hey i need a really really good pvp fber build. i need to know what stats, equipment, and skills.

There isn't that great of a build on here, and i'm not about to write one...However, i can give you what i think is the best build IMO, and has worked very well in 1v1 duels Non-Pubs. They were legit GM (Good Manner duels).

1. Some may say ES over Vita.. i say no thx, a FBer should really go full Vita and Max Block (MB) if you can A) afford it B)willing to have less life C) expect to duel any Melee including windy's (i believe you can block this.. Frater?? lil help)

2. this build can be extreeemmmeeely expensive given proper gear. be aware

3. you will need to attain the 200fcr BP. Speed over damage always wins, i can personally attest to this. i never lost to a 105fcr fire sorc. never. (this is what makes the build so damn expensive)

Gear:
Armor: Up'd 1k+ defense UM'd ViperMagi Perfect res/mdr (35res/13mdr UM'd to 50Res)
Shield: 35% FCR Spirit Monarch with most mana / sorb possible (pref. 100+ mana)
Wpn1: 40 HoTO vs. caster.. stacked resists
Wpn2: +3/20Fire Damage/30 Energy Eschutas socketed with 5/5 or w/e you want (7fhr/15 res jewel , 9str/15 res jewel , 9dex/15 Res jewel work VERY well too for your FHR break point or to keep you at Base Strength or to use Less Dex when attaining MB)
Helm: +2 Sorc/20FCR/Str/Dex/Res/Life/Mana CIRCLET with some of these mods ORGodly +2/20fcr/2open sock RARE (with life/res/str).. one is on JSP with 2/20/40 life/2open sock ... Sooo Sexy (socket with 2x 9/15 and BAM! amazing circlet)
Gloves: Mages for +1fire skills / 20fcr / regen mana etc. or Trangs if need Resist
Boots: ETH as high str as possible TREKS for min. str with Spirit, FHR, PR, vita, etc.. GG
Belt: Arach Mesh ... for FCR breakpoint/+1skill/mana etc...
Ring1 AND 2: BOTh must have 10FCR / 15+ Strength / Res / Life / Mana / Dex ... same as circlet basically
Ammy: 15 FCR + Ammy with any mods you can get.. needs 15+fcr to hit 200 Breakpoint.. same mods as ring/circlet with any +Sorc Skills/+Fire skills you can get (i.e Fletch on US-East +2/20/str/res/mana/life)

Switch: 6BO Cta and any spirit/lidless/etc +1/+2 shield

Inventory:
Torch (stats b4 res)
Anni (stats b4 res)
9x Fire GCs with most life possible / FHR.. either hit the 42, 60, or 86% FHR Breakpoint after gear using charms (i.e 20 from boots, will need 28 or 66 more to hit either of those Breakpoints.. so mixture of Fire/Fhr and FHR/Res small charms)
Depending on %FHR.. Get 42, 60, or 86 (with 5fhr/single res) then get 5res all / life scs or life/mana scs.. mix and match


That's it for gear.. you will need 156 Strength AFTER GEAR and INVENTORY (including jewels)

You will need a lot for Max Block after gear.. so it is up to you if you think you want it /need it.. i hear it owns... but i have never used it.. i have tanked a few WWs (with 2.5k life) and lived and have been eatin alive by BvCs... your call

You will aim for 2k+ Life after gear and BO... you should have plenty of mana with just 1 in warmth.. the duel shouldnt last that long. i had ~700 mana leaving energy at 0.. and never ran out unless i was dueling 3 Pubs at once.

Once again .. this is a 200 Fast Cast Rate build that is EXTREMELY gear dependant.. you will either go no Dex or enough for Max Block after gear/inventory and you will go NO Strength if at all possible to wear Spirit Monarch... the less Str the better, i had a crap ammy and had to add ~35 into str... get as close to 156 as you can then add from there. The rest will go to VITA.

Skills:
20 Firebolt
20 Fireball
20 Meteor
20 Fire mastery
1 in pre-reqs
1 in tele and pre-reqs

I Put the Rest into HYDRA to FHR lock my opponent and snipe Trappers. It is completely up to you..however i think it is worth every point invested into hydra. It even finishes opponents occasionaly, and it's a deturent to move people where you want them to go. Up to you bro..

Some say 1 in cold armor, however i did not, boosts def a lot however, so you may want to.

Strategy:
Cold Sorcs: if blizz... don't tele on top, she'll just Blizz herself, tele around , dont get caught NLing (Namelocking), spam FBs at the X on your screen and use hydras to direct here towards your balls (hehehe devilish: ) use firebolt as well if need be. if orb, NL an dspam Ball/Bolt until she's dead.. they're pretty simple, you should be able to tank a few Orbs while she shouldnt be able to tank to many 23-25k Fballs.

Light Sorcs: NL and spam FB, not too much here

Fire Sorcs: hope you have more dmg/life than she does and NL spam FB at the "X".. also cast a few hydras in front of you and try adn spam FBs in an "X" formation to try adn cath her teling

Barbs: if anything other than BvC... avoid WW an spam FB while hes WWing.. rinse repeate... if BvC... stay the hell away, avoid NL if you can, spam FB and hydras to try and get him in FHR lock, then finish... very very very difficult to beat, you must hope they have crap FHR and can get him locked. otherwise, you're donesky

Windys: same as BvC.. you probably dead.. spam FBs at minions, try and get some splash dmg on him, sometiems i would NL and try and get him b4 minions to close to get direct hit with FB.. NEVER FBolt a Windy.. the splash on FBall will diminish his Cyclone Armor after that 1-2 hits and youre a winner. Hydra like BvC, may lure Minions.

Trapper: stay away from her so you dont get Mind Blasted all the way to town... use hydras to snipe her , she'll prolly stay in Traps waiting for you.. youre going to ahve to stay far enough away and Snipe with hydras and FBalls at the "X".. should be able to beat if dont get caught in mind blast.

WWsin: spam fballs and hydras.. should be able to tank a few WWs and win in 2-3 FBs

Bowzon: tele on top and FBall.. end of story

FCer: stay at least 1 screen away and spam FB and Hydra.. not much alse you can do

Smiters: these guys r tough especially wen they desych. always keep some hydra out and spam fire balls. hopefully wen they pop up you will have enough fhr and repeat the process

Hammerdins: stay a lil distance away from them, try to avoid hammers and spam fire balls and hydras near them


That's all i got.. hopefully this helps.. Read it carefully.. any questions plz ask. Later man.

EDIT: fixed FHR BPS (42/60/86 are the 3 you aim for)
EDIT2: .. if you can't grab a 15%FCR ammy.. you can always go with a Wizzy.. either Hel'd or any of these jewele'd:

1)-15req/15res
2)-15req/9str
3)-15/9dex
4)15res/9str
5)15res/9dex
6)7fhr/15res

or a combo of any of those AND a 10 FCR Ammy with the mods i suggested above.

Actually, it so happened that my brother decided to make a cheap fire sorc last night, so I rushed him and he is buying the equipment right now, just a few hours away from being able to kick major ass.

I was thinking, max block is kind of useless for a sorc. There is only one build against whom you are going to use it, namely bvc. Who the hell duels with a Zealer, and even if you did, you should be able to kill him in about 1.5 seconds. No, Tornados cannot be blocked, even though they are elemental damage (can only be blocked by assassins Claw Block).

Now your options are, go for max block so that you can duel barbs, or go for full vita and have a better chances against all other builds. The choice is yours, just bear in mind the fact that bvcs are some of the most common rich dueler builds.

If you decide to go for max block, forget about Spirit, therefore about 200%FCR, because you will need ~400 DEX for max block with Spirit. All sorcs with max block use Whitstan's Guard, from Orphan's Call set, which has the most block in the entire game. It's up to you what to sox it with, some people go for 7%FHR/+9 DEX jewel, ES sorcs often go for Dol rune (replenish life). If you decide to go ES, also use Verdungo's instead of Arach for nice DR%, mass vita and nice replenish life. ES sorcs have such low life that replenish life works great on them.

In conclusion, if you want to go vs casters, go with the build that db_jynx wrote up above. If you want to go with max block and/or ES and be able to take on barbs, I'll write you a guide in a jiffy.

I thank ya. Agreed with the Whistan's, figured it would be an enormous amount of Dex for MB, that's crazy. That's why i never went MB, no viable way to get 200fcr without using hacked items (i.e wizz gloves).

Stick to Base block, use FHR/Res/Str Jewels in your gear, not Dex, as MB is pretty much unobtainable. Go for Base Str, all Vita if you can. Gl man.

[FraterPerdurabo]

ill go with db_jynx's build

If you do that, I suggest not going for max block.
