Mosaic Sin
https://maxroll.gg/d2/d2planner/0ry10aw9

Gear:
Weapons: 2x Mosaic Claws. Best base is Greater Talons, +3 Phoenix strike. After that skills in this order Claws of Thunder > Blades of Ice.
Helmet: Griffon's Eye 5/-5 Lightning Facet
Armor: Enigma Mage Plate
Belt: Arachnid Mesh
Boots: Shadow Dancer
Gloves: Rare +2MA/20IAS/Stats
Amulet: 2Sin/20Fcr/Res
Ring 1: Raven Frost
Ring 2: BK or SOJ
Switch: CTA+Spirit or (if BO barb) 2x 5-6 Fade Claws

Gear Options:
If 2/20 amulet is out of the budget you can go with maras for the 45fcr BP, or 2/10 + 10fcr ring.
3/20 gloves are an excellent choice if you do not need the resistances.
If you like to hit a faster FCR BP: Magefist, 2x FCR rings, 17FCR amulet and Cham in Griffon's
Boots can be changed for 30frw/tri res if needing or wanting. If doing so, get more 12fhr MA GCs to compensate.
Claws bases can differ. You will reach different FPA BP's on either skill charging up skills or Dragon Talon.

Inventory:
Annihilus
Torch +3 Sin
Crack of the Heavens Sunder
4x MA Lifers
2x MA 12FHR
5x SC Life/5@
3x SC Life/11LR
One MA Lifer can be changed for a Gheeds

Mercenary - Act2 Defensive
Infinity Eth Mancatcher/Thresher/GT/GPA
Chains of Honor COH Eth AP
Cure Eth Corona/Spired/Demonhead/Bone Visage

Skills:
Max: Phoenix Strike > Blades of Ice > Claws of Thunder > Fade
Dragon Talon until 6 kicks (30 points). Some people like keeping this as low as possible. But I like making sure every dies in one hit.
Weapon Block until 60% block (26 points)
Fist of Fire until 75% phys is converted into fire (25 points)
Tiger strike (rest into this)

Stats:
Enough Strength and Dexterity to wear gear.
Rest into Vitality.

Charges:
+2 PS
+3 BoI, CoT, FoF, CS and TS.

Notes:
The game has a bug where life and mana leech will not take effect if these numbers equal to high: Monster Health, Leech and Damage. Fist of fire will negate this issue.
Charges last 15 seconds from last hit. So if wave 3 in Throne Room spawns Hydra you gotta hit a random monster while waiting for wave 4.
The same thing while waiting for Diablo to spawn (here you can use Mind blast on the last seal boss, I prefer just hitting a monster in River of Flame).


Why you don't go with 102fcr on mosaic?

You really should update this to include the 102 fcr setup as the main load out with the ravenfrost one as a budget option or something imo

Here's my reasoning. After doing 7x 99 sins (3x HC and 4x SC)

FCR doesn't have a direct impact on Skill DPS like it would for like a Nova Sorc or Hammerdin.

FCR (Teleport)
65 fcr = 440 ms (11 frames)
102fcr = 400 ms (10 frames)
The game is built on 25 frames = 1second. So 1 frame is equal 40ms

3sk 5/5 lightning difference between 65fcr and 102fcr build.
Lightning DPS: 55,189
Lightning DPS: 46,927

With the higher damage I'm actually seeing slightly more monsters getting killed further away from the center of the screen.
Teleporting slower might be an annoyance for some. But if I look at my gameplay over lets say a 10 hours grind, generally I do slightly less failed teleport (teleport to far or into a wall).
Though I also mostly utilize my full screen to do long teleports. Generally see people playing only teleporting half of the screen in most cases.

It really depends on your playstyle, but for me at least I get a bit less stressful gameplay and at worst equal EXP/h.

It would be different if it was only solo Baalruns and Chaosruns. Then the 10% faster teleport would be beneficial.

Normal DT IAS breakpoints = 18 or 46
BoS DT IAS breakpoint = 14
Mosaic has 20 IAS, so what's the purpose of gloves with 20IAS? For the occasional time you encounter Decrepify or Holy Freeze?


Only because it 1 frame faster per charge in the start of each game.

Thanks for all the replies. I'm currently trying Roneye's build, but I would like to try the 102 fcr build.

Where can I find the guide and gear set up?


In my guide, third row under gear options.

Not at all lol! You really cannot fuck up a Mosaic.

Majority of people recommend the 102fcr build. Based on paper or in practice I cannot tell.

Roneye is the man! Thanks for the info, I did actually try both builds out. I don't think there's enough change to notice the difference, for me at least since I don't play sin much. But I gotta say this though, the 102 fcr build is not a budget build XD.

Ahh gotcha that’s fair. I like the more stressful gameplay but I also never play for much longer than an hour so makes sense if you’re grinding for that long

Glad you see and understand my opinion on it.
And again in no way do I see my build being superior to the 102fcr build. It's just situational in this case, as so much works on Mosaic.

Well, considering you got a HC world 1st with the build, there’s a lot of credibility behind your input, not to mention you beat SC on top of it.
