Again, I would just replace the duress with a GA and bump your resists up until your fire and lightning resists are 295 each. Looks like you have lots of room for charms in there. And 100% use the hoz.


So run 15% crushing blow on boots? Guess I could look for a goblin toe
Should I up the HOZ?

If I found a tgods, use 2 dwarfs? or always use 1 dwarf 1 wisp
I for sure can use light res/fire res charms in the inv in addition

I've updated the build, I don't know if I have enough fire/light res small charms that would be required. 52 ias without fana, surely I could use the all resist aura, right?

To me, it's the fire that hits the hardest, so that's the one I'd look to mitigate, all else being equal. If that means a ral in the kira's go for that. I would not play around with attacking slower, any gap in your attack is a chance to get put into hit recovery/take damage. Your kill speed will be fine, it just might take longer but the key is that you won't be taking the kind of damage that can one shot you. If you're killing talic last, you'll need heavy fire mitigation, but he will go down. Cham a gface if you have extras and want to up your kill speed, you'll just need to cover that lost fire resist. I'll test your setup out when I get home with my closest approximation to your gear, and report my findings.

I'm going to hit the "export" button and get the .d2s file from this and try it on pc and let you know for science

I forgot to calculate the treachery prebuff into the calculation so i actually didnt need the fire resistance and light resistance small charms. killed blizzard guy first and fire guy last:
was not scary at all but did need to use 4 mana potions and 1 rejuv
