Bro you are single handedly making me really think hard about playing again...
He made me make a pvp poison necromancer, from his video content, it was awesome man
@@orelevato5664 i made one too haha
Love your videos sir! I have just completed building this sorc on d2r - dueled with her for the first time yesterday and it was a blast! The tankiness definitely goes a long way!! Ty for the guide
Deserve far more subs! Glad your sub count is growing brother, keep it up! Thanks
man all these build's you can do in Diablo 2..... Its truly as Masterpiece!
Most intellectual D2 content. You made a fan out of me. Keep it up
This video has inspired. Just picked up a 5os +1 energy shield staff for cta. By far the hardest piece of the puzzle to find.
Omg, hidden gem.
17:45 starts to duel on his ES sorc with no ES casted, 10/10 - You've clearly improved in the last year :)
Was watching my FIRST video ever yesterday... What a terrible dueler I was :P
Love your vids dude! Keep it up
Also that little thing on your chin messed me up so hard, had to rub my screen to find out it was on your end xD
Your content is so good...i hope you grow up faster as a youtuber! ✌️
Thanks, brother. Appreciate that
Many moons ago I rocked a 200fcr/142fhr pvp fire sork (dual spirit, 20fcr hat and amulet, Viper armor, sweet tri-res/fhr rare boots).
Was a lot of fun but could be totally neutered by Hotspurs+Dwarf ring.
Es sorc is interesting because depending on your gear, balancing life and mana is a fine tuning project.
That's why I love it :D ! Kinda like life ;)
You sound 100% like me in the beginning, LMFAO! Can I talk you into covering a mb necro? Thanks for bringing this content to all of us d2 fans. I hope you are getting the credit you deserve!
I see Coooley I like.
were you been man make some new videos i do enjoy them
17:06 coooley the best dueler I have ever seen :P
loving the content
You could also use dungo on the vs all setup :)
Thanks for the shoutout bro! Cool sorc and nice video
I left it out on this one, as I thought it didn't really matter much having only 23% total and went for the 20fcr instead. Figured we'd switch to mb if we ever needed DR. Bugged version does this for sure, though :P It's a lot easier to work 50%DR in with that build haha
@@Coooley good point brother. Good little pvp montage at the end :D
Great entertainment as always!
i love how new your treating this haha, ive been playing this sine 2010 even a 200 fcr variation. with a legit setup you can end up with 5k mana 1k life and dont skip energery shield skills in that case. you should also put all points into energy. 95% of damage can be absobed to es with max.
How’s the 200 fcr variation look
Game: Duel Me Noob
*Coooley has entered the game*
"So I have chosen death".
This guy must be the best pvp duelsit out there holy crap. The thought process into this is nuts!!!
haha Much appreciated! There are indeed far better duelers than me out there. Luckily for me, some of them talk to me and give me ideas :D
This build has been around since they introduced synergies. But the correct way to build it is to put the 20 hard points into telekinesis,no points into ES and use +9 ES staff,swap gcs for light gcs,then all plus light gear you can get 95 ES this way. When i used to pub stomp, I always brought in my bo barb and had like 9k mana. Was unstoppable until someone absorbed ya. You want the 200 fcr and not the 105
@@cyanide3833 yes. Love that build. Unfortunately stash buffing is considered BM under most rule sets, including the DFC
man you are rich in items and knowledge , good for you
You still should try an ES Nova build. With ES if you get to the 95% absorb it actually is 100% damage taken to mana until your mana is gone. Max block, max nova, max lit mastery, max TK, get ES to 95% then 1 frozen armor and rest to warmth. Get as many lit mastery gcs and +mana scs. Its very effective. EDITED IN: theres a runeword called Memory. If you get it with a +3 energy shield base it will become a +9 energyshield runeword when made. It saves many skill points
Joris de Gouw it caps out at 95% but like i said that 95% is basically 100. Skill allocation is 20 nova, 20 lit mastery, 20 telekinesis, enough into ES to hit 95% ( +9 memory makes this easy, just use cta before for the extra +1 skiller ) 1 warmth, 1 thunderstorm (hits for like 3-5k with only 1 hard point) 20 lightning, rest into chain lit or charged bolt.
I really like the ES/FB and ES/Orb pvp sorcs
I did not expect only 2 min of actual duel gameplay :(
Probably not good for PvP, but I remember that the two theoretically tankiest legit builds were a certain barb build and a ES sorc with lots of flat damage reduced by X gear. Rarely ever see that one, tried it one time but it was a real pain to get the items you want since almost nobody keeps items with the highest rolls of that mod unless the item is godly already, so there was a huge issue with lack of "middle tier" items before you can afford the best.
More vids like this! Great content!
I think this tk/es info is more known amongst those who focused on mock pi / hacked duels back in the day
So in other words: basically no one knows? :D
@@SiCKenz nowadays; not so many, but 10 years ago; thrilling and active scene!
You think these normal D2 builds are science? Mocks were NASA material. D2 boiled down to pure math and effect.
I never got the hang of it, but I was able to make a few good chars
@@Odinoian Yeah I was active in that scene for years. Sad that Ladderhall and all the other old sites are gone now :(
"Nasa material" is a tad dramatic and I wouldn't call it "pure math" just because no one actually did the math on most things... It was almost entirely empirical testing. It's good that you never got the hang of it as it was mostly a waste of time. Hours and hours of testing to go into a game and "rub up on one another like a pair of horny/thorny sheep".
@@SiCKenz OMG LADDERHALL YES! I was never active there, but I remember the beef between the D2 forums back then holy shit.
I was mostly over at ShadowDiablo, and believe me, the mock discussions towards when I left the scene... I still stand by it being almost all math and discussion about how different things affected other things. Some of the guides were pages upon pages...
@@Odinoian The beef was pretty much just between Nightshiver and JayofTeror. Everybody else was just having fun... Mostly. Back when I left the scene, ShadowDiablo was relatively new and seen as a ripoff site because it was literally reposting clones and info ripped from LH/JoT. Therefore you would know better what was actually there, but Old friends/acquaintances like "Warbandit" and Lloyd wrote the original .11 PI guides. In retrospect I guess it was arrogance from our side; openly shared information is much better for a community than the shadowy espionage and subterfuge culture LH had.
I'm currently working on a max es Blizzard sorceress. My charms I'm planning to use is cold/dex. Adding dex allows me to reach max block faster. I'm a max block guy also! Might sound odd but I'm planning to use Enigma because it will save me any str I would need for other gear. For my build I'm going for 100% Energy shield and Telekinesis. My Blizzard won't be as much so maybe 2-3 Blizzards when I would normally need 1-2. However my mana pool is going to be insane. I'm going for Clash belt, Weave boots, the same gloves as you. Then Wizzy Spike for more mana and cast speed. Nightwing for more dmg to make up for wizzy not having skills. Sojs and I'm thinking going cheap with maras. Fcr not 105 so 1 tier lower then max. Fhr I'm using sc with fhr. My views on this build is it will make those who name lock question if they really want to do that with such a tank. As well name locking better for a Blizzard sorceress.
Tactics is very hit and run, nail with a Blizzard and Tele away as you Reagan mana. Try to bait people into Blizzard and this build has a little hidden gem I'd like to leave out 😀
I like this build a lot though
Totally love it, can't wait for the unfair version lol
Hoto also has max mana and LIFE REPLENISH which is HUGE for ES. Whistan's shield can be OP on ES too vs physcial damage
I had actually spoken of that point about Hoto but cut the footage, as I figured it was too long-winded! But a very good point. I'm actually considering Whitstan's in version 2 (BTals version). But it may not jive with the necessary items to reach 105% cast and still hit max DR :(
I had pretty much all pvp builds back in the old days of D2 and I do remember I had a 200fcr es fire sorc. Most fun was hybsin, Smiter, Boner nec, trang set poison nec fun vs melee sry for my bad english. I had tons of hld lld and mld chars on 6 accs.
Bruhh the telekinesis blew my mind I always thought es sorc was wack 😂
Back in the days I used to build her with enigma for no strenght point (+80-/90 points in energy instead)/max es instead of maxing damage with gspur/fletch but pure vita fire sorc are the best SvS. For overall set-up i'd say ES is better. Cool video!
No sorceress can stand before the BM blaze sorceress.
Fun fact. If you travel far enough away, blaze disappears. Its still active, but the animation is gone. So what you do is go full blaze build, equip -fire res gear, and prepare to wreck everyone.
Cast blaze and run in circles right outside of town, or someone's body, or the cold plains waypoint. Stack it up a bit and teleport 3 screens away. Invisible fire dealing stupid high damage, with like -60 fire res or something. Instant death.
i remember when i figured out how ES worked. Its epic in PvM
@@zarirazz85 I don't remember it being a big deal. i used max block. its been years so memory is not perfect but i never lost that HC sorc once i started using ES
As I'm a lazy person, i didnt go through the comments. :) did anyone mention that you should reach like 2k life 3kmana ~ as hybrid ES. certain amount of life equals more initial dmg needed of the opponent to FHR you. i cant give 100% givens at this time, since ive just picked up the game again and realized a few things have changed, so currently im figuring out myself. cheers
Hey my friend if you want I'll show you how to build a Frozenorb/es sorc build with which u'll have 5k+ mana and about 1k orb dmg. U'll be able to outtank any hammerdin
So ES lightning sorc would be even more tanky with all the lightning skillers, nice nice
I believe synergies only work with the points you put into them. Not the plus skills you get on items/charms.
@@UDav-kh2bd ah yes so they would only work towards es, not telekinesis bonus. Might free up some points there, but I'm not sure how many would be needed on ES
Ahhh NM I got you. Mine is a fcr es.
Trap assassin pvp next tutz? 😉
sorc .... i have a love/hate relationship with this champ. Ever since the immunities patch
aaay thats me
for energy shield, besides poison resist, are max resists worth it for the damage that gets through? Energy shield takes damage before resists, including physical resists. Almost would be better to stack poison length reduction since it goes through ES, no?
Beautiful setup. Melee Sorc??
What about es cold sorc? I saw one on your tourney.
For your first setup, do you switch a soj with raven frost when you need to not be frozen? Or a cham'd shako?
Ravenfrost, Adam. It's also useful when we need that extra dex for max block
Super BM, 2 dwarf stars, hotspurs and rising sun amulet or Nokozan Relic
Also could have done the whole cta in flail with skill shield while having a cheap old +3 ES staff in the stash.
Or memory staff
nowadays i dont see often the max damage reduced named. how much was it for pvp? 35/45%?
The whole prebuff thing is such a drag though. Then there's the issue with BM sorb.
do you have pvm and magic find builds for energy shield for cold, lightning, and fire sorcs, or just pvp builds?
Cooley mainly focuses on PvP content, check out Dbrunski125 for pvm/mf content. And MrLlamaSC for speedrunning and how to get through the game efficiently. Both super knowledgeable guys. As is cooley
What about using Phoenix shield with -28% to enemy fire resist?Will that be a better choice?
Why not go with a 9es Memory for prebuff? Cba to have any prebuff gear? 🤪
How much points i need to spend on RAW vita and energy to get this 1200/2300 mana in good gear and charms? I want to know start life mana. Please answer me anyone?
Haha, and i tried to change your mind in the comments ^^
Hey what song are u ising as the bagground music
I wonder if there’s any changes to it now since buffing hydra
Her Coooley, the damage you take with ES on your mana is calculated without resistenz and dr, only the damage on your Life is calculated the normal Way. Also Fhr only comes in effect if your losing 1/12 of your Health. If your running a High ES Resistenz and dr are less importent. Fhr should only apply if your out of Mana, still important tho.
Your setup is a low ES i would guess around 80 %.
A High ES-Setup:
5 Hard Points in ES everything else stays the same. You need pre Cast Eq to get your Es to lvl 40 where ES gets max Absorb of 95. All points Energie. With a good Setup You get 1.1 k life 5k mana.
Only weakness is OW with 1.1k life your down to 1 health with 2 hits. Some life replenish can real help.
Is it better to go max block then throw all stats into energy to get max mana?
@17:27 Vs PNB Necro W/ Hotspurs
I looked it up to see why hotspurs would even be mentioned (Max fire res and fire res)
But now I have another question, why can only Necros and Zons use them in gm duels? I know nothing about dueling in D2 btw.
ES sorcs are absolute tanks that can just wear down most pvp builds. Spurs sort of even the playing field in that matchup, as it's hard enough for a necro to even catch a Sorc with bone attacks
In the current ruleset, zons aren't allowed over 85 anymore
So I stated down to es should I max it are tele first?
hi bro, 1 question , call to arms (sorsc staff) bug energy shield, worth in diablo 2 RESURRECTED bro?, this build is right in d2r? bless!
This build looks really fun. If people stack sorb, do they become immune to fire damage?
I'm thinking of trying this out but I don't want to get hard countered by people in pub duels
The good thing about fire damage is it's the hardest one to completely absorb (even if people are trying to BM they have to really go over the top). Hell, even 85 fire res plus dwarf still ain't enough to nearly stop everything.
That's good enough for me, as long as I don't easily get 100% sorbed then I'm happy.
I'm guessing for someone to go full immune, they'd have to swap all their gear specifically for that, in which case someone else in the lobby could just kill them.
Thanks for the quick reply btw, I'm really loving your videos after finding this video initially!
can i get the stat points as im unsure exactly how many to use
I have yet to complete the game on ssf hardcore with sorc :/ . Last time i went ES ... flew thru the game feeling near immortal and then i got slaughtered by the ancients on hell. It was a close fight and i almost had them but then i got clipped by the whirlwind guy and he hit me three times in a row and i died.
Is it bm to keep a memory in cube in stash??
Bro, in diablo 2 resurrected this build is better then bugged versión? Bless
Coooley I have to ask why does no one ever use Trangs gloves and boots on a fire sorc????
Magefists give +1 to skills on fire sorcs. Also, Trangs Boots!? What kinda blasphemy is this!?
@@Coooley Ahahahaha my bad that's a typo I meant the belt. 2 piece for the +13 fireball. Btw dude your channel rocks like my god your content is good. Thank you for the reply. That said however. Just like a white ring could there have ever been Trang boots??? That would have been insane. Were there any brave BNET hackers who tired?
@@HeftyOwl Not sure if fusing ever could happen with set items, but that would be sweet. They'd be duped 10,000 times over by now haha. And thanks, man! 'ppreciate you!
What is your thougts on Max Block es blizzard sorc for pvp?? :) i reccon the one i had when i played was rather strong!
Full ES and max block = strong AF
@@Coooley ye - boosted up my old computer and found the items from back then! It was kinda strong 😅😅
Does CTA staff have to be plus three to es? Making it plus 4 with bo. This is the only question I need answered fast!!!!! I see +2 es staff CTA out on jsp for D2R but there only a few. Struggling because I can’t build until I have this piece and I want to do it correctly. Thanks for any that reply 🙏
If you have a Memory staff to buff from your cube, then no
@@Coooley but you want “at least” +3 from memory staff in cube or CTA staff. I don’t want to buy this +2 es 6bo staff CTA and have problems with the build not being perf
@@jammyjamz89 If you're going just CTA, you're gonna want +3
@@Coooley ty. This answers my question. Coooley you Rock! Glad I found your channel years back
how can it be an fpk setup if FPK is restricted to eleDruid Bonenec wwbarb trapsin none the less its a really cool build.
Could you do a ES Blizz build video
Can u update this guide for next patch?
Do you think these builds are superior to 200 fcr or vita fballers?
It depends on a lot, but 200 fcr sorcs often don't have many options when it comes to switching gear for different matchups. I would highly recommend an ES sorc over a regular vita FB sorc for survivability in PvP :)
@@Coooley After thinking a bit I had two other quick questions.
(i) You mentioned in the vid that using a 2/20 ammy can go a long way. How so? Only thing I can think of is it lets you cut an arachs and soj for a 10 fcr ring and verdungos. So you basically swap 30% mana and 2 skills for ring mods, 40 vit, 15 dr, some repl, and 10 fhr. That 10 fhr lets you use a 5 fhr sc instead of 12 fhr gc to hit bp. The two setups seem to give roughly similar life + mana totals, so I guess the argument is that the @ res on ring, dr, and having more life is enough to justify the -2 skills?
(ii) Why fireball over firebolt? Dont you want to conserve your mana with this build?
@@chrisbrowne4695 great questions man. For the first, i think it depends on the matchups. If you don't need DR, you're 100% right. Damage takes precedence. For the second one, if you put a pt into warmth and divide your stat points between vita and energy, fireball costs next to nothing and won't end up costing much mana. At that point, the hit box and splash damage is far better than fire bolt
Why coh if resistances doesnt matter on es sorc?
I like my 200fcr 142fhr fire sorc xd
care to make a frozen orb es pvp build?
What about 200fcr pvp?
You using wizzy in those duel clips?
Good observation haha but no. I s couple duels, I experimented with eschutas over hoto. Not ideal, imo.
@@Coooley haha i had to kick it into 1080p she was whippin it so fast it looked like a wizzy. love your vids btw
My es sorc can tank like 8 hammers lol. 5k mana ftw.
i always shake my head if i see videos like "watch my tanky hc sorc" and they dont even use mana shield lul .>
dump a super high lvl chant on a multishot bowazon and you get volley of deadly arrows XD....prob can snag firewall on top of enchant....20 telekinesis...1 es....20 wall....20 chant..20 warmth....20 fire mastery...you get even more mana regen with lvl 20 warmth XD.....wall and chant both synergize with warmth so ya....
why not eschuta?
I don't think Dr applies to es. Just like poison CB and ow doesn't go to es. Also you only need fhr if a large enough percentage to life is taken so more mana and 40 es is worth a try. It's also worth a try to run whitstans instead of ss for the lower strength req and less DeX points to mb. 40 es is under rated imo, on west ladder I have mb 4.6 k mana and 40 es. Let me know if you want to tinker on my sorc as I don't play anymore.
hmm... wako with sur+treki, maybe wako with shael+craft boots 30frw/10fhr/50+mp/5imm/resists, 86fhr=spirit+boots+wako+sc fhr/mp
She can "take 4 hammers" 😏
Lol you can practically hammer right down on 'er
The infinity nova ES sorc is way more fun ! You need a low str Infy tho
ALWAYS max telekinesis... you give up damage if you want hard point into ES, not telek
Hey bro...it's vazor my es sorc is ready if you wanna try her lmk when.
Sweet! So happy that you made this, man. Thanks for bringin' her to East! I'll get a hold of you on Twitch tomorrow.
Bro then I have a treat for you ... Cuz I made two ...es fireballer and es frozen orb ... Will be fun!
All stats to energy, no max block, 40+ life skillers, life/mana sc’s. Give up some damage for a hard point into ES. No max block, MAXIMIZE ENERGY. No vita.
We tried this with 4-5 different setups before reaching this conclusion. 2/3 split is far better. All energy just means you'll end up dying with tons of mana left.
@@Coooley That won't happen if you go for full es precast and get 95% es. This is achivable with only 6 or 7 points into es with fully equipped precast. Also with the right gear, you can achieve up to around 5.6k mana
@@HardstylePodcastz no doubt but we can't precast from the stash in gm pk (it's annoying anyway). And we will have sacrifice points into fire synergies if we go that high on ES unfortunately :-/
@@Coooley Full precast isn't allowed on the us servers? Hmm
With my esfb I do 20-21k so the damage isn't really a problem (lvl 96)
Damage reduce doesnt work on ES sorc therefore the sur in the shako is useless
I think you're very, very confused on what Sur does in helms haha
First comment, keep doing videos pvp duels with your psn necromancer...😎
if u tank 4 hammers with this life/mana i will buy you a new mercedes :D :D
top vt just charge atack ? 🙄🙄
Using mana pots on a es sorc is the dumbest gm rule I ever seen sorry. Still love ya bro but in my world gm duels you can't use mana pots on a es sorc. It's the same thing as using health pots honestly.
You make a decent guide video most of the time and you have pretty good knowledge about the game but was frustrating to me is every time you do one of these guides you’ve got like your whole fucking Inventory full of these perfect charms and shit like fuck in 40 life skill GC’s and Tony life resist all small charms I mean why don’t you make a realistic fucking video? Obviously I’m not the only one who thinks his stuff because the legit version one on your vote right
Lmao he’s got lifers in the 30s… what are you talking about this is definitely a realistic build. Stop sucking or swipe that card my boy
Hotspurs > :(
This build is ehhh. Try 200fcr full vita.
🗑️
So why marrowalks? I don't get it.
