1) Whats es? Why es?

Es is Energy shield. It's a lightning spell that absorbs damage and deals the damage in mana instead of life. Es's synergies are: telekinesis, it makes Es more efficient by taking away less mana when u take damage. Es makes you sorc take hits, they are very good in pvp and dont require expensive gear to make.

2) Stats

Strength: enough for gear around 50-110 (if ur gonna use spirit)
Dexterity: none, unless u want max block
Vitality: Enough to reach around 1k-1.5k life with bo
Energy: Your main focus all should go here.

Life: 500-1k w/o bo, 1k-1.5k w/ bo
Mana: 2k or more w/ bo

3) Skills

20 FireBall: You main attack
20 FireBolt: Synergie for fireball, secondary attack
20 Meteor: Synergie for fireball, great for tging and nking
20 Telekinesis: Synergie for Energy shield (es), makes es more efficient
1 Energy shield: your skill Zzz*
1 Teleport: Zzzzzzz
1 Warmth: mana regeneration
1 to any prerequisite
Rest into Fire Mastery

*you only need 1 point in es because you gear should bring it up to 75% absorb and you should always prebuff with a 9es memory.

4) Gear

Chains of Honor (CoH, Dol Um Ber Ist): Skills, str, and gg res. Great choice. Makes life easier to use spirit from the 20 str bonus and it's great for stacking other sorcs and if your rich u can get an ebugged one with more def. I recommend u use Magefists with coh.

Vipermagi: skills, fcr, res. Great choice. it has an extra socket for shaels, jahs, surs, and crap. it has 30 fcr with is good for obtaining 200fcr. this armor is also quite cheap. i recommend using this armor with Frostburns.
Price: 2sojs or less

Wizzy armor: fcr, MANA, RES. this would be a godly choice but there are no permed ones so u have to perm them or they poof. and they are expensive.

5) Frames

Read this section of the forums...http://www.blizzsector.co/sorceress-...er-guides.html try to shoot for 105 fcr and 86 fhr.

6) Strategy

Druid:

Wind druid: 90% of the druids in pk games are wind druids so i wont list any other tactics for other types cuz you'll know what to do. when fighting druids keep ur distance and spam fireball towards them, it should take about 1 fball to kill wolves/bear and such, after his pets are gone, a good one will usually run away and resummon, its safe to get close and fball his ass. most druids will try to tele on u, if they go on the offensive, so amke sure u stay to the bottom of the druid at all times because when they tele on u they tele on the northern part of ur char and if u keep spamming to the north ull kill him. i find druids quite easy...
Rank: easy medium

Sorceress:

Blizzard sorcs: these will take about 2-4 hits to kill u but it will happen fast. when dueling these bastards try to circle them in teleport, DONT FOLLOW THEM cuz if u do they can easily cast blizz in thiere trail and kill u. when they are in ur little circle just spam in there direction, if they miss with blizz tele close and namelock them, if u have ur keys set right chain lock them when they tele away. so pretty much just circle and spam them.
Rank: medium

Light sorcs: they are slow versions of you. keep your distance, and spam away. you can also shoot to them from the south and tele on them so ur right away on the north then shoot down that works well. light sorcs cast rate is much slower than your fireball cast rate so u can just out speed them.
Rank: easy

Fire sorcs: Depends on strategy. shoot to them from the south and tele on them so ur right away on the north of them then shoot down. keep ur distance spam towards them tele away if they try to follow they hit iFB. hotspurs. AA.
Rank: medium

Paladin:

Smiter: pain in the ass. they can just charge u to death or just throw on salvation and take 5 more fballs. so keep ur distance and spam in their direction. dont get close to them or ur dead.
Rank: Medium hard

FoH: tele on them shoot in down at them if u miss them around 3 fireballs tele far away till u dont see them on ur map so they dont namelock u. if they hit ur 2-3 times ur dead so u have to be fast. 50% of them time i lose to fohers.
Rank: Hard

Hdin (teleport): dont get too close them and spam away. if they tele on ur shoot the the north then they are gone.
Rank: easy

Hdin (charge): same as a smiter... if they charge u just shoot in the direction u know they are gonna come at.
Rank: Medium

Zealers: u rarely see these anymore. same as smiter.
Rank: medium

Barbarian:

BvC: another pain in the ass. they can leap, they can tele, if ur fighting an experienced one, u dont stand a chance. if ur fighting a dumbone let him ww u once to see his dmg on u if he does alot spam towards him, if u barly makes it through ur mana u can just tank him. but other than that bvcs are harder than hell and u should just keep u distance.
Rank: your weakness

BvB: he will run around in circles around u and then ww through u. when he starts his ww tele behind him in the direction hes going and fball his ass.
Rank: easy

Necromancer:

Bone: if he uses spear just teleport on him and end his life, if he uses spirit get close spam in his direction, if he teleports away, just get close again if he teleports on u hes dead.
Rank: Medium easy

Poison: they are actually quite difficult. keep ur distance and spam in his way. if he hits u once with psn nova+lower res ur life will drop FAST and his golem could kill u. so keep ur distance and spam.
Rank: Medium hard

Amazon:

Bowzon: still a very good opponent, tele around him then tele on him and fire down. if u know his tactic such as moving afound throwing spears then find cover in a corner and as soon as he get close or is focused on pinning u down tele on or near and spam fball. these whores are still hard as hell.
Rank: medium hard

FC zon: ur dead, gg, press esc and exit. or just tele on them and spam hopfully u killed them. ive never really tryed to sorb anyone on my es sorc so i dont no how it would affect ur mana and crap when u take dmg.
Rank: very hard

CSzon: get them in ur sight but not to close and fireball their ass. if they light fury then just be alittle more carfull.
Rank: easy

Assassin:

Ghost: hard one imo worse than bvc but same tactic.
Rank: Hard

wwsin: same as bvc, thier psn is deadly, aviod being hit, if u get hit they can mb u to death.
Rank: Hard

Trapper: spam in their direction. if they get close they will die if ur fast on the name locking. but never get close to them or you will die.
Rank: Medium Hard

Good luck to all u future es/fbers

Cooll but its boring to read add color some pics or something different sizes

[GyuForce]

now its very pretty =D

[FraterPerdurabo]

Not very good. Try to beef it up a little and I'll sticky it. It's not bad, but there are better ones around.

[ArcaneSupremacy]

If you plan on using ES at all, then you'll need a lot more mana than that. 2K is unacceptable. 3K is still pushing it.

Oh yeah, try using some other combinations of colors. Switching back and forth between bright primary colors makes it rather hard to read.

agreed, imo even tho color makes it look nicer, it loses some of its appeal because if the color hurts the readers eyes, they wont read it.
