I want to respec my sorc as chain lightning. My dilemma is I am a big fan of mana shield. I have the +9es memory staff so I could in theory get my mana shield around lvl 20-25 with 0 hard points.

Problem is, I'd have to sink points into telekinesis for the synergy.
Then I'm left wondering if I should put max points in energy or vitality ir a split.

As she sits now, I have a lvl 24 energy shield and it's absorbs 77% if I recall.

If I'm running infinity on my merc, I feel like I have to max out warmth for the mana regenerate but that sacrifices damage through less points in chain lighting synergies.

I could sacrifice my spirit monarch for a lidless wall shield and have +5 mana per kill, but then I'm losing res and vitality and mana and fcr. I'm ok losing some fcr as long as I maintain the 117% BP. This also let's me drop my str down a lot which would make yo for the vitality points

I don't let the meta builds for max damage with griffin and rfj in everything.

I'm gonna have to buy some respec tokens, lol. Gonna need some creativity

Max telekinesis
Get close to Es 95%
At lvl 98 u should only use like 3 hard points for 95%
I don't use memory I use a CTA staff 3 Es /3 chilling armor /3 thunderstorm

Use wizard spike dual soj frostiest and silkweave for mana after each kill and enigma for life steak after each kill so your leeching both mana and life after kill static 2x upon tele and 1 chain light clears room if u got -25 Griff and if u use crescent moon w dual fcr rings w wana it slaps everything even ubers aside from mephisto
