wondering if foh would be better for chaos than current setup for hammers

Hammers the fastest for chaos/baal, FOH more focus on pvp

well with my current setup i suck ass at chaos lol

Hammers have a much faster kill rates yeah, spinning and hitting everything that gets on its path. While foh has delays and lack that efficiency of hitting twice or triple
Really not the best adapted setup for chaos, i do like trapsins / light sorc for speed and efficiency

Fcr belt, like crafted belt? You should hit 75fcr break point with hoto and 35fcr spirit. +20 from magefist. So 10fcr on a craft belt won't get you to 125 for next breakpoint, and topaz armor isn't worth it if you're not surviving. Swapping to vipermagi and getting to 125 could help; the all res it gives could let you swap the ring for fcr if needed. Ultimately hammerdin is much better with enigma, which would help the merc survive too. Swap merc gangle for treachery for the ias; should only need gangle in trav or ubers.

yeah those were my basic plans lol but i havent had anything drop in days kinda frustrating lol

Foh/Holy Bolt is goat for undead mobs areas. If you want to farm cs mainly, go for it.

Looking at your gear, this is definitely a skill issue.

You can do this with duel spirit+stealth+lore

oh i know its a skill issue its cuz im lazy as fuck lol i dont have tele to re adjust so i dont move lol foh seems better since i dont have to move to attack once i get an enigma ill definitely be switching back to hdin
