Hi, need some input.

As of right now I run a lightning sorc using 6-7 skillers 44k lightning,
73+ in all resist, 2.4k hp wirh bo, using a 39@ hoto and enigma dusk, infi merc. Mainly my mf comes from eni, gheed and a few 7mf sc sittang around 160. Yesterday I made a CM for fun but really enjoyed the damg feelt almost double. So my question is would you go with my current setup hoto, eni or cresent moon/ upg viper with 5/5 light facet? Getting -40% light resist almost same resist, sacrificing some hp since more stats have to go into str instead of vita, and 92mf mainly doing chaos cows, baal and keys. Or stay with eni to balance damg output and mf?

you said it: cmoon just deals way more damage. I'd only consider hoto on hc

you can use both cmoon and eni and still reach 117 fcr. build example:

griffon (25)
cmoon
spirit (60)
eni
arach (80)
trangs/mages (100
amu 7-17 fcr (107-117)
sojs/soj+fcr ring (117)

mf from eni, boots and inv should be more than enough. use res scs to reach 75

e: alternative is, like you said, cmoon and viper. it's cheaper, easier to stack res, allows build diversity through the fcr, but your mf and hp is lower. it's not a bad alternative at all

Yeah I guess I’m going with cmoon (i mean berserker axe is so much cooler), seems like a 2/17 amu is on the shopping list, thanks for input!
