You could try going vita and do lightning instead. Still not as good as blizz though

I would only go ES Nova with the very least

-res renewed crack
griffon
Cmoon
Frost burn/silkweave/soj
Lvl 90 + skillets

Str for spirit and rest in energy
That will get you easy p1-p5 ez
Even some p8 zones too

I would go vita light sorc til then (sunder + cmoon)


The difference is:

BIS Infinity = Static down + 1-2 novas
The above build = static down + 3-4 novas

I am indeed running countless as a ladder starter.

I find blizz repetitive though and I might consider trying hydra jut for the heck of it

That’ll do it. It’s not like the countess is cold & fire immune in hell…

Obviously I wouldnt be farming countess on a fire or cold build. Where do u get that? 😂 On Blizz sorc being repetitive i am referring to the fact that I have been playing into that heavily earlier

I ran blizz sorc and spammed meph from 68-80 and made like 4k FG and then bought a cheap fire sunder, rolled it into a -10 fire sunder and a cheap flickering flame and now im a fireball sorc and a fire lock or blood boil lock. normally play blizz into nova.

Notable meph drops
arachnids (kept)
tal ammy
merc gear, eth duriels, perfect vgaze (kept), etc
budget smiter gear
cold/eldritch skillers
COLD SUNDER
reapers toll
ohm rune
hellwardens -8 magic 6maek

etc

played on pc for ladder reset and then farmed a lot of meph on p1 nintendo switch while my wife and i watched tv
used a trading website to trade a lot ral/pammy for things like magefist, 4os threshers, etc
nice thing about meph is you can slam runs in like a minute if you can read the map and you can do it with 3ptopaz helm/stealth/rhyme/spirit cs. cant do chaos with that gear no sir
