Probably still shapeshifter imo. Having a necrolyte is kinda pointless if you already have forceblast from either attanna key or you casting it yourself. You get better use using something else. Could be totally wrong maybe the Bloodmage just completely outshines the rest lol.

* investing into a blood mage mercenary more. testing it out. i think it might be BIS Mercenary.

What are you guys doing with the wormhole? Energy untill you're at 2k or if you have enough energy life/mana?

I went energy wormhole so i can use ice runes and craft jewels whilst still getting to 2k energy with plenty left over for vit dump. I swap out my dementia and black dwarf for Liliths and in for the kill when im farming. I hardly lose any effectives. Essentially swapping pierce for mf. I'm at -135 in farm gear and -170 in full endgame. 249%mf and 69%mf respectively. Mf wormhole not worth it in my opinion. Either energy or life/mana

Yo nice mf. :) try not to exceed 250% theres dimminishing returns . you start seeing repetitive items i think at 350%.

More is usually better, if it's still the same curve as vanilla diablo that is.
From 100 to 200 mf you gain 40 unique mf and from 200 to 300 you still gain 25.
After 300 it ges a bit less interesting, but up to around 300 it's a nice increase.
Although median has a lot more non unique items that are worth farming for, so I'm sure theres a sweet spot somewhere :P.

A quick question, my sor is already 1000/1000 in spell focus, then which trophy should I use for the sleep? I'm considering the kaba trophy with -10% resist
