1. 1.5 3-20-20s or so
2. item doesnt exist so zero
3. 1-1.5 3-20-20s
4. not sure, i think 5 soj go for a 3-20-20
5. not sure again... i think 1-6 3-20-20s based on the + to bo

[HiddenFighter]

well for the gear i would do

coh

perfect sanctuatry

shako

magefists

2 sojs

death fathom

soul spurs

arachnids mesh

maras

10x cold gc's

[Foog]

i would use frostburns, the 40% mana is needed to save some energy poiunts to go to vit...and lidless over sanctuary.

first of all.. orb isnt supposed to be pvp, its horrible.. but watever u want. if u want pvp tho y r u socketing things with ums lum and cham?? socket everything with a 5/5 cold facet... and try to get fathom if u can its really expensive.. if not get hoto instead of occy bcuz of fcr and resist.

[knight_ofdoom]

pvp orb sorcs are very good if your orb does at least 1.2k and u have alot of res and faster cast rate

Orb is so low dmg from before that 5/5 facets aint really more valuble than the runes.
Cham is for the cannot be frozen effect, wich is very important.
Yes, am considering a HotO.

Silver_Ice: Dont ormus 3+ cold mastery exist? :

Notes:

Arkaine's Valor It gives either +1 To All Skills or +2 To All Skills.
Ormus' Robes: Most skills except Fire Mastery, Hydra, Lightning Mastery, Frozen Orb, and Cold Mastery


an orb sorc needs speed more then pretty much any stat

[knight_ofdoom]

the +3 skill on a ormus is only skill lvl 24 or less not lvl 30 and mastery is lvl 30.

How is it possible that i never noticed that note...
I use arreat summit as by base for statements..:

Anyway, thnx for informing me. I shall shift to a CoH Archon plate. (Good?)

[knight_ofdoom]

ya coh or umed vipermage ( for fcr )

[A|fzZz]

dun use the lidless..use a 5/5die cold facets in a 4 soc monarch..or a sanc...
i rather use a upped magefist IMO...and use a hoto...
why use shako?Use a perfect nightwings with a 5/5 cold die in it...
a death fanthom could do...socketed with 5/5 cold die too..
up to u...whether u want hoto or death..

[Silver Ice]

dont use coh... orb sorces need to be fast to be effective (ive yet to meet an effective one)

[A|fzZz]

so what armour do u propose?
btw...how come rest to energy?Do not place points in energy...place all in vit...IMO..

Mana Renegation
More Mana
Energy Shield

[Escaron]

I would suggest to use doom runeword. Highest gives -60% to enemy cold res, 2 to skills, and holy freeze to slow down enemies.

a 15%/15% cold light thunderstorm ormus might be useful.... if not try perf umed vipermagi...

and escaron... doom is nice but its very slow.. u could test if -60% cold resist or 35/5% cold dmg does more dmg in the long run.

[Keitaro]

I traded some items today, so my sorc at this time has:

Shako with cham
Hoto 34%
Ormus 14% cold 13% fire/lightning +3 tunderstorm
Sanctuary troll nest
Magefirst
Bugged siggards
etheral sandstorm trek 15 strenght
perfect maras
2x soj

on switch:
CtA 4 BC, 1 BO
Lidless with p.dimond

11 5% resist all with some bonuses
rest is random charms

She survived a hammer with 14k dmg.:

[Flood-man]

ok im makin one so ill just tell u wut ima use:

2 soj, 3cold ammy with 15 res i think, 15 cold ormus( 15 % cold skill dmg adds more damage the 2 xtra skill points and u can also add a facit), night wing im amin 4 a 13+ clean, fathom, ss or lidless ( i think ima use ss 4 dmg reduction), 10 cold gcs, frost burns she will do 1450 dmg wif like 200 pierce

[Silver Ice]

your gonna move slow with only 40% faster cast
