Seeings as I have never made an ES sorce before I am gonna try and see if it as good you all seem to think it is, but I have a few questions;

Is it possible to swap those rings, boots, gloves and ammy you mentioned with Sojs, Treks, Trang gloves and Maras? Also those SC's you mentioned do not sound like they be on current ladder, so would All Res or FHR lifers be okay in their place?


faggitor would be pleased by your bendableness of your mind.

I never made a blizz0r before, so I can't help you with those questions.

Yeh well he seems like 500% sure that this is good, so I guess if I have never tried it I cannot really comment on it.

I just need little help with that is listed above, 'cos lots of people say the items he said are duped ones and there is no btals anymore on ladder is there?

just think a bit. with es you can take 10-20+ hammers, 83478374 bone spirits/spears/teeth, barbs are forced to bleed you via hit-and-run tactics, it helps immensely vs smite/charge and bowzons, it's an insane help vs windies etc etc. most hits wont force you into hit recovery since es soaks up the damage so few attacks will remove more than 1/12:th of your life, with a decent %es you only have to worry about leap and mind blast.

the gear you mentioned is ok for a non-block sorc. if you duel alot of meleechars it never hurts to keep a blockswitch in stash (+dex items that replace rings/amu/boots and maybe helm). keep in mind that the more %es you have the less important dr/resists become, i.e. life skillers and life/mana charms are usually the way to go charm-wise.

I was planning on using these items as main ones;

Nightwing
Fathom
SS (5/-5)
20/-5 Blizz Ormus
Maras
2 x Soj
15/15 Treks
Arach
Trang Gloves

Switch;

Cta
Spirit

Inventory:

20/##/# Anni
20/##/# S Torch
8 x 30+ Cold Lifer Gcs
1 x 12%fhr Cold Gc
Then rest of slots filled with whatever Life+Mana Sc's I can get

Then in stash have;

8 or 9 ES Staff
CoH
20/-20 Monarch
35%fcr Spirit
Ravens
Dwarfs
160% Lres Monarch
160% Fres Monarch
160% Cres Monarch

With these items should I go for max block? I want the best sorce possible as it will be my main PvP character

nono, either max or nothing. i strongly suggest spirit-route with blockswitch in stash (using whitstans, stormshield isn't worth it)

haha fucker


on my meleechars i always found es-sorcs with whitstans the hardest. just use shadowdancers, rings with +dex, amu with +dex, helm with +dex and make sure you got enough fcr and at least 86% fhr. shael whitstans is never a bad idea but if you really dont wanna waste dex you can always ko it. the whole point with a blockswitch is to never use it until you really need or really want to win a 1v1. using inferior gear (i.e. no block vs melee) forces you to play better so you'll improve faster.
