That's a very ignorant statement based on literally no facts. There's 1 eth Archon staff 15/3 for sale currently with 6k bin... not that that's enough info. I've also seen a few 17 275 5-6 insight for sale ranging from 1k to 2-3k

Obsession + phoenix offers way more than insight + spirit, period and it still destroys p8, not to mention the flexibility of items switches for rings/amulet, even gloves


why can't you wearing insight+phoenix?

Cos it's mutually exclusive. U wear phoenix for mana reg and u wear I insight for the same reason. That way u also don't get to 125fcr unless u sacrifice every single item slot for fcr to make up for the loss of spirit.

it's mutually exclusive in ur mind. you also don't sacrifice every item slot. here, it's very easy:

insight, 2/20 tiara (no sacrifice), 2/20 ammy (no sacrifice), arach (no sacrifice), trang gloves (no sacrifice), 10% fcr ring (not sure if you consider this a sacrifice, but I guess you sacrifice a soj or BK). So where is the sacrifice?
also, you wear phoenix for big d dmg against P8 T5 heralds who have a lot of HP. Although the 400% ED is not necessary, but it is nice to kill them faster. Also, you redeeming them makes it so that the annoying horker barb wont follow u around. Also, the fire absorb and extra max resist is very nice from phoenix, and its redemption makes sure u are 100% topped off in mana and health all the time. Insight lets to teleport without loosing mana-- different function

Why would you need to do that? My heyphatso never dies and I've never accidentally consumed him.

Oh look my other account is awake

Im gonna tell you a secret

WL doesnt need resistances, only lightning, it leeches 3k life per hit of ES.

obsession has no ds or cs

also, why a phoenix shield, do you need EVEN MORE DMG? why would you risk to burn a corpse in pvm instead of horking it?

so many questions easily answered by insight


What about against mobs that you can't leech from? Insight is nice but I see those warlocks dying to particularly difficult mobs, cursed cows, heralds with powerful ranged attacks. Miss one ES when you can't afford to, and then that can be all over. Doesn't matter if your Hephasto has 300k life if you are a glass cannon with 4k.

if you’re concerned with dying “every few days” on a lock, your issue is a skill issue not gear

good morning

Obsession is simply way better than insight with phoenix. There is absolutely no reason for insight with phoenix. That's all.
