voulge infinity, ormus, griff, 2 soj, mara, res mana boots, frostburns

because nova is only  a 40 point tech, this allows u to max es and tk for  some mad  tankage after +light skills. My nova sorc has 95% damage to mana from es and lvl 20 tk. Merc should use insight  making u basically impossible to kill. U don't need tons of cast rate, either.


Es is terrible in pvm. But yeah, infy builds can be awesome too. You still want to hit atleast the 105% fcr bp though, if not even the 117.

I'd go for either a 105fcr full tals build, or if you want something slightly more powerful with less life/mf/res you can try
crescent moon
phoenix
griffs
vipermagi
maras
mages
arachs
some fast res boots (depends on charms, aldur or nats)
fcr ring
dwarf/wisp (depending on monsters in area, switch as needed)

cta/spirit switch

max: nova/light mastery
1 in cold armor,tele,static
max fireball, meteor, mastery and pump synergy bolt last

It's okay with insight merc and high level warmth. Nova sorc should have both

It's not. You waste lots of skillpoints while losing survivability. Use those points on another element for immunes or go with lightning instead of nova.
