Because teleport is the best skill in the game.
Forget about physical dmg if you are not using some sick rare javelins and some 3/20/20s. Inifinity removes immunes anyway

With piercing and only some maek and ml you should not be lacking in mana. You really dont need to spam that shit because monstrrs dies so quickly. Better positioning with teleport actually helps with this too

People dont like Phoenix because there are multiple better options for every build in the game. Worst single thing is the firestorm proc wich is not that big deal on java tho

Soj and or silkweave if you need mana

what i ask myself: if i'd use phoenix, would it be enough for mana while not having mana leech or maek? remember: just CS/BAAL

Yes.

Obv.

alrght, then soj/bk should be my choice - in case i use phoenix, not sure yet. but the +1 should be much more useful than any other ring adds in this case, right? sorry, paused for 5 yrs ^^

BK that is. You dont need a soj or fcr ring because you are not getting decent fcr anyway. Spirit is +1 over Phoenix+BK or even +2 if you do not need fcr from the ring slot! Imagine how great that is.

i guess at least one raven is useful, due to its dex + no freeze. you dont think so?

first ring is raven because cbf
2nd ring is soj
belt is razortail
boots are silks if you have mana issues, else aldurs

trecks are bad
gores are bad (ow is completely irrelevant, ranged cb is only half as effective as melee cb, and ds isn't good because you already have crit and your physical dmg is very low anyways)
if you use pheonix and it doesn't solve your mana problem then why are you using phoenix
you could get a 20/20 monarch and hit 50 to 100% harder, that seems like a better idea

razor soj (or fcr ring)
boots dual or triple resist (nn cold if ss)
shield main storm or spirit or jmod 20/20
use phoenix on switch for mana issues

thx a lot guys. another question: how important is ias? some people told me to use maras + 5/5 die in griffon, others say highlords and 15 ias + 15@/ed jewel in griffon. what do you think?
