you can get +teleport +eshield and on a sphere to use on your switch, and use that instead of investing points.


Right. I did mention that. Seems a little inefficient, since you have to weapon switch to teleport, and you lose your main weapon bonuses at that time. I dunno - maybe you are all button-mashing fiends, but I have enough trouble trying to switch between Charge and Zeal when I close to melee. Us old folks can't work the keyboard like you young rapscallions. (I'm almost 30 for god's sake. Arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, osteoperosis from years of mastur...y of console games, and damaged ligaments for a youth misspent not realized I sucked at skateboarding... it all adds up. Wink )

if you plan to use 5% FRW scs, use sanders boots. the extra 10% FRW will save you 2 spots for 15life scs. if you dont plan to use 5%FRW scs, use cowkings, ESPECIALLY if you;re going to get max block on your sorc. the 20 dex will help alot.


that should decide what boots you use. you shouldnt automatically use cows or sanders, but should have some reasoning behind it. usually i would use sanders, as +frw means you will be able to dodge faster. and faster is better.[/quote]

Is there some magic number of FR/W one should try to hit? I figured that, sure, more speed is better, but 5 extra stat points meant more you could put into Vitality, and with CK and the Crown you still hit a pretty fast R/W. It's a difference of 10%, which I didn't see as being worth 5 stat points. Is there a time where you'd want to sacrifice life charms for FR/W charms? Should someone "plan to use FR/W charms" in place of a few Lifers? I ask because I finally got ahold of my very first Stone of Jordan a few days ago, and that pretty much compelled me to get off my ass and build a caster, and this Fire sorc is one of two I'm considering.

well, when dueling caster vs caster, or caster vs ranged, it usually comes down to who has the best aim.

what defeats aim? faster dodge skills.

what supplies those dodge skills with faster movement? FRW.

so the more you have the better. however, id usually never sacrifise life charms for frw charms (unless it it an amazon). therefore, getting the most you can on your items is usually the route to go. as for a set #, i usually try to get around 100% FRW.

as for the teleport switch, you cant attack while you are teleporting anyways, so i dont see why losing the bonuses of your attack weapon makes a difference.

hmm...i used the shield blocking calculator on this one, and the block rate comes out at being 67...so i was just wonderin...did i use the calc wrong? or do u actually need more than 82 dex for max blockrate?

heres what i put into the calc:
Shield Blocking as Shown On Item: 60% (from visc only, 30fbr/30ictb)
Dexterity: 82
Character Level: 30

...Not with a spirit built.

18 Bolt
19 Fireball
1 Warmth
1 Telekinesis
1 Teleport
1 Fire Mastery
41 Skills

2Spirit/1Visc/1Vipermagi/2Sojs/2Circ/2Amu = 10 skills

= 2.6k with spirit built.
