Universal Law

too!

Ofc every sorc have around 500 spare points to put in str.. esp in early/mid.. esp sorc that purely based on mana and NRG
Now for real... even blessed honorific (with -req) will easily beat these i guess.

Updated guide for 1.5, please let me know if you find any errors and I'll try to correct them asap. I have now also added a patch history section in order to list the changes this build has had since it's release in sigma.

I still plan to rework the uber section one day, but I keep putting it off. Maybe during the pandemic is as good a time as any...

Have you tested a max vit mana sorc using the

Vizjerei Dominion

Vizjerei Dominion
(Sorceress Arcane Set)

Vizjerei Judgment
Vizjerei Brilliance
Vizjerei Grip
Vizjerei Cloak

Set Bonus with 2 or more set items:
15% to Energy
Maximum Mana +15%

Set Bonus with 3 or more set items:
+4 to Sorceress Skill Levels

Set Bonus with complete set:
Arcane Fury: 5% Additional Mana and Energy During Buff Effect
25% Movement Speed
+100 Life Regenerated per Second
Physical Resist 10%
10% Chance to Avoid Damage
100% Bonus to Defense

set (specifically the

The Presence

)? You'll lose out on about 300 points in energy, but gains a few thousands more life. Recasting Hive every 30s on top of the normal skill switching will really suck but I'm still curious if that could work.

That set works off of total vitality, not base (same as any other item that doesn't explicitly reference "base atribute").

Nice guide by the way

Really enjoying this build, seems like it has a lot of end game potential.

This was actually my plan starting out this season but I.. diverged due to the o-skill madness we got. When mathing it out, it seemed really powerful, especially for a heavy bossing/lab setup because I thought it worked off total Vitality (which SB confirmed above!). As you say, the micro-management does go up a fair bit but I'd really like to add an additional section to explore this alternate spec when I get to try it out in practice.

Thanks, that means a lot! This ring set actually adds a very interesting twist to the possibilities of building a mana sorc as the stat build has always been a very "solved" path, which makes me really happy.

anyone tried samael on a mana sorc?
All ubers are easy for me and right now in labs t12. (Also not tried to push further)

He's the only one i'm missing and never tried before

The farthest I've been able to push this build was Lab13.

Sam is probably doable with the right gear and maximized immersion damage. Only one way to find out.

Im new to median and so far ive managed to do almost all ubers till 120 with this build. Some took like 30 tries like banisher of light and legacy of blood (probably a player skill issue) but shes such a good farmer. Straightforward to gear too. Thanks for the nice guide!

Just some 1.6 info for people:

I think knave is a bait, the 25% sweep damage reduction is just too much. You are most likely better off sticking with Torrent until you get Valthek. I have 44k mana, +31 skills and damage is not that good for Faust+ level zones. Much better as fire with similar gear level.
