u use
eni mp lets say 1 k def
nw 350 def
eth sands 250 def
double upped mages 98 def max
arach 120 def
even spirit has about 140
total of about 2 k def
why u dont use an armor of the cold tree, i guess +140% def
so about 5 k def possible with 2 points "wasted"
have u ever found out that it doesnt matter if u have 17 k fireball or 15 k (well even 5 k is enough for cold imunes with infinity merc)
monsters still fall the same
do u have cbf?
merc
ever thought of a difiance merc? (if this is the one who raises defense)
Thx for the input !
You can "waste" 2 pts for 1 hard into Shiver armor.
Personnaly, I have a +5shiver orb that I seldom use for precast.
From experience, I nearly never been hitten, because fast kills from distance.
With such hybrid, you would clean areas instead of blind tele just to mf at some Bosses.
Well that's the way I play. And I dont think it's a waste of time : some seconds more to clean all, and more drops in the end.
If you would only tele to bosses, then lowering your fb to get shiver armor would be a good choice.
But you should also consider other builds if doing that.
For the same reason, I dont have CbF. If you love it, then Cham your NW.
And again for the same reason, I dont have defiance merc.
I've already tried him (I've tried all act2 merc).
Your defense boost is pretty useless to you, and for his surviviability, you would prefer might (better damages= better leech), or Holy freeze (slower monsters = less hit taken).

It will sound naive, but with 5K fb, monsters will fall 3 times slower than with 15K...
Seriously in solo hell games, 5K is not a problem.
But when facing some huge boss in 8 players, 17K is not a waste.
And infinity will not drop res to -100%, many hell monsters have 50+% base fire res...
