Attempting to brainstorm a fire boulder/flamefront energy & dex sorceress hybrid build. (My character is currently in HC

Yeah probably not the smartest idea to experiment with my HC character, but anyhow…

Game plan:
1.Try to get ~2k energy mark for dmg.
2.Ideally trying to max or high amount of block% with the dex as possible.
3.Warp armor for avoid + nova charge (will add 25% or higher dex to boost energy)
4.Vengeful power + boulder upgrade (1% phys resist per 200 energy*) will provide phy% resist
5. So to recap try to get 2k energy, high block/avoid/physical & also defense if I can fit it in. If somehow I get ~ 2k energy & max block put rest of stat pts into endurance. Also give I believe also scales off of dex& energy.
*is this base energy amount or any energy amount for 1% per 200 energy?

Gear wise: Probably crafting most of it or TU’s until sacred or runeword material drops.

wpns: TU>probably habaclava or crafted Jared’s stone & I’m also curious how a dawn Jared’s stone (since it boosts energy/dex/endurance by a lot ) would fair here.

Off-hand: TU > crafted or avatar> celestial barrier

Helm: TU/“RA” > Indigo/Lacuna/ Royal Circlet / Radiance?
I think vaetia’s wall is probably out if we want block or maybe it would still work a bit. I’m not sure if the -1% block per base is a guaranteed no block or not.

Armor: TU (I like wisdom wrap for summon fodder)> crafted > Curandera/ Ritualist /armor of old religions.

Belt: TU > crafted > dementia

Gloves : TU > crafted > lorekeeper ( +skills & firedance)

Boots: wake of destruction/ spirit walker

Amulet : rare +skills/fire & pierce> tesseract

Skill wise : probably will max out boulder/warp armor/witch blood. Maybe spare pts in flamefront.
Vengeful power gets 10 pts.
1 pt in hive/boulder upgrade/requirement to unlock Raven
1pt or more in nova charge (which boost dex to energy by 5% per skill pt.
Spell focus skill that unlocks at 90.
As many pts in Raven as can be afforded.

Reward pts:
1. have purity for now (don’t wanna die b/c of poison/curse.)
2. Mana regen for now (probably be endurance later on).
3. Is open for suggestions as I don’t think tenacity is needed since getting it via skills&gear. Maybe boosted potions?

P.S: I meant pyroblast skill not “boulder”.

Vengeful power + boulder upgrade (1% phys resist per 200 energy*) will provide phy% resist

Isn't VP capped at 20% PR?

I am pretty sure this wont work. You have to give something up if you want to make this work, like, using amethysts or something instead of big sf and sd jewels, and its not gonna be worth it.

That’s one reason I was considering trying a dawn wpn on it. Afaik I can make a war scepter dawn wpn which has 6 socket space & still one-handed plus 75% boost to both energy & dex. I could then I could try to roll as much sf/fire/dex/energy/block as I can get on the extra jewel space. I don’t know if that’s worth losing out on +skills that you can craft though.

I’ll probably have to lean on crafted wpn first anyhow RNG would have to spit out the dawn rune first.

VP does cap at 20% but pyroblast upgrade gives 1% per 200 energy while using pyroblast. Also some of the gear will likely give phys resist as well.
