Nice kill, Ben and Mortimer also killed this guy without relics before, so huge respect already.

I have two questions, would appreciate any input:

- Is Samael/Deimoss possible with Fire Druid, same gear minus relics? I guess Rain of Fire is not that OP without relic investment.
- And what does Shadow Avatar do?

Thanks!

.
The 180%sd from inventory (perfect exp charms without Sam charm) is really big and the innate SD + sd gear from Druid is simply big (Druid Helms and Sorc Bodies are comparable, though)
So on Druid you will end up with 80ish slvl but much higher sd and easier mana sustain. You need like 150 -200% regen nonetheless to feel comfortable.

for 100% Deimoss on Fire Druid you either need good rng or a godlike player. While optimized RoF Cain setup and optimized Ember setup with

are comparable in damaging Deimoss - they both have there strengths and weaknesses when dealing with adds.

[edit]I know it is a relic build but almost only for the oskill. You requested a fire Sorc kill in the light Sorc thread and here it is - although it is a fake fire Sorc :)[/edit]

Thanks for the detailed post as well as fulfilling my “Fire Sorc Kill” request. :)

So far I have cleared T15 comfortably with Fire Sorc and Holy Caster, was planning to respec my Werewolf to Fire Caster, that’s why I asked if it’s doable without relics.

Having collected gear since 1.5 on SP, I have all the gear you mentioned on my chars (minus lotteried Tesseract, I have +2 max res Quov Tsin’s instead). Will definitely go for the challenge.

Thanks again, looking forward to your next collaboration with Ben!
