Need help improving my light sorc

Im trying to make the best light sorc i can since its my fav type and cuz i found a near perf griffons.

I want to her to be crazy fast at killing while also get a nice amount of mf.

so here are my questions:

how much dmg a good light sorc will do? mine does 21k with lightning atm is that good or not?

heres my equip:

eschuta +3/20light 1free sox, -5+4 facet will go there

griffons -20+14 with -5+4facet

mara

40% chance

50% WT

arachnid

spirit

enigma MP 12ED

2 random rings: 10fcr, 29fireres, 19str & raven frost

cta 5bo on switch, and spirit is missing but ill take care of that.

inv: 14allres GC

anni 15/20

torch 18/18

crappy mf sc

life: about 2200

mana about 800

high def 16%block

res are a little low but i survive fine, tho i drink potions like crazy. both mana and life.

res are:

f:33

c:50

L:39

P:39

merc is perf with eth forty

325ED eth inf in GT

andi 10ll which will be socketed soon i guess with ias

skill is all at the light tree, no ES no TELE but i cant give up on shiver armor, its 4 pt but its the best defensive trick the soso got.

so i need more mf and more killing power.

rings will be changed to sojs

i need to get 35+ gheed

and then ill have about 240mf, is that enough? any way to get more without hurting killing speed? (im soloing up to 8p game on my own so i need lots of dmg)

how much my killing speed will be hurt if i used isted occu isted shako isted tals arm + tals amu + tals belt? such a build make it very easy to go over 500mf, does it worth it?

one last thing is, I read that griffon +to light dmg doesnt count cuz of a bug, and in the char menu where the dmg is listed that seems to be true, if i take any +1 skills off (griffon or anni) i get the same amout of dmg.

and almost forgot, i read also that the main skill of a light sorc is lightning over chain, is it really better? the only reason i use lightning atm is cuz chain drains too much mana, and i dont have insight merc|||Quick pointers (not going to detail analyse)

1. MF has diminishing returns, and here is a good guide on the details. Essentially with about ~180% MF you will find half as many uniques as having 1000% MF. A good level is about 250-300%. After this the returns are not worth it vs killing speed.

2. FCR breakpoints are very important for light sorcs. Important ones to note are 105, 117 and 200. and maybe u wanna use magefist and some FCR rings or amulets instead. Hitting a higher breakpoint means more damage than +1 or +2 skill.

3. dont use eni on a sorc. An upped viper is pretty much the best choice if you're trying to hit FCR. Remember you can fill your inventory with MF charms or +light skillers|||I think you killing power may decrease but the overall efficiency should be improved because of the MF if you change to three tals parts and shako. Enigma is definitely not for sorc. You need upped vipermagi or chain of honor.|||IMO Griffon is not needed for a good mf light sorc with infinity merc - p.topazed shako is much better. For weapon I'd choose hoto or occu instead of eschutas... For armor get upped vipermagi... The rest is ok - spiderweb,chancies,wartrav's,spirit monarch,mara,2sojs or 2nagels for rings. Make sure to buy a good gheeds and some mf charms or skillers. This is around 200-300mf which is enough.|||she just found 35% gheed...

i already have 117% fcr, dont need more, 200% will sacrifice too much and therefore i dont see why viper would be better.

i have one upped 1007 def 35allres +1sox but it gives me nothing over enigma.

while enigma gives me so much more.

crazy life and +14 after each kill

90MF

FRW

+2 to sk

8DR

all those are unbeatable.

i dont need any more res since i dont ever die.

while infi lower res and break immunes, after breaking immunes their res is still high, i need something to lower it and griffon does that.

atm i run chaos with killing all the monsters in less then a 1min while having about 240mf|||KG's recipe for a 117% fcr, ~30k Lightning (no skillers), ~240 mf, max res, ~1850 life light sorc:

Griff + facet (ist for more mf if desired)

10% fcr, +3 light amulet

Chains of Honor

Oculus + Ist

Spirit monarch

40% chancies

Arach

50% travs

decent res torch (+stats unimportant compared to res)

decent res anni (+stats unimportant compared to res)

Two or three fire res small charms

I would MUCH rather have maxed resistances than 300 extra life.|||You should be able to get more than 21k out of a griff's build, something is wrong there. I have 19k & something like 250% MF out of a full Tals light sorc (torch, but no anni or skillers) which is dirt cheap by comparison and gives -15% lightning resist... plus option to socketing the helm/weapon/armour with facets to get another -15% LR.
