Description

Someone on Reddit claimed
Ormus
with 15% lightning damage and +3 to
Nova
is BIS for the
Nova
sorc. Needless to say, there has been vehement opposition.

What do the experts think of this expression, and why would anyone in their right mind say this?

Just like everything else with D2, "best" and "BiS" qualifiers depend on what your individual definition of those terms are. Speed? Survivability? Raw damage?

+3
Nova
Ormus
is BiS for raw damage.
But to make up for that loss of FCR you need to either give up an SoJ for a gg 10FCR ring or splurge for a 2/20 amulet. Both of which can be very expensive.

Will buy any 3 minor keys for an
Ist
- message me.
Will accept keys instead of rune payments for my trades.
My free items are for players who play on xbox only

My
Nova
Sorc has a Vipermagi, but if you can do with less FCR and no magic smage reduction, which is suoer helpful, and no all res and you want to go all damage, then a +3
Ormus
with a good light damage row and a facet or a
Guardian's Thunder
is best, yes.

I’m currently running an
Ormus
with +15% lightning damage and +3 to
Nova
. You can really notice the damage increase compared to a Vipermagi, but you also feel a bit more fragile. To keep both SoJs, a 2/20 amulet is a must if Infinity is used, which also increases the cost.

Have a look at this: https://www.reddit.com/r/diablo2/commen ... from_2184/
In the excel table you can see the main builds ordered by overall damage to immunes from left to right. This tells you about damage, not about survivability or quality of life. You can asses these by considering the author used BiS items to keep the 105 FCR though.

Ist
= 1 =
Token of Absolution
= 7
Hel

Pul
= 0.25 |
Um
= 0.5|
Mal
= 0.75
Gul
= 1.5|
Vex
= 3 |
Ohm
= 4 |
Lo
= 5 |
Sur
= 5 |
Ber
= 9 |
Jah
= 12 |
Cham

A perfect faceted
Ormus
Robes is about 10% more damage compared to a faceted Vipermagi, so it wins if you're after only damage.

That said, Vipermagi's MDR is very helpful for your
Energy Shield
, as well as the FCR and Resistances. For me? It's the best all rounder, and significantly cheaper too.

Please wait until your offer is accepted before adding me on Battle.net

It was mentioned several times already but it's quite simple really.

Go with vipermagi, max resists, easy fcr, mdr.

When you have a 2/20 amulet and some allres small charms, feel free to do +3
Nova
, 15%
Ormus
with +5/-5 jewel inside. Resists don't matter for
Energy Shield
purposes, only for the 5% of damage that goes through. Just max Lightning for soul packs and Poison (
Sandstorm Trek
).

If you are running WSK, keep max health above max mana, so you don't get hit by blood magic curse.

I dont understand logic here.
