Obsession

5 comments 26009 views

Description

One of the new patch 2.4 runewords, Obsession requires a six socket staff to build and provides excellent late-game stats.

Its life, mana, resistances, and additional +stats make it a good gap filler on the defensive side, plus it has an MF modifier and whopping +4 to all skills (which can be further increased to +7 on up to three Sorceress skills by the base staff's staffmods).

These modifiers may make Obsession a popular alternative to using a Spirit

Monarch +

Death's Fathom/

The Oculus for Sorceresses.

Analysis by MessageBoard

Over Heart of the Oak/Spirit. You gain fire resistance, the most important resistance, in exchange for losing 5 cold/light resistance.

Faster Cast Rate/Faster Hit Recovery: You hit both of the most desirable Sorceress breakpoints with 65 Faster Cast Rate and 60 Faster Hit Recovery.

Spirit and Heart of the Oak don't hit the Faster Hit Recovery breakpoint, so you need one additional piece of Faster Hit Recovery gear. Heart of the Oak/Spirit don't hit the next Faster Cast Rate breakpoint, so you still require additional Faster Cast Rate gear.

Skills: +7 to your main skill/s. Heart of the Oak/Spirit only give 5.

Max life: Speaks for itself, especially on hardcore.

No shield: No

Monarch means no strength needed for gear. More into Vitality, thus gaining even more from the life boost.

Weaken: Though when struck sucks, it's still going to be good when it does proc.

What do you lose? Mana. That's basically the main thing. Faster Cast Rate that doesn't even do anything because of breakpoints.

it's actually better than i thought it would be. recovering the str needed to equip the Spirit

Monarch and putting those points into vit was an extra few hundred base life. i'm still well over 105% fcr breakpoint and enjoying the extra damage since i put it in a staff with +3 to

Frozen Orb.

All it actually takes is to obtain a proper weapon base +3 to your build skills. That's the hardest part. But after it's covered - you can even reroll a bad dice.
This weapon is designed for light-geared sorceress, wearin viper or proper

Ormus, so swap shield here (for cta buff) is either

Lidless Wall, or just some Splendor

Kite Shield.

Obsession was ladder only during Patch 2.4 and Patch 2.5 (Ladder Season 1 & 2). Since Patch 2.6 (Ladder Season 3) it is possible to create Obsession in non-ladder.
