so i just hit level 57 and i am currently using this gear. i have 100% pierce and the knock back seems to help a lot with crowds. when i get to level 67 i want to put on my horazon boots for cannot be frozen and laying of hands for my ias and %dmg to demons so i can take the shael out of the demon machine and put a nef in it or something else.
i just got to hell and I am having a very bad time trying to kill anything that says fire immune. the physical damage is very bad on the demon machine right now because i dont have dmg scs. I need a better way to fight fire immune monsters while trying to level and complete the quests in hell mode. is it viable to complete hell with a demon machine sorc ?

What can i do to combat the fire immunes that shut me down in hell mode ?

Howdy. You’re a bit far from the standard gear for a demon machine sorc. Also bring level 57, new in Hell, with dependency on an element, it’s going to be a struggle for a bit.

First would be a fire sunder or infinity. Then you need to ensure you maximize your enchant buff. Also then need to maximize your -enemy fire res.

Angelics is not needed as you don’t need AR. Go for +skills with mods for now to boost your enchant level, even if you’re not running a buff gear swap. Grab Horazons gloves to go with boots. That solves IAS, CBF and gives a massive fire damage bonus. Socket the demon machine with a fire facet to boost effective damage.

Don’t worry about fire dmg SCs these are useful once you’ve maxed the big stuff (don’t pinch penny’s when dollars are missing).

This build will nuke most areas once levelled a bit more and geared. Enjoy the grind!
