Isn't it a good idea to, instead of maxing thunderstorm, focus on range attacks such as lightning? A sorc isn't really a tank you know.happy.gif

Here i was searching for a nova / es guide to get some inspiration for my rebuild smile.gif But u had the same build i went for this time.
First time i tried with the a +3 nova ormus 5/5 but i don't think the damage is so far much better to sacrifice vipermagi, gonna see how it works out this time smile.gif

fhr really that important?
i gotta shael viper/griffon/treks/ and maybe 6x 5fhr charms

can you think of other way of getting 86fhr without charms?


Fhr is important. You wouldn't want to become stuck in a druids hurricane or a assassins mind blast would you?
You can get the fhr you're way by in my opinion, doesn't matter how you get it as long as you have it. wink.gif

You know when you are about to kill someone but all of sudden they decide to run? Here's your chance to kill them.
With 4k dmg of thunderstorm, they stood no chance running. It's also fun killing some characters with just thunderstorm. laugh.gif

That's why I put the rest of my skills on lightning, for range. I did about 8.4k lightning and it was enough to knock a druids cyclone armor off or kill off another es sorcs mana.

Heh, when I was making my nova sorc people told me to use ormus. I refused, I find the vipermagi to be quite good.
And yes, with all the -enemy lightning resist + conviction, with my 3.9k thunderstorm I 1 hit k-o glass zons if they don't evade it. Also fun chasing sorcs and let thunderstorm kill them d-lol.gif

Mhm, well no-one hasn't told me anything almost, figured most out myself smile.gif


Without skillers atm, my nova with viper wyrm is : 1138 - 1534 . With ormus : 1260 - 1684, ts diffrence is 100ish~ only. And i would have to sacrifice one soj or get a 20 fcr amu =d

So survivability > the dmg imo smile.gif

Extra points is it really just preference where you want to put it?
- i was thinking putting as many on ES so no prebuffing is required... im lazy like that =)

Agreed. The ability to survive is more important than damage.
