PvP Fire Ball Guide

[BooN-RelliK]

Creator: BooN-RelliK

Introduction

This is a PvP Fire Sorc Build.. this sorceress will be using fire ball. Now the reason fire ball, or any kind of fire sorces arent good for PvM, because in Hell mostly everything is immune to fire. And FB sorces can be very helpful in PvP.

FCR%
Well, mostly every sorc needs teleport unless they are melee.. My FCR% right now is a little bit over 100 probly.. You need this to help teleport, this will avoid getting killed alot. Cause if your FCR% is low there is a better chance of you getting PKed.

Gear:
Well my fire ball sorceress right now is level 81. So here is a list of her gear..
Although I wouldent use my armor unless its upped.

Spirit
Viper Magi
Shako(Socketed Ptopaz in it)
Mage Fist
Eschutas orb
Manald heal/Nagel ring
1+ to fire skills ammy

Damage
The FB dmg my sorc does right now is 8.4k.. To get some more damage here is how I maxed my skills.

I maxed out my
Fire Bolt First
Then I maxed out
Fire Ball second
Now I maxed
Metor third.

It says metors syenergy is Inferno but it wont increase your FB dmg so I wouldent max it out. Put like between 2-4 points in it.

Now there is one passive skill I forget the name.. It is all the way at the top of the fire sorc skills. It increases dmg.

So after you have all that done Max that out..

Stats
Well my strength is probly a little between 100-150
Dex, you wont need this that much, I only put about 10 points in it.. Most sorceress gear doesent need dex to use it so mines about 40-60
Life you will be needing this alot to survive, but with the FCR% using tele and FB it should kill fast, unless you dont like to use tele.
So my vita is a little between 100-150
Energy, my cousin says the gear that your wearing you should only put in 5 pnts into energy cause the gear that your wearing should give you enough mana.
But I didnt listen to him and I put points into it.

My mana is about 600
Life is about 400-500

My metor dmg is 16k and a 8.4k Fire Ball.

This guide was made by me, it is my first guide so sorry if it is not good.

LoL ^^

Sorry BooN, but you're guide is crap imo.

Helmet: Shako fire facet
Weapon: Echutas fire facet
2nd Weapon: CTA
Ammy: Maras
Belt: Arach
Rings: SoJs
Gloves: Magefist
Boots: Eth treks

Now. I thought about using eni. Why ? DMG Red, +2 skills AND this very nice str boost. If you got this, you can wear a stormshield. HAHA!

Well, shield on 2nd hand: Spirit
Shield for switch on 1st hand: Spirit

Storm: 35% DMG Red
Eni: 8% DMG Red
Shako: 8% DMG Red
----------------------------
51% DMG Red

The maximum value of dmg red is 50%. With that stuff, you have good chances against any meelee char

Skills

It's useless to put any into inferno so why the **** do you put 2-4 points in it?! lol.

Max Fire ball
Max Fire bolt
Max Meteor
Max Fire Mastery
If you use eni nothing into tele b/c you don't need mana shield (you got enough dmg red.)
1 static field
1 into the 1st ice armor (don't know the name)

I don't think that I forgot any.

Stats:

Use torch 20 attributes and perf anni. With the treks you have +60 str which means you have 85 str (does sorc have 25 starting str? I think so.). So, you can wear a dusk shroud eni. If you got eni, you got enough str to wear storm and spirit. So you don't have to do ANY into str.

Now, b/c you don't need to put anything into str, you could put these points into dex for max block with storm. With that, you're the ultimate GA ama ownzor. Max block and max dmg red with own every ama.

The rest in vit.

Nothing into energy.

EDIT: Oh I forgot maras. So you have 90 str without putting anyting into it.

omg u guys....Fb sorcs EITHER 105fcr or 200...Do NOOOOT go below those bps.

What i'd suggest for a 105fcr LEGIT build.

ARach=20fcr
Gloves-20
Weap=40

U just need 25 more to reach the 105bp
if you choose to use Stormshield (which you all should), then you have 2x ring slots, boots, helm, amulet, armor, all free slots in order to get 25% FCR for a 105% legit build.

] If you use an armor with no FCR, i.e. enigma or coh, then you either need rings, helm, or amulet. Now, you could use vipermagi, 1 skill, all your fcr, and some resis. That would free up your ring slots, 2 more skills at most, at best some life from BK, worst some mana from sojs, also a lil added life from 2 more skills to CTA, and also a total maximum possible resist to 50 to all if you um'd your magi, which would be oops stupid. Now, consider your alternative. You could use an armor with no FCR on it, coh or enigma. You only lose one skill total, but you gain at minimum 20 strength with coh, or maximum of 60+ strength with enigma, you gain at minimum 15 resistance with coh, more if your vipermagi wasn't um'd. Also, enigma gives you 5% life, and both armors give you 8% damage reduction, and if you are using SS that brings your total DR up to 43%. Now, if you are thinking "wtf vipermagi + 2x bk rings still pwns you gg lololololo remake nub". Guess what. Say you use to bbands. Thats 24 stregnth, 124 cold resist, 30 resist all, and mana, already surpassing the combined mods of the other rings. After all, part of the reason you people are #$&%* about enigma is because the lack of resist, well guess what, rings make up for it. 24 strength = 48 life, about the same life you would get from one BK ring. BUT, since you were able to add it to vitality it is part of your base life and there-in BO-able, therefore making it equal or greater than the life of your BK rings. Also, enigma works better the mroe base life you have, because of its 5% increase life modifer. If you use trangs, 2x bbands, wraith brands, hoto, and stormshield, alogn with anni and hellfire, your cold resist should be fine. You shouldn't be suffering from any other resistance as well, which is why engima is so good. -15% to stormsheild is a weak piece of trash way to waste a socket. Think of it like this, when you put a -15% req jewel into an SS, the strength goes from 156 down to 133. That saves you a total of 23 strength. 23 stat points = 46 life. BUT, if you shael'd your stormsheild, that would be 50 life. Gg. also, If you ber'd it, the average damage of ww and druid torando is around 6k, divide by 6 for pvp penalty = 1k. Say you use SS + Enigma or Coh, thats 43% DR. Now, at 43% DR off of a one K hit = you take 570 damage. Now, if you put a Ber into stormsheild, that brings your total up to 50% DR, and you would only take 500 damage, effectively giving you 70 life on a physical attack. Already, ber or jah pays off more than the -15% jewel. Jah I prefer since its life is bo'able, and then effectively gives you mroe than 70 life that the ber would. Your resist should be fine, you can't win them all. If you don't use enigma, you will be putting in many, many points into strength. Blizz sorcs dont give much of a problem anyways, and you have pretty good stack, and you can always use 160 shields. Say you only get 50 strength from enigma. That is 30 more strength than coh, so thats 60 life. But that 60 life is bo-able, not to mention 5% more to your base life. My base life on my sorc is around 1400. 5% more life to that would be 70. Gg. You would get 130 more life using enigma, but that is also bo-able since its base life, giving you effectively around 300 more life when you are using bo + oak.

With this build, you would also use a shako helm, giving you mana, DR, life, and more +2 to all skills to help your bo life, then just get a 2/5% fcr/ str/ life amulet. The thing that sux about shako is that the life isn't bo'able, which is why I prefer to squeeze a little more damage out of the helm and still get pretty good life wiht: 3 fire/ 100 life/ 2 socket helm is what i would use. Then you can put 2x jahs in the helm (or 2x sahels if you'd rather just buy lifers, I did the math i think and 2x jahs are good if you have like 1350+ base life). If you use a 3/100/2x sahel helm, then you would have a total of 60% FHR with boots, and 2x shaels. Also the 100 life would be bo-able AND affected from oak, something the shako life is not, which would give you around 300 more life. I prefer this route myself, to each his own.

There, now that i explained it. Some of you will still be disbelievers and think the extra resist from coh is worth all the life you miss out on, but believe me when I tell you that I fight far more necros, druids, barbs, assassins, amazons, fireball sorcs, light sorcs, ww sins, hammerdins, than the 5% of people who acutally use blizz sorcs. (Yes, this last paragraph is here to make you see how ridiculous sacrificing a shit load of life is for a little more stack).
