cure is just shael io tal so unless you're on nl you can probably just make one right now. base doesn't matter. coh would be optimal but your merc will stay alive through most things without ll so you can replace it now.


no, def is useless and it forces you to spend points into str which would otherwise go into energy. and for the same reason, don't use non-eth treks. if you don't have eth treks you're better off just using a throwaway pair of low req rare frw + poison res boots

always wear a sunder. conviction doesn't break every light immunity by itself, and conviction also takes a while to trigger. sunder allows you to do damage instantly which makes a massive difference.

the build posted is a proper one. just don't fixate on getting perf or near perf items. your 11 mdr viper is fine, clean skillers are fine, any 10 fcr amu is fine until you get a magic 3/10 or rare/crafted 2/10.

thoughts on getting light resist? I'm not sure if my energy shield went down earlier when i was doing izual in act 4 hell 3player party. but I was getting rekted by souls. my current resists are fire 39, cold 75, poisoin 39, lightning -14.

-100/-100/-100 ~+50 is enough. souls drain mana so unless you're at 75 light res with a decent life pool they'll always be a bit of a threat. it's not worth itemizing for as you rarely encounter them. it's the only mob you can't brain afk against

side step the lightning a bit and time your tele stomp and they're fine. for reference I'm hc baaling with my 500 hp -100 lr nova with no issues, but I'm also dolphy

Yup
Griff (-res is more important than +% dmg)
Then cure
Then coh
Then treks

Yes keep sunder
Make sure you have 105 fcr
Only psn res matters

You didn’t list armor?
Use vipermagi 13mdr facet

2soj is for big +mana and skills
Get that 10fcr from a 3/10 amy

And since its a low str build
Use either a +3 es cta staff of get any low str +1 skill shield

Question, if I wanted to add in MF how would I switch up some here?

Quote (SinsOfTheSun @ Mar 24 2025 09:03am)

First thing…
Mf is bad.
More mf means less profit.
Not only because it normally means slowing down you clear speed but mostly because the most valuable items are bases, magic, rares, scs/gcs, hrs.
Mf has either no impact or even negative impact, turning potential good drops into trash sets/uniques more often than it end up actually being profitable.

If you tell me that you don’t care about the above fact, I can try to help you get some mf in there.
I just recommend learning what’s valuable first.
If you want to farm a bunch of too common and hard to sell 5fgs items, sure… go for it :p

I agree with you there, I can always just buy those unique items instead of spending my time farming for them.What do you recommend in terms of farming routes in general for those things you mentioned above (bases, magic, rares, scs/gcs, hrs). Been doing cow's and chaos lately for bases but any thoughts on doing a full run? or should I stick to certain areas vs others, etc.. I play online in a private match currently. Should I be farming in p3-p8 public games or nah?

Almost all TZs are great.
Nova sorc is one of the most flexible.
But if you dislike the current TZ, normally grouping for the traditional CS/baal runs is the go-to

Always aim for higher player count when possible.
I know it’s a pain without loaders tho…

P7 > p5 > p3 > p1
