I’ve tried the gear below on a fireball sorc:
- 30/30 fire rainbow jewel’d sword
- Phoenix shield
- Flickering Flame helm
- Vipermagi armor (socketed with 5/5 fire)
- Magefists
- 2/15 amulet
- SOJ / 10 FCR ring
- Sandtrek boots
The damage / clearpseed is great. I struggle with staying alive more so than most other builds as I can’t take a serious hit, or multiple hits.
Any advice appreciated. I did pure vita after using stats to equip gear. I would be curious if anyone has tried max block, or any other set up with success.
you're at 95 fcr with that build. replace soj with another fcr ring to reach the 105 bp
res charms in inv, potentially a rare boot with mf and light/cold res
I wouldn't advice anyone to do es as that'll likely only leave you with mana issues and a lack of damage. max block is a big no-no.

Is 30/30 really that much better than eschutas? It's just all the negative enemy fire resist that makes it slap?
a -30/+xx wep is almost the equivalent of having another two infy mercs. your base damage is already high on an fb sorc so all of your actual damage output comes from reducing mob resistances
eschuta does, well, nothing. +3 sks and a tiny boost to your fire mastery is nothing compared to a -30/+xx wep. try it out yourself
