It’s funny that out of all the amor I’ve tried for this character the duriels shell works the very best for protection, I upgraded mine to great haubrek , the def doubled 1439
I have an

Ormus robe for added cold skill damage and -enemy res but it’s such low def I don’t stand a chance in level 92 tz

I've tried several shields, and Phoenix seems to work the best for me.

I’ll try one

I just may put cold facet or frost jewel in it for added damages

From your posts, it seems you are kinda new-ish to D2? (Sorry if I'm wrong)


I'm not sure if you know how defense works in diablo: defense only reduce the chance for you to be hit (by physical attacks) it DOESN'T reduce the damage you take from each hit. Even with low defense, being a sorceress (mobile and ranged character) + having a frost armor (boosting your def a bit), you should be able to survive with

Ormus.
If anything having more fcr would make you more safe, as you could

Teleport out of harm's way faster.

Der doesn't really matter for a sorc in PvM. It's the res and life from

Duriel's that help you out. Have you considered Chains of Honor or viper skin?

Wow that last sheild must be incredibly rare csnt find one for sale anywhere

It's similarly rare as a JMoD but less sought after.

I found like 12 currently on sale (across all modes, though) on this other trading site, starting as low as 5

Jah for one.

for me (blizzard)

Ormus is BiS. You need good resists (mainly lightning) and make sure you hit the fcr breakpoint (63 I think), maybe fill up some 5fcr small charms. You souldnt get hit at all excpet if you miss-

Teleport, then fcr and life pool is important to get out of there. CtA on swap gets you to 99% undyable
