Very nice - i use this build now, try to get items now

I really like your build and I congratulate you for the amazing detail in your guide.

Though, I can't understand why you don't use cta on switch. Shouldn't be better to boost our sorc & merc life/mana, rather than have a special switch to travel?

Btw, I found page number 6 very, very important for a pure MF Sorceress. You should remake this guide and put in the very first page of your guid that info about kicking GF for best MF results.



Loved it 10/10

After some research and based on what you've wrote at page number 6, I think non-upgrade moser's (double isted) for the Fight Switch it's not the best option.

Non-Upgraded Moser's won't reach the max block. It still has the very useful 25 all resistances + 50% MF from double ists.

But...take a look at this shield:




This shield is now able to give us the max block that Moser's cannot. Resuming, this shield can perfectly serve 3 important purposes:

1. 74% Chance to Block, which is very easy to reach 75% with the dexterity boost provided by Anni + Torch.
2. If it has perfect resistances, 30@ are very welcome.
3. And if you add a socket you can always get a nice 25% MF from Ist.


So Vs. Moser's, this shield lacks on -25% MF, but provides max block + resistances. Also you have to get more Strength, but imo worths the little strength points spent.




The good thing, is that with this little change of shield you are now able to change the entire build. You can kick the old Travel Switch and replace the traditional CTA + Boost Shield Switch.

Based on this improvements (imo ofc), I will write an upgrade of this guide very soon and all credits will go for you!


Edit:

Nevermind...I totally forgot about the FBR, which Gerke's Sanctuary doesn't provide any %.

Conclusion: I've wasted like 2 hours to figure that, after all... mosers > gerke's. Duh! I'm going to sleep.


*Sorry for double post.

Hey, I'm trying this build out and its working fine so far.

My only question is about mercs, your guide doesnt really explain them too well...I need it really really well explained bc I'm a noob haha\
So its the Defensive Holy Freeze merc in Nightmare, what act? and what gear do you use on him?
Thanks

just a question....wat is ur fcr with occy/lidless set-up?
i was too lazy to flip through 9 pages to see if u did write ur fcr.
and considering ur setup....i doubt u would hit 105fcr bp rite?

edit: i belive u would only have 70fcr?? which is 2frames lower rite?? coz after 105fcr is 86fcr if i am not wrong.
and ur 70fcr would be rather slow. Wont this significantly lower ur dps?

I am also assuming that the wizzy/mosers is meant to travel and occy/lidless is used for killing/mf-ing/gf-ing

If u are looking for the holyfreeze merc, it would be in Nightmare/act2/Defensive merc
and he did mention about using an eth infinity with eth gaze and eth CoH (CoH = Chains of Honor)

\

Ya, I remember when they talked about the gear but what about the weapon? and is the holy freeze one the best? Thats just the one they were talking about earlier, someone mentioned the defiance merc too.

not too sure about the others.... but i would agree on holy freeze merc coz it helps slow mobs down while u zap their asses off. I dun really fancy defiance merc even for a Hdin.

and for a light sorc, ur only viable merc weapon is an infinity. look it up in arreat summit on wat it does.

interesting guide

kk, thanks bro!

What about a hdin merc? which one should I use and where do I get it?
