Yea vita usually. For es you can swap a few items in like frostburn/shako for extra mana.
You'll want to be 105% fcr for that build.
Arach belt helps.
Don't forget to upp the magefists if u are going with those.
Are you using 1 point frozen armor and enchanting your merc too?

Use a +5 or +6 20fcr 2os fireball orb for weapon
Mf over 200 is a complete waste of time

The best build is gonna be this except swap flickering flame for a 3/20 2os helm and the rings for 2x soj.

I went with
Flickering flame
2/15 10all res 7 mana Regen ammy
1xsoj
1x 5%fire 8 all res 2/2 mana life sek opal vein
Coh
Arachs
3/20 fire eachutas with the new fire gem -9 to enemy fire res and bunch of other stats
Latent flame rift
War travs ( for mfing will get tires boots for duels)
Pheonix monarch
Magefists
And meet with infinity/stealth(temporary but don't see a reason to swap) and cure helm
With only 5-6 GC's in inventory I have 1.9k life after 5bocta and 18k fireball damage and insane enemy lower resist

Might try to find a good fireball orb like post above mentioned

opal vein sucks. only adds to your fire mastery

coh sucks. you need fcr from armor slot

eschutas sucks. 0 dmg

you can't afford an orb that beats a -30/xx 6 soc rbf wep, which is what you should be using

Does this apply if I have Merc with infinity as well. Cause I'm clearing p1-4 pretty much one shotting everything with fireball as it sits 18.5k fb damage and Im keeping 2 slots open instead of using 2 more fire GC's open for easier looting
Also what do o socket the vmagi weith? And I stead of 6x facets should I do 5 and a defenders fire jewel?
