talking solowise so no bo barb etc (ALSO HARDCORE)
meter/orb seems to be my fav in that regard maybe pure blizz if I wanna go for farming
been doing some runs self found and been running into issues in hell with survivability looking for some potential solutions/things im overlooking
sorc with 900hp gets decimated in hell by just about anything freshly going in/extra-fast-strong with say might/fanat aura even a bit into farming

normally go for 1 point into frozen armor/defiance merc
normally look to get w/e base for an insight then look for an exceptional/EBUG exceptional armor for treacery if possible otherwise just look for temp base


should I invest more into block?(been going for grim shield rhyme once I can sort res out) look towards ES?
have been going str(enough for gear) vit rest

gear wise
wep:Spirit
armor:Smoke
Shield:Ancients pledge/Rhyme (if can get res sorted-use to farm nm a bit)
Helm:lore/+skill res/fcr res
basically rest just to sort out res

looking for ways to help issue beyond "buy coh cta" or stupid shit first few days of reset so essentially self found gear (nothing too specific other than things to look out for maybe bloodfist or something like that but options with that)
have been going through game on p2 with a mule (essentially 2nd socket quest esp in norm to get going) and the nodrop mfing in nightmare

essentially im going for tal eth/ral tir from norm countess leveling as fire sorc
depending on gear respecing at 24 or 30 going orb
going roughly 35ish onto nightmare to farm runes
get spirit/insight
more rune farming/andy runs until mid 40's
go through act 3-izzy in a4(diablo if confident)
countess/andy/meph
basically this and adding in act 5 SU's since they can drop up to ist
low-mid 50's go for ancients-baals
high 60's low 70's push for ancient tunnels/andy/meph

issue is unless he is 1 shotting everything before it can touch me, ill get pumbled if it hits me, before even talking about some of the rippy as fuck mods that can spawn in like pit/etc with the fast af bitches slapping the fuck outta u

want a bit less russian roulette :) merc isn't the main issue but will go for holy freeze again normally wut i use have just been testing might(for full blizz)/prayer/defiance


basically its the big burst of damage's im having trouble with
should also note this is hardcore thus if I can't deal with it...cya

play safe: tele out for a long distance

shop magic items with high life and stats/resi



there is nothing to test, might is for geared char and prayer doesnt restore enough in critical situations
