Kingslayer sorc
I've heard mentions of it, but nothing more, and I feel a bit interested in making one.
For some reason I feel like leaning more defensively with this one, which I usually don't. It's just that the gear fits so well together.
This is what I was planning:
Weapon: Since vengeance is heavily reliant on weapon damage, I though phase blades wouldn't cut it. So a "kingslayer" cryptic sword would be ok instead. Still only requires 99% ias to reach the 10 frame breakpoint. So basically:
"kingslayer" cryptic sword
Armor: CoH. This is probably the only build that I think does its best in a CoH. The +to all skills boosts vengeance, and the resists puts much less pressure on my charms
Shield: Stormshield. Since string of ears would be good for this build. And generally it's either best to max damage reduction or leave it altogether. So I maxed it with stormshield. Socketed with an ias jewel (preferably scintilating one)
Helm: Andariels visage. +2 to all skills (including vengeance), 20% ias and leech. Socketed with an ias jewel.
Amulet: Maras for +skills and resists
Belt: String of ears. Leech and reduction. Together with SS max reduction
Gloves: Anything with 20% ias. Preferably blood crafts with cb, leech and ias
Boots: Since vengeance wants percentual ed from the weapon and non-percentual damage from other spots, I though war travellers would be great
Ring 1: Raven
Ring 2: SoJ or Bk. A bit hard deciding
Inventory: Torch, anni, and fine charms (because of what vengeance wants)
Now, because vengeance wants non-percentual damage from no-weapon spots, I though bloodfist would be great. However, they only have 10% ias so I'll have to exchange the strings for nos coil, and the loss in reduction would make me take 30% more damage. Is 5 min damage and some fhr worth 10% cb, leech and 15% reduction?
When i put it that way, I guess not
Also, with maxed warmth, will this build have mana problems? Should i get SoJ or BK? I'm leaning toward SoJ since the lightning damage will be boosted by my lightning mastery.
Also, I won't use es. This sorc has max resists, max block and max reduction already.
Questions:
1. Bloodfists worth it?
2. SoJ or BK? This is softcore btw
3. Will I need to focus more on mana or is maxed warmth enough?
Any other opinions?
