Frozen or Shiver armour for sorcs?

Which do you folks like for your MF sorcs, and why? Any help is appreciated.
 
Frozen armor is generally the choice I believe, 1 point to stop some small amount of the monsters that hit you a chance to hit you a second time if you get stunned teleporting is all most people use it for.

If you're actually going to wear gear like SS/Upped Viper/CoA/Tgods/Travs that'll provide a meaningful defence you could consider maxing one of the armors, and it would probably not be frozen due to the lower def bonus, but I don't really recall the last time I saw a sorc using a cold armor specifically for the def bonus.
 
2x a paper bag = a paper bag ^^

Specifically at level 10 it's 99% vs 75%, 24% of 1500 def=360 extra defence, not really worth the extra point imo. But like I said if you've got some high defence to start with shiver is worth considering.
 
I always used 1 point Shiver for my sorcs, it is just a handy 1 pointer that does alot. May latest sorc Freball/Met I only invested in Freezing Armor and had this wand on switch wiht +3 shiver. Well, I hit like 75ish and did some gear changeing and realized I still had no points in shiver so I just used Freezing. She is doing great with that so I never got Shiver.

IIRC Shiver freezes, frozen chills.....distinct difference and advantage, but either as a 1 point wonder are good.

Other way around. Monster is shivering. Monster is frozen.
 
Or there's always the uber-leet group of 8 hostile to each other sorcs, each with the 3rd armor, one tosses an orb out into the middle of them and sit back and watch the sparks fly...
That's how you SHOULD use skill points and time.
 
With my sorc I was using up'ed Skin of the Vipermagi, Stormshield, Tgod's and Nightwing's so it was worth the two extra points.
 
I always go frozen armor for my tele sorcs no matter if they mf or are for rushing. I need what I'm going to tele through to stop before they hit me and I think that frozen does what I need for that purpose. I only put one pt in it and let my equip do the rest. Atm my 81 fb/orb sorc has 7 on her frozen armor and one hard pt in it, so she does ok for tele, but you know what they say about opinions :lol:
 
Shiver is better in some situations. At least i've seen that in hell when u get surrounded by angry monsters who hit fast. Frozen armor freezes them but the duration of freeze is so short that it doesn't really help. What i've seen that in shiver when it just gives cold dmg they stay cold quite reasonable time and hit slower and u can tele away.

Though i play d2c so it's a bit different with those crazy items in lod.. (i recall it was no big deal to get surrounded by monsters with sorc) (well maybe fana minotaurs)
