Spent the last hour or so researching throughout the interwebs and it seems like info is all over the place. Feels like this post from

xtraseal

that I found a couple years back is a good guide.

hi, i played fire sorc this ladder. this is imo...
1. highest dps with unlimited budget - 3fire 3fb 2+fire mastery 2os 20fcr orb, phoenix, vmagi, flicker, 2soj, 15+fcr ammy, arach, magefist, tri res boots. merc infi
2. very high dps - 6 facet cs, phoenix, 3fire 20fcr 2os circlet, vmagi, 2soj, 15+fcr ammy, arach, magefist, tri res boots. flicker on merc + coh + infi.
3. high dps with better survivability than no.2 - 6 facet cs, phoenix, flicker, vmagi, 2x fcr mana life, str, res ring, 15+fcr ammy, arach, magefist, tri res boots. merc infi

Leaning towards #3. Is this still one of the best builds still to this day?

Mainly do pvm runs in chaos and baal. Would like this fire sorc to dabble in pvp also. Already have a good hammerdin and mosaic assassin.

Hey, glad I'm of help. I haven't changed a thing, still using #3 and occasionally farming with her still, currently at lvl 98. Other feedbacks are of course welcomed.

For PvP you need an orb build like #1 but with many changes, or using obsession...the above builds are too pvm focused. Full tals fire sorc is actually not bad if you want flexibility for both PvP and pvm...it still clears p8 decently

1 is borderline unattainable
2 is great
3 is also great

you'll need to swap gear for pvp though since - res means nothing there

The info I see here on fb is very consistent and correct for the most part, and no one is recommending hero editor builds for online pvm :wacko:

I think any of those options posted are good. I did something similar that worked well for me (hit 105 fcr breakpoint and capped res in hell, 20k fb with 5 skillers):
3/25 eschuta (faceted), 8/-15 flicker, 3fb/20fire ormus (faceted), phoenix, magefist, arach, soj, 10fcr res str ring, 30 mara, 30/10 dual res boots, infin merc

I made one with pheonix and 6x facet sword and it was strong but the same problem i have with lit. No insight. I like builds that use insight for QOL

That's great to hear. Regarding respec's post, how do you deal with lack of insight for mana regen, just mana pots?

Looked super interesting until I saw his pre-buff process. I already think the charge up on my new mosaic assassin is tedious, I definitely don't want to be swapping out weaps and charms at the start of every game.
