I take absolutely no credits OR responsibility for this guide. It was totally made by GSC from DiabloRealm. All credits goes to him.
Frozen Orb sorceresses have been regarded as one of the more popular Old school builds, and certainly the character that requires the most teleporting skills. People who enjoy the experience of teleporting will want to try this build in PVP. It, as most others characters, is by far NO cheap build.
Many people have argued for ages whether to go for the ES route for Orb sorcs, and I see most Orb Sorcs going ES recently. I do not, however, agree with the typical Orb ES build, as one or two spells WILL bring the sorc’s mana to zero in no time and this cannot allow max blocking due to limited points.
This will BE a relatively short guide due to the PVP section and many details being left out, due to it being a cookie cutter build. I just wanted to make this guide to actually make my stand on FO sorceress going the ES route.
Stat Distribution
Strength: Take all your + to strength items and subtract it from 156 (SS)
Dexterity: Enough to maintain 75 % block with SS
Vitality: As much as you can here.
Energy: 50 points
Skill Distribution
Ice bolt: 20 points (Synergy for Frozen Orb)
Frozen Orb: 20 points
Your main damage spell. Very powerful if the orb hits on full damage, making the enemy take most of the shards
Cold Mastery: 20 points
Most of your damage comes from here =/
Warmth: 8 points
Chilling Armor: 8 points
Teleport: 14 points
Why the MASSIVE amount of points in Teleport? 14 points would mean a Slvl24 Teleport skill, making you have a 1 Mana Cost Teleport! I’m telling you, that HELPS a lot!
Equipment:
You need to maintain 63 FCR breakpoint, so the ideal equipment is:
Helm: Nightwing Veil Cold Faceted
Armor: Ormus Robes Cold Faceted
Weapon: Death’s Fanthom Cold Faceted
Shield: Stormshield Cold Faceted
Amulet: Crafted caster sorc amulet/Mara’s
Rings: 2x SOJS
Belt: Arachnid’s Mesh
Glove: Magefists
Boot: Sandstorm Trek
Charms: 10x cold charms with life or FHR
Annilhus and resist charms
Duelling:
Unlike other PVP builds, every character has counters against an orb sorceress. However, the art of duelling with a Orb sorc lies with its teleporting. Therefore, it can be both a powerful character in PVP as well as a crappy character for PVP.
