I don't think es/vita blizz sorces are that good in my opinion....
surely, it cannot truly fit the fact that this is a char that can svs very well...since IMO' any decent FB sorc has a lot of stack and will easily FHR lock you due to having such minimum es %/mana...Can it play very well against bvc,druids,hdins? Doutbful, by any means if you stick with this build/same gear at all times , you get minimum DR/no chance to sorb/nor to stack truly against other elemental (es for that matter...)
I don't think this build has any advantage at all, sure the word hybrid is being thrown out as some sort that it gives you the right to mana potting therefore it gives you the illusion that you can ''tank''....
Say we take the popular duelers's chars:
BVC,Ghost,Trapper,Nec,Nado Druids,Hdins,Vt,Smiters,WW sins,Cs zons, Bowa zons....
in which of these chars do you truly have the adv?
IMO' going 90+% es is the way to go..you perhaps lose 2k less damage, but atleast you tank more and won't get fhr locked that easily. + For bmanas, you can get unperm ones at 10 a pop on East even less sometimes...
To me going half mana/half vita gets you crippled. The fact that you lose the adv to sorb/dr/stacl/switch gears and you cannot truly tank at all with the es/gotta rely on mana pots. IMO Go either all vita or all mana in these situations.
1. I rarely get locked by FB sorcs. In fact, FB sorcs are some of my easiest opponents.
2. This build does fine with one or two set ups. That's part of the reason she's so great. But your point is valid. In my revised version I will add a section for different set ups as opposed to the examples I suggested based on affordability.
3. Actually, 16 mana pots can get you through a lot. Hits hit hard and drain mana and life. A fireball does 200 damage to me. It does about 600 to my mana. Boom, 1 pot you're golden.
4. 90% ES is a different build which requires minimal resistance and no points in vitality. That is not what this build is about. If you do your homework you will see there is a strong relation between Telekinesis, life, and mana. The 90% ES sorc and my 70% ES sorc are two completely different ballgames.
5. Actually, splitting the life/mana ratio makes it very hard to stun lock you. That's why I repeat throughout the guide how important 86% FHR is.
6. She's pretty stacked as is. Only missing DR. But DR isn't applied to mana. I can take a full BvC whirlwind and then some.
Thank you.
