maxing order for ES/FO sorc - Teh ub3r 7uck3r - 02-24-2005

My skill layout:

20 icebolt
20 frozen orb
20 energy shield
20 telekinesis
9 cold mastery
1 static
1 warmth
prerequisites

I have a level 36 wand with 75 charges of lower resist on my switch to break Cold Immunity.

My question is: What order do I max these, and how should i put the points into them as I level?

This is what I'd do.

Level Icebolt until you are able to get Telekenesis. 1 point in that. Then continue dumping points until you are able to use Energy Shield. Put 1 in Orb and start maxing Energy Shield. Then start maxing Telekenesis, then finish off Ice Bolt and Orb. Rest into Cold Mastery. Oh, I almost forgot. 1 in Warmth (duh!). Static is nice if you PvM a lot.

I would set the skill this way:
Level1-5(exstra skill from Evil Den)
1 Warmth
1 Ice Bolt
1 Frozen Armor
1 Charged Bolt

Level 6-11
1 Ice Blast
1 Frost Nova
1 Static Field
1 Telekinesis

Level12-17(skill from Radament)
1 Shiver Armor
1 Lightning

Level 18-23(skill from Izzual)
1 Teleport
1 Glacial Spike
1 Chain Lightning

Level 24-29
1 Blizzard
1 Energy Shield

Level 30-52
20 Frozen Orb
20 Cold Mastery

Level 52+
Max Telekinesis
Use the rest of the time to focus in Ice Bolt.


This is how i always done my FO/ES sorc, and they get quite the power. Hope this helped you.

Thats not true.
Points into telekinesis make you loose lesser mana that you would without.
The Arreat Summit Wrote:Each point in Telekinesis makes Energy Shield's damage absorption more effective. By default, for each point of damage absorbed by Energy Shield, 2 mana points are deducted - a 200% ratio. Each hard skill point in Telekinesis makes Energy Shield 6.25% more effective. For example, with 8 points in Telekinesis, 1.5 mana points are deducted for each point of damage absorbed - a 150% ratio. With 16 points in Telekinesis, one point of damage absorbed equals one point of mana loss - a 100% ratio.
