Dual Dream Enchantress Weapon Choice

ok ive been playing around and ive build up my dual dream sorc, ive been playin with a passion sword(zeal), and recently a frostwind just for fun, but ive been wondering about 2 other weapons and which would be the best choice

atm my sorc does 5300-40K damage


so...
Hand of Justice
or
Pheonix

HoJ for the holy fire aura but...
does fire mastery add to the auras damage?
does the additional -20 to fire res help enough, (also using infinity on merc)
does -fire res even help w enchant damage?

Pheonix
has redmeption aura
-28 fire res
15-21 fire absorb

with pheonix and a torch then il have a 40%for a lvl 22 and 25% for a 25 firestorm to cast? no stacking correct?

both have a nice ED so damage isnt a problem with em

i unno, 2 elemental auras or a life regen aura and fire absorb

wadya think :thumbsup:

thanks for your help
 
Re: Dual Dream Enchantress Weapon Choice

since the vast majority of your damage is from your skills and it's independent of your weapon, I thought the best weapon was a 6xShaeled Phase Blade (for super-speedy attacks).

However, to (try to) answer your questions, I'm pretty sure that the mastery boost the aura damage, and I am certain that -fire resists (on HoJ, Phoenix, facets, or whatever) will provide more damage.

Of the two, I'd possibly prefer the Phoenix simply for the Redemption aura (since your leech is going to be horrid/non-existant, and you are melee). Another option here is an Act2 Prayer mercenary with Insight (~60 hitpoints returned per second); but he's not much use for anything else and an Infinity merc seems like it would be much more appealing for this build.


... not that I know what I'm talking about - this build is too rich for me to ever build. :grin:
 
Re: Dual Dream Enchantress Weapon Choice

Passion in a phase blade should be your weapon of choice. And Mooranie is right, it's for the zeal :).
 
Re: Dual Dream Enchantress Weapon Choice

pb's (crystal's) are ugly to me, and i already have the passion sword but zeal is always gettin me into trouble, i got a 4soc cryptic sword ready for either of these weps

i got dracs for an occasional life tap but i got full juvies when worst come to worst, so redemtion isnt my goal plus if im gettin hit so much and cant kill anything then what good is a dead body converting to life aura if i can make any dead bodies...

i think ima go w HoJ atm and play around with it, the extra aura +fire mastery and -fire res should pair nicely with the dream aura and if theres any fi/li immunes il just smack em with my sword (pyhsical)

so now all i need is the armor
CoH - res...
Nig - mf/str...
Guardian Angel/Um'd - +15 all res, 15max all res (95 all res)
or wat else?

also, should i go 8 light gc's for holy shock aura and added damage
8 fire gc's for holy fire aura damage and enchant's damage
4f/4l gc's for a nice balance between both


im rich so expesive items are no obstacle im just playin around lookin for a chaotic build that can pretty much sweep through anythin... gimme some ideas if ya got any

lvl 87
SKILLS
20 enchant
20 fire mastery
20 warmth
20 light mastery
12 unused skill points atm

STATS
STR - 160 w/o items 203 w items
DEX - 140 w/o items 152 w items
VIT - 237 w items rest is going here
NrG - base 57 w items

5300-42K damage atm
 
Re: Dual Dream Enchantress Weapon Choice

Passion misses too often so you end up hitting air. I rather use a weapon with ignore target defense.

I think the only reason to consider guardian angel as an option is for the 20% higher chance to block and 30% faster block rate.
 
Re: Dual Dream Enchantress Weapon Choice

EDIT: wow didnot notice the thread was 3 years old:D

she is an enchantress so she should have a lot AR after enchant, right? sorry never tested this but with ravenfrost + passion's ar + max'd enchant should give a good ar i guess:scratchchin:

i think lite gc's do not increase dream's damage directly. they only affects lite mastery and each lite mastery increase lite dmg %12. fire mastery might be a better idea for enchant's bonus (both enchant and firemastery will be upped).

dual dreams (lvl30 HS):
Lightning damage: 1 - 278 (ø139.5)
Lightning damage to attack: 1 - 1668 (ø834.5)

so apply your lite mastery above.
 
Re: Dual Dream Enchantress Weapon Choice

Yes, this is a really old thread....but anyway if we are going on the concept of max damage technically an inventory of light charms would be the most effective as that is where the majority of your damage is coming from. The fire damage is more of a side note that provides an AR bonus in comparison to the huge light damage. Although if you really wanted to max it out you could have 2 sets and switch them out as a prebuff. Fill inventory with fire gcs, cast enchant, switch to light gc, run your targets. Thats too much work for me though :).

Also, a passion phase blade is usually effective enough to work efficiently for hitting targets. Theres pretty much two or three different ways to make a melee sorc, either a pb full of shaels, a passion pb (zeal), or a beast (bear) sorc using a pb full of shaels. Also if we are really maximizing this build anyway your merc should have an infinity polearm, so monster defense should really not be an issue.
 
Re: Dual Dream Enchantress Weapon Choice

PB full of shael is useless unless you switch to bear form. In sorc form, you only hit 10fpa max with any weapon. If you stick with sorc form, accepting 11fpa will open up a lot more weapon choices.

Enchant gives u way less AR that you would expect to be honest; or at least I was disappointed with it.
 
Re: Dual Dream Enchantress Weapon Choice

If you want to have zeal then I'd go with:

Passion Pb
Dual Dream
Treachery
Arach
Raven
Random Ring/Amu (Your choice)
Magefist
Whatever boots (trires/ww)
9x Light Life Gc's
Torch/Anni
Random res/mana/life sc's

However zeal is not necessary imo
 
Re: Dual Dream Enchantress Weapon Choice

I been playing with a warshrike on my sorc. 75% pierce from knife + razortail:P

Needs more speed though.
