I nulled my vote because it depends...

If u like to randomly die to fanta aura spirits or other mana drain packs as nova.

or

Never die as light+chain sorc and still fast. Chain to clear. Lite for bosses. Set light to left click skill. Put chain on right click and enable active skill use. This increases speed for hdins and light sorc dramatically.

but, speed will always go to nova. At the cost of death chance.

my opinion is purely PvM only. I've tested like 20 gear setups for each or more.

Never die as nova sorc and still fast. Nova to clear. Static for bosses. Set nova to left click skill. Put nova on right click and enable active skill use. This increases speed for hdins and nova sorc dramatically.

but, speed will always go to nova. At a zero cost of death chance.

Like a lightning sorc will survive that… nova is much more tanky than vita light

I prefer the cola aura spirits.

@OP

Properly built lightning sorc with enigma and maek for rushing, throne room, dest key farming and Baal essense. You can load her with 200mf no problem.

Nova sorc self wield infinity with insight/prayer/cure merc for TZ and every other area that doesn't contain souls, life mana curse and sudden dot damage explosion (infector at p8 sometimes gets the nova sorc).

And, if you play HC choose nova sorc, very good for the economy Borat said.
