Nose

The following is a build for PvP hydra sorcs, which are grossly underrated and disrespected. Do not attempt to modify this build for pvm, as it sucks past nightmare due to fire immunes.
 
Stats-
 Strength- As much as needed to wear gear, over 80 is not advisable.
Dexterity- Enough to have maximum block, or just enough to use gear, you're choice.
Vitality- As much as possible.
Energy-None, unless you want to have E-shield, in which case around 100 or so, depending on your gear you could go more or less.
 
Skills-
 
MAX: Fireball, Firebolt, Fire mastery, and hydra
As much aspossible in: Meteor (you could max it if you got to lvl 94 but good luck doing that) 
1 point in: teleport, prerequisites to above mentioned skills.
 
Notes on other skills-
 
cold armors: do notspend points to get these, use only if you have on weapon switch as they are not all that beneficial.
static: this is a PvM skill and is therefore useless for this build.
e-shield: you could use this onweapon switch, but it would require high lvl warmth and mana through your gear, and possibly stat points.
 
Gear-
First and foremost, get 63% fcr, at the least. If you can hit 105% fcr, and if youfeel like it, or the situation calls for it, get 200% fcr for the final BP.
 
Second, but almost as important, are your resists. You need to stack them depending on what type of person(s) you aredueling.
 
Thirdly we have fhr. You must be speedy, and being locked up does not suit any sorc anyways. Go for 86% fhr. If you can, get 142%, but 86% is probably enough.
 
The remaining gear statsare prioritized as follows: life, +skills, mana, faster run/walk.
 
Dueling strategies:
Vs. Meleers- Always cast your hydras ontop of you, along with meteors, and get decent block. If they have toomuch res/life to get locked up by hydras, teleport behind them when they ww/charge/run towards you, then when they come back at you teleport back onto your hydras. If they decide to circle you to...
