good equip for melee enchantress? + advice maybe?

Ok, had an enchantress for a while (simply to enchant low lvl chars) with lvl49 enchant & thought it might be good to try a melee enchantress & maybe try pvp with it so i've been thinking a bit, reading guides & stuff & came to this equip :

helm : shako(socketing not really sure yet)
weapon : beast ettin to shift into bear & 110ias 15ed xxar phase for 4fpa attack
armor : stone(not sure what armor yet, might go for wyrm cause i like that look)
shield : storm(shael)
gloves : IK (best option imo cause of the big str/dex boost)
belt : verdungo's
boots : sandstorms (to get 86fhr bp with equip)
rings : angelic+raven
amu : angelic

If i can get a cham i'm probably gonna socket shako with cham & get 2nd angelic, if ppl tell me my res is low i wont be duelling any casters/ele chars :p or i could put on a sanctuary & um'd shako

Hope my choise is ok but could use comments :)
 
Sounds pretty good...some suggestions though:
Use a good coa/good crafted belt with fhr,life and ow. This way you still have max dr but more fhr, more ow, more resists. Skills is not very important WHILE dueling. Use shako, enchant ormus, magefist, etchutas, lidless, fire ammy, arachnid and sojs to prebuff your enchant BEFORE the duel. Then switch back to the gear you said. And you only need 95 ias in the PB to hit 5 fpa. 4 fpa is not possible for a bear sorc. There is a thread in the barb forum called 'What the @#%&^?' or similar that has quite a bit of discussion about pvp bear sorcs.

)pAnda(
 
only 95? hmmmm, i'm gonna have to check that in single player :)
& coa/crafted belt could be useful, but i'd loose life & i really dont plan on duelling casters :p

btw, ehm, what about skills?
maxed warmth, enchant, fire mastery
& then? shiver armor? energy shield?
would be my 1st sorc with ene shield so no idea what to do :s

*edit*
btw, ehm, what would be good socketing then in that phase? :scratch:
ias/ar + 4*shael + ?
 
in last socket you could place eth(-25% def)/um(ow)/ber(cb)/gul(ar) or if you need stats theres fal/ko/io

tested it in sp, and i would go base energy and then dont wast points in es but go for high shiver armor+synegy

i would go +2 arky or coh for the +fire mastery and bear
 
its not a bad option, just with alot of points going in to str/dex then splitting rest of the point in to ene/vit with es vs full vit with high def from shiver+synegy, i would go the def way if only dueling vs melee chars.

This is my enchantress in hell, this is what she's using.

Azurewrath(Shael)
Mara's amulet
CoH Archon
CoA (Um/Um)
Stormshield (Pdiamond)
Drac's
Dungo's
Gore Riders
Ravenfrost
Natures Peace

5 x Fire Skill charms
5 x Cold Skill charms

Skills:
20 warmth
20 Enchant
20 Fire Mastery
20 Cold Mastery

Decent level of one of the cold armors (first one, chilling I think?), decent level orb, (only a couple of base points).

I chill with orb, then I pound away. The huge cold damage on the azure is helped by cold mastery, the magic damage is awsome. my swing speed is awsome fast. She does great through most of hell. Even oblivion knights are a sinch, because my actual physical damage is kinda low. My life on the screenshot is of course before BO. I only have like 400 mana, but I can fire off orbs constantly, the cool down period of orb lets me regen pretty much everything it costs.. She's a really fun build. I've thought of trying to get a hold of a 'beast' and shifting her into a bear to see what that's like .. it sounds pretty fun.
 
mmmm as its mostly for melee pvp your build wont help me much squigipapa but thx for info & screeny, might try it if this 1 fails

@frisco : noticed in sp that gul hardly added ar & eth wont do me much good, same for ow, i dont like socketing weapons with um :D

here's what i put in my 15ed/1ar phase : 15ias/3xar jewel 4*shael 8str 6dex 4life jewel

imo thats good enough

ahhh .. ok sorry, I must have mis understood, I thought you we're making more of a PvM and were thinking of maybe trying PvP with it .. if it's primarily for PvP, then ya .. I've never actually PvP'd with mine .. she's a PvM all the way babe! :) a surprisingly effective one at that.. :)

You don't need to socket the weapon with an Um to get OW. Duress runeword amor gives 33% OW, Gore Riders 10%, Toothrow 40%...

With 15k AR after enchant an Eth would increase your chance-to-hit by 2-3% versus an opponent of the same level. The only real worry I see with your socketing choice is that, if you depend on that 8str/6dex to equip your gear, then you are locked to that weapon and can't experiment later, same with the IK gloves.
 
:lol: Your build sounds very close to mine. She is even using equipment that is close. Vile-Vixen wears Azurewrath (shael), Highlord's, Kira's (70% shaeled) , COH (wyrmhide. She was using a Stone dusk before.. I'm testing)
Drac's, Nos coil, Gore's, Umed SS. 220 Raven and Nature's Peace. For her pre buff? I use 4+ Ondal's, Delerium, 3+ fire amulet, 2 sojs and an Arachnid's. She has maxed enchant,wamth, fire mastery and shiver armor. They touch her and freeze. I want more skillers on her, but? Once enchanted, she hits 10K damage. Her merc? 4K. I have recently gotten a Beast for her and when she is in bear form? Almost nothing can touch her. 1 point into ES, let plus items do rest. 1 in static, plus does rest. Now? I am alternating cold and light masteries when I level. I have pvp her for fun. She's killed a barb, a charger pally and a trap assasin. The barb was surprised I didn't tele all over. I walked out as a bear and when he got close? I staticed him and then turned and hit him. About 3 hits he was done. The charger? Bounced off me and I went after him and slapped him around. The assy? Laid her traps right outside town. (As expected.) I walked up behind her while she waited for them to finish me. One slap and she went down. Took me a long time to get equipment where it needed to be and see what works for her. But she has been incredibly fun, very viable and owned throughout normal and Nightmare. Hell was much more difficult because of fire immunes. Static, shiver armor, heavy physical damage and Azurewrath help a lot!

myeah, i know, but i dont want to experiment with equip :)
sorc is lvl80 right now & doing pretty well, allready killed 2 ww barbs that were 86+ so with better skillers & more ar/life sc's & ofc higher lvl i think she will do ok :)
equip is like i said & socketed that phase with ias/27lit res, 9str8dex20ar22fire res & 4*shael

dmg : 16k-18k
ar : 15.7k
def : 11k
life : 2.3k

think i can get def to +/- 13k, maybe 15k or more if i think of using stone archon (wich is still possible)
