hello

any advice on a hybrid blizzard sorc for pvp in terms of allocation between mana\vit & skill tree ?
been a while since i played pvp and i have several classes i received from a friend that quit.
since both my amulet and circlet have really good +life ( along with mana ) i want a hybrid build and not full es.

my current items -
2\20\life\mana\@res circlet
2\10\str\life\mana\mana reg amulet
enigma
spirit 35
death fathom
arach
dual soj's
crafted mana boots
frosts
scs - several 20\17's and several 19\17's and a few 19life\4@res
7 cold skillers varies between 41 to 43 life
1 cold skiller 12 fhr

appreciate any help

Ur build seems fine.
Stash: Death gloves and snake cord for plr/psn stack. U Can also have PLR in decent ammus and sands/plr+pr boots.

Balancing depends on your build. Make sure you have solid res/mdr/dr/plr etc... Then you dont need massive life.

I would say 1500++ life + as much mana as possible.

Make sure you have strings setup for DR, COH for res stack, etc.
Fire sorcs are better at this, due to 40fcr main wepon.

An ideal build would be something like this:
DF / Doom + Spirit 35
Cta + spirit 35
COH / Enigma
2sorc/20fcr/str/mana
Diadem: 2sorc/20fcr/30frw/str/mana/cham + 5/5
10fcr/str/mana/repl or life/@/plr ring / Soj when arach
soj
Frosts/death gloves
Strings / arach
30frw/10fhr/plr/5%max/mana/pr boots

Ur DR setup would then be 23% DR with strings, and the MDR will help as well. Meanwhile ur arach setup stacks more damage and mana due to soj/arach combi.
You would usually still be forced to put 20 skills to tk, if not 20 tk its time to balance for more life on the cost of mana.

Such builds are more ideal on FB, can then implement whistan max block setup in combi with viper and plr.

Well blizz is fine. Its my favourite sorc.
Its just Harder to dress it for all.
Main focus should be damage, then add on whatever survivability availeble.
Its defently a big bonus if u survives more than 1 good wirl from a barb as an example.
