Voices and I were musing about this possible build idea, it being an eshield/tstorm light sorc that well.. runs.

Build would be as follows:

7 T-Storm
7 E-Shield
11-Telekinesis
1 - Lightning Mastery
1 - Warmth*
Rest - Pre-reqs.

Gear, thus far, will be as follows:

Helm: 2light/20fcr/4xlife/3xmana circlet (1 open socket)
Armor: 35/13 Vipermagi (open socket
Shield: Visceratuant for pre-casting, Whitstan's for actual dueling
Weapon: 2light/3tstorm AND 2light/3energy shield orbs for pre-casting.
Boots: Sander's
Belt: string, otherwise death's belt
Gloves: Frostburn
Rings: 2x SoJ
Ammy: 2Light/life/mana rare

As for how this build would duel... well.. it would run. T-Storm would do the work. Calcs put the damage around 56x-7xx listed, which would turn out to be something like 27 average pvp damage against someone with 75 resists and no mdr.

As for sockets, Shael in the whitstan's if it'll reach another FBR bp, and most likely PSapphires in circlet/armor for more mana. Hell.. even Sols wouldn't be a half bad idea.

EShield, after all the +skills, gets somewhere around 70% absorb or so, with 11 hard points in telekinesis to back it up.

Benefits: NO fcr needed. No aim needed.

Downsides: 75+ light resist kills this build, minions of any kind are an effective counter.. kinda low damage as well from t-storm.

Does this sound reasonably fun?

i think it would be fun for when you're bored and just feel like messing with the pubbies. as for actually competing against other llders, i'd say it's just like any other off the wall build, it won't last long but hey, you never know. as for me, i don't think i'd like to play this build for long. i mean, all you do is run, i can't see how that can be fun for more than an hour, tops.

Hmm yes i think it would get boring after the first begining novelty of it wore off Razz

but wouldnt it be better to use spirit sword as your dueling choice while you can prebuff with storm and shield? extra Fhr, Life, mana sound like good bonuses for this build.....

if you;er only going to use it for this build ben, dont waste the runes. thats a rediculous price for a +2 LIGHT skills circlet. and you dont need the FCR.

Can t-storm be "prebuffed" as in, you cast with the orb and switch, will the hits still use the dmg from your prebuff?

If so I would highly recommend a spirit sword for the absolutely massive fhr and massive mana.

For pre-buffing, I am not entirely sure, but am leaning toward yes.

Jason, I pulled out of that deal. For what I'd end up using it for, I could just gamble a magical +2 light circlet. Jeez.. most of the gear would be pre-buffing... maybe get lucky and have a +blizzard mod on the Insight staff, to slow them down and run circles around them?

Then why do I have a + 3 ES Battle Staff Insight?
