How much life/mana an ES budget nova sorc must have as a minimum to safe farm hell p8?

Considering using self wield infinity and insight/cure prayer merc.

Es and budget don't exist. You'll get smoked in p8 without good gear. You can budget on p1, maybe p3, but thats about it.

hum.. and not budget?

I'm thinking about: infy, vmage, arach, sojs, magefist, crappy 2/10 amu, wt and griff.

how much life/mana as minimum?

wtf how is griff and infinity a budget build? Life doesn't really matter if you have max mdr from vmagi and max psn resist. As long as you have a decent cta, you'll be sitting at around 1k life with optimal gear.
i'd say anything more than 2.5k mana is plenty as long as you're paying attention it will be hard to get bursted with that much.

ya, not budget budget, nice rws with shitty rolls are my goal. And plain skillers on invi.

so 1k life is the goal? because on maxroll I get about 500 life if I don't put any points in vit.Spreading vit/ene, I can get 1k life and 2.2k mana. I guess it will work.

Do not spread vit go pure energy. You'll have over 500 life with bo.

1k is not a goal per se. It's just what you'll likely have with standard setup and good bo.
Life is not really important with es

look: https://maxroll.gg/d2/d2planner/gz01064o

maybe I screwed up somewhere or maxroll isn't trustable?

It looks fine. I'd rather use silkweaves than wt until you get good crafted or rare pair with plr. You're gonna need to max out psn res with your scs instead of just the plain mf ones too.

tyy
I think I can search for a rare/crafted pair with mf, plr and mana maybe, if not too expensive
thx for inputs, bro
