Best GG Sorc Boots You've Seen!

Am thinking about trying to source some insanely GG Sorc

Boots that basically have HIGH Cold, Fire, and Lightning resistances along side another HIGH Magic Find roll. So, it made me think if it were even possible, and if so, who's seen the best!

So please, post all your best finds of

Boots with resistances and MF from previous seasons etc any other bonus stats are totally welcome xD

Different scenario , sorc need different

Boots.
Basically,
Cold is no need,
Poison is for energy sorc,
Energy sorc does not need other resistance.
Regular sorc only need fire/light resistance.

So it will separate into two group
Normal Sorc, Fire/Light resistance ,FHR or poison res, FRW 30,

Caster Boots

Energy Shield Sorc, Poison, FRW , Mana , FHR or other useful STR/DEX,

Caster Boots

Tri - resistance is not best case for sorc.

Am a Blizz Sorc that wears:

Occy, Nightwing Veil, Perf Maras, Spirit Shield,

Ormus Robes, Trang-oul's gloves, 2 SOJ, Arach Mesh, and War Travs..

With a: 20/20 Torch, 20/20 Anni, and 5 small charms with 4 All Res on each of them

In this set up, I am left with only 35% Cold Res, 40% Fire Res, 75% Lightning, and 75% Poison while in Hell difficulty

The reason I made this thread was because I was contemplating swapping my Oculus for a

Death's Fathom to boost my damage output even more, but it would result in me losing the +20 All Res that

The Oculus has. That is the main reason behind the creation of this post and why I would want to use any of these

Boots.

Although, I suppose if I found the absolute perfect

Boots, I would probably just replace the War travs with them and keep my Occy

use

Death's Fathom and it provide more fire/light.

Cold and poison will depends on your running scenario, unless you run into viper both is no need.

Also you may want to check your fcr, cold/blizzard sorc only need 65 or lower, unless you aim for

Teleport speed. Meaning your gloves choice is multiple. And

Caster Amulet....You can use a small fund to adjust those , not necessarily to use this kind of

Boots.

When I play cold/blizzard sorc, I only fear light damage. I usually dont let fire hit me and I dont run into snake area...my blizzard sorc only need light res, but sometimes I will add fire res , in case I dont want

Concentrate play.

Baal thron room's poison , you can totally kill that effect by drink another purple water.

There is delay between you cast blizzard, frost orb. Unless you add

Hydra into it, otherwise, fcr doesnt need that high.

note, in old world, before blizzard become weak, its

Cold Mastery and delay between spell is short. So it will be reasonable to do high fcr in old days. Because it is good.

I don't use Trang-oul for the FCR, I use it for the Cold Res lol. What alternatives are there that are better?

I have been doing full clears of Acts lately to farm Sunder charms, so I run into every type of damage during my runs which means I need to have as much resistance as possible.

While I do agree, Lightning damage is the only damage that I'm truly avoiding at all costs but if I sit in fire or poison for too long, it'll eventually drain my health, so having the resistances is nice. Even though it seems like Lightning resistance doesn't do a damn thing for me with the way these spirits absolutely roast me

if you use gloves for resistance, you totally can use craft,

Safety Gloves with
Fire resistance 30
Light resistance x
Poison resistance 30
MF
DR 4
Mdr 3

or just hell mouth to kill fire need.

I just open my blizzard sorc again, well...only 20 fcr. and I did test find no difference to high fcr because I only use orb and blizzard.

I can see some expert use high fcr to play, they need to cast

Ice Bolt ,

Frost Nova, spike in between by press f5678. I am not that good. Just want relax play. My gloves is chance of guard and my cold res is 30 , poison resistance is 0.

You can use red potion when you get poison, it will keep your regenerate status there. It is good to keep poison status in mid - low level to keep regenerate hp always.
I dont remember any particular cold env that is critical, they are almost all melee style , that I cant remember any stronger cold dealer.


--my setup
Perfect

Death's Fathom, Nightwing Veil,

Safety Amulet , Phoenix Shield/4 facet cold shield, Enigma, Chance of Guard, 2 Light absorb ring, Arach Mesh/Golden

Belt, and War Travs..

How much dmg is your blizzard /

Glacial Spike or

Ice Blast doing in your stat window?

In my current set up, which contain "perfect" versions of:

Occy w/ 5/5 facet
Nightwing w/ 10/10 jewel

Ormus with +3 Blizz and 5/5 Facet
Mara Ammy
Spirit Shield w/ 35fcr
War Travs w/ 50 MF
Trang-Oul gloves
2 SOJs

15% Cold dmg Sunder
3x Cold Skill GC with 40 life each
40% MF Gheeds GC
5x 7% MF, 4 All Res SC

my weapon swap is a 5/5 CTA and Spirit shield

Once buffed by CTA, my life is north of 2200 and mana's 1000 while my Blizzard is doing 13-14k &

Glacial Spike 2600-2700

I've really tried my best to completely maximize this Blizz sorc, it's still my only leveled up character like 2 months in xD

I don't see your problem. Do you even know that

Death's Fathom grants fire and light res? And more so than Oculus. So your fire res will improve, your light res will stay the same and the loss of some cold and poison res will not be a big problem. Stick to Trang's gloves. No tri-res-

Boots needed in this setup.

My setup is optimal mf for

Baal run with best kill speed.
My setup is very similar to yours , except -5 skill blizzard

In my current set up

Death's Fathom w/ 5/5 facet
Nightwing w/ 10/10 jewel <= consider same, I am LoD, 5/5

Ormus with +3 Blizz and 5/5 Facet <= I use Enigma +2 skill and more physical defense
Mara Ammy
Phoenix for lazy play
War Travs w/ 50 MF
Chance guard gloves mf gloves
Light absorb mf ring x2 lazy play.


I only worry about light damage, other case, I

Dodge fire or use purple potion to kill it, this is best mf setup for

Baal run.
I tried with 2 soj and Spirit shield and

Ormus. (4 skill difference - Death fathom's cold skill damage 30%? if you change to

Death's Fathom, it is 4 skill difference)
In my case,

Ormus does not help much due to skill point distribution problem.
Only when I change shield from Phoenix to 4 cold facet that I will feel difference. My first version is like yours . That is focus on damage.
After that I fine tune it to this without lose kill speed , maximum mf ....
After I finally finish fine tune, it is best setup to do

Baal run. Then I lose interest and stop play that for long time until today.

blizzard sorc have something like break point, for example if enemy hp = 10, your hit change from 9 to 6 does not change performance.
I am not sure if you can 1 frost orb kill a5 monsters. But for my build , it take 2 frost orb to kill all monsters. (Infinity havent effect yet for first hit)

That is why I move to play javzon from here....

Fcr BP is 63, not 65.
And you still want 105 for tele and

Glacial Spike.

If you don't need fcr on gloves, Trangs are a waste. You don't need high CR anyways, if you are clearing an area where you'd need it, you can use thawing potions.

You can use gloves with more and other res. And if that is not needed, go for MF.

Chance Guards are the obvious choice but good rares/crafts are better overall packages.

I do not like press

Glacial Spike. so mine is

Hydra and blizzard, frost orb.
Maybe some other area ,

Glacial Spike is more suitable...

yes ,

Teleport is my problem ...

maybe I will need to adjust it for

Teleport...

Current setup is completely immune to wisp , light damage...

I think what you are saying is possible. I use these on my fire socrc, and any other char lacking res.
