I'm running my blizz sorc with pretty much the same setup as last year. Except now that I have all unique jewelry for the grail, I dont really care about mf (facets... who cares
). Still will run with travs because zero mf feels wrong somehow, but otherwise I don't care about it haha. I still am not willing to make a non-eth coh for the sorc, since I think this setup is 99.9% as good. But even if I'm wrong on that, I just don't like trav enough to spend high runes that would only get used once a year here. And ofc, still no fathom unfortunately, so hoto remains.
helm - nightwings (facet)
amulet - maras
weapon - hoto
armor - perfect viper (facet)
shield - spirit
gloves - hellmouth
belt - snowclash
ring1 - soj
ring2 - soj
boots - travs
charms - 4 skillers and some life, res, and/or mana on scs, so 4x4 free space
merc - holy freeze with infinity, kiras, GA
Last year I had nagel rings, a ptopaz in a viper, gheeds, and 7mfscs for more mf for 200ish total, and that worked well too.
@art_vandelay steel shade is only good with infinity merc since his conviction cancels out that of council. With non infinty merc you need kiras and GA, and in my experience it works just as well, so i just use kiras + GA for all characters. Just makes merc not hit quite as hard since he's not wearing fort.
@maxicek @Kartongen I ran 2018 rfl with dual oath no-engima on barb just on p1 and I hated it haha. You 100% need reapers on merc to even consider running it imo (maybe lawbringer would work fine, but then no might aura). I think zealot works better on a budget tbh. Though I'm not sure if thats still true if no cta. But lets say you have cta, or have tested and its comfortable enough with out it... Then you still need kiras+GA and reapers/lawbringer, but then just need any reasonably hard hitting weapon, and he survives much better I think. Though I'm sure is a decent bit less efficient with no hork.
@Pb_pal nice! Looks great. Similar runtimes to what I got on my zealot, definitely fun and a decent runner. If you have kiras and GA (preferably with rals or jewels with fres), thats way better on your merc since you dont have conviction canceling powers as mentioned above. Looking forward to seeing the runs!
