this actually sounds like a great idea, where can I find the manual for this hero editor ?

Google d2 hero editor

Eshuta/coh build > this

Ive actually got 3 nova sorcs now.
1 traditional self weild infinirt + viper
2 enigma self weild infinitywith 2/20 amu and 2 10fcr rings (for mf purposes)
3 mang song 15%Light (just got it so didnt try it more then a few runs yet).

1 we all know how this works, great character but hard to push over 200mf (i got 209%mf)

2 actually works really good, now im super stacked with skillers+life and 7mf/17 mana sc so I dont know how good this is without. U loose 1 skill in total vs traditional viper build since u cant wear 2xsoj but enigma got +1 vs viper. The thing I really like about this except the mf part is that u actually gain a lot of life from enigma when u kill something. Great build and can really recommend it if u got good items, but u need a 2/20 amu for it too work. Got 295%mf Could push this even further but I havent found good fcr rings with much mf yet (7 + 13)

3 Just tried a few runs, baal etc and on 1 player it works perfectly fine. Sweeps everything without any mana issues. I can almost guarantee it kills baal faster then traditional self weild but Ive tried it too few times to actually be sure. The thing is I actually got lower mf then build 2 but since I use 2 soj instead of fcr + mf rings and Mangs instead of infinity (30mf). Mb its ok to socket an ist then u only loose the rings but idk if u want to put 5/5 facet instead for max dmg.

hey thanks a lot for this !

you make me wanna try number 2 ^^

right know I just got to the point of classic build number 1 with +3 light/10fc and 2 sojs but I have absolutely no resist and poisons at -4res is currently an issue (I don't have all of the 7mf/res or 7mf mana etc, can"t yet afford that) --> 130mf and no res... I also sometimes get one shot in act5 (or maybe 2-3 hits in barely a second) despite being at 95% ES . I am also missing fhr, don't have any basically. I do more than enough damage and haven't socketed my griffon nor my viper yet, wanted to know what to put in those and I am thinking jewel 30psn res or 15all.

Don't really know what to improve right now, as the sc 7mf/ ... are still out of my wallet range.

Is number 2 build with Enigma more "viable" in terms of surviving or similar to 1 ?

would love to hear more on number 3 once you'll get a clearer impression !

I can handle 8player with #2 build so I would say its really good. U will have super bad resistance but since ES dont care about resistance it doesnt really matter. Its the poison thats the thing and for that u got cure on merc. I would say its similar in terms of surviving, mb a bit better since u gain life from killing.

What types of monster kills u? I feel unkillable if im not running in to a soul gang not prepared for them.

Ill make sure to update u about #3

usually the ones killing me except souls are a group ou fast snakes with with their bone (or magical ?) spears , also the act5 Lords and their frenzy. I also sometimes am very close to bite the dust with the chaos sanctuary "flame thrower". I have 2400 mana now that I have 2 sojs. Thing is I could p improve my gameplay because sometimes I jump right in the middle of these tough guys and casting once or twice static before nova ends up being my cause of death (no stopping their attacks fast enough) , maybe I should avoid casting static in some cases if I see they have a damage increase aura for example ?

how much poison res do you have with build 1 and 2 ? currently with -5% my life is dropping very fast even with triple heal aura (used to be much more manageable with Mara and 2 * 15all GC instead of 3light skill and sojs). Probably just need to socket my viper with 30psn res jewel for starters. if not enough remove 1 or 2 skillers to put back my 15all GC. But then I won't be at 95%es anymore I never experienced such a build which is awesome but so delicate on gear changes ^^

I play about the same tbh but I never stat before cause nova stuns enemies as well.

#1
Fr = +17
Cr = +17
Lr = -29
Pr = +17

#2
Fr = -36
Cr = -28
Lr = -100
Pr =-36

I really dont think resistance matter tbh. I am doing split mf runs now with #2, 8player game and I do worldstone + baal alone without any problem. Sure Baal is slow to kill but thats the downside of being a nova sorc. The only mobs I avoid in 8 player games are souls, just not worth it.

thanks for the inputs ; I'll try resisting to use static (makes killing so much faster, doesn't stunt) and start Nova right away to see if I stop dying.

How much mana and life do you have ?
Do you agree that with PR -36 your life actually goes down pretty fast ?

Its also cause im too lazy to stat all the time tbh I do it on the waves at baal etc but almost never at regular mobs.

Sometimes yes but as long as I kill stuff it gives me life and usually goes away pretty fast due to cure.

I got 9xx life dont remember mana but mb around 2,5k-2,6k with enigma build i think
