I have a light sorc which used hoto.. I happen to have enough resist to I switched with eschuta's temper which has same amount of skill and 20% more light damage. This should give me a damage increase but not according to character screen. so.. Is character screen lying on this as well?

you not have extra damage at all?

20%extra light should work same as 20/12= +1.67 sks to light mastery

+20% SLD as an additive to your 'Lightning Mastery' passive skill.

The character screen shows the damage in the thousands. Presumably, your damage is high enough to have +20% SLD add only slightly more damage (measured in the lower hundreds) to have the XX thousand count remain the same.

E.G - With HoTo "1-30K" (1-30,300)
With Eschuta's Temper "1-30K" (1-30,495)

could be minimal increase so would still show up as say 17k, but if you hover on to actual skill it will display a change

hence why seriously eschuta sucks, because you might be better off with the RL, mana increase, dex and stack res hoto provides

ofc.

what do you think I should use on my respeced sosa?
I was thinking:
3/20/2 helmet
hoto
viper
2 sojs

this gives me 90 fcr so fare

belt can be arach or dungo.
gloves can be magefist or bloodfist

I will probably use maras for amulet

shield can be spirit, storm or the block shield

I know the breakpoint is 117 fcr for lightning and chain lightning but I might go with 105.. I teleport more than I actually shoot.. dunno yet. depends on what I have to give up

dream stats would be 50 % dr, max block, max resist, 117 fcr, enough mana and gozu damage..

maybe:
stormshield
viper
hoto
magefist
arach
2 sojs
3/20/2 helmet
maras amulet of 3/10 light amulet etc

this gives.. 35 dr and 4 possible sockets for dr.. 110 fcr, 105 all res before charms, quests and sockets. ++ res from stormshield and boots maybe.. maybe not so much fhr :S ..
I can get 117 fcr if I use 3/10 amulet.. I can also hit max res for fire, light, cold if I use gozu anni and torch + anya quests etc. not sure about life and mana.. haven't even looked at damage :D

what do you guys think??

But its still nice to have 25% more light dmg and -5% more elr. Still boost up killing speed by a little bit. This is the reason why sorc's use eschutas and use coh over enigma for the resist.
