maxing order for ES/FO sorc

[Teh ub3r 7uck3r]

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.

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.
