Whats would be the high end eq for her? Im using this right now:
Demon machine with 5/5
Flickering flame 15/7 on tiara (considering bone helm)
Viper with defender's fire
Magefist
Razortail
Soj
10fcr ml mana energi ring
Wt boots (considering eth treks or gore??)
Razortail
2/15 amu with mana adds
Sunder, torch, firesks etc

Im going energy shield with full energy and 9es memory on swap but since i dont have light sks i cant reach +90% es


What do you think? Any upgrade? Should i go vita instead of es? Ormus would be better?

99% Pierce, 105fcr on memory side

I’m also fairly new to demon machine sorc, I played one on hardcore this season, and have another one in softcore non ladder.

I believe you would want a little ias to cap out attack speed, best would be a 15ias/15@res jewel on demon machine, notwithstanding whether the dps increases, shooting faster is better qol.

Best fcr ring is high life high mana and resist if you need more, you probably do.

Eth treks is good, the poison resist comes in useful and stats would save you points which can go into energy.

Between vitality and energy, energy is better, try to get life through gear (rings, charms etc)

Best swap imo is CTA staff with enchant and energy shield.
If you have a second account with BO Barb, then it is memory with +3 enchant and whatever you can get on energy shield, it’s just good qol to not swop with stash gears

For longer games (like full tz clears or just anything more than 20mins) you can consider a prebuff set, +6 enchant orbs with the +1
Skill shield, Ormus enchant with fire facet, son/bk rings, arachnid mesh. There are some other very minor min max (like +3 fire skills circlets with 2 facets for flickering flame swap) but I won’t bother with that.

I’ve tried life/mana small charms and life/ @res/fr charms and I prefer the resist option, because of how low resistance I had.

Happy to discuss

maybe ias shael in bow?

check ias bp to see how much you need, i think you need some for fastest


Also. the new set item glove and boot combo would be very strong on this build, consider the ias and fire dmg +++

You need 8% IAS from somewhere, either a shael in the bow or on the gloves. The guide above is pre new jewels.

WTs aren’t going to help much since you’re dealing elemental instead of physical damage (besides giving MF if you’re into that!). Horazons boots would now be a good choice for CBF which is something missing on the link above if not using a Ravenfrost.

As this is a PvM build I haven’t found absolutely maxing ES is required, but as you suggest using memory can help boost this. It all comes down to how many swaps you want to do. A memory with ES and enchant would be a potential.

This is a build of choices and opportunity cost. I use the orb/spirit on swap to tele and don’t have as much with the bow out. But that rattles some, such is life.

Happy hunting.

Horazon gloves + boots are definitely must have. Too much fire dmg
i'm running 3/20 tiara + CoH +2/17 ammy.
Min/maxing with viper+ff+3/10 ammy is an option I guess. For sure this build is not about fcr and 37 is enough

Pvm or pvp? Can let you know this build but it was pre rotw
