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).


1. Why do you max Blades of Ice? Does the 2nd charge of PS get synergy from BoI?
2. Why do you max Fist of Fire? Isn’t it better to keep it low for better life leech?
3. I usually max Tiger Strike for better life leech and physical damage. Maybe I’m wrong?

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

Ahh, makes sense. TY for the reply.

I run BoS for the charge up phase. With 2x Greater Talon Mosaics no additional IAS is needed.
Specifically,
TS, CS, PS: Need BoS Level 2 to hit the quickest 7 FPA.
FoF, CoT, BoI: Need BoS Level 9 to hit the quickest 10 FPA.

1. Just to increase the cold damage output from BOI itself
2. I do not max it. Actually only have 1 hard point in it and it reaches lvl 26.
3. You are not wrong for doing that.
Addition to 1 and 2: There is an overflow bug. To much leech + phys damage compared to monster health means it will nullify leech total. FoF is good to control that.
