I currently have a 120 fcr sorc (CL/Lightning) which is now closing in on 1k CS+baal runs without any incidents.

The problem
The runs are simply too slow (goal is to reach lvl99). The main problem seem to be Storm Casters in CS, where the merc isn't close enough all the time, thus making the sorc just lighning one monster for 5+ seconds without any effect. The radius is simply too small for the merc conv aura.

Solution?
Restat to a 200fcr Nova sorc, and do fast diablos instead (only seals+uniques+diablo) and then baal's as usual.
My idea is to switch gear to either upped viper+10fcr amu or nova ormus+20fcr amu. However, this means that my survivability will drop somewhat for 2 reasons: 1) less resist (skipping coh) and 2) less vitality and frozen armor points (because we need 2x fcr rings, and because of this probably few points into warmth + some to energy. Another option is to keep 1xSOJ/bk and go for 20fcr+viper

This should be the fastest(?) char to do chaos at least...Gonna try it!

Experiences/toughts/tips/recommendations?


use the skill called teleport, i guess

Your point for Nova is to tp close to them
Tp close to then anyway and let your merc handle

Or configure your bot to skip them

Uh, why not telestomp light immuns? Merc will kill them. With 200 fcr nova sorc you will have mana issues.

I heard nova sorc uses Charged Bolt to deal with bosses. Maybe try this.

what is better for nova - spirit monarch or jmod 4x light rbf?

i guess jmod is more riskful, but faster kills?
