how about this:

circ: 3light/20fcr/2*shaels
amu: 3light/10fcr
weapon: low req infi
armor: viper shaeld or 7fhr/30single resi pvp
gloves: frostburn
rings: 2*soj
belt: arach
boots: nice triple resi boots with fhr


78fcr bp, and nice fhr with the right number or fhr scs

or mages/trangs + 2sorc/light 15fcr amu for 105fcr bp



what about the resi thing - resi aint that important with es ? never heard that one b4 and its not my first sorc for sure

when you use 95% es, you don't need resists that much since resists dont effect the damage that goes to your mana, you don't have to worry about it so much. minimal damage is going to your life and so resists are nice but not something to be concentrated on. also fhr is pointless since you only need fhr when 1/12 of your life is taken out. more than likely that's not going to happen either.

hmm so i should concentrate on what mainly ?

i think ill got fir 105fcr then.

so 3light/20fcr/2sox circ what sox ? 2*P ruby ?!
2light/2sorc/15fcr (life/mana) adds amu
infi
viper what sox ?
mages low str req
2*sojs maybe 1*fcr ring and 17fcr amu to hit the 117fcr bp
arach
mana boots


what should i look for ? how many resis ? absorb ?! life repl ?

i dont know what to search for since resis and fhr aint that important

thx for ur help

oh and i dont have a fletch on europe ... fletch is an ez way to go for every sorc ofc

hmm i thought about it:

3light/20fcr/2*shael edit: or 1*5/-5 die facet for the die effect when i get killed
2light/2sorc/18fcr/16+str
infi
ormus with -15req adds jewel
frosts
2*soj
arach
mana boots (maybe fhr/pois res)

thats what i like most right now - but im still not sure about it

you wanna hit 117 fcr on a light sorc since 105 only affects teleing if you only hit that. however, i would suggest using griffs over a 3/20/2 for the extra -res and fcr if anything. however, if you want to use a 3/20/2, i would socket it with 2x sur runes for more mana. as for being on europe and getting the right ammy, i'm not sure if you have any 20fcr sorc ammies out there. if you do, use that. otherwise go with one that has at some sort of fcr that will complement your build.

ok i think i stay with my build i listed above - but i still dont get whats best for es. i know theres an es guide out there but it doesnt help me out.

1. dmg to mana is shit since last patch ?!
2. repl life already works before 11/12 of ur life is gone ?!
3. is +dmg really effective ?
4. why do u think 2.5k mana is good enough ? more mana = longer life ?!
5. 20fhr is enough vs casters ?!
6. try to achieve 86fhr vs barb, pala, pois nec etc ?!


i know many questions - but i read a lot about it and tried it out (i got a light sorc with hoto + spirit 117fcr) and im still not sure about it



thx for help whoever knows what im asking for

uppy - just saw a nice amu with dmg to mana. is it really uninteresting for es sorc ?

Should i put a shael on vipermage ?

fhr isnt too necessary unless you anticipate getting more than 1/12 of your life out at a time. for me that's more than 125 life which doesnt happen often.



1. damage to mana means that when you get hit the damage taken out of your life goes to your mana and replenishes it. it does work, but not incredibly well
2. life replenish is good to have at any point
3. +% damage on a lite sorc is not as effective as +skills
4. the more mana the better. 2.5k is a good amount, more is even better though.
5. 20fhr is good enough vs anything that won't take out more than 1/12 your life in one hit
6. fhr is not necessary vs psn necros, vs pallies and barbs it might be.

fhr is good to have....
