ES Orber, Gear + stats

I was planning on making a ES Orber with the following gear/skill/stats:

Skill build is obvious: 20 frozenorb, 20 ice bolt, 20 cold mastery, 20 TK, rest into ES. 1 point warmth/teleport. Are any of the cold armors worth it? The general consensus seems to be that Chilling Armor does NOT reflect stuff in PvP, so I may skip on armor.

Gear: Target FCR breakpoint is 105 of course and 86 FHR.

Nightwings w/ cold facet

Fathom w/ Cold Facet

Ormus, +3 ES w/ Cold Facet

35 FCR spirit monarch

Frostburns

2 x soj

Arachs

Treks

I have a nice +2 cold, 10 FCR with resists amulet, should work perfectly

Torch, anni

Skillers: I think I may just go with plain skillers, maybe a 12 FHR one to get me to 86 FHR. I should have lots of mana anyway with 2 soj/frostburns. I may consider swapping Treks for silkweave.

Stats: I get +19 to all skills so I will probably have around level 25-30 ES. I believe this will be around 80% ES, can't tell for sure because Indiablo's site is down atm. I don't really like to prebuff with Memory staves and the like. Now as I don't have a 95 ES build, going base vita would be rather foolish. What would be a good spot to hit vitality to, before pumping the rest of the points in energy? I think 100 would do, any tips?

Resists are low but as this is ES build, it shouldn't be that big of a problem.

I end up with exactly 105 FCR, with maximum mana and very powerful damage. With 1 FHR cold GC, I get 86 FHR as well. As I am playing pubs I think the lack of a block is perfectly fine as everyone in pub is either hammerdin/smiter/sorc/FC zon etc...|||Dont go orber, at least not for pubs. 1 raven is usually enough to wreck your orb apart, and natural-raving-using chars such as bowzons, barbs and melee palas will completely own you, and thats like 1/3 of all pubs. Es sorcs are very difficult aswell, since orb just sucks against them. Hybridsins takes no dmg with their fade either and ow/poison kills you immediately. Same with winddruids, cyclone armor can take a ton of orbs and they always recast it when its wearing out. Imo orb is not good for pubs, but a very nice GM 1v1 char |||Quote:

Wow, didn't know that one raven could mess up the orber that badly. But then again, my bone nec didn't wear a raven, maybe that's why he got owned |||Well its not that u cant kill people that are using 1 raven, its just that it nerfs orbers so much. As the dmg is dealt from multiple sources, absorb tend to wreck it a lot more than other elemental attacks.

Although, people that don't sorb gets killed very quickly
