block animation not really mathers on immortal sozana, you wana look underdog

Yes, you can block in Diablo 2 while in a block animation. While you are locked in the animation (character stutter), you can still mitigate damage from further incoming attacks, though it can create a "block-lock" effect.

resist not apply to mana lose from energy shield, therefore you no need any

dr/mdr values are multiplied with 20 (95%es) and again bye 8 (pvp penalty) and again bye mdr-overflow (*3) when it comes to protecting life pool
increasing the effect of replenishlife




I had a dream this week! Perfect skulls instead of a insight in the barb vs sorc setup

I prefer army warlock. Eternity runeword + demon for fana + amp + revive act 3 urdars for crushing blow gg.

I just made this up but it does sound like it would work, because warlock is so strong you can kinda just do anything.

Immortal sorc is a PvP gimmick.

For PvM ES Nova self wielding infinity is best, with an a2 prayer Cure merc.

More on a budget you can go Crescent Moon and max block Whitstan with Sol. I like upping it, upping viper and getting a defiance merc with life leech.

For a non-ES build, stormshield max block is the best.

The above assumes HC. For SC it's either self-wield infi for nova or spirit shield for non-nova, as per usual.
