Just tried es build, total let down. the damage sucks, and you gotta prebuff every time you go to a new game or die.
Or in regular intervals tp back to town, switch out your 9 lightning charms and es, then switch them all back again.
Taxing on inventory and time. The damage you dish out will still be significantly less than pure vita even if you go the max prebuff route rather than a lot of hard points in es.
Nor is ES reliable. You're tanking fine for the most part then some monster with mana burn comes around and 1 second later you're dead. 
Pure vita > ES imo. Simpler, faster, and more powerful. I've died less and killed far faster on my vita.
Nothing against the guide though, still the most comprehensive I've read on the matter.

why isn't 30 frw a staple stat on the boots? if you're choosing to use enigma, then definitely take full advantage of it by stacking more frw.

i'd consider reading if it wasn't centered. only bags of douche center their text.

I prefer having high res/life rep instead of frw on my boots, but frw is very nice too.



I don't care about you, random.

how do you utilise frw? do you use it enough? i love the rep life mod and all on boots, but I don't think it's even comparable to frw, my sorcs typically have 60-85 frw and i'd go for 105 with enigma.

Yes, well, I made a mistake putting "frw" on 2nd choice, it's as good as the rest, but you can survive with enigma only.

i guess thats true 45 is fine vs most, you can avoid needing it a lot of the time simply by avoiding a namelock.
