I'm wondering if anyone might have a general idea of what this sorcs build might have been?

She had Widowmaker and did huge damage. I had stacked res, and it didn't matter (240+ light and fire). She was also bming by using faith merc and nking, which is whatever it's a pub. I was just impressed by the dmg/fcr/survivability she had.

But I'd like to know the build. I think she did have Holyshock aura, ES, TS + guided arrow. She was also casting Slow Missiles lmao, so I guess Sanc on swap with cta.

Edit: Also, what type of off-meta PvP builds do you guys think are a lot of fun?

If she used faith merc:
9 fpa = 56 ias

No fana = 65 for 11 fpa

Dream helm
Widowmaker 'shael or 15ias/add'
Magefist
2/20/adds ammu
Arach
10fcr/adds ring
Raven or soj
60ias/adds armor
Some nice boots for es sorc

Dno if she fully precasted, light skillers are nice, but you can precast with full enchant precast setup if bothering.

Some uses a few psn scs as well.

There is a lot of fun chanter sorcs.

Psn dagger (like 140% more AR which is highly needed)
Rare fast knife or PB with zeal charges.
Passion for zeal
Widowmaker for defense ignoring and homing missles
Brand/Demon machine for Exploding arrows(ignore block, but hard to land)
Warshrike for 50% pierce , throwing and melee and dual dream while ranged.


When it comes to off meta i think this:
Throwbarb
Psn dagger sin, kicksin with traps, bladesin, tele 3 hybrid amazon.

If i had more fg i would build a assa and token myself between psn dagger + trap, bladesin + add, spidersin etc. Many builds.

If i was to invest as barb i would build a brawler:
Eth ghost glaive 30-40ias/4xx ED/eth + Eth lacerator
Doom BA + Beast BA
Enigma
Highlord
20ias/kb/adds gloves
Upped gores
Arach
Raven
Wisp
20fcr/80ed/15@/45 ias diadem

Torch
Annie
Cube: 3bo metamorphosis, 2 sojsORbk, 3wc/str ammu, demon limb
4 x 5fhr/5@
1 x lc 6max/48ar/8fhr (lower stats is fine as well)
2 x ife/5@
25 x 3max/ar/life

Tigger mark of the bear.

Here is a planner link:
https://maxroll.gg/d2/d2planner/bin0c00w

It will have same breakpoint but way less AR with a warshrike. (Nice vs druid as it has 50% pierce, but its better to just jump and stab them)
It has a secondary armor incase you want to focus more on ias than on fcr.
It has a fanged knife if you want to maxize attack rating vs forexample paladin. With lvl 8 psn dagger etc.
It is currently setup up with:
63fcr / 3,6k mana / 1,x k life / 90% es with 20 base tk / 10fpa melee, 12 fpa throw, 13 fpa bow. (no merc) / 72k melee damage, listed as like 17k throw, but i think its wrong in planner / 7k bow damage which i also think is wrong in planner.
It has 50% PLR in base equipment.
It has lower res for bm, and psn dagger for any melee with any dagger/throwing dagger to buff some AR%.

You will find whatever swap you would want.

I used Upped viper and tower shield, due to high def and much base block, so had to stat extra strengt, this is up to you.

Legit cube/inventory precast.
Full precast would grant like 86k damage and 95% es.

Another fun wep is low strenght -10wsm infinity.
Dream can be swapped with that runeword for firebuff if enemy has massive light abs.

Got one with like 25k dmg or so running:

Widowmaker 15/15
20 fcr 3 soc helm 2x 15/15 cham
Hustle armor (evade is rly nice)
2x soj
Frostburn
Arach
Cats eye
Mana boots with frw fhr dex

Go for 95% es with 20 tk

You gotta precast both enchant and es tho for it to be strong, which is slightly annoying. I have like 9 fire sks in inventory and precast enchant with ormus circ amu and a 6 enchant 5 fire mastery orb. Then precast es with just circ amu memory ormus.

You could make it a bit more lazy and precast with enigma and 2 sorc circ/amu tho and enchant es memory.

Other setups are:

Demon machine Razortail setup for that 99% pierce vs zoo Druid or anything with massive summons. Pierce will also cause explosion multiple times and therefore also hit the Druid multiple times, potentially oneshotting him

A brand razor bow setup for block chars (unblockable)

It’s a rly tanky char with 95% es, 37 fcr 60 fhr, insane frw (over 160 with blaze) and the hustle evade makes you dodge half the missiles too

Make sure u get that war scythe infinity btw for the +4 range adder if u try that last bit, smacks people from Narnia and you still get over 30k dmg. Can 1 hit a lot of peepz

Probably used dream helm, maxed lightning mastery, maxed warmth enchant, fire mastery

Hmm I have a similar build, but also all over the place.

Would 60ias/xx Armor be better? Can then use a FCR ammy + ring. Evade gives you 40% to not be hit by melee or ranged if you're running but I'm not usually running, I'm teleporting only
Dream helm with maxed Light Mastery gives 15k Dmg which is hard to pass up too imo (Also has decent adds like frh res)

I've been playing with the build all night with diff gear (so many tokens) And there are so many variables and swaps.

I just want a solid build with none or minimal swaps that is fun and effective as a bow sorc.

I think hustle is better. People really undervalue that frw and evade
