I also have a couple quick FOH questions made one for the first time and more PVM myself

1. With running conviction for -resists you don’t need a lightning sunder charm correct? But would a magic sunder charm be useful at all for holy bolt and magic resists ?

2. Do the Griffins Eye and Rainbow lightning jewels work the best to increase your lightning damage? I didn’t know if the +% lightning skill damage worked for FOH damage……or if more +skills was better

Thanks


1. What monsters are you running into with magic resist? I'm running hell chaos and hell baal and haven't had any issue with this

2.what I've learned is the lightning part of FoH is not the damage, rather the magic part from the holy bolt. The hard part of FoH is it's *very* area/monster specific....it only *really* works on certain monsters in certain areas, but it *really* wrecks those monsters and those areas. What I mean is, if you take FoH to cows, you're gonna have a bad time, killing 1 at a time. If you're gonna go to pit, chaos, or baal, you're gonna have a great time because of holy bolt. What I'm getting at is shako > Griff with facet.

When fighting big groups of mobs, throw FoH on them to send out the mass wave of holy bolts. When fighting smaller groups or bosses, spam holy bolt on em

Thanks for reply! I haven’t really ran into any magic resistance yet I was just curious on that

Ya cows aren’t as much fun with FOH lol I just didn’t know how the lightning damage worked with like the Griffons+Facet if that was more of a PvP thing cause if you get a perfect or close with helm+jewel it’s still +1 skills then +20% lightning damage and that seems like a nice boost. Does that +% lightning damage work with the FOH or is that more of a lightning sorc thing

If you're pvping, yeah I'd say Griff with light facet would be good, but if pvm, shako is better I'd say. And less expensive. The light dmg boost works on foh as well as light sorcs - its all lightning damage.

Holy bolt ignores magic resistance / immunity.

https://theamazonbasin.com/wiki/index.php?title=Holy_Bolt
Code
Only damages hostile undead, but pierces their Magic Resist: magic damage is applied as though undead have MR 0%, even when Immune to Magic.

If no eni go for 75fcr
If eni go for 125fcr

Don’t put any point into conviction if you play solo. Just run redemption all the time.

Light dmg is useless so shako >
