Damn. Also did not think of mana burn mobs.


Pfft. I'm just tired of those builds man - I've done them countless times. But, in the end, you are right. Sooner or later, ES will not feel as powerful PVM and I will be forced to go back.

If I go Light/ES, I will also feel significant decrease in DMG, I guess it is possible to make an ES hybrid with only 6 points(assuming I have at least +10 to all from my gear ) in Telekinesis and a Memory. With 16 pts in Telekinesis, the conversion rate of ES is 1:1. 11 pts in ES=61 percent absorb rate. I really wanted to get a point in Enchant for my merc ( not that he will need it ), but prolly won't have enough pts, unless I am willing to sacrifice the deeps. A Enchant Memory would help.

One downside that I do not like is the weapon swap with bo/spirit every time ES is cast. Those few seconds are a pain.

I wish I had the time and FG to make a Passion/Zeal sorc. ( I know I know not an optimal build by any criteria, but you must admit it should be fun )

Anyway, thanks a lot for the input ppl :) I appreciate it.

only hard points work for synergies. so your +10 will not boost your telekinesis..........

Only hard points works for telekinesis, you need to put 16 in it. Therefore most viable ES build is orb, but thats pretty much useless in pvm.

If you want something new go offline and start single player and build your character from scratch

Right... Oh well, good old vita build it is then :)

Cheers again for the input :)



That was my initial idea, but the d2 community, the party, and the trade, are just too big a part of the game and I did not go far in SP. I also missed d2jsp tbh. Even though d2jsp significantly cuts your actual play time lol.
