Nice to see an update on the lightning sorceress. I too prefer the nova build . No aiming, energy shield for protection, maxed static for full screens and the option to self wield infinty just make it so much better.

[eugenevanderputte]

Lightning/Chain L sorc is one of my favorite PVM char. My version is a bit different: 4 Tal-rasha set (Orb+Amulet+Armor+Belt) I use Talrasha orb for that -15 to enemy lightning res, with a facet, I have -20 enemy LR on Orb, then Griffon, chance guard, Wartraveler, Soj+ 10 fcr LR ring, Mara. So in the end I have level 38 lightning, 350 MF, 120 fcr, -44 enemy resitstance (20 orb +24 griffon). I use mostly chain lightning, in P1, the chain lightning damage 1-13k (-44 enemy resistance) can one shot almost everything. Merc is using insight, because chain lightning consumes too much mana. In P1 don't need infinity. In P8, I would use Crescent moon + infinity. Cheers.

I prefer using chain lightning - it may hit for less but it is guaranteed damage to multiple targets without really having to aim or swap targets. Plus it is destruction from a distance and chains to targets off screen.

For extra protection I don't max Nova out - it only adds 4% damage per level to CL and I prefer a little more security over taking 1.2 seconds to kill a mob rather than 1.5 seconds.

I throw those points into Telekinesis and Energy shield. With a decent energy shield you don't need the resistances neither. Points are chucked into energy rather than health of course.

200 fcr light sorc is best wearing 1 soj. its less damage than standard but sonic teleport speed is so fun

[jordanteague]

I noticed you dont have your printer listed under your peripherals

[angusmulholland]

Why the COA? Wouldn’t you use viper or enigma?

[josephbailey]

Phil, the videos over time have gotten so incredible. They were always incredible. But your growth as a d2r expert and how you deliver it is phenomenal. Keep it up!!

[grantmacdonald]

This is a real solid build but I think you could potentially do better with an enigma mage or even dusk depending on base str from anni and torch, it is of course going to take some pretty souped up 7mf/11 res SCs plus the odd 5fhr/res - ive always been a huge fan of the real 'real' max vita light sorc and the str from eni just gives you that much vita in the end, but yea those charms arent gonna come quick or easy on single player. Also I've never played with sunder, but I do remember light sorc scaling kind of poorly with player count pre-sunder, this seems like a different ball game though. Up to p5 was typically the sweet point back then if i recall correctly. Another slight deviation from my old cookie cutter kit would be dropping the fcr amu for maras while using magefists instead, imo worth dropping chancies for the mana increase plus up to 30 extra res from maras plus the +2 all skills for a meatier BO, my max vita sorcs were in the 2800 range buffed

[Lurch]

So if your merc is wielding infinity you DO NOT receive that -51 enemy lightning res?

[dustinbaker]

I use Vipermagi instead of chain of honors phoenix instead of spirit and maras one Soj one faster cast ring damage isn’t quite as high but the redemption makes up for it.

[mekkiepoo]

I like nova, but I'm not a fan of using lightning.. would a frozen orb + nova sorc be viable? since so few synergies are needed?

[alexbarcan]

Gotta appreciate this man's dedication to Diablo 2.
Give it a shot to the new D4 season aswell if you want Phil!
Might be fun

[balkthor]

Been rocking the Nova sorc with 3 piece tal set for a couple months now, think I'll give this a try. Abysmal luck on the skiller charms so I only have 2.

[svenlauke]

hey sweet Phil. I have, in the span of 2 weeks, found a Jah and a Ber rune on Single player. I have never crafted a significant rune word above call to arms. what are your suggestions I use it for, given the low chance of finding additional ones soon?

(oh and I also found a chem rune in the same time span but thats less relevant for rune words)

[rounders]

Any tips on how to do this build with self wield infinity and for HC. Is energy shield the way to go.

[MrPeperoni]

What about wearing Crescent Moon and using UMed Viper as armor? Option?

[AronFigaro]

So why is Thunder Storm never played, out of curiosity? Damage seems low but it seems to stack on top of lightning damage just fine?

[Zara]

Question: I have an eth thresher for single player I was gonna make an infinity in. It’s for a merc but is this the best base if I wanna be able to have a sorc wield it as well? I don’t want my merc constantly dying

[NycViking]

Rocking 4 piece tala for -15 light res 19/11 griffs, spirit shield, chancies, and cow king boots because i havent found war travs yet lol.

[moosemooserton]

Had never played sorc made one last night and went lightning because I found a + to lightning staff, loving it just finished act one.
