This Is The Max Block, Max Dam Reduce, Es Sorc. I Am Arguably One Of The Best Blizz Sorcs Ever On D2. This Is Not A Cheap Build.
My Blizz Sorc Char(s):
HumblingPowers
MoB_Humbling
NuB-SubZero
NuB-Remorse
FriggenHumbling
I Have Had Many Blizz Sorcs And This Is The Best Setup I've Found...At Least For Me.
FriggenHumbling Is Lvl 97, Has 2.5k Health, And 3.5k Mana. Dmg is 11.5k with my norm gear, can get up to 14k with ormus, 20/20 shield ect.
Stats:
80 Base Str
Enough Dex For Max Block With StormShield (Most People Ask How Much...But Just Add Into As You Lvl Since Block Goes Down Per Lvl. It's Not Hard)
Rest Vit
Base Energy
Skills:
Max Ice Bolt
Max Ice Blast
Max Blizz
Max Cold Mastery
Max Telek
1 Warmth
1 Tele Obviously
Any Extra In Glacial
Blizz Sorcs Are Never Really Finished Till Lvl 99, The Higher Lvl You Get, More Dmg You Do.
My Sorc Does Not Have The Es Skill, Just Use A Wand To Pre Cast.
And Since My Build Is Base Energy, Low Es % Will Be Fine, I Use 75%.
Gear:
Weapon:
Fathom (Facet'd)
Shield:
Storm Shield (Facet'd)
35% Fcr Spirit
20/-20 Facet Monarch
Tower Sanc
Helm:
NightWing (Facet'd)
Armor:
Bugged Tals (Facet'd)
20/-5 Blizz Ormus
Ammy:
Arm Fletch
Rings:
1x SoJs
1x Bone Master
Belt:
Arach
Gloves:
Magefists
Frosties
Boots:
Bitter Brouges
Backup Weap/Shield:
Cta Flail
Spirit
Grand Charms:
8x Cold Lifers
Small Charms:
13x 15/70's
Anni:
20/x/x
HellFire:
20/xx Sorc
A Wand With Lower Res Charges Is A Good Idea As Well
With The 20 Anni, 20 Hellfire, Bitter Brouges And Arm Fletch With 80 Base Str You Should Have Exactly 156 Str.
Now What Gear To Use And When:
For Most Situations I Use
Shield:
5/-5 Facet Storm Shield
Armor:
Bugged Tals
Gloves:
Frosties
Then The Rest Never Changes.
This Gear Is For Any Type Of Melee And Ele Druids Basically, Max Block And Max Dam Reduce tongue.gif
Overall Its My Fav Setup.
This Build Should Be Able To Tank 90% Of Barbs And Ele Druids. For Barbs Just Blizz Yourself And Cast Ice Blast. For Ele Druids Just Blizz Urself And If They Have Wolves Use Glacial Then Switch To Ice Blast.
Then For Just Casters Just Switch Up The StormShield For the 35% fcr Spirit To Hit 105 Fcr Break Point And A Little Extra Dmg.
If You Are Dueling An Absorbing Hammerdin Or Nec You Can Change Shield To 20/-20 Monarch And Armor To Blizz Ormus, Gloves To Magefists. Helps Lower Res + Gives Huge Dmg Bonus.
Versus Hammerdins Just Blizz Urself And Walk Downwards And Ice Blast, Hammers Will Never Hit If Your Smart.
Vs Stack Necros Use Glacial, Most Aren't a Prob Unless They Sorb.
For Ww Sins You May Want To But On Tower Sanc, Leaves You With Max Block And Max Psn Res. Also You May Wana Use Sanc Vs Fb Sorcs If You Have A Prob With Em And Use Hot Spurs.
I Wrote This Guide Under The Assumption That You Know How To Duel, Are Not A Newb And I Am Lazy To Go Into Detail. All A Good Dueler Needs To Know Is In Here. This Guide Is Just For The Build, Dueling Is Up To You.
