Feel free to answer even if you only have a suggestion, or can only answer one of my questions. I need some help here.

Another question.

When is ES/damage reduction/DTM calculated. My guess is this is how it works, but I'm not sure. Sorc gets attacked. If the attack isn't blocked, then it burns mana instead. Th...

Remember when I posted that idea for a shiver armor a few weeks ago? Well I liked the responses and they sparked my interest about building a pure ES sorc, but I'm not really sure how ES works so I h...

Doesn't seem too good for lld as the % will be low, but just to let you know that is worth a lot for hld so don't trade it off cheap.

LOL at the Tenacious D quote.

I think I'm just gonna make a pure ES sorc with sols... can't kill anyone but can last forever vs most melee. I'll just stand around and let people whack me. Might n...

Yeah I would definately go for the 3 PRubies (or Shaels if you haven't reached fhr bp through gear) I just thought that last post would be a good explanation of why balance is important.

You cou...

For the same general principle as I stated above, you can break down offense and defense in the same way.

The more AR you have, the more important damage becomes, and vice versa.

The more def yo...

You need balance. To simplify things, the more offense you have (AR, damage) the more important defense is. The more defense you have (def, life) the more important offense is.

You can look at ...

Wow seems like my idea sucked, but this input makes it seem like it would work well if I take everyone else's advice. I think it would be a fun character for pubby games, a lot of people would accuse...

OK Guess I'm wrong about the blocking and it would have to use another shield type.

I thought the + chilling armor would work as a synergy because you didn't have any base points in the skill, sa...

Dang, I figured the wand would be level 30 req like the skill. Obviously this can't work in tounaments since I auto lose to any caster class.

OK here's my idea for a shiver armor sorc. No idea if this is good but it could be fun to try out. Obviously it will only work vs. melee.

Stat distribution is the usual. Str for gear, dex for ma...

I heard that shiver armor does damage even if the attack is blocked or misses. Is this true? If so I'm going to start thinking of a shiver armor sorc build and if the numbers seem good I'll post it ...

I asked the same question, everyone said the 40% faster block is much more important than those stats.

Do you need maphack to find out the ilvl? I don't use it.
