I have been playing godly ES nova for a while.
105 or 200fcr Nova and aggressive telestomp play style eat though your 3.2k mana in seconds.
ES nova therefore needs insight aura merc.
To counter poison, curses and get even more life/mana regen you need Cure on merc! It is more superior to the old dusty andy + eth sacred armor combo in any imaginable way. Your sorc is the damage dealer, the one that crushes everything. If you rely on merc damage you must be doing something wrong with your build. What you really need are his auras and him just to survive. The latter one requires life leech.
With Cure helm as the new meta, CoH is going to be one of the very few and very best choices of armor with life leech. And eth 15ED lacquered plate is the top tier base for it.
+2 skills boost prayer, overstacked res, replenish life, life steal, damage reduction, mf. What other armor would even come close?
For eth Sacred Armor yor merc will never have enough Str.
Also: Cure + eth lackiered plate CoH cost fraction of high roll eth andys and eth sacred armor fortis. You simply get much more bang for less bucks.
This is pretty good info.
