Working on ES/FB for PvP

And curious what the standard is for damage. Using a skill calc, I'm getting stats of around 18k Firebolt/ball damage with dual spirits, at 200% FCR/142% FHR with 95% ES prebuffed, and would be curious to know how that would perform vs. say a 105% FCR build with more damage (which thus far I have hit a wall getting beyond 22 or so K with 95% ES). Is it possible to hit 25k while retaining both 105% FCR and 95% ES? And for that matter, if I can hit 200/142 with 95% ES, is 18k plenty of damage?|||^ wouldn't a 3/xx/20 eschuta's help more than spirit?|||18k is enough damage.... you are maxing telekinesis though, right?

I don't think 142 fhr is worth it on a 95% ES sorc... keep in mind you only take FHR stun when you lose 1/12 of your life in one hit.... doesn't happen as often with 95% ES until you run out of mana. with 95% ES Most hits will not cause any stun at all so your FHR is not that important... also stacking LIFE instead of FHR will increase your threshold for not getting hit with FHR stun, which can definately help more than an additional 1 frame whenever you actually do get stunned. although i guess the extra FHR helps vs assassins w/ their stupid mind blast.

I usually don't recommend eschuta's as the 20% fire damage is really only like 4-5% as it adds not multiplies with fire mastery--- but i don't see why you need the FHR from spirit. so if you don't care about resists (hoto is the usual option...) might as well use eschuta's.|||everything i know about fire sorks is HERE

the 'shutas will do more marginally more damage, but the dual spirits make 142FHR possible and the nice mana boost will aid an ES sork.

another quality weapon option for an ES FB sork is a Suicide Branch. opens up a ringslot for an SoJ or possibly even gloveslot for frostburns while maintaining 200fcr.

142 FHR is awesome on a 200fcr sork, ES or vit.

especially against stunlockers.

i rekon if you can get over ~14k'ish with 95% ES you're good to go.

you want to use FireBOLT as your main attack, not fireball. use fireball against minion stackers.

please see my guide for more infoz.
