Actual equip:
Hellwardens will
2/15 amu
2 x opalvein
Arach, trangs, spirit, eschuta, cta, anni, torch,..
Running 200fcr, only 14K fireball dmg

Missing skillers

Realy weak in p8, what could i make better? Running 105 fcr and flickeri ng flame, ormus..??

Only will it make a diffrent if i add some skillers and maybe res charms?!

Yes, it's possible. No sunder? Get a sunder and consider running the demon machine enchantress instead of pure fireball. It's much stronger for pvm, you already have most of the gear except a couple things and the AoE damage is much higher.

Fire just sucks vs fire immunes as it's hard to break them

I run a -10 eny fire res sunder

What demon machine enchantress u mean?!

Flickeding flame -15? Add stone somewhere else?

105fcr is much better

trang -> magefist

spirit -> phoenix

eschuta -> 30/-30 (or even 35/-35 now with protector)

2x opalvein -> 2x soj

infinity merc
add skillers
renewed sunder and protector jewel in helm, viper or weapon

it melts p8, the only problem is smaller AoE than other casters
but dmg is definitely not a problem if you build it right

You didn't say sunder, which is an absolute necessity for all the fire immunes. You still need conviction merc because even for immunes the -17% matters and against the rest its a big amp, and -% resists on gear matters more than anything for increasing damage against all the immunes
You've got -8% resist on gear, unless you're not listing facets. Even if you add sunder, an immune monster is still at 87% resist

Take the fire or blood boil warlocks as an example, they will have conviction and ~55% fire pierce, so fire immune monsters are reduced to 23% resist. Which compared to 87%, is taking 6x the damage per 'same base fire damage'
well blizzard didn't staple a free -15% pierce onto fire sorcs so you need to get it from gear. Mass facets and defender's fire being the best way to accomplish that

I made this a few seasons back using sunder, flickering flame, an ethereal naga axe with 6 facets and phoenix shield.

I guess you can improve on it with the new jewels from rotw and other items.

I do recall that although it was a Fireball build, hydras where very powerful for bosses.

This video is actually a lot better. This guy actually has a brain unlike that Aussie I found before.

fb 105 fcr focusing on enemy fire res reduction is a good p8 elite sniper. slightly squishy and getting high lr is rough, but it's a good build

demon machine is also good and safer due to ES but dmg is a bit too low to be a top tier build for p8 games
