Maybe I'm trying to check too many boxes at once, but looking to try and figure out how to build a frozen orb-focused Sorc for mostly MF.

Two things: I know that pure Blizz is better from a speed/dmg standpoint but I'm playing on console and don't enjoy it as much. I'm planning to Max Orb/Blizz/Ice bolt synergy and then whatever else blizz synergies I have Skillpoints left for.
From a gear standpoint I'm trying to find a way to make Enigma work for the QoL, faster running (just because), and to not have to wear a Vipermagi again unless I can't find an optimal build without it.

Options I've thought through to hit 105FCR and wanted advice on to optimize the balance between MF/DMG and build cost:

Option 1: 200MF with gear+Gheeds
- Shako
- Enigma
- Fathom 20FCR
- Spirit 35FCR
- Trang’s Gloves 20FCR
- Arach Mesh 20FCR
- Mara's
- 10 FCR ring + SOJ

Option 2: 280MF with gear+Gheeds
- Shako
- Enigma
- Occy 30FCR
- Spirit 35FCR
- Trang’s Gloves 20FCR
- Arach Mesh 20FCR
- 2/10 ammy
- SOJ + MF ring

Option 3: 230MF with gear+Gheeds
- Shako
- Enigma
- Death's Fathom 20FCR
- Spirit 35FCR
- Trang’s Gloves 20FCR
- Arach Mesh 20FCR
- 2/10 ammy
- SOJ + MF Ring

Option 4: 300MF+ with gear+Gheeds
- Shako
- Vipermagi 30FCR
- Death's Fathom 20FCR
- Spirit 35FCR
- Chance Guards
- Arach Mesh 20FCR
- +2 ammy with MF?
- SOJ + MF Ring


Leaning towards option 3 to get the dmg from Death's Fathom + decent MF. Any other ideas?

Lol completely forgot Arach mesh - updating original

Well thought out!

Go with kill-speed over mf. Plus, option 1 or option 3 could still get more mf on the fcr ring or mf on the 2/10 ammy too.

Good luck!

Good points, ty! Hoping to avoid a Nightwing because it's ugly to me lol and I like the life+mana from Shako

Have you even considered Tal Rasha's Set? Oh, ignore the Lightning Build and research the cold skills and FCR bps for cold... I just copied and pasted it from my profile. Also check other Affix/Suffixes you want on your rings. Note that the following has an empty Inventory outside of Anni / Torch & Cube, so you can have more charms etc.



For my own information:

Following Setup: Tals Set / Magefist / 2x FCR rings / Spirit Monarch (35% fcr) & War Travs

Skills: +2 All Skills +6 Sorc Skills / +1-2 Lightning Mastery (each skill [Lightning Mastery] = 12% Lightning Skill Damage = 112% or 120%)
FCR: 125%
Resistances
...Light 143% with 3x Anya Quest / Perfect Anni n Torch
...Cold 110% with 3x Anya Quest / Perfect Anni n Torch
...Fire 075% with 3x Anya Quest / Perfect Anni n Torch
...Poison 070% with 3x Anya Quest / Perfect Anni n Torch
Mana: +268-291 (+10 Energy)
Life: +317 (+32 Vitality)
FHR: 80%
MF: 183-218%
-15% to enemy lightning resistence
3 Socketable items (add 3x 5/5s)
... -15% to enemy lightning resistance / +15% lightning skill damage
