15 ammy is a loss of 35% crit from highlords, which is far more impactful than the extra 350 ED to a subset of monsters you kill


teleporting faster is also great , so all the way for 125

Do we know for a fact that % damage against demon works?
I use on my HCL echoing: https://maxroll.gg/d2/d2planner/mw3dz0l7

I could potentially go Phoenix Monarch + LoH. Going from 125fcr to 75fcr
Could even get 85/74/80/30 res with Phoenix.


Yes I tested a basic weapon and then LoH vs no LoH on p8 chaos sanc against various demons. The amount of hits to kill was drastically different.

Ya honestly insight, spirit, LoH is best in my opinion. 125fcr, 90% crits, demons melt, huge QoL for teleport w meditation.

Also you dont want Phoenix because you want to Hork the Heralds yuletide caroles.

to be fair, ive played lock a lot with every weapon setup, including the insight setup (which I think is actually best overall), and nothign is tanky once my heph puts the amp curse on. it is purely academic


I haven't tried a lot for weapons but i agree that insight might be best overall. 46% crit strike from the +6 critical strike, 35 fcr is king, and the meditation means u can teleport long distances more comfortably. I am also using LOH and i wreck. I clear as fast as any video I have seen. tier 1 heralds in under 2 seconds. All on p8

Tested it just now in p8 chaos and trav, it's definitely noticeable

I'm playing SSF single player, but looking at builds, it looks like you can use LOH, Shako with Dmg gem in it, and Ars du mephistos with an UM rune in it and still hit 125 fcr with 20 fcr ammy and dual fcr leech rings.

with Insight, crit is about 75%, and with a highlords its only 85% so it only really adds 10% effective crit. Not a big deal to lose tbh if you use an insight. I guess if you use a fortitude youd probably want the highlords too. Seems like way better with insight.

I guess also if you wanted to use some other ammy you could use 20 fcr helm like coven runeword but youd lose out on the 22 resist from ars cause youd put the dmg gem in there.
