Does this stack?

Could you realistically use one on yourself instead of spirit and 2 on a barb for -105% lightning resist?
Obviously you won't be breaking lightning immunes like you would with infinity but you can 1-shot shit
really quickly by dropping resists down to nothing early on.

50 Wiz spike
30 Viper magi
35 spirit monarch
20 magefist
15-20 fcr neck (crafted or uniquie)
20 fcr circlet/hat
20 fcr ring x2
10 fcr belt

merc:
Tal's helmet
Treachury
Crescent Moon sword x2

Would this 200 Fcr build work? If so would this build not just completely demolish Countess, Andy, Mephisto and lightning farming areas?
There's a lot of room for improvement and you can get early-on amulets for crafting from lvl 85 areas instead of gambling for them.
Same with belts. Everything in this build is around Lem/Pul/Um range and I can't imagine anything on this list being difficult to find.

Upgrades:
Griffon's Eye + Arachnids Mesh + isted occy (need all 3 together w/20 fcr neck)
Better crafted neck
Better rare circlet
Better rare rings

no. -res only works for the char wielding the item. dmg from your char would benefit from -35 lr, attacks from your merc would benefit from -70 lr

Thank pixi, that's great advice. Glad you went above and beyond and explained the conceptualization behind it.

Would it be wise for a sorc herself to use infinity for the -resist?

depends on build. Nova yes (necessary!), because you really need the additional -(45-55) lr from info and can reach 105fcr with no fcr from shield/weapon slo without sacrificing good gear. lightning not so much, because the dmg is naturally higher (conviction aura from merc infi is enough)

Useful? Yes. Recommend it? No.

My Nova/Fire Ball hybrid Sorc last ladder was using Crescent Moon Zerker and Phoenix Mon. Shield is too good to lose.

If I had to use Infinity on Sorc, then I'd make one with non-eth polearm.

infy is bis on nova. allows you to have an insight merc, which makes you almost immortal

it works on a light sorc, but getting 117 fcr is rough. you're better off just using cmoon so you can use spirit monarch

btw that nova/fb phoenix guy is absolutely clueless :rofl:
