es/lightsorc,another thread.

Hi,
I decided to finish my account with a es/lightsorc.But i really have no clue how to equip her,skill her or stat her.
So if anyone (maybe Sartok ? ) could give me a basic outline i would be most gratefull.
Is a full lightsorc superior to a es/lightsorc ?
Its gonna be mainly for pubduelling and having fun :D

Tx
 
Haha, I love seeing my name in here...

Ok, so... if you like pub dueling, this one will be very fun for you. As for your 1st question, I prefer ES Light sorcs since you will already have massive +light skills to utilize, although a pure light sorc with maxed synergies and blocking is very effective also, when equiped right.

With an ES build...
Stats
Str - As high as you need it... always the same for PvP nearly... depending on how you play and what skill you use it will be different. If you choose to play something like lightning which doesn't require FCR as much as something like CB does than you could use something such as Gladiator's Bane, which requires 110 str or so I believe... otherwise you can go for a Vipermagi, which works well with Dmg Red, Res, +skills and FCR.
Dex - This is tricky, it will either be base, or 75. Base dex is for all builds not planning on using wizard spike, and obviously 75 is for builds that will use it. Wiz is useful if you need to hit a FCR BP or would like the big plus to mana. It also helps with res, although they are not very important in a solid ES build.
Vit - None, either way nothing... with this build your health is all in mana...
Energy - Everything else, I suggest filling out other stat requirements than just piling it up in here until your finished lvling. Since this is yoru life in this type of build, you need as much of it as you can get.

Skills
Telekenisis - 20 Points (most important)
Energy Shield - Adjustable (will explain at bottom)
Lightning Mastery - 20 Points
Lightning - 20 Points
Charged Bolt or Chain Lightning - 20 Points, your choice which comes first, you will end up filling the other at the end of your build anyways.

Energy Shield - This skill varies... think of it this way... you need a lvl 40 ES, if you have perf equip such as...
9 ES staff
10 Light GC's
1 Anni
Vipermagi
Arachnid Mesh
+3 Lightning Ammy
2 Sojs
Shako

These are all the items that will add to your skills, giving you a total of +29 ES, this leaves you with a lvl 11 ES, saving you an extra 9 points if you didn't do the calculations before hand. If you find a nice +3 Light skills Circlet than you can use less... just determine your final equip and than go from their.

Equipment
As mentioned above that equipment works well, along with that, your other "perfect" equip would be...
Frostburns
Silkweaves

And since the gear above was only for a prebuff...
Heart of the Oak
Lidless Eye

the HOTO is under dispute, as said above wiz also makes a nice alternative. Or a nice +25% Lightning Damage, - 5% Lightning Resistance Eschuta's is nice as well, its just like HOTO, but doesn't have the res, although it does more dmg, a better choice for chars dealing physical damage. Another alternate option is a Griffon's Eye helm, this will take away one +skill point, but will give 25% FCR and more light dmg, it can make a nice difference if used, though a good one is pricey.

As you can see this build isn't way too expensive, the GC's is all that may kill you...

No ES Light Build
Although this is not my specialty, it is mostly the same... this sorc will max all the synergies instead of maxing TK and ES. The equipment that would change would be things like....
Frosties --> Trangs Gloves
Vipermagi --> CoH
+3 Light Ammy --> Maras
Lidless --> Stormshield

Most of the other equip should still work well, it is just that this build is less mana dependant, so for skills, put many more points into Vitality, and try to avoid putting points into Energy at all, since your Soj's, Arach's, and Silkweave's will still add a ton of mana for you...

I'm pretty sure that's all you need to know, if you have any more questions just call my name.. or find me at *Vesti *Vesta *Sartok on USEast Ladder or NonLadder.

Thanks for having faith in me, I hope I helped :thumbsup:
 
hehe yea i saw (and read) your replies in the other threads.

I have a few more questions
Would it be good to go maxblock with a whistan ? or just no block ?
Out of a hoto,wiz (hel) and a echuta , wich would be the best ?

For now i m planning to use

Shako/griffons/+3lit circlet : need help choosing
+3 lit ammy with extra mod (still have to look for one)
Viper or CoH : need help again
Arach
2*soj
wiz/echuta/hoto : help :D
Lidless or whitstans (check my block question)
Frostburns
Silkweaves (they give a % to mana)
10* light gc's
1*anni
9*mana sc

for prebuff : +3 sorc +3es memory

ALso : what fcr bp should i aim for ?and what should i socket my gear with


tx :wave:
 
What attack do you plan on using mainly... that is the most important thing.
 
Well yes, but you can also use Charged Bolt, which has different Break Points for FCR... which makes a big diff in thwe equip you need. Either 117 FCR for light or 105 FCR for CB.
 
I like CB, my bolts do about 1000 dmg each, and it covers alot of area, with some chars only a few bolts will kill, and with others you can tank them with ES and go in and hit them with all 24 = 24k dmg.

Ok, back to this now...
Ok if you go Griffons (25), HOTO/Eschutas (40), Arachs (20), and Lidless (20) that hits 105 FCR, that would be a nice choice, because that way you can use your CoH for the skills/res (which help a little on casters), the skills will also cut down you needed ES... I don't think block is worth the loss in Energy points... though if you feel you need it, with a Whistans it is pretty low Dex.
 
griffons
+3 lit ammy with extra mod (still have to look for one)
CoH
Arach
2*soj
echuta/hoto
Lidless
Frostburns
Silkweaves (they give a % to mana)
10* light gc's
1*anni
9*mana sc

so that wil be my equip

Thanks for all the help :worship:

I hate changing equip to duel in... just a weapon change for me... besides even with my setup, the build is basically done at lvl 88... I would rather lvl a bit more than change equip and everything each time I need my ES buffed.
 
Hahaha true.. but I left this sorc un-godlike... she was cheap and I kept her that way... I put alot of wealth into my Fury/Rabies druid and Bone/Summoner Necro next to come... Singer Barb... how fun! :drool:
