¬duels with windy druids are essentially stalemates if they recast, since their cyclone is unaffected by mastery. ¬if someone puts on a thul'd hawkmail and 3x psapphire shield, you can still beat them, it'll just take a VERY long time. especially vs other cold sorcs, since ES isnt affected by the -res of mastery however its a life-saver vs physical, magic, or weak elemental attacks. so high elemental damage skills (fb, lightning, cs zons, etc) can drain your mana very quickly. also, without points into telekinesis, es takes 2x damage you would expect. my math is usually a bit rough when it comes to this, but if you have 800 hp with 45% es, you essentially have 1455 hp as long as you dont run out of mana. this means your hp is effectively just about doubled. 45% es means you only take about half the damage you would expect. This should leave you with 1178 blizzard, 1213 ice blast, -70% cold mastery, and 45% es using only insight staff buffing. if you feel comfortable with lower hp, pump all into energy since it gives better returns due to +90% max mana with frosties and sojs

you should have at least 750-800 life, so you may have to add a bit of vita to get this much hp.

¬as for vita/energy, it depends on how much life your gear gives you. ¬you'll need 90 dex for max block with visc ¬you'll need 50 str to equip the eth frosties (60 if you opt for non-eth) use these boots for long duels where max block or ANY running isnt needed otherwise. ¬crafted 10 rep life boots (some may use these as their main boots, but i wouldnt recommend this unless you have 30 frw on your circlet. if you have ES up in a svs/tele duel, fb sorcs will drain your mana very quickly. ¬string of ears + magefists (when you want to sacrifice some mana for some dr% without losing 105% fcr, also good for windies) ¬rhyme bone shield (for no-tele duels vs windies) ¬sander's boots (for trappers, and non-tele duels where you dont need max block) if you lack resists in your gear, use a few life/res scs as well. Inv: enough fhr/mana charms to hit 86 fhr, the rest 15/12 scs or as close as possible. ¬+3 es, +x chilling armor, +x something else 17 med insight on switch ¬crafted 10 fcr belt with 17-24 fhr (and rep life if you can) ¬frostburn gauntlets (try to get eth to save 10 stats) ¬visc shield (socketed with 9 dex, 15 all res jewel) ¬2 cold, 10 fcr amulet with some of life/mana/res/rep life ¬2 cold, 20 fcr circlet with some of life/mana/res/rep life/2 soc (socketed with pskulls) There is already a blizz sorc guide, and a couple links to info, but I don't agree with that build so I wanted to make my own es/blizz guide.
