That's not really a flaw. This sorc can switch between shiver/chilling armor during a duel faster than the barb can react to it. Of course, this does mean it won't be prebuffed, but its nearly as powerful without it. Sometimes when fighting zons you have to do the same thing. I have yet to come against a barb that had a lacerator that could actually do anything to my sorc though. I've even killed straight up throwing barbs with my chilling armor. Very few have them to begin with. This build isn't "exactly" what existed for awhile now. It's a custom build that is quite different from what you are talking about. The energy shield approach is garbage.
Also, this is where orb comes in.
Energy shield is completely useless. I Tried a variation of this build with energy shield rather than vita/dr/mb etc. You can't get the cold damage high enough while also having high enough mana and defense. It just doesn't happen. And then you have no way to actually lure/attack people. That's just dumb.
Also I'm too lazy to actually post up a youtube vid. Also I probably dont have the right tools for it. Someone else should make this character and do it. Such a video would have a lot of potential.
1 point thunderstorm will lure them in pubs enough even if its not boosted
and 20/30's are hella rare...
i tried getting a set of them and they extreamly hard to get a hold of unless you overpay.. ;/
