Not to mention would just use hoto over this for the extra 20 FCR, wish usually means an extra 2x soj. Which ends up being 5 lightning +5 mastery over 6 lightning + 3 mastery. Which will be more or less the same damage. Not to mention hoto gives 20 rep, 40 res, 10 Dex, 15% max mana (or maybe it’s 20%. Can’t remember). All of which is vastly more than 2x 100% perfect jewels could ever provide in terms of utility.
it's always a balance on whether the 20 fcr loss is worth it or not, but i'll say that reaching the 105 bp for teleport and knowing your lightning will be a frame slower on the downswing isn't much worse (7 frames @ 117 vs 6 @ 78) since the action frame remains the same. it's sort of similar to stacking out a trapper's damage as highly as possible at the cost of fcr, but you preserve the teleport speed in this case. i think the extra damage more than makes up for that frame (though it's usually sad to lose oak charges on the weapon, of course)
that's sweet (and nice to see there's at least one still on legacy) but i was hoping to see whether one exists on D2R yet (and which other skill they had on them)
better staff mods
matching jewels
matching res
gozu minor mods
matching inventory
10/10 much betta
what happened to cmoon buddy??? you changing teams on us?
tbh not sure what to think about the value of these types of orbs now, people seem to harbor hate on lightning 3/20/3/3/X/2os as an option (despite it being an item worth making a light sorc over even if you only have the +6 to light IMO). maybe they just never tried to pvp with it? or maybe they are pissed to not see eschuta/jmod/coh shining supreme
