Do you know if you can put 6x Defender Fire in a 6os Crystal sword ? Prolly better then 30/-30 with facets?


buddy come on now if that were true every build would use 15 of those in each slot

Density destroying: B
Elite sniping: S
Boss killing: S
Ubers: A
Herald hunting: A
Baal runs: S
Chaos seal pop: S

So it all depends on what you want to do…
If your goal is to kill everything, it sucks.
But if you wanna kill what matters and be able to do all game content, it’s very good.

Firesorc is very good, honestly feels better than light sorc because phoenix is so chill and A5 is brutal for light sorc. It’s a very good build, but not as good as warlock, mosaic, java, hammerman

below warlock/java/mosaic but it might be better than donk now
fireball and hammer kind of have comparable if dissimilar aoe but fireball lets you snipe some spread out monsters at range instead of having to stomp each, and damage isn't too far off
I think fireball has the edge because against heralds and bosses you can dump hydras+meteor+static, donk is one speed only

But still plenty of applications not so great, like undergeared chars, and just boring MF routes where a blizz sorc can stack more %mf and kill faster ex doing 10/11 trav

im going to test this build next after my necro.


Hydra/Chant

+20 Warmth, Fireball, Fire mastery, Hydra, Enchant
+1 tele
remaining skills into fire bolt for hydras silly 3% synergy.

While the hydra synergies are extremely low, Hydra itself is no longer restricted to a cast delay like blizzard and frozen orb.
All Hydras can be casted as fast as the fcr breakpoint you have.

Since the synergy is extremely low, Im going to put 20 points into enchant instead of fire bolt since we are already maxing out warmth and fire mastery.. this means enchant will be fully synergized granting 2k fire dmg to merc and party members.

I will be testing this as soon as I finish my video with my necro build.

If you're going a chant build you might as well be using an exploding arrows/pierce setup
