In other words, for a 105fcr build reached via 20fcr armor, should I aim for more dmg with ormus or get some resists overall with magi?

Thoughts?

Thanks!

The correct answer is never ormus except for a enchant only sorceress.

V magi or enigma is the only answer

viper.

ormus does give you +2 additional points into nova, which is a negligible boost, but loses you +1 es, +1 warmth, +1 light mastery, 35 poison res and most importantly 10 fcr.

the 10 fcr on viper enables you to use another soj

Yeah Figured as much

Is mara/fcr ring better than crafted10fcr/soj ? Or is it pretty much the same ?

people usually go for double soj and a 10 fcr amu

griffon 25
viper 55
mages 75
arach 95
amu 105

some use frostburns but that's overkill imo. it locks you into using an expensive 20 fcr amu and a 10 fcr ring to compensate for the fcr loss from glove slot

I'd say go for 117 fcr. People forget that its the next bp for lightning. Most of the times, you need some range to win duels/fights as well.
