hey i have always liked playing a sorceress since i simply cannot play without teleport and well if you dont have an enigma its the only way to go

could you guys help me to find the best soso gear setup to clear cs/nihla/baal in full games

right now i am using the following setup
griffon
maras
eschu
coh
spirit
bloodfist
soj
arach
soj
aldurs

-> reaching:
25867-10268 damage with lightning/chainlightning
-20% light res enemy from griffon
175 @
120 fcr
1892 life with bo
923 mana with bo
25 mf
85 fhr

well the killspeed is kinda good i dont know if it can be any better but i am lacking mf
would it be much slower if i use something like shako/occu? i like griffon but shako is the most op thing in pvm?

i got pretty much every item that comes to mind in stash to switch - hoto/shako/tal set/wizzy/magefist/hotspur/wts/...

thanks for your advice guys

you are able to carry 8ppl games solo already

put facets into griffon/eschuta




p.s.: shako for noobs

well i can clear 8p games yes but its slow of course

i will put rbfs in those when i figured out whats the best setup ty

but shako is op? -.-

Change eschuta for Hoto, then you can change CoH for Enigma (way more life and MF)

Be sure to get a 32+fcr spirit, then you can use gloves or boots for MF and the other to cover the lack of fire res (war travelers + LoH (only for the 50fr) or chancies + aldurs, or use both chancies and WT and get some 11fr charms maybe with mf too).

Put a facet in griffon, get a Gheed and that all the mf you need, you can add some more with some small charms, getting some skillers would be a good idea if you play a lot 8p games solo.

im interested in this topic as well.

I'm also using griffons but i socketed with 5/5 jewel.... I'm wondering if shako would be better b/c of the +skills or griffons with the light reduction and damage....

do you have any light skillers?

griffon is even better than 2x shako on the same char (in case of dmg oriented build ofc), although shako is more balanced for mf

-25 res mod provides u with huge dmg boost against immunes, what will slow u up much w/o this item

yeah and the frw of eni is good for towntime but why is every guide using coh on soso?
eschu must be so much better then hoto damage (killspeed) wise?

actually mf wise i really like this build - pretty much the same killspeed or coh setup better?

just out of curiousity does the -light res of infi merc affect my damage as well? like griffons?

it is way more easier to get high all res with coh, with eni u will need many special charms to balance ur char

coh is just simple and effective item



merc's -res affect only merc's attacks



faceted eschuta will give u more dmg, but hoto is cheaper, way more balanced and provides you with higher amount of mana

in conclusion, i'd say like this:

hoto/coh - more like defensive items

eschu/eni - offensive

hey kronos

i got like 7 mana more (927) with hoto instead of only 25ene eschu yes hoto is cheaper but maybe use like 5/4 level if you cant afford 5/5 its only a little more expensive then a soolid 37+res hoto

about coh/eni yes res is a problem of course - you got like maras/spirit/boots/torch/anni 30+35+x+20 + malah 30 = 115 + maybe hoto instead of eschu = 150@
so i need like 25 fire/light of charms and kill maybe slower with hoto

so if mercs damage doesnt affect why not build a orb or blizzard sorc? cold mastery sucks cause it cant break immunities so lightning mastery wins?

my soso get 41 more mana benefit

yes, u can use lower facet (note that u will need -res more than +dmg), but why? u have 1.3k fg



and yes, thats why many ppl prefer hoto over eschu:

its easier to balance your char even with eni in cost of only minor dmg loss


but, conviction from merc will greatly increase effectiveness of light soso
