Hey guys, as much as I know this type of sorc is mentioned, I couldn't find any general consensus as to what gear is considered the best. I know the general outline to have a pure light sorc for pvp/countess/etc runs, and I know the outline to have a pure mf sorc. But I'm not sure what is the best blend of gears for it to be both.
My current layout is this.
Shako /w Topaz
5/5 P Light Eschuta
CoH
Spirit
2x Soj
Maras
Arach
Magefist
War Travs
4x Light Gcs
Anni/Torch
None in dex, all in life.
Merc has:
Eth Infinity
Eth Fort
Eth Vamp Gaze
Is it fine just to leave it the way it is and run amok? Or do I need to change something here to have the optimal light mfer?|||You might want to get a griff for the -ELR, I bet it takes you a while to kill anything with a broken immunity.|||Optimal is probably a 200FCR build....IIRC the highest BP for Lightning, as well as Fire, is 200FCR, maybe I'm wrong though...
Otherwise yes, Griffs.|||You can also use a crescent moon instead of the eschutas.|||Quote:

There's no exact consensus because there's no exact best. You're balancing killing speed and mf and it ultimately depends on what your personal goals are.
PvP wise, your charm filled inventory is the biggest difference, because one of the main points of pvm is finding things worth picking up.
But for general pvm, you simply have to decide for yourself what you sacrifice for MF. There's no "perfect blend", as what may be perfect for you isn't good enough for someone else.|||I understand.
Is 200 fcr worth it though? I'm not sure how its possible to attain that... I currently switched my maras and shako to a 2 skiller/10 fcr amulet and griffons and I've yet to see how I can hit the 200 fcr with my current set up.|||Quote:

200 fcr is nice to have if you tele a lot (tower, arcane, rushing).
You can't with your current items, you need to change a lot.
20fcr amu is good start, gives some freedom for other slots.
As 220 fcr is max so you are allowed to 'loose' 20 fcr.
So 2xsoj is possible if you use max fcr in other slots.
You can't use CoH, Vipermagi is only valid armor.
Is it worth? You need to at least try it once, its fun char to play.
I personally want to kill faster ( CM,Griffon(facet),Vipermagi(facet) ), so 200 fcr build is not for me.|||Quote:

Otherwise yes, Griffs.
The lightning/chain lightning breakpoint is actually 194 fcr. So I suppose you could use a 2/20 circlet instead of a griff, or a 15 fcr amulet instead of a 20.
In my experience, 200fcr kills much faster in low player count games. You already 1-hit-kill most things so the faster you cast, the faster you kill. This also causes you to pick up those strays that got hit for 1 damage by the first cast faster.
Mikolas, a basic/relatively cheap 200fcr build looks something like this:
Griffon's Eye
10% fcr ammy
Vipermagi
magefists
Hoto/eschuta
35 fcr spirit
10% fcr ring x2
magefist
arach
any boots
You could substitute a wizard spike or suicide branch for your weapon and use Mara's or a SoJ if either of those suited your needs better.|||The point of hitting 200 fcr is also for teleport, if you're going to hit 194, 200 isn't far out of reach. For lightning, no helm does better than griffon's, as most people fail to consider the damage impact of its -elr, even when combined with conviction.|||I agree with what you said, I just wanted to disseminate some information. :P
Yeah, you definitely need -ELR to be effective. If you just relied on conviction you'd have to let your merc kill any lightning immunes or stand there blasting them all day. With griff you can get them down to a reasonable LR and make them crispy critters.
