Frrost Nova Sorcie - opinions please ?

Ahh, but Breastplate has a str req of 60.

Nope, only 30. Pick one up and examine it next time you're in the Act III Normal Spider Forest, AKA Breast Plate Alley. ;) (Or just check Arreat Summit.)

In fact, none of the "light" armors into which I've put Stealth in 1.10 requires as much as 60 str. Ghost Armor requires 38, Light Plate needs 41, and even Demonhide Armor demands only 50 str. (I originally made the "medium" Stealth Gothic Armor for a MA Assassin, who needed the str anyway for the desired claws, and it's now on a melee Paladin.)

Still, your point about the need for Attribute Points in Energy and Vitality is well-taken. A Frost Nova spammer would be much more Energy-intensive than the Blizzard/Fireballer and Enchantress I'm playing. And Vitality has to be high enough to keep maxlife higher than maxmana, not only because Life Is Good, but to avoid Blood Mana paralysis. :)
