nope because vita sorcs tend to have maxed resistances and much higher HP
but CS is a huuuuuuge boon against ES sorcs, don't underwrite that. A single shot drains 4000+ mana if all bolts connect.
And the formula for mana regen is 1/120 of their max mana per second, multiplied by % mana regen (ie +300% = 4x), so its easy enough to figure out


but yes, ES sorcs will nullify damage by going offscreen for a few seconds. Thats what ES sorcs do. And thats how they win their duels- by trading blows and keeping their mana up and being defensive.
and lots of chars, like bone necros, struggle against that.

But guided arrow is actually the real champ here. In fact, all the damach zons skills are especially good at raping ES sorcs. But heres the thing
ES sorcs win duels by retreating before their mana is broken, and because of ES you can't throw them into FHR via damage to stop them from teleporting away when low- unlike a bone necro holding down spear on a sucker and immobilizing them as they die

But guided arrow has a built in 50% fhr chance due to knockback, and thats what rapes the ES sorcs here. Its very, very easy to chain enough hits in a row to cripple a sorc or outright kill her
ES sorcs often lack FHR entirely, something ridiculous like 10-15 frames for FHR. Add on 6-9 frames for blocking, its very easy to pin down a sorc under a stream of garrows.
So when it rains, its pours. Unlike bone spears, a sorc can't just teleport away and regen- garrows will pin them down and keep interrupting their casts.
Often they'll get away, and thats like. Sometimes they wont. Against me, they'll probably have to deal with chainlocked tele/ga abuse.


But lets face it. CS kills es sorcs in 1 telestomp, I've seen plague clouds 1-hit-kill es sorcs (not just drain them to 1, but kill them in the same cloud), and garrow pins em down. Fury ain't shabby either but you won't win with it alone, since fireball is stronger

A sorc with a spirit setup dies instantly to a zon, you know

Sorcs should ALWAYS have 86 fhr, be it nb or mb sorc

doesn't really matter one way or the other, sorcs still get locked hard from fhr/fbr even at the highest bps
but a spirit sorc against a zon is like an IK barb trying to duel a viving bone necro, its not even a duel

Well speaking from experience when you got a well buffed sorc to 1 hp and she has some mdr from viper/bt u can't kill her..

6000 cs on my zon, 1 k after pvp, 250 after 75 res *0,05 for es = 12,5, mdr checks in and fucking heal them. Same for ga, you must actually drain all their mana! At once else she repls so saying they're easy damn no ^^

e: and all cs hits doesn't connect
