Chromatics are easy to obtain if you know the vendor recipe. Any item with red-blue-green sockets all linked together will give you one. A six socket item (doesn't need to be linked) will get you 7 jeweler's orbs (used to be 10.) Those don't pop up until the 50's though.
I'm fairly certain the +100% es is local to the item. Otherwise it would say '100% increased maximum Energy Shield' like passives do. Still, the movement speed it always a good mod to have and nearly 40% mana regen is a lot for an item I believe. Cannot be frozen is great, but not as overpowered as it would seem. You can still be chilled and that can slow you down a lot. Being frozen solid and not having a flask to unfreeze you can certainly spell doom for your character. I lost my lvl ~62 ranger with 3 or so monsters on the screen due to being frozen for an extended period of time.
