Dang... an 08 that doesn't explain or give an explanation to others that are trying to give advice... your advice in this quote you posted is crap... literally you are taking a dump without pulling down your pants.

200% FCR vs 105% FCR build... items worn etc... what is the difference here? It is based on PvM ONLY... NOT PvP or P1 or P3 in your reply., your reply comes from YOUR experience right??? Well... WHY?

Break it down a bit more:

P1 to P3 ... 105% FCR is MORE than enough to kill fast as $hit
P4 to P6 ... 105% FCR is MORE than enough to kill fast.
P7 to P8 ... 105% FCR is MORE than adequate to kill fast in a Group, and decent enough to kill Solo using strategies.

200% FCR is essential in SvS PvP and adjust inventory to win.
200% FCR in PvM is OVERKILL and a waste of time because the player needs to have Strategy and Hand / Eye co ordination in PvM runs to make it smoother or deal with extraneous outcomes (1 or 3% of the time out of 1,000 runs).

Basically... the OP needs to play with both setups and find what is better for themselves.


Yet again a bunch of words to say nothing useful. I’m convinced you 2 are the same person

Whatever you do don't use kiras. That taurean guy has a weird obsession with it and has posted about kiras for years.

So many words to say literally nothing useful.



Yet again a bunch of words to say nothing useful. I’m convinced you 2 are the same person


Hey hey hey ..... it's not like as i write to confuse anyone ..... i write from 15 yeras experience, maybe not with buying gear n all that ,i play from the ground up, i come from a standpoint of the working class, not the buy-all-the-gear-n-then-not-think-kind of mentality.. i like to test my way up n then know what really works.

I gotta stand with mr paragonzi in this one, op must go his/her own journey, test it all, keep an open mind, i don't take offense if he or she discards my information, i will take offense when someone else tells him or her to do that. Because i think it is not a good thing to tell someone to not listen to him or her and to listen to them or those... i never do that .. i play it straight, i give my best, then let others do the same.. if i am correct, then i am correct, if i am not, then i am not, i am happy either way. But playing the marttyr, never gets us there, we must stand strong in ourselves, shoot your best shot, then let the words stand as a testimony to your honesty, never cutting anyone else down, that is not honesty, that is sneakyness n dirty tricks, i don't use tricks, i play'em straight. Let's play it like that.

Again, hey hey .......... it's not as if i have an obsession over here ............ but it's like, kind of crazy when you mention that, because if i have an obsession with that one particular item, then i can say the same about the rich n expensive pvp bully section, all they say is grief, enigma, infinity, height level rare items, insane jewels that is hard to find .... use 100 bots to find it .... hehe, it's kind of crazy ..... kira's guardian si a very underrated item, yes i do mention it, but i've also seen the late years many others mentioning it... i know when i am good... If nothing else, it's a good option to use. Let's play it straight.

I think the general consensus is that Infinity/Obsession as primary is BIS for Nova sorc with 105 fcr breakpoint. But why not get the best of both? Infinity/Obsession as the primary with 105fcr and keep Hoto/Spirit on swap for 200fcr (with CTA in cube for prebuff). You'd get the dmg and insane tele speed on swap... am I missing something here?


Why won't this work people??!

Hey, this probably works very well, but it's labour intensive. Switching n swapping, this costs effort, n you want to upkeep the flow of the ggame. You can probably be more efficient using all the items like that. You get more done. But it's also labour intensive. Switching n swapping like that.

Here is a simple life tip for YOU... you are you, you are special, your special talents are only driven by yourself in everything YOU do in life, gaming, posting YOUR opinions, it is all about you and you're are Right, only YOU know this, that is because YOU are SPECIAL, YOU ARE YOU, JUST YOU and only YOU matter.

Well... WE, AS IN THE WHOLE POPULATION IN THE ENTIRE WORLD ARE not YOU... YOU are special, YOU are ONE OF A KIND... SPECIAL... how does that make you FEEL when someone says YOU ARE SPECIAL? ... Feel good... you are happy? Well your advise don't mean jack shit to others trying to give advice that could be beneficial for THEM... you know, the other people that AREN'T YOU

Hey thanks for the +1 ... I leave it up to you to reply for your +1 and NOT actually give advice other than ridicule some that TRY to give advice and YOU, BEING SPECIAL can not even come up with WHY YOU think some other person(s) or advice from people are wrong.

If YOU can NOT prove that YOU have better advice, how about YOU just STFU AND CUT off your fingers to STOP YOU from being a douche. Thanks... ciao baby.

@ OP ... find guides with both setups, get gear that compensate for 105% and 200% FCR for your sorc... not too hard, it is just simple swapping out items as mentioned by others... also, there are MANY builds that swap items for PRE BUFF, then switch to other gear, OR they adapt to their playstyle WITHOUT switching gear... i.e. 105% FCR ONLY as for the 200% FCR... maybe just for certain groups running areas and you are designated to be the Teleporter to a specific spot... like a simple Baal Run... you have 200% FCR ... you tele there after a BO Barb pumps up your Life / Mana before tele'ing.

These are simple things required for group runs... even if you don't have the equipment for 200% FCR, you may have to fit that role... or better a 125% FCR Paladin, or a 200% FCR Barbarian ... both of those (Paladin / Barb) can tank more damage than you and succeed.

Because I have never seen either of you post a sliver of useful information on here. Therefor I can safely assume whatever you just wrote is nonsense without wasting my time.

But when you are mentioning slivers, that's what you ate doing too, you iffer slivers of texts, yet you don't elaborate, how can you n I figured out who is right n wrong if you don't offer up more packages of information? It will always be a mystery then. That's is sad. Come on. Show me your true power. I want to know why you think I only write nonsense. You cant give up before you even made an effort.

I think my nova sorc information is spot on point. Why do you think it is not?
