Also, about the charms.. you use the sleep + what trophy? The veiled prophet? Or Yshari? Or even triune or others? And why you choose one against the others?

For the wormhole, you use one full energy? Or for example life/Mana or even others?

I don't see much gear with spell focus bonus, is it possible to cap it at 1000 for this build? Ras algethi feels very good, indigo too is great! and spirit walkers.. I never had a pair, but they can roll even 100 spell focus, so pretty good.. If I play it, should i just go with a eerie craft/bless boots?

I never played fire sorc (I played cold sorc about 1 year ago), but even before this guide I thought about giving it a shot.. seems pretty good on paper.. your guide raised even more my interest, so thank you!

Energy has very hard diminishing returns after 2k-2.5k so it's not really worth it to invest further in it. An energy wormhole is probably a good idea, since that would free up stat points for more vit... But someone would need to test that vs. spending more stats in energy and going full life% on it, although this would probably only make sense if you use only great cycles

Fire sorc is quite nerfed due to the change of familiar and Eydrem in 1.7 patch, but still pretty good.
In 1.7, with no familiars and free Eydrems, fire sorcs have to go ice tree to use ice elementals to survive in tier 11+ labs. So basically, I don't know why they change familiar to be a passive in 1.7, cause thats a huge nerf to sorc.

Wasn't familiar non-targettable anyways? The nerf comes from the lack of +skills.

Ofc sorcs lost some skills, but get spell focus in return. So, not a big problem, I guess.
Familiars are non-targettable, and besides, they can stun mobs. I didnt mean using them as body shields like ice elementals cause they are non-targettable. If u ever did the Uldyssian fight with fire sorc or poison sorc before and in 1.7 patch, u will know what I mean. With 5 familiars which can stun the Eydrems in Uldyssian fight, u can finish the fight in a much shorter time than with no familiars in 1.7.
Their stunning ability also makes sorcs safer farming rifts like Dunc and Fauzt. Thats what I mean by saying familiar becoming a passive was a huge nerf to sorc in 1.7 patch.

Good guide. I’ve seen you doing T13-14 labs with your Fire Sorc on twitch, including those videos in the guide will make it even better (with the gear and umo detail ofc. :-D

).

Actually, I always felt that the best part of familiars were their stun, not the other effects. Which is why I didn't like the change of that skill from the start of 1.7

Yeah, I felt the same.

if you weren't informed, the reason familiar was "nerfed" was because there was a game breaking bug that crashed/exploded the game caused the familiar so it was temporary replaced. i cant say for certain but it will probably come back or devs use it as an opportunity to try other new things who knows

Technically, the nerf was a result of it being made passive, not the other way around. It was intended for the familiar to be passive, since it was already in the patch notes before the patch released. The bug/crashing was what let to +skills being changed to SF.
