The best build to handle solo p8 tz96 lvl5 herald.

Tele speed
Clear speed
Ease of play
Ease of any buffs needed to start

Overall who has the best QoL for efficiency that is not warlock. Coming up on lvl 98 soon. Want to start thinking of a second build.

I imagine the same builds that shined in boss killing before:
Fire Sorc
Javazon
Hammerdin
Maybe a decked out WW barb / fury wolf with a lot of CB ?

Warlock

Not warlock man. ES is kind of wack to me. It’s getting tedious and boring to look at and not satisfying what so ever. I rather blind myself with mosaic for 18 hrs straight.

Took you 98 lvls to realize Warlock is boring

I’ll go off meta PvM for a PVP build later on. After whatever nerf. My goal was to get a 99 for NL PvP. That is all. And obviously the most efficient way to 99 is ES. Doesn’t mean I want an ES build for PvP… got me?

Mosaic


You want a high damage build that can also leach.

Smiter does alright as well but is slower.

Go off meta and play a hammerdin

I’m thinking

Nova sorc self wield. New sunder and new ancient jewel

Or

Java tele zon new sunder new ancient jewel.


Mosaics are out

The sorc gonna be very squishy
