30/30
Magi facet
Phoenix
3/20 2 facet circ
Mages
Arach
Aldurs
2/15+ ammy
Sojs

Merc
Infinity
Flickering flame
Armor is irrelevant. Coh gives some leech which adds survivability but it’s by no means necessary

Flickering flame/fcr ring setups do less damage than 3/20 sojs

Recommending any build with eschutas and ormus also must be a joke

Full vit, 436 points in including +vit mods (looks like 379 hard points). I usually end up with about 2050 life with level 12 BO.

If you can afford a 3/20 2os, sure - but not everyone can - FF is much cheaper.

Also, lol - try not to take yourself so seriously. ;)

If you choose to build a fire sorc (and want it to be viable) you have to accept that it is going to be pretty much the most expensive pvm character out there

No reason to go halfway

Idk that it's the most expensive PVM character out there, but sure.

I suggested the Eschuta's/Ormus swap as a slumming it option since they already have both of those, and it honestly does fine in P8 - I'd been using both for weeks before I made the facet stick.
