The idea is nice, but the fact that it doesn't 1-hit stuff makes it much slower than other types of light sorc. You end up casting nova anyways to finish the enemies off, and at that point it would be better to just focus on nova.
Maybe if you get the 6-facet weapon it would be a bit faster due to -res, even though you lose a frame for TP (but I think you still can get to 105 losing a few skill points, then you have to see if that's worth it). The -res would make a huge hit IMO.
If you have a way to make it so that the holy shock 1-hits mobs, or even just target some area you can 1-hit them. Then it could be worth it.
BTW people commenting on schuta's is kinda bizarre, how dumb can people be just to try to look cool and smart.
You seem to not know the reason Schuta's sucks in a build that is using end game items.
High end damage with schuta's exactly 3700. Check his posted D2 Planner.
Damage with HOTO 3567
Poison is an issue with this build and so are the rest of the resistances.
This is what you gain to switch to HOTO
+10 To Dexterity
Replenish Life +20
Increase Maximum Mana 15%
All Resistances +30-40
You would lose 137 damage and 30 mf
To me and most people 137 damage isn't worth What HOTO can Offer. If you want the MF I would use OCCY. Granite I would fix the defense in the build but that's just me being a nerd.
*If you use hoto and Add 1 light GC your at 3778 damage. Why not drop 3 small charms and add hoto and 1 light GC? This would Fix your resistances and give you more damage at the cost of %21 mf...
Last one I would take 1 point from warmth and put into frozen armor. this doubles your defense. Change merc to defiance. this would double your defense again. Add sunder charm!
You should also test dropping 12 scs and adding light GC's...Do you really need %325 MF? you would go up to 4446 damage. 400 life 2550 mana. So you only lose 169 mana but gain a ton of damage.
TLDR: Eschuta sucks. Add HOTO, 4-6 light GCS, Drop 12 mana scs, add sunder, add defiance merc, add chilling armour. More damage, more tanky, more resistances, more faster=more fun
