Stormshield? Yay nay??
Can be used to make Runewords:
Stormshield? Yay nay??
cheap version is cersen moon + 4 os l facet, but early part of game , Stormshield is useable.
Favor Perfect Amethyst over Perfect Skull...
These days, I don't need that much Perfect Skull, it is less encourage to pay in Perfect Skull but it will treat slightly better than Perfect Gems.

It works. I use it. It is just a trade-off: damage vs safety. If you want to do max damage do not use it. If you want to Teleport blindly through anything use it. Nova has the problem, that you have to be near to the enemy. And I prefer the safety. I do not care about the damage, because I play almost always P1. The only down side: if you want max res it is difficult to get a reasonable amount of magic find. My build Hoto, Griffons, Storm, Viper, Thunderstorm, Magefist, Sandstorm, Sojs and Mara gives zero MF. My primary use case is Key farming in act 2 and Baal Teleport.
Nope. Go for max Energy Shield + Telekinesis, aim for around 50% all resistances in Hell, dump all remaining stats into Energy, and use Frostburn gloves. The survivability is incredible.
Best shield is Spirit runeword. The extra ~100 mana, fcr, fhr, +2 all, 35% to 3 res... in combination with the skills mentioned make a huge difference.

Stormshield is probably best shield in game for slow casual players who care about surviving, such as i am. soso use... probably only with cold build, especialy in Tal's. Nova soso is, just my opinion, for fast players with good reflexes and will have better use of something with sockets. fire one should go for Phoenix.

Unless PvP or HC, nay.
Full ES and ideally self wield Infinity, then you don't have to put any stats in str.
Boost vita and Energy instead. Focus on poison res. Get Light res to at least 0, cold can be -100 and even fire can be negative as long as you have a strong enough Energy Shield. Only poison res needs to be maxed.
Your best defense is offense. Nova should do enough damage to at least send standard monsters into recovery while you don't have block or hit recovery animations. This allows you to either kill or tele out.

can Infinity pair w/ SS and then 1 point Energy Shield?
maybe only for hc?kastle wrote: 2 months agoNope. Go for max Energy Shield + Telekinesis, aim for around 50% all resistances in Hell, dump all remaining stats into Energy, and use Frostburn gloves. The survivability is incredible.

Right, when u priorize mitigation over raw dmg. In sc you priorize raw dmg then go for self wielding Infinity. Anyway sormshield is a subotimal option: less mitigation and less dmg.Whero wrote: 2 months agomaybe only for hc?kastle wrote: 2 months agoNope.

Infinity can only be made in polarms and spears which are 2-handed weapons, ergo you cannot pair Infinity with Stormshield.
I'm willing to accept other forms of currency. Like Tokens, Keys, Perfect Gems, and certain minor runes in lieu of my asking price. I'm also willing to accept rune combinations that add up to my asking price.

either/or
though how does Conviction work w/novasorc? good?
is hoto necessary for Infinity on a merc?
If you are part of the crazy cult that always uses ES then nay... Otherwise yey! xd
It's useful, as people said for safety and if you are usually playing on lower players count. It's also useful if you are maniacally TPing everywhere without any proper worry or if you like doing Sanctuary runs and you get extremely unlucky with the RNG. If you are playing on SP p8 or in big party then you want to max your dmg output which usually means you'll self wield Infinity anyways so no shield...
Conviction with Light Sorc in general ( Nova included) is the most impactful because you will be able to break most of the immunities even without Sunder (and with Sunder that sweet -17% Lres means a lot). However, I never played self-wielding Nova Sorc myself so I don't know what ppl go for with Merc in that case.

Someone much smarter than me already said once: "The real value of something doesn't reflect in a number of how much a seller can ask for it, but on how much a buyer is willing to pay."
In Nova sorc with self wielf Infinity merc holds Insight with Cure Helm ideally and Prayer Aura, allowing a super fast life and mana recovery and Poison Cleansing, making the sorc surprisingly solid... in 1p, only soûls can be tricks due to high damage AND mana burn. I just put my sunder in cube in a level with them.
