The only section which in my opinion needs improving is the strategies section. Try finding some people with actual skill instead of today's pubs. happy.gif


Yes, I could do that.
I might've explained it a bit bad but these are the general tactics that has worked for me through the time i've played this character. smile.gif

The use of Nova+Lightning is a dangerous combo. Just Nova is a bit weak versus some chars such as Hdins which probably has a lot of stacked resistance.

in my opinion there is one part .. you should better use 3light 100life(or with any useful add, like fcr so you can use bloodfists instead of magefists) 2sox tiara w/ two facets .. gives lot more damage + you have infinity so you dont really need -light res from infy


I would not trade in Magefists for any gloves. Mages gives us plenty of Mana Reg which is important. I dont see the reason why to use a 3 Light 100 Life Amulet. If you're aiming for 95 ES, life is not very neccesairy.
I also strongly believe that Griffons will deal more damage than a 2 Soc Helm with 2 Facets.

1) i didnt say anything about amulet
2) 3light/20fcr/2sockets tiara/diadem gives more damage than griffon
3) magefists aren't necassary .. frosts give more mana for an example .. bloodfists gives some life + much fhr .. i prefer these to mana regen since it's massive anyway

PS! I know this is your guide, sorry for different suggestions but it would be better in that way in my opinion

Oh, I assumed that you were. My mistake.
Have you tried it out? If a 3/20/2 deals more damage than Griffons?
Sure, you could trade in Magefist for Frosts, but then you'd have to find a 20 Fcr Amulet, which is even more difficult than finding a 10 Fcr. But then again, Mages gives 1 to Fire Skills, which gives even more Mana Reg so I think It'll be quite the same. And therefore Mages are better since a 10 Fcr Amulet is easier to find then a 20 Fcr.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Nono, I like that youre giving gear suggestions. Constructive critisism is always welcome smile.gif

1) yes, i have tried 3/20/2 with facets .. Gave like 4k more damage to lightning with 1 facet
2) if you would use 3/20/2 then you wont need 20 fcr amulet since 20fcr come from helmet ..

Ah, okey, I didnt know that.
Are you still talking about changing gloves or just the helmet?
Im getting a bit confused here..
