You rather spent the point to warmth but not ES?


yes, that was, what chatGPT suggested (and some builds I found also told me to do)
but now its fine.. just the question about the restist is still kinda not 100% clear -> do I need all res at all or is poison the only relevant res as mentioned before?

I checked many build guides and asked chatGPT. I am really surprised chatGPT did fall to the less common builds that say no more points into ES than the most others with ES max..
so u agree with Dolphy I dont need res? At least I didnt spent statpoints on vita :rofl:


Yes. Res is irrelevant, except poison. Max ES (as close to 95% absorb as you can get) is the key.

I like to put Sol in viper but I see you play SC, so probably don’t need it.

Prayer cure insight coh merc.

what a weird question. why should my age matter in this regard?

I am old enough to know that does AI-craps output has to be checked twice. but thats the point, there were several builds confirming this bs..

Hi all.
I am kinda disappointed of my actual nova sorc. I am so squchy I die almost everywhere, even (thats what I think) I am pretty okay geared.
I use:
- griffons
- viper
- infinity scythe
- 2x 10fcr ring
- frostburns
- trires boots
- arach
- anni
- torch
- atm my temp mana fcr amu (at lvl 94 I ll use a +2allsk +16fcr +mana crafted amu)
- inventory with mana and res charms

with an insight merc

i have all res around 60, almost 2k mana, 105fcr, do decent dmg...
but without any chance to tank anything.

what am I doing wrong?
Any suggestions?


Edit: skills maxed: nova, staticfield, telekinesis, lightningmastery
1 in ES
1 in frozen armor, others in warmth (I am lvl 92 atm)

Edit no2:
Thanks guys, the NO ES max was almost the core problem. With my lvl and without sojs and sks I get it to 80% dmg absorb, thats okay, feels much better. I also adjusted my merc -> prayer very helpful
All other options will come with time..

then if you are old enough to misstrust AI, why using it as a reference, do your homework or just read the skill tree and make a conclusion

AI reads builds from reedit, and thats it

nova sorc is old school. portal barb is the new nov sorc. more aoe, better health pool, manaless spellcasting, etc. only issue is the teleport. same frames.
