So basic would be:

Gear:
Infinity Scyte in your hands (-ress matters a lot)
Viper with -5/x rbf
Griffon with -5/x rbf (-ress > +dmg)
Arach
Sandstorm (you can easly go with ~0 all ress, but keep poison ress at 75 so psn doesnt bother you)
Soj
a ) 10fcr amu + soj + magefist (i prefer this option)
b ) 20fcr amu + fcr ring + frostburn
Swap:
cta + lidless wall

Torch, Anni, Gheed, Skillers with life/fhr (20fhr from boots is good enought bp for pvm tho), scs with all ress or life/mana. If you want to play with higher mf i would drop skillers for mf scs and slot mf in armor and helm.

Stats:
str - enough for boots
dex - nothing
vita - nothing
energy - everything

Skills:
max: nova, static, light mastery, telekinesis, ES, than 1pt in cold armor and thunderstorm (i would play without this 2 skill untill you're lvl 95+)

Merc A2 with Prayer and Insight (you will run with 400-500 selfbuffed life, regen from prayer is very nice to have)

My sorc is 500life 2700mana (selfbuffed with crap cta) 4.8k dmg -70light ress 90mf 35-75@ 95%es. Never dies and you actually find cool stuff to sell because you kill a lot and fast :)

Haven't tried the self holding infinity yet but I'm running this 200 fcr Nova build

Griffon's 25/20 - have 5/5 facet
Eschutas 3/35/29 - 5/5 facet
Upped Vipermagi - 5/5 facet
Double Upped Magefist
Arachnid Belt
Upped Silkweaves Boots
FCR + Str + Res + Mana rings
+1 + 10FCR + Mana + Res Amulet

+9 Memory swap with CTA + Spirit

Anni, Torch, Gheeds, Skillers mostly plain a few FHR for 86 breakpoint
Assortment of Res + MF and Mana + MF SCs to get 10-20's on resists.

Eventually I want a 2/20 ammy and replace a ring with SOJ

Can't remember off the top of my head entire stats but think Nova is 4.8k, 400ish life and 2100 Mana before BO.

Sunder charms break immunes leaves them at 95resi
Griffons perf -25% res
Infinity perf -55% res
Infinity conv aura -17% res

= -97% resi

Thats enough am i right

Then u want 105 fcr

Cheapest i think is

Griffons 25fcr
Viper 30fcr
Magefist 20fcr
Arach 20fcr
Amu 3 light 10fcr

= 105fcr
