fhr is to recover from a blow making u take 12% dmg on hp, since u use ES, fhr is no use.

Im using cure on merc instead of insight to get rid of mana curse/psn faster

That's a great point

But this isn't immortal sorc, sometimes you might end up getting damage to hp, in which case some fhr would be prudent

sunder isn't required if you dont want to kill unbreakable light immunes. You can get more damage with another light skiller.

if you do chaos for example then you would want sunder to kill seal bosses. Depends on the area you farm.

20fhr from treks is enough. Yea cure is fine, although if you dont want to use sunder and use your merc to kill then andys is better.
