"Her life/mana count is as effective as if she had 6.3k life straight
(4k mana x 1.25 = 5k life from mana (maxed telek) + 1.3k life)"

This isnt how it works, at least not in duels vs elemental chars, because resist of es works at 0.
So one 20k fireball will eat away like 3k mana, instead of 750 life it would take from someone with 75 resist.

You also stated you are using a 5/-5 jewel in your circlet.
This is utterly useless since the dmg boost will be close to zero if you add this to lightning mastery.


Circlet came like that... And no... It roughly takes 4-5 20k fireballs to kill a sorc built that way.. more than what's needed to kill any non-sorbing vita lighter... And your mana regens quite fast unless you suck enough to be stuck in the fireballs until you die...

4k mana with 20 tk and 1.3k life will not allow you to tank 4-5 fireballs, I dont understand where u get that information from.

(4000 x 1.25) / ~3000 fireball dmg after pvp penalty = 1.667 fireball and your mana is gone
I dont see how you were able to tank 4-5 fireballs straight.

Good 105 fcr fb sorcs can get you in a fhr lock if you use the 86 fhr bp, and vs 200 fcr fb its just bye bye.

hmm, so if you build this sorc, and want to run baal, you first have to prebuff ES and then you can go? thats way too much work.

Nop... 83-85% ES is way enough to baal... only prebuff when dueling

I posted this on the main forum, but it concerns your guide so I guess I'll post it here too :X

Okay, here's where I'm confused. "Faq (at first I thought it said fag =O!) to the energy shield" (es guide) states the following:


"Introduction
This small FAQ gives answers to all relevant knowledge needed to understand Energy Shield and its synergy Telekinesis.

Q: What does telekinesis do for energy shield?
A: Energy shield takes 2 points of mana for every point of life it absorbs. Each point you spend in telekinesis reduces this by 0,0625 point. This means that after 16 points you’re only losing half the mana compared to zero points, or one mana per absorbed life. At 20 points you’re only losing 0,75 mana per absorbed hit point.

Q: So if you get a level 32 telekinesis you’re losing no mana through energy shield?
A: No, it only works with actual invested points, so level 20 (1:0,75) is the limit."

However...

In Undying's guide to an ES Lightning sorc, he has the skills like so:


...
Lightning

20 Telekinesis
20 Lightning
20 Lightning Mastery
20 Chain Lightning
20 Charged Bolt
1 Nova
1 Thunder Storm
1 Static Field
1 Energy Shield

With gear, you'll get about a level 44 Telekenisis. Isn't that useless? Why would you put 20 skills into telekinesis to make it around 44 with gear if at 20 it ceases to be effective?

:S! Help please!

the more sks @ telekinesis , the better lol

if u got 44 sks @ tk u get only the half dmg @ es (mana) as with lvl22 tk thats the only reason a light sorc is good , too

without this bonus @ surviving , light sorc = crap

Lol thx for making my day, especially the part "thats the only reason a light sorc is good" was fun. I really hope ur trolling...

In fact, telekinesis works as a synergy for es, so only the skills you actually click in them will have effect.
This is why 20 is max.

Yeah 20 is the max... skills from items wont stack as synergies

And Kitty... you can't arrange this... only the skills that you really put in will work as synergies... If you put one and it raises to 20.. it wont work
