The Mf total is so low though are you sure the Blizz sorc wouldnt end up being more efficient because they stack more Mf or the clear speed makes the light sorc better? Also is a Hammerdin competitive in other places then chaos Sanc? thanks!
yeah.. that is always so absurd to me.. like these items :/ i played diablo on and off since release (but i dont trade much). so if i combine all my stuff i could maybe build this character. lol. i have found 3-4 HRs maybe (not counting Path of diablo and the likes, because increased drop chances). sure thing I will have enigma on my "first diablo 2 resurrected farm build". and infinity. rofl. other then that solid guide I guess? hyped for the release in september for sure!
I like to make a budget smiter and rush Ubers on resets. Have a friend or 2 that play with you and help farm keys, get torches and make any build you want. Doesn't even take much knowledge about the game, there are tons of guides/videos on how to gear and how to do it. I've even done it on a HC ladder but I waited till I got more than a bare minimum budget character to try lol.
You don't necessarily need end game items for this character. Something as simple as a +3 lightning circlet can replace Griffon's, +3 lightning amulet (and preferable to me) can replace Mara's. You can also use Silkweaves for more mana if you don't care about having magic find on every piece of gear. Until you can make Enigma, can always use Skin of the Vipermagi or something else that gives plus skills. There are gear options out there besides what he is showing and depending on your preference could be even more preferable. Also, if you want to do Key farming with Countess, Nhilathak, and Summoner to trade, an Infinity is not necessary at all. Just have Insight on your merc and you're good.
I have an Eschutas Temper on my main and off hands now just to spite Dbrunski. I went to Nalya and named both them "Dbrunski 1" and "Dbrunski 2". Lastly, I socketed them both with Zod runes so they can never get damaged. They will live on forever.

I really enjoy your videos, you explain things well and dont ramble which makes you easy to listen to. and i like how you put chapters on ur videos! thanks again!
Hey, @Dbrunski125. If you are playing on plugy 1.14d there is a certain bug that can brick your character. the thing is you can equip multiple unique charms in your inventory. All you need to do is transfer those charms to your inventory directly from your stash but be careful with displacing them around your inventory or you might need to repeat the process. It applies to all unique charms ie torch Anni and Gheed's
Your vids def got me back in to d2 a year or so ago after like 10 years of not even thinking about this game and I’ve been having so much fun. Thanks man. Appreciate what you do. I’ve been using a much cheaper version of this build and it’s still great (after farming stuff on pally lmao).
Eschuta's is good because you can socket it with a facet, bringing light resist down another 5%. With dual SOJ you have plenty of mana and don't forget Eschuta's gets 20-30 energy so the mana boost from HOTO is negligible at best. And with torch and anni and charms you don't need HOTO for resists.
Personally, I like to start with a firewall/lite sorc. Max out firewall, 1 point into fire mastery, then 1 (or more) point(s) into warmth, 1 point into teleport, max out lightning, lightning and all other skill points into chain lightning/lightning mastery/charged bolt. Run Mephisto (nm) for items to use/sell. Run Countess (Hell) (can use a mercenary as needed). Once you’re about level 80ish and have a decent setup add in The Pit to your runs. Farm until you can build your infinity.
Hey man! Love the videos you put out. Do you think it's possible to run Nihlathak without top end gear like this? Do you think I could run it with like +117 fcr, +10 all skills, maxed resists?
Idk if thing changed a lot or not, but we would either use COH or fortitude for our light sorc and it seemed to do better than the enigma sorc... Again this was ages ago and we would run Baal together... There was 3 of us doing legit Baal runs for a few years when infinity came out. Do you know if things changed? Thanks bro
Probably any melee or light/cold/fire will need a end game merc weapon with conviction aura or amplify damage This is why hammerdins and necromancers will be the best classes to play during D2R
My favorite sorceress building is fire and lighting build a good amount of points into warmth for mana regenerate and mana shield for God mode. The rest is up to you on what you want to invest. underrated fire wall and Hydra. Op chain lightning until immunity to magic then just hit enemy even harder until they die 😈.
I like the official video you did for Lightning Sorc. It seems between this video and that, you switched to 4-piece Tal Rasha set. Is 4-piece Tal Rasha better than this? Or is it situational? Would love more insight into this! I assume -15% lightning resist adds a lot of additional damage and with the rest of the Tal Rasha bonuses, you get tons of FCR, MF, and resists, but you lose out on some health and mana due to not having + all skills (and instead having + sorc skills) which impacts your BO from CtA?
Hey Dbrunski, Do you have any guides or videos on how you would level a sorc from scratch? Im hearing a lot of people saying to level fire or lightning to start then respec to Blizzard. But Im confused on what to spec into, When to reroll, Etc. I want to make sure I get the best start I can in D2R
ive always leveled as a cold sorc and its fairly easy. i wouldnt respec to lightning until you can get infinity, or party with a pally using conviction. i just stay frozen orb doing countess runs and whatever other areas i can clear with blizz/orb until i build up a decent stash of runes and other uniques / runewords. most sorc builds will be fine until hell when tons of immunes start showing up
when i leveled my last smiter i used crescent moon w/ zeal and it was awesome. static field and lighting procs just kick ass when you're hitting 5 times per second... plus IAS, open wounds, ignore target defense... kinda thinking of making a holy shock zealer with crescent moon just for fun, but fanat is just so amazing for zeal so idk. anyway this is pretty much unrelated to your question so i apologize
Hi, isnt it better to invest energy instead of vitality and then rest of the points in energy shield. Thats how it worked back in a day when I used to place v1.09
maybe if you're playing with a merc using insight... tele'ing into a pack and having your mana drop to 0 sucks cause then you cant tele and just die. some people prefer e shield but overall id say dumping into vita is better
Hi. I am building a fire sorc. How about deliruim helm for merc for extra crowd control? I need a weapon with life steal. I have a spare treachery armor. Ps. I dropped a Gul today.
congratz, for the Gul rune Delirium can be okay for merc even tho it's not the best in slot option. If you want crowd control put a lawbringer to your merc act 5. It will give you life steel + crowd control. With delirium and treachery it can be fun. Plus it's cheap to make. It will do the job until you get the rune to make infinity and switch to act 2 merc.
Do fire sorceress with frozen orb, very fun and underrated build. All people do is lighning and blizzard. You can farm many areas (not all at top speed but satisfactory). Areas include Mausoleum (awesome), Mephisto and all the minions there, Andariel, Pits, Drifter Cavern, Ancient Tunnels, WSK level 1 and 2 more often than not do not have fire immunes and Baal. Only the final wave can slow you down because they are always fire immune and you can't break it so you rely mostly on the merc or skip them or lower the players difficulty and you'll have no problems. Worst area is Chaos Sanctuary. Great videos keep them coming
@The Monster Under Your Bed I meant fireball and not meteor so much, although meteor does a lot of damage and can be useful. Actually I've found that blizzard is not so effective againt enemies that are not moving as they can sit on a spot where blizzard does not hit and meteor is bad against moving enemies
@The Monster Under Your Bed You are wrong in your assumption. Skills such as blizzard and fissure actually deal MORE damage if the target is moving trough them than if they stand still. If you want to kill stuff quickly you need to position your blizzard and teleport so that the monsters walk trough it as much as possible.
How would I go around farming the HRs for Infinity on ladder, where the map changes each time? LK chest farming must not be ideal... Cows on Necro/Amazon or Travincal on Barb/Paladin??
Pit runs and Chaos Sanctuary. It's all really luck of the draw. Only way to increase your odds is to kill more mobs. Magic find has no effect on runes so it's literally luck.
i thought there were a lot better options than treachery for merc armor, i always looked at treachery as a cheap option, eth shaftstop with an um rune should be better?
Great video hopefully one day I can make this character for myself lol. How are people able to make these kinds of insane characters in a ladder amount of time? That is if they are playing legitimately and not using bots of course. I've been playing with my plugy for a good 7-8 months now and I haven't even got my first enigma yet!
@@lightninger2206 Only single player atm. So I am able to do p8 Lk/trav runs and everything which I do but I just have zero luck apparently lol. Which is why it blows my mind how anyone is able to find any high runes and GG gear in a few weeks time on bnet
Really just comes down to how much you grind and trade. I collected all this over 2 years. On ladder trading helps tho. But yes its a little out of reach for the casual player.
This look like a expensive build so is there another option to survive nightmare etc with Lower items with light sorc or is the light sorc completely a high budget build ?
Db125 - as usual i always enjoy your D2 videos. having said that.. i wanna comment about two different things related to this specific videos. 1. the full inventory ( assuming D2 resurrected won't get a separate charms inventory ). people are basically starting from zero in the upcoming release.. so using a full inventory with charms means you never pick up like 95% of the drops. that should be years away from the starting point.. so i don't really get the purpose of using a full inventory if it's for mfing and especially on the first year or so. 2. you posted a great video of a light sorcs, using 4 tal pieces. now back in the day.. i don't know probably years ago i used a similar build. i belive that 4 tal's is a better option overall from the posted light sorcs build in this video. i would adjust some items ( Merc will be similiar ) to this build: 4 x Tal ( Orb - "isted or 5\5 faceted", Amu, Armor - "'um", Belt ), Spirit, Magefists, Aldurs boots, Soj, Wisp, Griffon -"um". inventory with Anni,Torch and 2 x 5Fhr\Res sc's, Gheeds, a key, and TP+Identify tomes. this build in general gives max and a bit stacked Res, Light absorb, very solid Mana Reg + Mana Pool, 86 Fhr, around 230% MF, 60% FREE inventory which i consider to be solid factor, a good amount of -%Light from Griff and 4xTal's bonus, and of course 117 Fcr. i feel that your 4 Tal's video is a better version than the more familiar light sorcs build with Enigma :) much respect.
Problem being that for the -35% light res to kick in, the merc needs to hit the mob so it's going to be very slow to apply that to a pack of mobs since it's not an aura. Not sure if it applied the -35% light res to all when it procs static tho, but that's still only a 7% chance of happening. If i have to rely on something like that i would rather stay cold until i farmed up what i needed for infinity.
Even if he hits something, it will be effective for the merc only... The minus on the weapon will not transcribe to yours unless it's on your weapon and even tho it will not break immune, but just add to the minus res appliable for the monster. That's why the minus lightning res on infinity doesn't work for you when it is used by the merc. Unless you'r using the infinity yourself it's not appliable... The static will work as a AoE of course but won't make the minus res appliable after hitting something... I would not build a crescent moon in polearms. While waiting for the infinity, you should build a harmony merc for the fast run walk, an insight or lawbringer for an act5 merc instead. It will do more for you than a crescent moon for the same rune investment or less.
Actually in your example "mana increase" was only by 9, since you have low base mana so 22 energy virtually equals 15% max mana giving HotO only res as a bonus. Not really a dramatic change either way. One is little bit more secure, other is bit more damaging.
So I love the video but I have two questions. 1. Where is your CBF for the build since you’re not using raven? 2. Why ist in the helm instead of a 5/5 facet?
There is no need for CBF on casters, being frozen doesn't affect casting speed in D2lod You can socket whatever in griffon, RBF, Jewel, Rune, he used ist because it's a "mf" build, 40k damage is more than enough as you can see
Will the budget blizz sorc build you released last year still be viable in D2 ressurected? I need a reliable farming character so I can build my two other favorite characters up xD
Just wondering…. I haven’t seen ANY Diablo 2 resurrected videos on if you can Castswap?.?and I love your blizzard sorc budget build but maybe make one for Controller use…?? I can see lightning working Great on controller..!! But blizzard… not so much.?? Cause I use to run away and cast In front of them… on controller when you cast it casts Right above them… and sometimes misses because there already out of it by the time the bolts hit the ground….just wondering is there a build that can do Ubers ON Controller..??
I had a my sorc last time I played built it up similar to this but hoto and griffin’s are definitely not needed when you are mfing an occu and shako both isted stacks so much more mf but you still have enough damage to farm any where also I only ran with 2 sks rest mf had no issues with kill/clear speed with chaos or Baal minions
How does 20% lightning skill damage only add like 300 damage? I miss when things made sense like getting the zerk buff in WoW which was 30% damage increase and 1 shotting 5 people at once with whirlwind/cleave macro as a war. My light sorc used to have 87k lightning on LoD not 100% what gear I used as it was like 15 years ago but he had Ormus and Oculus then I swapped to something else weapon wise for damage instead of MFing. Heard they nerfed Light sorc damage in 1.13 or something, no point in doing that since it's 1-87k it rarely ever did max damage anyways.
i actually enjoyed a nova sorc as my starter on the last ladder and got an ist from countess on the first weekend, it was nova and frozen orb. I farmed countess and the summoner with her, then nihlathak once i got really high fcr and defences. Overall it wasnt that bad once i got high fcr, i never got infinity though. It was very rough at the very start before i had good fcr though.
too expensive for a "farmer" build, im ok with one expensive item for a Op build, but this dont make any sense. and maybe im wrong but crescent moon is better than hoto and eschuta in terms of DPS, and much cheaper.
Eschutas (happy smart ass?)should only be used if it’s perfect and soc with perf 5/5 die light facet but even then hoto has a lot of other benefits hard to pass up
I'm new to D2 and playing Resurrected on my Ps5. Could someone tell me how magic find works in groups? Will players MF be added, does it take the average or just the highest MF of people in the group? Thabk you in advance ^-^.
Respectfully disagree about the infinity requirement. Of course it makes things waaaaayyyyy easier, but you can still make it work really well, just need to play smart and avoid lightning immunes. If you like a challenge, lightsorc without infinity is still pretty fun especially since you actually need to pay attention.
Yea everything is possible, but it will be bad. Some people even play with inferno. Everything is possible. At this point, without infinity, lightning have no advantages compared to other elements. If you like to play it that way you can but alot of build will be better. Anyway we play for fun so if it make you happy i'm good with that. :)
@@vb6427 after 20 years of d2, idk about you, but I'm personally soooooo tired of the meta builds 🤷♂️. Now that you mention it, maybe it's time to try inferno.... 😂😂😂
Definitely a solid build on I'm trying to do one like it myself the skill points are just fine on my bill but I just need to get more of the gear I'm trying but sometimes it's easier said than done
The facet does account for even more dmg correct (mostly from the extra minus res). But if you want the minus res use crescent moon it stomps. Or 4 piece tals with griffins.
The only issue I have with crescent moon is that FCR loss, both hoto and eschuta have 40%. This can be a problem if you are just at the 117 break point because that brings it down to 77, 1 point below the 78 break point for lightning.
Eschutas 3/20 with 5/5 facet is best in slot for the L-Sorc. Period. An end game L-Sorc does not need additional Resi / mana. Its capped already, you 1-2 shot almost all random mobs. 1.5k extra damage is always welcome, all tough barely noticeable. It looks allot better also imo then a random flail
Will i find more uniques with 200-250 mf or with 500+ mf? I've seen plenty of videos that say the beat mf is under 300 or else more rare and magic items pop up over uniques. I feel like ur going to know the answer to this. Any info will help.
Rule of thumb: use BiS gear. Most BiS gear will land you 200 mf anyway. Specially for sorc. For advanced builds like pit-berzerker you can use 6-isted crystal sword in off hand.
Clear speed> high mf. For example it would be more efficient to clear cows under 5 mins with 100 mf vs clearing cows in 10mins with high mf. I believe 450 mf is the max amount you should go because anything over little in return.
Absolute bullshit. More MF is always more uniques because the game decides the rarity from unique down. (unique > set > rare > magic > socketed/ethereal > white). The reason why most ppl suggest around 200 MF is because MF has very hard diminishing returns and above 200 the benefit is so small you don't want to sacrifice your kill speed for it.
@@Acaran The faster you kill the higher chance there is for something to drop. The D2 vanilla back in the days your statement would be true but that was patch over before LOD. Its always good to try to stack mf where you could without effecting your kill speed.
We will be seeing lots of necromancers and paladins during the D2R for sure Either hammerdins , bone nec or summoner nec. They are like the best all rounder and no worries for immunity
The only downside to hammerdins are magic immunes where you need to use holy bolt and that some crammed space like ancient tunnels is a nightmare to farm in. Probably why most people do chaos runs with it.
this game should have a "Pergatory" server which would be a server where you can pvp and continue to progress your build with no seasons. the Pergatory server would be where your character can move to after seasons complete and where you can continue to farm for everythings youd find in a seasonal server. it could have its own ladder as well and your character will never be deleted
Play my sorc exactly like you, but dont have tri mf 30/10 boots :D Gz (only wts) Love this build but would be very hard to get 3 Ber and a Jah. Low buged alternative for eni is scullders, more mf, 1sk and free slot (Um or nice Jool) (My last prefer areas is Baal 1-3 to find high items/Runes) Btw: Are ebug possible? U try it?
used to be part of a diablo ladder community, which produced the first 99 several years in a row. 2 builds are much liked for obvious reasons: javazon for insane dps and CE necro with appropriate cursing. At top tier baalrunning, a CS zerker to add diablo kill experience for the higher level players is one too that is not uncommon, besides that early battle orders is juicy for speeding through the content. i therefor wholly disagree with his claim about the amount of sorcs.
Don't know why there is this crusade against Eschuta's temper honnestly, but it still a viable option. Spirit, Oculus are good also and wizard spike can also have its use. All have their own advantages. Oculus if you don't mind the teleport or manage to avoid most hit is a good option and gives good MF source. The thing is that you can make it work with alot of weapon. Hoto is good for the all res 3 all skill and 40 fcr and mana boost. Same for Eschuta's temper exept you don't get the all res but lightning damage instead plus you can put something in it. If you'r starting, use a spirit, it will do just fine and the FHR will no be a problem plus it gives a good life boost which all of the others are not. But if you want you can even make a crescent moon if you can get your FCR and mana boost somewhere else. It's so cheap to make.
He never said don't use ET if you don't have a HOTO. He said the marginal increased damage of ET isn't worth the extra benefits that HOTO brings. Clearly you should use ET in your setup, you don't have HOTO yet.
Is it confirmed, or assumed to be confirmed that there will be unlimited respecs? Like for example, I'll only need to level one paladin for both a hdin and a smiter and I can swap between at any time? Been thinking about what I'm going to make as my first d2r character and that knowledge would def affect my decision.
@@Acaran Oh I see. I played a looot of D2 back in the 2000s and did a decent amount of farming but never came across those items. I only heard about them recently and just assumed they were a feature added into private servers like PoD
You never mentioned how many MF did this build had... i guess no more than 200 which is nothing. I ma currently running a Tal Rasha MF Light Sorc with 430 MF and same clearing speed. There is no other gear that can beat Tal Rasha for MF.

the keypoint of this build is have a merc with infinity
Without it you can never bypass immunity

Hey, @Dbrunski125. If you are playing on plugy 1.14d there is a certain bug that can brick your character. the thing is you can equip multiple unique charms in your inventory. All you need to do is transfer those charms to your inventory directly from your stash but be careful with displacing them around your inventory or you might need to repeat the process. It applies to all unique charms ie torch Anni and Gheed's
Thank you.. next a refresher on lightning javazon?
You're by far the best D2 content creator out here. Keep up the excellent work. I'll be using few of your videos when D2R comes out.
not much competition for that, all a bunch of rejects
Your vids def got me back in to d2 a year or so ago after like 10 years of not even thinking about this game and I’ve been having so much fun. Thanks man. Appreciate what you do. I’ve been using a much cheaper version of this build and it’s still great (after farming stuff on pally lmao).
Eschuta's is good because you can socket it with a facet, bringing light resist down another 5%. With dual SOJ you have plenty of mana and don't forget Eschuta's gets 20-30 energy so the mana boost from HOTO is negligible at best. And with torch and anni and charms you don't need HOTO for resists.
3/3/3 S Socs Orbs > CM > Hoto > Eschutas
You should fire up vanilla PlugY and finish the grail briths.
DbrunsDetective
Personally, I like to start with a firewall/lite sorc. Max out firewall, 1 point into fire mastery, then 1 (or more) point(s) into warmth, 1 point into teleport, max out lightning, lightning and all other skill points into chain lightning/lightning mastery/charged bolt.
Run Mephisto (nm) for items to use/sell. Run Countess (Hell) (can use a mercenary as needed). Once you’re about level 80ish and have a decent setup add in The Pit to your runs. Farm until you can build your infinity.
Please watch 8:30
Most important part for any cold / lightning / fire builds
Hey man! Love the videos you put out.
Do you think it's possible to run Nihlathak without top end gear like this? Do you think I could run it with like +117 fcr, +10 all skills, maxed resists?
Put on "natures peace" as one of your rings and you're good to go
Idk if thing changed a lot or not, but we would either use COH or fortitude for our light sorc and it seemed to do better than the enigma sorc... Again this was ages ago and we would run Baal together... There was 3 of us doing legit Baal runs for a few years when infinity came out. Do you know if things changed? Thanks bro
Please tell me in 1.14d how to find hell fire and anlihilus? Thank you very much!
Probably any melee or light/cold/fire will need a end game merc weapon with conviction aura or amplify damage
This is why hammerdins and necromancers will be the best classes to play during D2R
My favorite sorceress building is fire and lighting build a good amount of points into warmth for mana regenerate and mana shield for God mode. The rest is up to you on what you want to invest. underrated fire wall and Hydra. Op chain lightning until immunity to magic then just hit enemy even harder until they die 😈.
lol you are all over the place.. you dont have 200 skill points for all of that lol
whats better for a lighning sorc? spirit or crescent moon?
Also sheet damage or fcr break point in terms of these two?
I can honestly say I didn’t know about the lightning FCR break points. Good stuff as always.
does your point with add. light damage on eschutas also apply for fire and cold?
I like the official video you did for Lightning Sorc. It seems between this video and that, you switched to 4-piece Tal Rasha set. Is 4-piece Tal Rasha better than this? Or is it situational? Would love more insight into this! I assume -15% lightning resist adds a lot of additional damage and with the rest of the Tal Rasha bonuses, you get tons of FCR, MF, and resists, but you lose out on some health and mana due to not having + all skills (and instead having + sorc skills) which impacts your BO from CtA?
Do you have a Sorc build on using Mana Shield?
Hi, do you have a video which shows how you get the lighting soso to this so beginning mid and this being the endgame build ?
There is no such thing as a viable light Sorc in beginning and mid game. It just doesn’t work. Lightning is the best for a reason, it’s expensive.
Welche Zauberin würdest du für Solo Spieler empfehlen, von normal bis Hölle?
Hey Db, do you got that guide for the starter Sorc build you need to grind up to achieve this Sorc?
I think it's this one ruclips.net/video/FwdJ93_8jZ4/видео.html&ab_channel=Dbrunski125
hi dbrunski im new at d2r. How can ur merc wield a thresher when you dont have enough points for dexterity?
"you can make that call.... but... just do not use eschuta's temper." :D
Hey Dbrunski, Do you have any guides or videos on how you would level a sorc from scratch? Im hearing a lot of people saying to level fire or lightning to start then respec to Blizzard. But Im confused on what to spec into, When to reroll, Etc. I want to make sure I get the best start I can in D2R
ive always leveled as a cold sorc and its fairly easy. i wouldnt respec to lightning until you can get infinity, or party with a pally using conviction. i just stay frozen orb doing countess runs and whatever other areas i can clear with blizz/orb until i build up a decent stash of runes and other uniques / runewords. most sorc builds will be fine until hell when tons of immunes start showing up
What's the deal with using Enigma when you have teleport as a skill? Aren't there much more beneficial armors out there?
How does the Loot works on D2-R is it the old system? whoever picks up first gets the item or maybe everyone sees different drops?
One drop for the whole party, whoever picks it up keeps it
What is your opinion on using crescent moon on main weapon? I'd the -light res worth it?
For max dmg its king
when i leveled my last smiter i used crescent moon w/ zeal and it was awesome. static field and lighting procs just kick ass when you're hitting 5 times per second... plus IAS, open wounds, ignore target defense... kinda thinking of making a holy shock zealer with crescent moon just for fun, but fanat is just so amazing for zeal so idk. anyway this is pretty much unrelated to your question so i apologize
Hi, isnt it better to invest energy instead of vitality and then rest of the points in energy shield. Thats how it worked back in a day when I used to place v1.09
maybe if you're playing with a merc using insight... tele'ing into a pack and having your mana drop to 0 sucks cause then you cant tele and just die. some people prefer e shield but overall id say dumping into vita is better
why no 2 nagel and thal rhasa?
Is the lightning nova sorc still a thing. I remember someone going crazy in cows like 20 years ago.
Would you advise farming Meph or Pindle on a starter blizz sorc?
you would do meph because of the ledge trick. Fireball sorc work as well
Will Goldfinder Barb be more worth in D2R with auto-loot on gold? 🤔
Dbrunski did you ever do wrestling/grappling/MMA? I notice you got some cauliflower ear.
Yes he said he wrestles in another video when his ears were brought up in the comment section.
Hi. I am building a fire sorc.
How about deliruim helm for merc for extra crowd control?
I need a weapon with life steal.
I have a spare treachery armor.
Ps. I dropped a Gul today.
congratz, for the Gul rune
Delirium can be okay for merc even tho it's not the best in slot option. If you want crowd control put a lawbringer to your merc act 5. It will give you life steel + crowd control. With delirium and treachery it can be fun. Plus it's cheap to make. It will do the job until you get the rune to make infinity and switch to act 2 merc.
Do fire sorceress with frozen orb, very fun and underrated build. All people do is lighning and blizzard. You can farm many areas (not all at top speed but satisfactory). Areas include Mausoleum (awesome), Mephisto and all the minions there, Andariel, Pits, Drifter Cavern, Ancient Tunnels, WSK level 1 and 2 more often than not do not have fire immunes and Baal. Only the final wave can slow you down because they are always fire immune and you can't break it so you rely mostly on the merc or skip them or lower the players difficulty and you'll have no problems. Worst area is Chaos Sanctuary. Great videos keep them coming
@The Monster Under Your Bed I meant fireball and not meteor so much, although meteor does a lot of damage and can be useful. Actually I've found that blizzard is not so effective againt enemies that are not moving as they can sit on a spot where blizzard does not hit and meteor is bad against moving enemies
@The Monster Under Your Bed You are wrong in your assumption. Skills such as blizzard and fissure actually deal MORE damage if the target is moving trough them than if they stand still. If you want to kill stuff quickly you need to position your blizzard and teleport so that the monsters walk trough it as much as possible.
How would I go around farming the HRs for Infinity on ladder, where the map changes each time? LK chest farming must not be ideal...
Cows on Necro/Amazon or Travincal on Barb/Paladin??
Pit runs and Chaos Sanctuary. It's all really luck of the draw. Only way to increase your odds is to kill more mobs. Magic find has no effect on runes so it's literally luck.
magic find, countess runs, trade the items... save all your runes from countess and cube them up as high as you can and trade them up
i thought there were a lot better options than treachery for merc armor, i always looked at treachery as a cheap option, eth shaftstop with an um rune should be better?
Treachery probably is the best merc armor there is.
Great video hopefully one day I can make this character for myself lol. How are people able to make these kinds of insane characters in a ladder amount of time? That is if they are playing legitimately and not using bots of course. I've been playing with my plugy for a good 7-8 months now and I haven't even got my first enigma yet!
i am always wondering the same. some people have characters better geared in a week than i have in a whole season
Botting. And also they buy items
Where are you playing? on Bnet?
@@lightninger2206 Only single player atm. So I am able to do p8 Lk/trav runs and everything which I do but I just have zero luck apparently lol. Which is why it blows my mind how anyone is able to find any high runes and GG gear in a few weeks time on bnet
Really just comes down to how much you grind and trade. I collected all this over 2 years. On ladder trading helps tho. But yes its a little out of reach for the casual player.
Is this viable for pvp? Or is es fireball sorc the way to go?
This look like a expensive build so is there another option to survive nightmare etc with Lower items with light sorc or is the light sorc completely a high budget build ?
Light sorc is literally first thing I do on a reset. Just pop insight and treachery Merc will kill everything that's immune to light
Db125 - as usual i always enjoy your D2 videos. having said that.. i wanna comment about two different things related to this specific videos.
1. the full inventory ( assuming D2 resurrected won't get a separate charms inventory ). people are basically starting from zero in the upcoming release.. so using a full
inventory with charms means you never pick up like 95% of the drops. that should be years away from the starting point.. so i don't really get the purpose of using a full
inventory if it's for mfing and especially on the first year or so.
2. you posted a great video of a light sorcs, using 4 tal pieces. now back in the day.. i don't know probably years ago i used a similar build. i belive that 4 tal's
is a better option overall from the posted light sorcs build in this video. i would adjust some items ( Merc will be similiar ) to this build:
4 x Tal ( Orb - "isted or 5\5 faceted", Amu, Armor - "'um", Belt ), Spirit, Magefists, Aldurs boots, Soj, Wisp, Griffon -"um".
inventory with Anni,Torch and 2 x 5Fhr\Res sc's, Gheeds, a key, and TP+Identify tomes.
this build in general gives max and a bit stacked Res, Light absorb, very solid Mana Reg + Mana Pool, 86 Fhr, around 230% MF,
60% FREE inventory which i consider to be solid factor, a good amount of -%Light from Griff and 4xTal's bonus, and of course 117 Fcr.
i feel that your 4 Tal's video is a better version than the more familiar light sorcs build with Enigma :)
much respect.
0:10
100% agree
I'm the one playing Meteorb because I love to play Meteorb, even if isn't as strong as Lightning.
crescent moon in polearms can be good option form merc if you dont have infinity
Problem being that for the -35% light res to kick in, the merc needs to hit the mob so it's going to be very slow to apply that to a pack of mobs since it's not an aura.
Not sure if it applied the -35% light res to all when it procs static tho, but that's still only a 7% chance of happening.
If i have to rely on something like that i would rather stay cold until i farmed up what i needed for infinity.
Even if he hits something, it will be effective for the merc only... The minus on the weapon will not transcribe to yours unless it's on your weapon and even tho it will not break immune, but just add to the minus res appliable for the monster. That's why the minus lightning res on infinity doesn't work for you when it is used by the merc. Unless you'r using the infinity yourself it's not appliable... The static will work as a AoE of course but won't make the minus res appliable after hitting something...
I would not build a crescent moon in polearms. While waiting for the infinity, you should build a harmony merc for the fast run walk, an insight or lawbringer for an act5 merc instead. It will do more for you than a crescent moon for the same rune investment or less.
V B you could be right, i will test it little bit more to be 100% positive, tnx
Actually in your example "mana increase" was only by 9, since you have low base mana so 22 energy virtually equals 15% max mana giving HotO only res as a bonus. Not really a dramatic change either way. One is little bit more secure, other is bit more damaging.
So I love the video but I have two questions. 1. Where is your CBF for the build since you’re not using raven?
2. Why ist in the helm instead of a 5/5 facet?
There is no need for CBF on casters, being frozen doesn't affect casting speed in D2lod
You can socket whatever in griffon, RBF, Jewel, Rune, he used ist because it's a "mf" build, 40k damage is more than enough as you can see
and he has enough ist runes, a P Topaz will give 1 less MF and is more of a budget build.
So you cant go pure lightning if you dont have those rarest item?
Will the budget blizz sorc build you released last year still be viable in D2 ressurected? I need a reliable farming character so I can build my two other favorite characters up xD
It should be perfectly viable bc its the same game essentially.
If you're doing chaos runs over capping fcr is a good option.
wdym?
Just wondering…. I haven’t seen ANY Diablo 2 resurrected videos on if you can Castswap?.?and I love your blizzard sorc budget build but maybe make one for Controller use…?? I can see lightning working Great on controller..!! But blizzard… not so much.?? Cause I use to run away and cast In front of them… on controller when you cast it casts Right above them… and sometimes misses because there already out of it by the time the bolts hit the ground….just wondering is there a build that can do Ubers ON Controller..??
do you think d2 rez will still delete characters after a few months?
no the change it
How is your mana so high?
What is moat tricking?
Basically this ruclips.net/video/X-vUUmePWZw/видео.html&ab_channel=SweetPhil
Would you personally use this over a highly geared javazon?
Lightning sorc is best for most except boss killing.
@@golternator333 makes sense thanks!
I had a my sorc last time I played built it up similar to this but hoto and griffin’s are definitely not needed when you are mfing an occu and shako both isted stacks so much more mf but you still have enough damage to farm any where also I only ran with 2 sks rest mf had no issues with kill/clear speed with chaos or Baal minions
How does 20% lightning skill damage only add like 300 damage?
I miss when things made sense like getting the zerk buff in WoW which was 30% damage increase and 1 shotting 5 people at once with whirlwind/cleave macro as a war.
My light sorc used to have 87k lightning on LoD not 100% what gear I used as it was like 15 years ago but he had Ormus and Oculus then I swapped to something else weapon wise for damage instead of MFing.
Heard they nerfed Light sorc damage in 1.13 or something, no point in doing that since it's 1-87k it rarely ever did max damage anyways.
Love your guides man, keep it up!
i actually enjoyed a nova sorc as my starter on the last ladder and got an ist from countess on the first weekend, it was nova and frozen orb. I farmed countess and the summoner with her, then nihlathak once i got really high fcr and defences. Overall it wasnt that bad once i got high fcr, i never got infinity though. It was very rough at the very start before i had good fcr though.
too expensive for a "farmer" build, im ok with one expensive item for a Op build, but this dont make any sense.
and maybe im wrong but crescent moon is better than hoto and eschuta in terms of DPS, and much cheaper.
If you want a cheap farming build, go for cold. Light requires lots of expensive stuff to be better, just how it is.
it makes sense if you play non-ladder for example and are at endgame. its a 20 year old game
@@nimimerkillinen the video its about builds for diablo 2 resurrected, the game its not released yet, nobody its going to have end game items.
@@nitrogenado probably shitload will have smtn like this by the end of first month. Some have d2jsp forum gold, some farm torches, some annis
@@roejogan5212 And I guess once you got your first Infy you wanna use that on a javazon instead of sorc
Eschutas (happy smart ass?)should only be used if it’s perfect and soc with perf 5/5 die light facet but even then hoto has a lot of other benefits hard to pass up
Estutas? Eshutas? Estratutchas? Esthfutaz? No, it's Eschutas!
@@manoqueenz enchalatas
Hello, i play solo online only. is 300 mf enough?
I'm new to D2 and playing Resurrected on my Ps5. Could someone tell me how magic find works in groups? Will players MF be added, does it take the average or just the highest MF of people in the group? Thabk you in advance ^-^.
Check online for more details. In a nutshell however, whoever/whatever gets the killing blow is the MF% number that will be applied to the drop.
you're sure that exp from baal is capped at p3? i thought that only loot table is capped at this p count...
Respectfully disagree about the infinity requirement. Of course it makes things waaaaayyyyy easier, but you can still make it work really well, just need to play smart and avoid lightning immunes. If you like a challenge, lightsorc without infinity is still pretty fun especially since you actually need to pay attention.
Yea everything is possible, but it will be bad. Some people even play with inferno. Everything is possible.
At this point, without infinity, lightning have no advantages compared to other elements. If you like to play it that way you can but alot of build will be better. Anyway we play for fun so if it make you happy i'm good with that. :)
@@vb6427 after 20 years of d2, idk about you, but I'm personally soooooo tired of the meta builds 🤷♂️. Now that you mention it, maybe it's time to try inferno.... 😂😂😂
I def plan on playing some weird builds like armagheddon werebear etc
Tomorrow is 2nd beta right?
how can I always have a full belt of full rejuvs?
Definitely a solid build on I'm trying to do one like it myself the skill points are just fine on my bill but I just need to get more of the gear I'm trying but sometimes it's easier said than done
"Do not use Eschuta's Temper."
me: "Be a lot cooler if i did"
Thanks for the upload just downloaded D2 in the first time in over 10 years lol
Its more like 4,000 dmg difference with that wand as you would use a 5/5 facet in it. -5% res would be like increasing your total damage by 5% no?
The facet does account for even more dmg correct (mostly from the extra minus res). But if you want the minus res use crescent moon it stomps. Or 4 piece tals with griffins.
The only issue I have with crescent moon is that FCR loss, both hoto and eschuta have 40%. This can be a problem if you are just at the 117 break point because that brings it down to 77, 1 point below the 78 break point for lightning.
Eschutas 3/20 with 5/5 facet is best in slot for the L-Sorc. Period. An end game L-Sorc does not need additional Resi / mana. Its capped already, you 1-2 shot almost all random mobs. 1.5k extra damage is always welcome, all tough barely noticeable. It looks allot better also imo then a random flail
Eschutas noobs be like
Will i find more uniques with 200-250 mf or with 500+ mf? I've seen plenty of videos that say the beat mf is under 300 or else more rare and magic items pop up over uniques. I feel like ur going to know the answer to this. Any info will help.
Rule of thumb: use BiS gear. Most BiS gear will land you 200 mf anyway. Specially for sorc.
For advanced builds like pit-berzerker you can use 6-isted crystal sword in off hand.
Clear speed> high mf. For example it would be more efficient to clear cows under 5 mins with 100 mf vs clearing cows in 10mins with high mf. I believe 450 mf is the max amount you should go because anything over little in return.
Absolute bullshit. More MF is always more uniques because the game decides the rarity from unique down. (unique > set > rare > magic > socketed/ethereal > white). The reason why most ppl suggest around 200 MF is because MF has very hard diminishing returns and above 200 the benefit is so small you don't want to sacrifice your kill speed for it.
@@Acaran ah okay, thank you buddy! Very helpful
@@Acaran The faster you kill the higher chance there is for something to drop. The D2 vanilla back in the days your statement would be true but that was patch over before LOD. Its always good to try to stack mf where you could without effecting your kill speed.
We will be seeing lots of necromancers and paladins during the D2R for sure
Either hammerdins , bone nec or summoner nec. They are like the best all rounder and no worries for immunity
The only downside to hammerdins are magic immunes where you need to use holy bolt and that some crammed space like ancient tunnels is a nightmare to farm in. Probably why most people do chaos runs with it.
You said 99% will be blizz sorc and smiter with remaining in light sorc... What about hammerdins?
I said 90 percent of builds will be smiters, hdins, blizzard sorc, and lightning sorc
@@Dbrunski125 thank you! I missed the hdin ;)
why my mana recovers so slow using same gear as you
Charged bolt is more reliable. I hate that lightning can do 1 damage 😭 and charged bolt casts faster as well.
this game should have a "Pergatory" server which would be a server where you can pvp and continue to progress your build with no seasons. the Pergatory server would be where your character can move to after seasons complete and where you can continue to farm for everythings youd find in a seasonal server. it could have its own ladder as well and your character will never be deleted
maybe include some additional fire/lava effects burning in all the areas because after all it is Pergatory!!!
@@naturalhumanhealth1732 so like... nonladder?
there was a jah and 4 bers in that locked chest ;0
Thanks for the build video
What is the end game of d2???
is no end game in Diablo 2. grinding gear is the only end game
By the time I build this character I no longer need to mf and just go for levels. I always use crescent moon. The -light res is too good to pass
What about upped viper for 200 fcr with 20 fcr amu and soj and 10 fcr ring?
Really like the content.
If you want to do more resurrected content you should think about starting way more with the basics
His drops look like mine when I magic find
Play my sorc exactly like you, but dont have tri mf 30/10 boots :D Gz (only wts) Love this build but would be very hard to get 3 Ber and a Jah. Low buged alternative for eni is scullders, more mf, 1sk and free slot (Um or nice Jool) (My last prefer areas is Baal 1-3 to find high items/Runes)
Btw: Are ebug possible? U try it?
used to be part of a diablo ladder community, which produced the first 99 several years in a row. 2 builds are much liked for obvious reasons: javazon for insane dps and CE necro with appropriate cursing.
At top tier baalrunning, a CS zerker to add diablo kill experience for the higher level players is one too that is not uncommon, besides that early battle orders is juicy for speeding through the content.
i therefor wholly disagree with his claim about the amount of sorcs.
also, looks at gameplay: sorc teleports in mid-mob, one hit with mana burn and you're wasting a ton of time...
The "magic finding" label gave me a chuckle.
W/o crescent moon? Pog
I have an ET but no HOTO yet...so you're saying I shouldn't use the ET. What else should I use then?
Don't know why there is this crusade against Eschuta's temper honnestly, but it still a viable option.
Spirit, Oculus are good also and wizard spike can also have its use. All have their own advantages. Oculus if you don't mind the teleport or manage to avoid most hit is a good option and gives good MF source. The thing is that you can make it work with alot of weapon.
Hoto is good for the all res 3 all skill and 40 fcr and mana boost. Same for Eschuta's temper exept you don't get the all res but lightning damage instead plus you can put something in it.
If you'r starting, use a spirit, it will do just fine and the FHR will no be a problem plus it gives a good life boost which all of the others are not.
But if you want you can even make a crescent moon if you can get your FCR and mana boost somewhere else. It's so cheap to make.
He never said don't use ET if you don't have a HOTO. He said the marginal increased damage of ET isn't worth the extra benefits that HOTO brings. Clearly you should use ET in your setup, you don't have HOTO yet.
Is it confirmed, or assumed to be confirmed that there will be unlimited respecs? Like for example, I'll only need to level one paladin for both a hdin and a smiter and I can swap between at any time? Been thinking about what I'm going to make as my first d2r character and that knowledge would def affect my decision.
You can respec unlimited times in D2 now. Would be strange if they change that feature...
@@manoqueenz You can? I thought it was limited to 3 times through Akara, one for each difficulty?
@@EbiLMunkeY You can farm items from hell act bosses that allow you to respec. You still have to farm the items.
@@Acaran Oh I see. I played a looot of D2 back in the 2000s and did a decent amount of farming but never came across those items. I only heard about them recently and just assumed they were a feature added into private servers like PoD
@@EbiLMunkeY It was added with one of the patches 1.10 or 1.11, if memory serves.
