like fb orbs. i dont unless they're virtually perfect, and even then we're still losing some benefits from spirit, namely the 55 fhr. 60 fhr bp sorcs work with orbs, but you generally wanna go ES imho for that, and an orb with 9 ene isnt real great for an ES sorc
