200fcr is mega fun, good for keys etc, lower p count, then it's losing breath a bit with p5-p8

don't forget lightning and chain light fcr breaks are 52/78/117/194



yeah, still decent on p5/8 but you can clearly see a difference
for FCR thx for bolding 117, didnt think of this, as 200>194 but 117>105, that's a bit counterintuitive. I'll think about it.
but honestly yeah the 200 fcr is really just to have fastest Teleport in the game, smooth af.
I leveled a second light sorc (she is now an almost clone to the first one, we could call them twins) for trying some dual TZ Baals to use downtimes like between waves and waiting for Baal to enter Chamber, not the best result but I hope it'll get better with time. Anyways, I went Ondal's in some Baalruns at some point, and the lower Lightning FCR didn't feel so bad.
I'll check all that tonight and see how it goes

Full GG light or nova sorc is faster than echoing strike, especially for density clear. People don't know what they are talking about and just go "warlock op" without even playing P8 games most of their B net careers. Echoing strike is pretty trash without amp and is a elite sniper not density clear (terrible aoe). The only major difference is echoing strike is bugged and doesn't require gear so in a ladder race warlock is strong since sorc doesn't have gear yet. but for end game farming Light sorc in max gear out performs warlock by a lot in clear speed. Echoing strike is not even that good nor even 1/4th as strong as mosaic was. Light sorc has always been S tier for p8 clear ever since LOD even before sudners and power creep in d2r.


ES actually has better single target / small pack DMG than AoE. Fire warlock is better at density clear than ES. So the real question is more Light/Nova sorc vs Fire warlock than ES warlock

Compare tombs/chaos p8 tz mass screen clear speed to score latents vs echo strike/fire lock/nova.

Fast/slow? Top gear.

Classic:
https://maxroll.gg/d2/guides/lightning-sorceress

If you have first hand experience from p1 only, don't compare, not relevant.


using that guide you'll have cleared den of evil by the time a wl has done all tombs
