You dont need resistances for ES build bucause you resistances do not go into calculation of elemntal dmg to mana, so nn mara, the only res that is needed is poison and psn length reduced.

Yeah, until you step into the wrong cow portal and get smoked

You are such a noob

Imagine being so bad at the game you die to cows with a fully built character.

Again this is a SC build.

I would choose viper+2/10 ammy. It's easier to find a 2/10 ammy with better mods and mdr on viper works too.

60fhr is enough , full ES mean less possibility to get in recovery animation.
But some monster's speical attack will get you in fhr such as Urdar's stun attack and claw viper's charge attack.
You need to take an eyes on them.

Death is an eventuality. When you move on to Hardcore, as you should have years ago, lmk

I read on a forum that you need 86fhr and 105 fcr to not get in recovery animation.

well, that's not how fhr work.

Higher life and less damage to avoid animation and higher fhr to shorten.

1 cold mastery
1 frozen armor

is mandatory

After gear and cta they are bumped into the +15 range.

The pierce of cold mastery on Hell will freeze a mob for a little over 1 second, which is ridiculous DR when you get caught in fucked up situations

Like stepping into world stone 3 with amp and death lords banging on you during loading screen, etc

On an ES sorceress, you won’t be put into fhr animation ever unless you get hit by things that specifically can stun you sick as Urdars.




I’ve never died in pvm with a built character. And never used stormshield. Pvm is so easy. It’s amazing how you hardcore people even die. Especially when you turtle up. Just shows how bad you guys are.

95% ES sorc wirj merc holding insight is one of the tankiesf builds around. There is absolutely no need to gimp your damage by 200-300% so you can use stormshield. You will end up taking more damage overtime by using stormshield simply because monsters are alive longer. Congrats. Using stormshield not only makes you take more damage, but do less damage.

Smh.
