But in my case only the Erynies's (not sure that i wrote harpie monster's name correctly) fire spells causes fatal damage, not melee hits. As well as assassins heroes's spells (nevermind, i can handle assassins, just slower, than necromancers or barbarians heroes, it's OK) - theyre tough too, but not so tough, as fire missiles of regular monsters.

At floor 11 there's an affix, that says something like "skills empowered" (enemies skills, of course). So these fire missiles became unbearable.

If someone has any succesful experience on how to counteract them with defence or how to overdamage them - i'd like to read such things.

Thanks.

Hi guys

Can you please advice me: Im on Mid game now with all gear in this guide without crafted jewels so my BRs aren’t max( I mean IAS and HR. Do I need to change weapon damage orb in honorific gear to max my limits until I get jewels?

Melee sorc's tend to struggle mid/late game until they have high block %, if you're below 50% block it's going to be rough. Try getting the melee sorc set if you don't already have..it should be pretty affordable by now. I generally can do Dunc/Fauzt/Bremm just fine with the melee sorc set so itll last you well into late game. Start to UMO Dex, FHR

Just wondering, but what is used in place of the set boots now for midgame? Im going to try sacred honorific boots and see how that works. Am I missing another possible option? Thanks in advance.

Yeah it's a pretty... 'balanced' build. You won't be blazing through anything, but you won't be hitting brick walls either.

Make sure all your TU gear is at T4 and your armor pieces are socketed with enough perfect res gems to hit at least 65% Elemental res when starting Hell.

It's natural for Uber areas to be a little tough, but main storyline areas shouldn't be giving you any trouble.

And on top of this, you might find it worth retrying once you get to nihlathak and farm some signets if that fails. Helps your stats and you might even pick up a few SUs to trade/signet/use.

An extra 300-400 stat points and some levels can trivialize the early ubers and get you to the midgame.
