you'll mostly use "omg, mana burn" or "omg, lag" skills while playing ES sorc. I never saw ES sorc that admited dying being a noob.
Few hints:
1) All attacks except psn skip negate/positive res, so it doesn't matter if you have 75% or -100% fire res, damage to your shield will be always Full aka 0%res
2) PSN hits you directly, not ES so you'll eventually have "always-1-hit-point" as you want to max energy only, not vita. Keep as high as possible psn res, reduction, antidotes.
3) mana burn is insta death, always. First you're completely mana drained then you're stuck bcos any noob can do more than 1/12 of your hp(need FHR as high as possible to avoid stun, but you'll die).
4)If you tele into pack of mobs you say "fuck, lag" when you die.

is base 100vit worth it for ES?
go 5 vita, I've seen several 5 vita es and they were good. Just don't die to rats outside town, rest is easy.
