Like in every other

Nova Sorc thread that we have here and in all there are to come:

Just use a self-wield Infinity because nothing beats the minus enemy light res. A cold Sorc has minus enemy cold res as a Mastery (so Doom is not mandatory and DF is a strong choice, too), but a

Nova Sorc really needs every point it can get and Infinity can grant up to -55% to enemy light res. This can easily triple your damage for sundered monsters. No other weapon even comes close.

Hi, the point was if I can make some value with it, not to use it.

Concerning self-wield, yes it's the cheapest way to have an effective endgame

Nova Sorc build. But I think, experimenting with other builds is one of the beauties of the game.

In Rotw you now have

Guardian's Thunder and new Renewed sunder charms, so for example, self-wield is not BIS for DPS or MF or tankiness. [Faceted Mangs' + Jewelers' plate w/4 facets] does more DPS to sundered AND non sundered, same does [2os faceted +3nova/+3 light skills blue orb + 4 facet JMOC/JMOD + Ormus]... With [+3Nova Obsession, Enigma, +3 Light amulet of Luck] you can rival self-wield damage to sundered while getting close to 400MF...

The real added value of self-wield (which I'm now experimenting with) is the flexibility with your merc to optimize for heralds hunting (you are not forced to have him wield Infinity and can go with act5 merc for example).

3x regular gems + magic weapon in cube?

Doesn't it reroll the item?

I see no way how a faceted or even Ancient Jewel Mang's (an awful weapon in my experience for a sorc) with only +skills and +damage but no minus enemy res plus shield should ever be better than a -55 enemy light res Infinity.

But I recently had an argument with someone else about damage numbers and it's no good arguing about it, even if you show the math. Few people can be convinced, most stick to their opinion. That's just the zeitgeist, the little Trump inside most of us. (No offense! I wouldn't always except myself from it, either.)

So, I won't try to convince you.
