the damage boost will be the same no matter the player count. if you're not interested in dealing more dmg, at least use hoto over eschuta

defender's fire (prioritize - res over + dmg) can go into whichever gear piece you want. either viper, your weapon or circ if you decide to go 3/20/2os over flickering flame

There is nothing wrong with ES fball sorc. It's actually much safer than without it and less healing. Stick to the basics, flicker flame, tal belt, tal armor, tal ammy, double soj, get a prayer merc with cure and you're set. Or just use a phoenix shield and try to hit the 105 fcr breakpoint with other means. It comes at the cost of your mf.

It's an fball sorc, it will never be nova. It's a build for andy/meph/elite killing.

how would hoto be better than eschutas i would be losing 29% fire damage and -9 (because of the defenders fire jewel) my res are already around 60 each i dont really have trouble dying to anything except souls and dolls



i tried ES and it was terrible you get hit once and no mana for anything , no mana means no killing, no killing means redemption isnt proccing.



flickering flame gives fire res aura as well you would be very devoid of fire res with a 2soc/20 circ. and still have 5% less -res for fire with 2 fire facets

+ % dmg only adds to your fire mastery so the damage is essentially the same. you can jewel your viper instead

hoto has res mana and rep, a 6x jewel weapon has massive damage, eschuta has nothing

How did you build her? It's supposed to be enough on str to equip gear and rest on energy. You also need sojs for mana pool boost.

Sorry for reviving this thread. I am starting a pvm fire sorc need some advise on the gear. I have some challenge hitting 105fcr

Weapon: 30/30 cs or eachuta facetted. Seems like everyone is suggesting 30/30
Armor: vipermagi with defender fire
Belt: arach
Glove: magefist or trangs for cold res?
Shield: pheonix
Helm: flickering flame or hell warden with facet. I cant effort magic or rare helm at the moment. Hell warden will give 20% fcr which means I can use soj or mara and still get -13 fire res but only +1 skill
Ammy: rare fcr ammy or mara
Rings: soj or fcr ring?
Charms: -10 fire sunder. Do I need fire skillers to clear p8 fast?

Also this build has no mf and res. How do I get some mf. Just want to get up to 200 mf and max res in hell

Also do I need infinity merc?
Looking for advise Thanks all!
