when I said vita sorc can tank against 11-12 balls, thats when vita sorc has 5k2 life, not the 3k8-4k. With 3k8-4k life, its only 7. (~22k dmg fire balls)
- You decide to build vita sorc, you have higher advantage in tanking in SvS duel, but still have chance to lose, if you cant have a chance to end es sorc in 1 stomp, and let she trade hit. Against other class, you're weak, you lose the strongest ability of fire sorc, you cant tank against any class even with 5k2 life, and cant trade hit too because your dmg after res+abs is not high, and you cant regen. Even a bone Nec can win you, while with Es sorc, its like an auto win even Nec allowed to use hot spur. Thats a bad choice to build a vita sorc.
- Blizz sorc is another story, its like a glass canon build for sorc. Her skill point not enough to spend on Es and synergy. She sacrifies her hit trading ability to have huge dmg and res pierce. Thats a worthy sacrifice.
- Vita fire sorc sacrifies hit trading ability to have a bit higher life, but her dmg is still medium after res and abs, makes her weak against all other classes, not worthy at all.
So as I said, I will use obsession staff with es mana set up only against windy druid or trapsin, since oak die to fast & ez to be useful against those 2. 25% max life from staff will be good in these duels. Against other classes, I prefer hoto/spirit for rep life, mana, oak.
5.2k life is not just “a bit more” life than ES sorcs who max out at 2k life, it’s A LOT more, and it’s even a LOT more than what previous Vita sorcs could achieve. 10-11 FB hits is a LOT of hits. A good stomp will regularly hit at least 4-5 or more Fbs at once if you stack FB shots before the stomp, which means as a ES sorc you’re dead.
But when you say “even bone nec”, you’re forgetting that bone necs are one of the top classes in pvp. ES destroys necs but that’s it. ES dies very fast to all elemental damage - including trappers / hybrid sins, also top tier pvp classes. Vita is better vs sins than ES.
And you keep saying there’s a chance for ES to win vs vita - yet only one or two ESFB sorcs ever made it to the top of the ladder - all others were vita FB and vita Lightning.
With all that, ES is obviously better for SvA, no one is arguing otherwise. It’s a great tanky skill that works well in a lot of situations. I’m comparing vita 105 fber vs vita 200svs fber and asking if the huge life difference would make it viable in an otherwise poor matchup between fbers in svs.
Just remember that 25% life doesn’t add much when your base life as ES sorc is like 1-1.5k. You’re better off going with a MB shield setup or max mana setup depending on your ES %
