nova sorc (es 105 fcr):
infy
griffon
viper
mages
arach
sands/rares with mf and poison res
3/10 amu
sojs
insight merc

max es and telekinesis

light sorc (vita 117 fcr)
cmoon
spirit
griffon
eni/viper
mages/chances
arach
silkweaves
sojs
2/17+ amu/mara if you're using viper
infy merc

both are a+ builds and both clear at similar speeds. lightning does a bit better in high player count games imo.

novas are unkillable unless you're farming in areas with souls. you can semi-afk and still do well. requires no res apart from poison since you're es

lightning requires a tiny bit of aiming, positioning + health and mana potting. can be challenging to get max res, you'll have to rely on scs.
