Thanks for the comments. A lot depends on how you want to play this build as it can be tweaked to suit preference.



I agree, if spending more time in Chaos with those bitterly cold Oblivion Knights, this can come in handy. However, they typically die before their missile can even get you/move out of the way, and I found that it wasn't a great use of the ring slot. Granted, if running cows (where this build shines), then it's not needed.



Yup I run Viper more than any other armor. However, I rarely static so there isn't as much need for casting on this build. If your play style incorporates more static, then absolutely. That gear setup rocks and you can avoid switching for tele. I tend to only need FCR for teleport, hence why I swap to get my 63 (easily doable without Viper, hence the armor choices) or 105 (with Viper/20 fcr enchant stick/spirit/jewelery, etc.)




I don't quite understand the question. If you're like the former "Max Buff" enchant, I'd strip it down and replace as much as you can with the play style gear and switch out the minimum amount when doing runs. Like ^danuswetc pointed out, alone swapping Ormus and a +3 fire skills ammy may do the trick if you're on lower play counts.


You have teleport :)

If anything fcr makes your runs a lot faster than dmg or facets

But 37 could work, I’d just prefer viper 5-5 over 20/20 armor personally

Also has resist and % fire dmg is somewhat useless on sorcs with fm anyway

I meant it as extra prebuff gear, to your mentioned gear :)

And back then, a +3 enchant obsession staff wasnt that expensive back then, in fact, it was pretty cheap, dont know, how it is now.
The whole pre buff stuff isnt neccessary, if you are playing solo, but is more than good, if you are playing in mp games.
If you're getting used to it, it will only take a couple of seconds.

Absolutely and in my opinion, CBF is mandatory, otherwise its a pain to play.


yeah, not debatable imo. Playing without cbf is misery.


Viper beats any of those armors tbh

You need some fcr

I’d go viper Magefist 2/15 amu and hit 63 fcr


I would absolutely always go with this setup, no debate imo. Ok you only play p1/2, but usually people try to optimize for full games. And here you'll want to static.


Also, this belongs here: https://forums.d2jsp.org/forum.php?f=87

Maybe pm a mod and see if they can move it.

Yup I can see that view; Viper and a Raven can be optimal/non-negotiable pieces.

Another question for everyone, what and how do you do runs with the Enchantress? Considering the extra time to buff, do you try to squeeze in a couple areas to get the bang for buck? Or just focus on one in particular.

I change it up a lot to keep life interesting. But I tend to do Cows/Meph/Chaos.

I'll rephrase my question:

Let's say you have a max enchantress on account 2 and a demon machine sorc on account 1. The demon machine sorc doesn't need to make any compromise on the gear to get good prebuff as she would get max enchant from account 2. Then, what gear would you use on account 1's demon machine sorc?
