No, you really have no idea what you're talking about.
Especially in svs, anything over 4k mana won't help. Mana dies in 2 fbs, the point is to run and regen.
This is the major misconception: mana isn't an es sorc's life, it protects the es sorc's life. You die when life runs out, not mana. Therefore, es % and replenish life are more important stats than having more mana, especially when you're already at 4k+.
ps, my sorc has over 4k mana easily, and uses all facets.
you have bmanas on west. the best we have is 20/17's 10 of those and a 200%es fb gets about is 3.7 with esc and 3.8 with hoto.
being as that i'm mainly a cold vs cold dueler in priv games. your mana doesn't die in 2 hits vs them. a blizz sorc, a iceblast sorc. no thank you. dmg isn't high enough even with 9gcs.
i do duel other types of sorcs so dont go all. zomg you dont duel other types of sorcs. ~~NOOB~~.
especially sence ths has turned into a bashing fest instead of accually criticizm or strat....
but yes vs fire sorcs its about 4-5 hits and ther egoes the mana.
and vs lit sorcs its about 2-3 yes. (vita that is, es is around 37k dmg so its about a good 3-4)
really dont see the point in usen all facets. especially on a fb sorc. unless your going to go pubbing with it and want to lower someones total resistance sence most people dont stack vs fire........
i mean really if your going to use it for pure svs then you dont really need to lower someones resistance... the 5% to dmg i guess is nice but the needed stre to toss on a ebug spirit is still 146.
even with a 20stre helm as well as a 30stre ammy. thats still alot of stre needed to pump in there. that you could. in your eyes pump into life............... or perhaps block?
i just love the bashing. i do however agree regn is just as important. but how well is regn going to work if say a fire sorc tops you and gets 2-3 firebolts to your face? and kills you. cant really regn when your dead.......
personally? i prefer the survivability as opposed to regn.
being able to tank 4-5 hits from a vita fb and 2-3 from a vita lit is pretty hawt imho.
Edit: so you use the spray and prey technique. in your duels.
get hit. keep running while spamming your fballs at them. hopen one lands. once your mana is sifficiant. go in try to get a hit. if you get hit. run away regn'n your mana while spamming fballs at them. go in try to land some hits. ect ect?
