dont bother with orb

you will never beat a decent geard windie ontop that 2 ravens will hugely null any amount of orb damage. Basicaly orbers are the sorc version of the druids town builds, good only to nk people


Actually im getting this idea that all sorcs are pretty useless in pvp. Too bad though, its a cool char.

Well i dont know why you should use the Es ormus.
If you just use a +9 es staff you easelly can get te 95% absorb.
@ lvl 40 energy shield you have 95% absorb.
so you get skills from soj = 2, nightwing=2, mara's=2, DF=3, SPirit=2, Arach=1 i prefer vipermagi so+1
Anni=1 Torch=3 Cta=1 So thats a total of 18 skill points.

So you only need to put 13 points on energy shield for a 95 % absorb if you use the +9 energy shield staff xD
soo then you have some skill points left for warmth or frozen armor or something =]

Tbh this is a bad guide. First of all, always max telekinesis, with a memory staff you can get 95% ES around lvl 96 anyway.
I don't like your build either. Frostburn gives a huge amount of mana which obviously is needed for a 95% ES sorc. I would go for some nice pair of crafted boots and a nice crafted amu.

Oh and btw, saying that resistance isn't worth anything because it doesn't affect the mana-absorbed damage is nonsense. As long as you have mana, resistance is just as important on an ES sorc as on any other character. It's when you run out of mana that it doesn't really matter.


Edit: forgot to mention that I've heard from good orbers that you only need the 63 fcr bp. If so, the build should be alot different.

How good do Sorcs with this build fair assuming they have mediocre items like Skullders Shako Occy etc. Is it any good or should I go standard Vita sorc.
