Sounds like you really know your HC Sorceress.
Went into the thread being a bit over in the ES camp. But tipped way more into vita build right now.
With all sorts of areas with either blood curse, viper souls and high poison dmg in terror zones. Vita seems to be the best bet not to get caught off-guard?
I will add some Life + LR/FR to stack some extra resistances ty.


I learn one death at a time :lol:

Yeah, vita is more versatile and very tanky with a BO barb.

ES is better for specialized tasks, on a budget imho.

A lvl 50~ BO barb will always be with me :thumbsup:

What you think
75% block 2800 health or
50% block 3200 health.

I’d go with maxblock. 2.8k life is plenty. And, if you think about it, going from 50% block to 75% halves the amount of hits that will land on you. From 10 hits out of 20 to 5 hits out of 20, for example.

Not to discourage you but if you are thinking about the worst possible case for vita builds then I guess this is it :D
(extra strong, fana minotaurs and he was amped)


Keep in mind he had 1.9k life, 16% DR and 1.6k defense, 75% fcr ,17% fhr so much less than your build. And it was at the time when minotaurs were bugged (not sure if it played any role here). And it still took 3 hits to take him down. He had enough time to pot / tele out. But didn’t :P You can check his build in the pinned comment.

Contradictions :wacko:
Gimme more opinions!

^Barn3y_Gumble Glad to join ya superior race on HC :thumbsup:
Thanks on the dupe heads-up, will take care.



Well to be as optimal as possible.



Meta dude reporting in.


Nono! I don't think that I am superior, it's just more addictive for me xD

If u want it super save, rather go ES. But u are an experienced d2 Player - u don't need it. Also Ur gear is pretty nice as u can invest alot in the beginning.

Also check ur defence :) fhr and that with cta + lidless with prebuff staff and bo barb, u will have more dmg, more es level more mana and hp. You dont need merc to kill just to survive.

But i suggest u play with ur char in maxroll gg, Most important STATS are 105 FCR 60+ FHR, 1000 Life rest in MANA if ES, ES is better than pure vita! Resists if ES must have max poison res. Than DR 50% Block Rate, Then dmg output. You dont need tp scrolls or cube if plan to do tzones only, u clear tzone, u go next game. I you want to balance safety, dmg, mf = 250~, different build altogether.
