Lightning Sorc Question...

Hey All,

New to the forums but a long time Diablo player.

I had a lightning / orb sorc in 1.09 (as most people did) and i am now trying out a pure lightning sorc for PvM to run with my friends.

I have a quick question about facets and lightning skill damage vs. -% lower resists.

Here is my following set up as of lvl 81

P Griffons (with P light facet) %25 / %20
COH
Hoto
Lidless
Arach
2x SOJs
+2 crafted ammy with fcr
silkweaves
frostburns
8x lightning GCs

My Question is what would serve me better for overall lightning damage.

Lidless (socket it with a 5/5 lightning facet)

OR

4 socket monarch with 4x 5/5 lightning facets

I know my damage would "show" as being higher with the lidless on, as well as the added fcr.

Basically, either go with
lidless = +1 skills, +5% dam, -5% lower resist
OR
monarch = +20% damage, -20% lower resist

Any help with this or other gear upgrade idea's would be great!!

Thanks all
Sparkxxx
