ok, so i wanted to make a sorceress that could mf chaos the fastest possible while still having some mf%

there were lots of options with sunder charms and lots of choices ... but this is what i came up with

Dual Dream sorceress - why? because lightning mastery boosts it 3x and lightning is the only elemental skill that infinity fully removes immunity

the only problem? lacks ar

perfect solution? = Jah your wiz spike

with a jah'd wiz spike you achieve 100% chance to hit monsters

with 35k+ damage, with 100% chance to hit ... its faster than foh dmg

why wiz spike? because its faster than swinging style weapons by 1 frame

requires 63% faster cast rate and 89% ias to hit max fcr and ias speed breakpoints














gear:

Dream helmet
30% all resist / 25 damage reduced ammy (maras would work too)
Dream shield
4 socket armor with 15 damage reduced and 4x 15% ias / 3 mana per kill jewels (can use 15% ias / 15% res but not needed because wiz spike has so much resist)
Rings = fcr with mf
belt = goldwrap for 10% ias
gloves = 20% ias gloves with triple resist and mf
boots = 25% mf boots with triple resist and frw
wep = JAH'd wiz spike only



skills:
20 pts lightning mastery
20 pts telekenisis
20 pts warmth
20 pts thunderstorm
i put 3 points in energy shield




Inventory:
I use gheeds + torch + anni + lightning sunder 70%
and rest of inventory except for 8 spaces are all 7% small magic find small charms with 1-60+ lightning damage




Goal:

Teleport as fast as you can to seals, pop seals, teleport directly on top of monster - one shot melee swing them - go to next seal and repeat

it kills diablo in 3 swings at 9 frames so within 2 frames over 1 second diablo dies

I been running chaos, and this is by far the fastest chaos able char i've ever had


all it took was a Jah'd Wiz spike and dual dream and 63% fcr and 79% ias


i use no skillers because i needed the mf% but skillers might give you higher damage but less mf








stats:

84 strength (enough to use tower shield dream and whyrmhide armor 4 soc)
dex = enough for max block (takes alot like 300 total dex roughly)
vitality = rest of stat points
mana = 0 points









very survivable, very strong build



Merc uses:

Infinity cryptic axe (high ed% and light res doesnt matter)
8% life leech tiara with 3 sockets - 15% ias / 15 res jeweled
eth guardian angel armor - cham'd


thats ideal merc for this build currently using a different merc but it gets the job done the same ...

Current merc:

25 damage reduced 3 soc tiara with 120/45 ed ias jewels
coh
infinity



hope this guide helps someone ... havent seen too many people jah their wiz spike, so i think its a new build lol

no enchant needed with jah rune at 100% chance to hit in wep

you can also max nova if you dont want thunder storm

on switch i use cta + lidless ... but phoenix shield would be better on switch

good luck! hope it helps

I timed myself and can do it between a minute 30 seconds and 2 minutes ...

its not full clears but lots of other monsters do die from aura ... its just seal rushing and diablo slaying in under 2 minutes

current mf% is 325% and current max damage at 9 frame attack is 36k

How’s it perform in player 8 games?

interesting

seems fun , ty for the dream diadem and dream tower and jah'd wiz will def give this a try brotha

still not sure how it survives in 8 player games yet ... but i was able to solo baal fairly easily in 1 player game

Super fast chaos runs
super fast mephisto runs

i swapped ammy for a rare 10% fcr / 35% mf ammy
i swapped 1x ring for nagel ring
and now i use enigma instead of 60% ias armor for more mf

currently at 511% mf and can clear any monster in the game

crescent moon PB (or lower req slower base): has ignore target defense so ar is a non-factor. -30 lr massively increases both your pulse and attack damage

The problem with crescent moon is it's 1 frame slower and lacks fcr and res

Edit - also majority of my mana pool comes from wiz spike

Double edit - my record so far is about 1 min and 15 sec from wp to Big d kill

you should try es and full energy since you have more than enough skill points to max both es and telekinesis. makes you unkillable and makes resistances obsolete

slightly lower attack speed doesnt matter much, your total damage output goes way up either way

in theory full mana and full es sounds better ... but because of "mana burn" monsters its not

Just finished another run from wp to diablo kill in 1 min / 12 seconds

The 60% ias from armor is overkill, so now i use enigma

I had enough resists so now i use wartravs

I still aim for 63% fcr and it is hard to do with mf gear without some fcr on wep

it is "possibble" to hit 63% fcr without wep fcr using crescent moon, but the problem is you have to sacrifice 55% mf from gloves and belt to do it...

basically because of infinity already doing -75% resist ... the bonus -35% from crescent moon is only 1/3 more damage and its just not needed

Idk, i'm clearing chaos in roughly 1 min 15 seconds...

I'd rather 50% fcr and 75% all resist than -35% lightning resist damage

But thats just how i like to play it...

also if you have any damage reduced at all, its better to take a mixed damage than full es as far as total points lost

mana burn doesnt exist in d2r. they fixed it

there's no reason not to go es on a melee sorc
