I know its the wrong place but I hope i get some help.

Im running classic shako, 3pc tal set, oculus, wt, chances, 2fcr rings sorceress with fireball. But i dont like it at all.

Can i make it work in hell p1 mostly, with a light sunder, playing with nova?

Thanks guys

Yeah it will definitely work, just will struggle with lighting enchanted TZs and immunes.

on P1-P3 for sure. I've done it before.
Cmoon -35
Sunder -10
Vmagi -10
Shako -5

95 resist -65 = immunes have 30 resist only, infinity full bis only gives an extra 35 ish on average. So really its only a few extra novas you have to cast. without infinity or griff.

Full bis = static entire room + 1 or 2 nova on p8
Cmoon/Griff = static entire room 3-4 nova on p8
cmoon only with facets everywehre = static entire room 2-3 nova on p3, they melt on p1 anyways

Good MF and good mana pool with a shako and spirit tbh
not ideal but it does work
Vita light is gonna be way better for bosses and heralds tho
