Imo this guide could be much better.

1.) 95% ES -> Frosts, not Magefists, the 40% increased max. Mana cannot be replaced
2.) If you want to play 95% ES -> 20 Tk, anything lower is a total waste of defense especially for a Sorc who does not need that an high amount of skillpoints anyway
3.) ES Ormus is a bad Idea. Instead you should use an Eni when using NW or a CoH when using a Circ giving a Strength Bonus to easier reach the 156 Strength for using Spirit

Imo the best build for a PvP Orb Sorc is the following:

- 35/-5 DF
- 20/-5 NW
- Enigma
- Spirit 35
- Frosts
- 1x Soj
- 1x 10Fc Strength Mana Ring
- 2Sorc/Cold 20 Fc Strength + Mana or just Mana
- Arach
- ManaBoots with FHR

+ 1x 12Fhr Sk
+ 2x 5Fhr/17Mana Scs

Rest Pure Life/Mana scs and 40+ Life Sks + T / Anni

With this build you reach the 86% Fhr Bp.
You hit exactly 105% Fcr which are needed.
You deal an high amount of Damage using NW+DF.

If you want to play 95% ES use a full ES-Precast-Setup; using a 3ES Ormus doesn´t really make sense, the Mana saved by using Eni (less Strength needed to stat) will replaced a small lose considering Mana.

I play this Setup for ages now (only used in Publics since Orbs are rarely effective in TvT´s compared to Blizz-Sorcs) - Imo it´s the best way to play a Orb Sorc as I tried several other builds aswell.

Best Regards,

Ben

2 Things:

1. Frosties are a much better choice than Magefists (40% more mana)
2. Its lvl 16 for a 1 to 1 ratio but if you are going that far, its worth the 4 extra points for the .75: 1 ratio (like getting 25% extra life)

Other than that, no complaints

If you know what you are doing ES orbers can be quite powerful... To max your damage, forget about ormus. Use a 20/20 armor. If you want, use a 20/20 shield but your fcr goes down... but you can get mass damage.


lol ormas > 20/20shield
