Max Block or Not? That is the question. |
|
If this is Bela, press Ctrl + W
^_^
Anyways... I'm planning a lv30 LLD Sorceress that utilizes the Telekinesis + Energy Shield synergy. It will end up with 7 in Energy Shield and 10 in Telekinesis... Which will give it somewhere around... Lv15 Energy Shield and Lv18 Telekinesis with all items on.
Now, should I go for max block, or not?
I was thinking of using Whitstan's Guard as a main shield, and a collection of 3-Socket Kite Shields with perfect gems when up against enemy spellcasters, but I feel that the extra strength required to get a good blocking exceptional 3-socket shield isn't worth it... So if I aim for max blocking, I would achieve 75% only when using Whitstan's Guard.
Comments? Thanks in advance.

Use whits when you need blocking, resist kite vs anything else. Only get max blocking for the whits, as any other shield would require way too much dex for it to be a practical investment.
Whits guard for a lvl 30 sorc only requires about 67 dex for 75% blocking IIRC. Definetly go for it, as it's points well spent vs melees and ranged. The more points for energy/vita the better.

I agree with Pansy on this one, you don't need to block what you can't block anyway. And more life = Good.

i completely disagree. 75% block on a viceratuant can be achieved with about that amount of dex as well(ill check, but i think its even less than pansy stated), just put a 9dex jewel in your orb, and if you want 2 more in your magi and your pcrown. my cold sorc has 75% block (using viceratuant) and shes a tank.

id suggest the viser as well if your going vs tough melee often. But if its just for backup once in a blue moon,,,,then build with the 67 dex + whitsans and save the 23 dex points..
u need 90 dex for 75% with Visertaunt,
82 dex if u eld rune it.
67 dex with whitsans for 75%
63 dex if u eld rune it*
(*since u only save 4 dex, perhaps sheal the whitsans for 4 frame blocking.)

With planning and reading, I've decided to go for 65 dexterity and max block on the Whitstans...

+2 Circlet
The armor is a secret
<-<

By the way, what armor looks best on a Sorceress with a low strength requirement?
