Vita?
Hybrid ES
95 es

I feel like the answer is hybrid, but the question is how much life. I feel like most will tell me to aim for 3k/3k with 7x ES, but wanted to see if d2r changed anything. 95 es probably isn't viable right?

it’s not really any different in d2r

95es isn’t viable because you have to sacrifice too much damage

if you level to 99, you’re able to cube buff for 85es/10k damage, which isn’t bad and i’d still stat some vit in this case for ~2k life

full damage/vit is usually the way to go with blizz. if you want an es sorc, esfb will always be the best choice

pre buff 95% es

Same ol same ol. I'd try less life more mana for ES. SvS, go vita.

Sorc is PvM besides SvS

then 200fc FB is bestest

this

was trying to make a vit blizz, then find out if Doom+50%DR+75Blk then Dam will less than 8K and res still shitty, paniced and stoped.

this. ES sorc most flexible for pvp, compared to vita.

Either you break their cr or you dont.
So you can be a glass canon and deal like 40 more damage vs those people who actually have gear to handle blizz with max possible res.
Or you can be a tank es build which deals 40 less damage to enemy compared to vita.
Thats the reality.

You can play around with numbers and see..
Damage * 0,17 * (1-(CR/100)) * (1-(ABS*2/100))

CR in this example is OFC the end result of enemy CR. Example: -100, +50, +5, +75.

I struggled to find good guides for this, but this is by far the best one

Vita build that uses oak, and shows diff setups for vsing diff classes


Dont make the mistake of using ES on a blizz sorc. Its the worst way to build blizz for pvp (none of the es builds use oak either, which is the strongest defensive skill for pvp)
