The possible staff mods are the same for iLvl 25 and iLvl 30, so you can use Chipped Gems instead of flawless gems as well.
https://maxroll.gg/d2/resources/staff-mods
That's true, but in this ilvl range staffmods are limited to tier 5 skills (i.e. level 24). It won't roll the elemental masteries (or Frozen Orb or Hydra).
Correct. My point is that this is the case for all 3 recipes with chipped, normal, and flawless gems.

Only rerolling with Perfect Gems gives you the chance of tier 6 staff mods (if your character and base items have high enough levels).

did a lengthy Herald session today, went well from 98.76 to 98.8.. until the very last t5 Skeleton Herald one shot me before collapsing himself to the final Fireball :(( cta had worn off, Energy Shield was on.. i think
corpse recovered, back to 98.76. pretty demotivating. i really shall get to cherry picking act bosses till i get to 99

OP
98.8 reached again..

and the consequence from yesterday: finally replaced the mediocre -5/+8 Stone with this beauty. no point hoarding it for the perfect orb that might never come. if only I had made it sooner, circe might have survived yesterday :(

..and 98.9
they grow up so fast :(

OP
Some 25 years ago I left D2 behind with a lvl 82 Frozen Orb sorc, a lvl 80 Frenzy barb, vaguely hearing from classmates about the new cool feature called crafting

Some 7 months ago I came back and started asking this very helpful and patient community lots of amateur questions

One of the questions was, Hydra or Fireball?

The answer was, of course, Hydra + Fireball = 150k dps

And today, thanks to all the help, trading, Terror zones, and abundant shards, Circe the fire sorc hit 99!

I know some of you use lvl 99 sorcs as mules, but for me the moment is pretty special :)

OP
guys I'm theorycrafting the Fireball / Hydra uber killer. what would you go for?

1) Chains of Honor, Spirit, The Oculus.
highest res, highest life, highest nominal dmg, but -res limited to -35
2) Skin of the Vipermagi, Phoenix, Eschuta's Temper. skills, life & res lower (almost impossible to max vs meph and uber ancients), but -res can reach -68
3) same as 2) but jmod with four facets instead of Phoenix.. even less def, -res -65, slightly higher nominal dmg than 2)
4) something else??

rest of the gear identical, Flickering Flame, 2x The Stone of Jordan *, Magefist, Arachnid Mesh, volcanic amulet of the whale (or Mara's Kaleidoscope)

* one Opalvein possible to boost res and keep The Oculus in setup 2) and 3)

With rising sun you can make your sorc heal when hit by fire.

But if you want to go for max speed, here is a fire sorc build that can do Ubers in under a minute:

that's a bit extreme.. but i think a socketed Skin of the Vipermagi + 1 Opalvein + Phoenix + socketed The Oculus should be fine. 90% fire res + some fire absorb vs Talic should be achievable, as well as 80 lite res and 75 cold res. -68 fire res should be enough even without Infinity. against meph impossible * to max out res without Chains of Honor, but he should be doable as long as you can separate him.. worst case use a socketed Kira's Guardian vs him

*unless you Sacrifice skillers for res charms

OP
btw has anybody killed / seen uber ancients being killed by bear sorc? haven't found a showcase on youtube yet

OP
respecced the lvl 99 sorc back to Fireball/ Hydra with Phoenix. first max life, just over 2k life/ 800 mana. very squishy, Energy Shield nearly useless. then put some 100 points into energy, much better, roughly 1.6k life/1.4k mana. Energy Shield really helps at this point, feels relatively safe. dps-wise not much difference felt to the Spirit setup, everything melts instantly. still doubt it will be an easy run vs ubers

anybody gets how this guy reached 4k life??

OP
also wonder how long an ethereal Phoenix from the previous video will last.. probably a neglectable piece of gear if the stash is full of 45 life skillers
