that is a figurative way of saying it........
he gets 95% es from the skill and counters the rest of the damage using his PDR and MDR, so it effectively works like 100% es..
as for the guide though, i'm not sure as to how good it will be, seeing as he is compromising a LOT of gear for his MDR/PDR, so his damage will be low, and his mana pool will be low for ES.. once the mana pool is drained, this is cake to any char..
Yup, my dam is lower then low 435 orb:P -70 resist whit hoto
atm i skills some coldmastery and took a doom: 4xxdam -145res atm:P
Stil this drains life from all no absorbers, even the sick stack tank dins:P
Opinal is maxing coldmastery instead of warmth and cold bolt sinergy instead of fun sks like thunder-blaze. this can add the dam 3 times, but stil is just 25-40% of what a pure orber do, and even pure orbers seems to do low dam vs some. i tested this and i tested 5/4 cold rbf instead of mal in my gear, just less fun:P
Basic dam rule: the lower your orb, the lower your opponents dam looks like to, couse more tanking:P
Ohh yes my mana could be low:P i realy need ful mana inventory+112mana circlet-120mana amu to keep my mana above 4.5k
But remember, i think 3.5k mana+insight+warmth is like the same as a 5k mana fireball soso whit lvl30warmth and no insight in a short duel and even better in long duels.
I tested alot of different setups like +3cold 25dr amu/circlet instead of mana, for this tank sorc is only 1 option, mana>dam:P
Somehow 4.3k mana is the lowest exeptible.
Its like all oher char, things like resist/fhr/fcr/frw keeps your more alive then few extra hp, for me thats 100%es+frw+block+regen mana, not just a big mana pool:P
Thats why i think in GC: 7frw>6str(12mana)
and i think silkweave 30frw 10% mana>55mana boots+5%mana 20frw
