question ormus sorc users - rice4lyfe - 02-04-2007
hi everyone i got a questions, for those of u sorcs who uses the ormus robe as their armor, how do u keep up ur reisist?
do u use spirit for shield or sanctuary for shield? If you use spirit u have to sacrifice a lot of str to use the shield, but if u use sanctuary, do u think its worth it to get max block?? i need help? is it worth it for a sorc to get max block anyways?
so yeah mainly i got 2 questions
1. how do u keep up ur resist with ormus
2. is it worth it for sorcs to get max block?

2. You can do it, but I'd say that it's a waste of DEX. Spirit is hands down the best shield for a Sorc, but if you want to get max block, you will need to go for either Whitstan's or Stormshield.

hey, nice talking to u again
anyways, I was really planning to use ormus instead of coh for my main armor, but when i use ormus, i won't have enough resist, so i thought id use spirit or sanctuary. Which shield do u think is better to cover up the rest of the resist? If i were to not have block at all, is it worth it to sacrifice str to use spirit or should i just use sanctuary?
if i were to have block, is it a good combo with ormus?? i mean does whinstons have reist? lol

hahha, ur fast at replying, i should talk to u on AIM or something,
i have a orb/blizz sorc, and all my stats are on vitality right now, im doing a gear remake on my sorc and my gear is:
helm: 3/20/2 with 2x cold facets
ammy: switching from wcollar to mara's constantly, dunno which one to use
rings: 2x sojs
belt: spiders
boots: imps
gloves: trangs
armor: dusk coh atm - soon to change to blizz ormus
shield: cold facet lidless - decided on a shield to keep up the resist with ormus
question ormus sorc users - hellsing293 - 02-04-2007
Is ormus even worth it? You can't do that much more damage with ormus over coh because you skill got the +2 skills. I say just keep coh as it's better. Also, try getting some all res scs.

rice4lyfe Wrote:hahha, ur fast at replying, i should talk to u on AIM or something,You're a little wrong on this one. You need to hit 105%FCR, otherwise there's no use in doing PvP. Blizz sorcs are not good for ES, so I'd go for a full VIT build.

If I were you, this is what I'd do:
Helm: 3/20/2
Amu: don't know dupes on your realm, but go for +2 sorc 10%fcr +stats
Weapon: DF
Shield: Spirit 35%FCR
Gloves: Trang's
Armor: CoH
Boots: Treks
Belt: Arach
Rings: SoJs
Anni, torch, 9x Cold GCs, 3xSC 5%FHR/+5@
With this gear you hit the 105%FCR breakpoint:
20 Circlet
10 Amu
20 Gloves
20 Belt
35 Shield
And 86%FHR breakpoint:
55% Spirit
20% Treks
3x5% from SCs
It's a little bit of a glass canno n build, but all cold sorcs are. I could recommend using 2xBer in Circlet instead of facets, but it's personal preference.

so blizz sorcs are no good for ES? im not full blizz, im orb/blizz, im more orb than blizz, but ES is not good?

rice4lyfe Wrote:so blizz sorcs are no good for ES? im not full blizz, im orb/blizz, im more orb than blizz, but ES is not good?ES is good for full Orb sorcs. All Blizz sorcs have 1 point in Orb for the finishing move. Blizz sorcs are glass cannons, so you should either go for max Blizzard or none at all.

ic, so the idea of a hybrid cold sorc of orb/blizz where i max out all orb and the remaining skills on blizz and synergies is not a really good idea afterall??
I might need to remake my sorc into a full bizz sorc, but i have a question, if i want to use spirit shield, is it possible to not touch str at all and get enough str to use the spirit? Im guessing ill be needing str charms? u said up there "a full vit sorc" and use spirit?

Im guessing ill be needing str charms? u said up there "a full vit sorc" and use spirit?It *could* be possible, however not the way to go. STR charms are a waste of space, it's a better option to just put a few points into STR. For your Cold sorc, with sexy gear, ~50 would be a good base number.
Full VIT sorc means that all remaining points go into VIT, not ENE.
