infinity gives -45 to -55 lr if you wield it yourself, which gives a huge boost to total dmg. also you can give your merc insight so an ES nova sorc is pretty tanky

Also if u are high pints into es, res isn't really big deal, so I feel like sunder is basically free

es sorcs only care about poison res since the damage absorbed by mana (95%) doesn't take res into account

you should use sunder, you should self-wield infy and you should have an insight merc

how it works is dmg is taken to mana first, then w.e remaining dmg goes through resists, then into life

so the amount of dmg taken to ur mana wont change based on ur res
however the remaining dmg after es is calculated does get affected by res

I have -68 light res on my es nova sorc (with sunder) and she doesn’t really have issues. Obviously souls are an exception but all es nova sorcs suck against them even with light res. My lightning vita build fares better against souls since I can slap on tgod and wisp simultaneously and give myself more distance.
