I'm not a big a fan of max block. I hate everything that's random, it kills you Besides that's two more items that ain't easy to find.

I've got 50 fcr on S Branch, without Viper that just leaves me with 50, and just as you say 63 is enough. I'm not going lower than that though and I have no other source of fcr. CoH is obviously awesome and would allow a respecc aswell which would give me more mana/hp in return.

CoH + Sanctuary would be (if roll on sanct is ok) over 130 res. I do really want that 30 fhr though. It makes teleporting, when I need to, A LOT safer.

EDIT: Arach belt or something like that obviously too but it's just another obstacle...

I shit you not, I found about a dozen arach's from hell meph in the span of a week back when i still played ladder resets. When/if you get to that point, he's been the best on them for me so far

Yeah, you are right. But honestly I'd much rather use TG. I hate HC withouh TG :|

Yep, well making good chars requires lots of time, I spent almost 2 years perfecting my single player softcore frenzy barb he has ebotd col blade and a really nice eth/zod fools mod 295ed/9 max col blade.

I'm not sure I understand this sentence: I'm not a big a fan of max block. I hate everything that's random, it kills you

Well I mean the first part is clear, you don't like maxing block, but I don't understand the 2nd part? hehe .. you die less to random stuff with mb ..

Max block = less of something else like health or mana. Maxblock is useful for javazons and paladins, but that's about it imo. Not counting pvp ofc.

When the 75% fails you several times in a row your health might not be enough. I'd rather take even damage with high health.

Ahh I see, I have found the opposite, especially on a sorceress. the return I get from maxing block nets me much more survivability than from pumping only vita. Esp if you can get decent fbr. But I suppose everyone has their own opinions! Never heard anyone say max block = less survivability before tho lol thats a first. But congrats on the ber and enjoy the rest of your WT!!!
Block also helps by not letting you get fhr locked by multiple hits, blocks attacks with annoying mods like mana burn and amp cast, and wiz is the best WT hc sorc weap hands down and it takes a decent amount of dex anyways

I really just think he likes full vita more then anything haha, he likes to have a large life pool so he can take hits and not die instantly.
Mb = lower life = 1 missed block half life left that es no bueno!
Full vita = high life = 1 hit 4/5 life left, that es bueno!

lol
Full vita all the way!

If I could choose my own items like on battle net I would go Max Block on other chars aswell. But you don't have that luxory in SP.



Yes, this ^

All the things other have already said + I want to ask a question, how many hours do you spent on playin
i'm like getting 2h on a day max, and im completely satisfied but you man are absolutely flying through this game.

all my luck goes with you to hell baal
PS dont die

this is not true though. the bonus to hp from not maxing block isnt a lot at all. certainly not enough that the difference is from 1/2 life in one hit to 1/5 life in one hit.

especially once you have items like i was mentioning, your life would be way high enough, and ive played probably over 500 sorcs lol, definitely over 50 on single player alone. max block is a much better and safer build (once you have decent items, but not really while leveling up, but I still stay 51% block with mosers). but ofc it is not my place to tell people how to play their characters

Also, yes you can choose whatever items you like on sp, I have better chars on sp than I do on bnet. I just takes patience (years)
