What are the Strengths/Weaknesses of the build
If some1 can help me out would be really appreciated!
*Uppis|||well ES isn't an attack skill. what do you plan to use ES with? fire, cold or lightning?
EDIT: take a look here http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/s...d.php?t=716549|||Imo the best pvp sorc is es orber.
Skills:
Max Frozen Orb,Telekinesis,Ice Bolt,Cold Mastery and Energy Shield
Items:
Weapon: Deaths phantom
Shield: Spirit in Monarch 35fcr
Helm: Nightwings / Godly circlet 2sorc 20+str 50+mana 2os
Armor: Vipermagi / Ormus / Coh
Gloves: Frostburn
Boots: Sandstorm / Godly crafted mana boots
Belt: Arachnid
Rings: 2x soj
Amulet: Mara or godly crafted one
Switch: cta+spirit monarch , 9es memory staff for prebuff
Good mod to look for on items is replenish life.
Put 20/20 life/mana jewels everywhere you can.
105 fcr is not really a must but I like it.
Inventory:
DON'T use skillers!Get torch,anihilius and only life/mana charms. (20'17 sc's or 45/59 gc's) Make sure you hit 86 fhr breakpoint - use 5/17 sc's or one 12/59 gc if needed.
Play defensively and patiently.|||I was thinking Light as the skill tree, I thought it's the more used one. Thanks for the Frost one tho, I like it =)
*Uppis|||Depending on your budget really, but I would go (and did go) for something in lines of:
200fcr/86fhr. I wouldn't go for 117 fcr, I wouldn't go less the 200fcr.
Griffons eye (Sol rune) - 25fcr is great, but -ress will be stacked 99% cases so facet is useless
2sorc or lite/20fcr ammy - 2/20 is best choice by far, but you can go with 2/10 and use other fcr ring
Hoto - overall best weapon. 20 rep life helps you greatly
Vipermagi (Sol rune) - Self explanatory. Sol is for integer pdr lik in Griffons. Don't take anything else.
35 fcr Spirit (higer mana is good bonus for ES sorcs) - Self explanatory. All mods are great.
Arach - 1skill 20fcr for 200 fcr breakpoint
Magefist - better then Trangs cause of fire skill (warmth) and bonus regen
SoJ - if you can get 20fcr ammy this will help your mana pool and nice added skill.
10fcr/mana ring - other stats like str life poison ress are welcome; I used 10fcr/117mana
Sandstorm Treks - 20fhr and nice poison resist. PR is must for ES users.

Spirit shield
1 lite skiller with 12fhr
8 lite skillers with life
Torch
Anni
10 mana/life small charms
ES prebuff settup
+skill from CtA
3 lite circlet
3 lite ammy
9 ES memory staff + cold armor
3 ES ormus robe
2 x SoJ
Arach
5 Hard point in ES, one Warmth and rest in Lightning synergies. Give your best to get highest possible level for her as she can't be finished at 99. One point in Thunderstorm or get it on Memory staff.
Str for Spirit shield and rest in energy.
What you have? 200fcr/86fhr/95ES sorceress with ~30k lightning dmg, great mana regen and mana pool. 13 mdr from Vipermagi, 14 pdr from 2 Sol runes in sockets 20 life replenish that can save you nicely after you reach one life and next hit would kill you. With integer dmg reduction you can survive much longer with 95% ES and one life then you would expect.
Not ultimate probably, but she did pretty good

Nova sounds fun, that's what I was thinking myself. Could you enlighten me with Skill placement? =)
@Frozzzen Thanks. So you're suggesting 1 Hard point into TK? Won't 2Mana/Damage just drain your manabulb dry after 1st Trap? (ES Sorb doesn't account resists right?)
*Uppis|||Whoops, forgot about TK. Ofc you should max it. Safety over dmg
And yes. ES has 0 resistance to elemental attacks (fire cold lite).
As for Nova build, I'm not so sure about it. It probably has fo focus a lot on -enemy LR (Infinity, Griffon's faceted and some facets all around). It's possible but Nova can't get more than 3k dmg on average to my knowledge. Your opponent doesn't need any sorb, just stacked resists will make each of your novas deal ~125 dmg on average. It's not really build that can work in competitive enviroment. Low range and relatively easy to sorb/stack make it bad in my book.
Besides, you will have nova maxed as synergie to lightning. If you want to have some fun with bone necros or maxblock blizzard sorceress you can ofc go on Nova hunting with 200 fcr as they deal next to no real dmg to you.
Here you have some examples of ES based sorceress that I made. It might give you some ideas. Builds are pretty outdated and I improved them over time, changing sockets and some items after understanding mechanics about energy shield.
Builds are made specifically for Single Player with access to some items that cannot be found on battle net (beta CtA, 1.07 Valk), but also without some bnet specific items like torch and anni.
Also this thread is very old so please no posting in it

If you intend to use her for pvp: well there are more choices available that reap full benefit from ES and are maybe more competitive if you want to compete in tournaments.
However, novasorcs are usually pretty decent pubkillers.
No resist is needed except for poison, this means you can dedicate your equipment to getting as much dmg/mana as you can get.
The low range also makes here fun to play in my opinion, needing to get close without a chance of blocking if things go wrong. However this is what you choose, when taking on this build (wielding Infinity of course).
Stylepoints are awesome wielding a Scythe. Also in pvp you have the benefit of the possibility to cast the druid armor (Cyclone?), so make sure you make your inf in a non ethereal base.
General things to aim for in this build:
86fhr
105fcr
full energy
Choice between ethereal ss treks or manaboots will decide if you can take one more lightning/life skiller or need more lightning/fhr (or fhr/mana).
Skill placements is really straightforward - 95ES on memory switch (or cta stick if you're rich and decide to spend some more es points because you don't want to prebuff), rest into nova and synergies. Leftover points would probably go into lightning or thunderstorm, whichever has your preference.|||ES-Fire can work well. either 105/86/block or 200/86-142.
with a swish rare orb, 105-86-block is a powerful dueller until the sorb starts piling up.
you'll need to prebuff like a GOON. get ES free from Memory stick.
use Fire Bolt as main attack, switch to fire ball against minion stackers.
