At this point of you went pure cold for mf how come you're still wearing soe over arach?

Also this has inspired me to try a physical sorc. Will probably spec hybrid orb/melee until passion is obtained. What are your thoughts on ES for the melee sorcs? I don't know shit but I did see that several guides recommend it, altho many are aimed at pvp

i likely wanted the DR still, I will use arach when i get shako


As for the ES debate on melee sorc. always big debate:) once you are 80 all of your skills are maxed (chant/warmth/FM/LM) so... where do you put remaining points? shiver armour? maybe, but melee sorc tend to have low armour to try to increase. telekenesis seems like a smart choice.

I dont recommend investing many points into energy though. depending on build such as twtich with ias jewel and bloodfirst you hit your ias BP. so maybe you end up with 500-700 mana with bo. maybe a bit more. Or you can go full es with jewelers armour, chaméd. frostburn, 2 soj, arach and 5% mana boots =100% more mana. with full res from gear you can get 170 mana on life/mana charms. even drop from 9 skiller to 6, use more lifemana charms. close to 350 more mana on charms. mana on crafted neck, maybe 50 points in energy = 100 more mana. now with BO you can maybe hit close to 2k mana and 3k life. these are rough numbers and need more testing on my end. I dont think jewelers sorc should max block. but a twitch or GA sorc could do so with a safety neck. 30-35% increased chance on blocking =74% block shield, similar to whistans (hyperion or tower shield)

I think dracs should always be a choice as for gloves dual rfrost and highlords or you can go 1 rfrost and a ar craftd ring with highlords you shouldnt need dual angelics would be over kill on ar ive tryd both way for pvp and pvm but for pvm the way i suggestd it is the way i go

Unless using grief fort melee dmg is very low. Life tap is pointless your confuse will overwrite it. May as well stack leach at that point with blood rings and neck with big leach. Maybe dual leach ias gloves. COH also provides %ed and leach and skills
