Very nice guide!

Some notes:

FHR: Tal set + spirit gives you 80 fhr (25+55), so only need 6 points more for the bp. Why not aim for it, if it's so cheap?

SA: You suggested not to use shiver armor with a holy freeze merc. I tried both and I found that my sorc needs way fewer potions if combined. Especially if you have a shitty net connection... :(

Merc items: I use a reapers toll with cot, which gives him so much life leach, that my merc can easily stay alive. Socketing it with an ias/dmg jewel the dmg is nice also (ignore target's defense mod).
The mana with magefist + 1 soj + raven+ cta is enough so no need for insight, but for someone with mana problems i liked your insight tresher idea.

Rings: I like to use a raven for the mana and can not be frozen mod, but wisp is a good idea for the souls indeed. Will keep in stash if needed.

FHR is unnecessary, regardless of Breakpoint being so close.

Rings: Stone of Jordan +25% Maximum mana increment > +40 Integer mana.
CBF has no effect regarding FCR-reliant characters.

Hmmm... You're right about this. Soj or wisp seems better choice indeed than raven if using spirit and not max block.

He isn't active any more, so he's unlikely to get unbanned. And even if he was active, nigajuar is too much of a douche to admit his own mistakes, as we've seen on more than one occasion already.

FHR: Well, if you decide to use treks, you'll already reach the 86 bp. But anyway, the only places where this bp is actually to be considered are CS and WSK+Throne.
SA: I never use any of the cold armors, since even if I put skill points in them I usually forget to cast them anyway. I usually found a holy freeze merc to provide enough safety, so I didn't really need the armors. But sure, if you like to have a little bit extra, use them.
The insight is also nice in case you accidentally tele into a mana burn mob, which can be dangerous since you lose your teleport when a monster with mb hits.
If you go with R-Toll IAS'd, I'd suggest Treachery + guillaume's IAS'd (for more damage)/Andy 'Cham' (life leech and CBF). With both of those setups you'll hit the 75IAS bp.

a ) 2 x fhr/whatever SC.
b ) 7 fhr/whatever Jewel (-1 Rainbow Facet then).
c ) Don't bother, 8 frames hit recovery is sufficient for almost any situation.

Thanks for the advice, I'll check this set out definitely!

d.) skiller with 12 fhr - no extra space, all slots available for facets... :)
