Precisely my observation. It's still about a 30-40% damage increase, but feels very win-more. The damage doesn't do much to increase my clear speed. Of course, I could also just be bad at clearing.


For p1 this is most likely not necessary. But on p8 you will obviously love these 30-40%

I tried phoenix offline, in SP, before deciding to invest in it in Ladder. Didn't like it, felt clunky, whether offhand or mainhand, so decided not to invest.

Just doing the standard gear build with griffon socketed w 15IAS 3MAEK jewel, enigma, highlords, raven, spirit, fcr ring, razortail, titans, mf dual res boots, 2/20 jav gloves, etc. Max resists in hell and no mana issues. Infinity on merc of course, with eth fort, and 15 ias andy.


swap your rare boots for silkweaves. will solve all your mana issues

res on pvm java is overrated. you kill everything before you get hit

Even with just a 15ias 3maek jewel in my 20-11 griffon. No mana issues. I did use silkweaves prior to acquiring that jewel though.

And yes res is overrated in pvm, esp in p1 for jav.

Using a mancatcher, I put an 15 ias on an andy and have reached max ias, so i dont need faith on a merc.

About the res, in p1 absolutely, in p8 they dont die fast enough and especially against anything ranged i can get one shoted so i went back to forti from enigma.

Would like to get pride for the act 2 merc, but i have mana problems cause my dual leech ring is not good enough yet, so im having him use an insight for p8 lol.

Most powerful chara ive made so far i have to say, and i thought my foh/zealer was strong, but damn diablo just dissapears in 2 or 3 hits.

No need defensive items like coa on a pvm Java since you clear the screen fast.
Phoenix is a meme. Enigma is better than CoH even without tele.

Pure damage is the best build, get fire and light res from inventory. No need cold/psn res

Titans non eth non upped (keeps req low and no waiting for replenish on eth titan)
Enigma mp
Griffins -20/x socketed 15ias/15res
-20/20 monarch
Razortail
Highlords
20dex raven
Dual leech ring with str + adds
3/20 gloves (or 2/20 plus good adds)
Silkweave (can swap to aldur boots or tri res boots or other boots of choice when doing Baal runs since other players have insight)

Weapon swap
Wizzy socketed fal rune
Spirit monarch

99fcr max res on swap for tele
No need cta or get bo from a barb in partied games. Practice not getting hit and killing everything fast.

Merc
Infinity
Andy
Fort

+2 Valk with +4 MAEK is my absolute favorite. Gives a bit of FRW as well, which is always nice.
