im unsure about the nova build talents and gear.

in the guides there are few, i would like to know the most common one, or the one who is best due to cost-farm

can you guys explain talents and gear? maybe 2 versions of gear an expensive one and a cheap one

This. Except on the expensive end-game gear, I'd always go for a 2/20 Amu and a 10 FCR Ring with Frostburn instead of 2/10 + SoJ + Magefist.

Ethereal Scythe for lowest possible requirements in STR / DEX. Well, Scythe for the stats, ethereal for style^^

hi
yes sunder helps a lot, allows u to subtract conviction + light res reduction from 95. Plus u dont have to wait for conv to remove immune
with sunder, beetles are izi even p8..
without, it's waaay longer

ur resists dont matter much as u use es. If u care use 1 ort and some lr sc

thanks you!

one more question: i have 0.5kLife, 2.5k Mana but still feel like im super squishy, i have really low fgs so cant afford much more... i list my equip
-46 Eth Schyze infinity
griffon 19/10
viper 34
x2 soj
arach
random amu +3light (still searching 2/10fcr)
silkweave boots
magefist
sunder light
sosoT
Anni
cta4 + liddles

i wonder... its really worth going mana, or should i swap to vita sorc, considering i wont be able to upgrade my gear much more?

thanks you

make sure you have 75 poison res (switch out silkweaves for sands or rare boots)
have you maxed telekinesis and es? do so before you max out static/mastery
switch out one soj for an fcr ring until you find a better amu with fcr. you need to reach 105 fcr
use insight merc with prayer aura if you arent already

don't switch to vita. it's not viable on a nova sorc and you'll die constantly
