An Enchantress melee Sorceress is preferable to maxed Energy Shield. 3000 Fire damage per swipe is nothing to scoff at. With Lifesteal, adequate equipment, and a reasonable knowledge of Teleport, the Enchantress is capable of soloing Hell mode in Hardcore. Energy Shield relies too heavily on mana, which is more or less always kept at the minimum in favor of Vitality.
