  • Awesome build. I prefer 105 fcr self-held infinity w. a merc wearing insight personally. It's awesome to find a content creator who actually knows what they're talking about.

  • Great idea, and by no means does this break the spec, but those staff skill mods are impossible. You can't get a lvl 1 skill and a lvl 24/30 skill on a staff: lvl 1 skills require ilvl 18 lvl 24 skills require ilvl >24 lvl 30 skills require ilvl >36. So you'd need to drop warmth on your attack staff for something else, and pick a different cold armor for your buffing staff. Maybe Thunderstrom for offensive staff, and enchant+shiver armor on the offhand?

    • swap warmth to energy shield

      @ZzDuffy@ZzDuffy2 жыл бұрын
    • I don't think you need Energy Shield, actually. In this video, the buff to Energy Shield on his swap did absolutely 0 for him, because +3 ES and +1 all skills was the exact same as the +4 on his main weapon. You can see that he's at 39 for the skill, and it maxes out at 40. But also, looking at his charms, he has space for one more skiller (by ditching his TP tome and a single small charm). So add one skiller and there you go, maxed out at level 40. Thunderstorm might be the better answer, then. A +3 to Thunderstorm on the staff gets you a level 23 Thunderstorm with a full synergy (If you get that extra skiller too), and that's probably not too impactful compared to your Nova damage, but it's not nothing, and ought to at least look cool. You know, if you're rich enough to be able to buy a staff that is +3 Nova, +3 TS, and +3 LM. I'm certainly not and could never see myself making that sort of investment. While we're on the subject of skills on staves, his staff on switch has T-storm, which is useless (goes away as soon as he switches to his main staff), and ES, which is useless (same bonus on main), and frozen armor. Frozen Armor is theoretically possible in a War Staff, if you were to cube recipe a low quality war staff to get an ultra low ilvl (which Larzuk would still give 5 sockets to), but I have to wonder if that sort of effort is really worth saving one measly skill point, when the alternative is to pair your CTA with a shield that gives you an extra bonus to all skills, buffing up your BO. That seems like a better plan to me.

  • I could definitely see this being a late-game build with some early-game potential, especially in a group setting. Being able to max Static and focus on Teleport, FCR, and Mana pools early would be huge. Maybe wield your own Insight until you can afford an Obsession, keep an eye out for some early stat-sticks to tide you over until you find both supreme 3x+3 6os/5os dream sticks. Sadly it still suffers from being a Lightning build, so demand for these items is already going to be obscenely high at the beginning of the season, and remain in high demand well through to the end of the season. Solo Sorcs are still probably better with Hydra/Blizzard until they can stack enough gear to respec into something a bit more flexible. Glad to see some 1.09 love back in action, though!

Still might be worth it, though :) I'm more concerned with the Ber Runes, considering damage to mana happens before Resistances are applied. so the 16% DR only works on 5% of the damage that goes thru the ES. Not sure, whether D2R changed much regarding the Icetree Armors, but iirc the higher tier armors were much better than the one you get at level 1. especially the one that retaliates ranged attacks with a freeze might be an exceptional choice, given that ES sorcs are quite weak to extra fast archers, esp. with manaburn

    • Early game nova Sorcs use Static in a rotation so they really aren't any more mana heavy. Especially in Norm. Until you've got an Insight merc, every Sorc build is chugging mana pots anyways. This specific build would be squishy af early on (first 24 levels at least) if you only put into energy buuuut it would have a lot less mana issues. Good with a friend and for NM teleporting. I would say, Nova is prolly better for key/rune farming and Hydraball is better for item farming, generally. Hydraball is better in the area level 85 game, too, with the Stony Tomb, Drifter Cavern, Icy Cellar addition. Until you have Infinity, that is.

  • Very cool, NOVA is one of the funniest builds to play. I'm wondering if its worth to go from 105 FCR to 200. The DPS with 200 FCR is 14% higher than with 105 FCR but a big sacrifice has to be done to reach that 200 FCR which might not be worth it from a DPS perspective. For example 105 FCR can be reached by using Eldrich 40, Griffon 25, Arach 20 and Ormus 20 and there is still space left for other options like 2x SOJ, Frost Gauntlets, Mara, Jmod with 4x 5/5 and other options which combined would probably provide more than the 14% increase in DPS that the 200 FCR provides. Sure 200 FCR is more fun than 105 tho. In any case, being able to play NOVA again feels great :D

  • I think it defo looks awesome. Imo the best of all is survivability first along with maximum killing potential. Self Infi while having Eth insight on a Prayer Merc (yes prayer goes well with meditation) then the rest is pretty much the same with few changes. While the rune word staff is great and all, you have to get infi to the Merc and lose survivability on tough situations. I liked the “different” vibes though, amazing video and I am kinda glad game is evolving after all these years!

  • Nice video Coooley, only thing I think you should have mentioned was that you can build this sorc for much cheaper than you presented by taking away the ber runes, the perfect +skill archon staves, and the insane perfect charms and jewelry. I get that this video was basically demonstrating the perfect gg nova sorc. Just putting that out there for all the viewers who might think this build is out of their reach. The only expensive items this sorc needs is griffin's and infinity. You don't even need griffins if you go the hoto, spirit, 20 fcr circlet route.

  • You should test it out, but Thunderstorm with no points into the skill deals no damage even if you manage to cast it with +X Thunderstorm staff. You should check out the damage in the moor and see if it works. That's an old bug from D2 Classic. Let's hope it works in D2R. So basically, you keep the buff, but it deals no damage.

  • Really cool build! However, I'd like to see a test of this on the realms, because latency really screws up teleport once you get into the high FCR breakpoints. My paladin at 125 FCR (9 frames) gets that quite frequently. If I went for a 200 FCR (7 frames) sorc, this issue would become ridiculous and unplayable. I really hope Blizz will fix some of these latency issues, because as is, their servers simply don't respond fast enough to the client for this to be possible online.

    • Infinity is essential. So there is no super cheap alternative unless you have a paladin friend with conviction (which is the most popular aura in the most popular build of 2.4, the fohdin). Probably have to stick to 105, because 2/20 amulets arent reasonable at reset. 3 pc tal with spirit, shako, and occy/hoto/eschutas, or full tals. Gloves could be frosties, mage fist, or chancies. Boots are silkweave or marrowalks. Rings natures peace and dwarf star both have decent integer damage reduction to help es.

  • you know the weird thing about this build is that i'm not convinced it's much better than a pre-patch frost nova sorceress with the best gear. i mean you get max frost nova, max frozen orb, max blizzard, only need 1 point into cold mastery for -150% cold resists, max ice bolt, max ice blast. 1500 frost nova damage, 1500 frozen orb, 10k blizzard, 10k ice blast damage all rolled into 1 character. when you consider the changes to casting delays not sharing the same timers and a 25% damage to frost nova it will be even better. [gear suggestion, deaths fathom, nightwings veil, enigma, spirit, trang glove, 1 soj, 1 rare fcr ring, arachnid mesh, maras or crafted amulet.] you could even swap for a 15% frost nova ormus for overkill. the only advantage this build has is breaking certain immunities but with the standard ereapers toll, gface, fort/treachery might merc 1-2 shotting most immunes anyway the kill speed difference is miniscule in most areas (except that second baal wave that's horrid)

      @markmauk8231@markmauk82312 жыл бұрын
    • @@markmauk8231 I'd say that depends on the situation. At a certain point regular mobs will die with 1-2 novas, in P1-3 anyway. So at that point more fcr technically wins because you become more efficient teleing and killing. I use it situational. Like for keys/cows there is nothing better than 200fcr. But for tc85 runs etc I use 105fcr with almost 400mf (again p1-3). But if you're talking high players settings, LIs become a problem. Broken LIs still have a lot of resistance so for those mobs anything with -res will be a big improvement no matter what breakpoint. In those situations infinity or even crescent moon (-35lres I think) is huge. But then again cows don't have a lot of resistance so adding more absolute dmg is better (don't know the exact numbers but you get the point). Overall obsession with the right base will probably be a little better than hoto+spirit or wearing infinity (with Obsession +2/20fcr amu is a must and those are rare). But as soon as broken LIs are involved, infinity gives a full 55%dmg on top of everything compared to a couple hundred (?) more absolut dmg (from +skills), that still gets reduced heavily by the resistance of broken LIs. I think it's great design because it's a complex system and you have a few different options that all work great depending on the situation. For me personally I'll probably keep using a second element to solve the LI problem (atm Blizzard but hydra should be good!) and use 200fcr because it feels great. And then 105fcr/400mf for some of the fastest p1-3 solo runs.
