You're at 101 FCR there
Get a 35 spirit, or get a single fcr ring for cheap.
Youre a ranged char unless you're playing on hc do not get max block. Pure Vita

Hey

I think that low life is one of main problems here. I remember having similar max block lightning sorc with life less than 1k, it was dying very often. After changing many things I finally got about 3.4k life with max block and CtA 6, it was almost impossible to die in PvM. Although my char was filled with life/mana small charms, and it would not work without these. Which kind of charms are you planning to use, skillers or 7% mf?

For now, I would advice as others, from my experience it is not good idea to sacrifice so much life for max block without inventory filled with life charms. I also agree that spirit 35 fcr is important for 105 fcr bp. Where do you play? If it is Europe softcore ladder/nonladder, then we could meet in game today or this week, and try to improve some things.

so i got a fcr of 81. with which changes does it go up to 105?

You have 101 fcr with arachs. Need a perfect 35 fcr spirit shield or one fcr ring.

new stats:
str: enough to wear everything
dex: should i go up to 75% block chance?
vit: rest
energy: none.

You will want 156 str - no dex - no energy - the rest into vita.

Skill points look good

Thank you all for your advices.

So thetarget gear will look like:

CoH

Maras
Magefist
war traveler
arach
2x nagel
torch
anni

so i got a fcr of 81. with which changes does it go up to 105?

merc:
insight
andy
treachery

after full equiped I will reset my stats.
stats atm:
str: 181
dex: 179
vita: 208 (without cta 667 life)
energy: 62 (without cta 662 mana)

new stats:
str: enough to wear everything
dex: should i go up to 75% block chance?
vit: rest
energy: none.

res:
35, 70, 70, 70

skills:

20 frozen orb
6 cold mastery

light:
1 teleport
1 static field

fire:
1 warmth
20 meteor
20 fire ball
13 fire mastery (rest in fire mastery and then fire bolt)

sounds like a plan?
do you guys have any changes?

Honestly, I would use full Tal rasha setup with 35fcr spirit and magefists.

Until you can afford Infinity for your mercenary, Insight is a good choice. Be sure he's a prayer merc (synergy with Insight).

I would suggest using hoto, your char already has a lot of mf, and in my opinion having even more mf from occulus would not change a lot due to diminishing returns. Killing speed and survivability is also important for number of drops. I hope that your games will be more successful now, in case of any questions write here, we will try to help.

you need to get the 105fcr breakpoint, by using a 35fcr spirit and magefists
you need to get 75% fire res, by doing your anya quests, getting torch and anni, and possibly aldur boots or um rune in shako or 5@ small charms
you need to get 75% light res, by doing your anya quests, getting torch and anni, and um rune in shako or 5@ small charms
you shouldn't spend any point in dex
you should get sojs, or possibly defensive rings like dwarf or wisp, instead of nagels
