How well will this work?

I am currently making an enchantress who use the element of lightning instead of cold as her 2nd element.

My equipment will be as follows at clvl 63
Delirium Tiara (lvl 51 req)
Cranebeak (lvl 63 req, high lightning dmg)
probably 160ED/60IAS armor (lvl 63 req)
Sanctuary (lvl 49 req, extermely high resist all, good block)
Cats Eye or Cresent Moon (both lvl 50 reqs)
Rare Gloves with 20% IAS, leech all +resists
Rare Rings with +life and mana, high dual leech and +resists and +stats
Verdungo's Belt (lvl 63 req, insane vitality, good dr)
War Traveler (lvl 42 req, high mf, +str and vit, +15-25 damage)
1 Gheed's Fortune (lvl 62 req, good mf, helps with shopping as well)
4 Lightning Skill Charms
5 Fire Skill Charms
Small Charms with resist all/+life or lightning damage

Her skills will be as follows at lvl 63 with normal and nightmare skills quests done:

20 Enchant
20 Fire Mastery
20 Warmth
9 Lightning Mastery to boost lightning damage
2 into prereq.

Will MF enchantress be viable?
Delirium will be nice.
I'm thinking that 160/60 will be highly uneffective since it only effects your base dam and you will do C_R_A_P base dam unless you find a godly ed Crecsent Moon to go along w/.

I don't get it your base lightning dam will be crappy, even w/ the help of -35% from CM and +146% from LM I'm thinking it will still be crappy.

Why do you not go 20 Enchant / 20 FM / 20 TK / 20 ES / 11 prereq including tele warmth shiverarmor etc / and then start maxing warmth.

Yeah, I see what you mean. I am trying to find which enchant build is best.
I keep hearing good things about passion, beast,kingslayer and azurewrath I want to be able to magic find in certain areas and have lots of fun in doing so. No, I don't mean mfing at mephisto or some act boss, I mean areas like the pits, the chaos sanctuary(maybe diablo) and the worldstone keep(maybe baal) and the cow level if I can in that order so I can have a lot of fun while collecting various powerful items.

Dennis, Crescent Moon in this context would be the unique amulet (dual leech and damage to mana) not the Runeword.

Cranebeak IAS: 12 Frames-0 IAS added, 11 Frames-20 IAS added, 10 Frames-59 IAS added. You are listing more IAS gear than is necessary. IMO either Shael the weapon for 11 frames or keep the 160/60 and find something interesting to put in the weapon for 10 frames or Shael the weapon and get 39% without the armor for 10 frames.

I count 10 GCs, how are you going to pick up any of the cool stuff you find??

You will be in melee range, so try to get more PDR. More FHR and FCR would also be nice.

My Werebear Sorc + Might Merc does OK with 8% life leech, but she attacks twice as fast and likely harder than your Sorc will. I don't know how to calculate what a 160/60 will do, but I always make leech a low priority for enchantresses. BTW, even in Sorc form with a Phase Blade and no Might Merc, IM hurts.

I don't have those items yet, but I just wanted to see how well a enchantress with lightning as her 2nd element would work out.
Oh yeah, just how much dmg does she do and what frame breakpoint can you hit?

With Might active she does 720-840 physical damage at 5 frames per attack, +200% vs Demons and +100% vs Undead, no Deadly Strike or Crushing Blow, Merc has a Reaper's Toll for the Decrepify (-50% physical resistance.)
