so crazy how a game that came out over 20 years ago is still JUST flat out better then the complete waste of money 80$ beta ass version of D4 we got
I got a refund from Blizzard for D3, and I never bothered even trying D4 :P
I tried the D4 demo back in March '23 and while it had some promising ways, it also felt like something wasn't entirely right. I did play D3 thanks to my mom who wanted some couch co-op games on the PS4 I gave her (got my PS5 in April last year and she wanted the former console). D2Rez is a game that I'll always keep a spot in my heart since I grew up with D1 and 2. Ended up buying the Switch port for some Diablo 2 on the go on top of the Sony version since I have a friend who also bought it on that platform for some multiplayer
Thanks for this one Phil, when my weekend starts I will be doing some tweaks to my Nova Sorc, been having issues in early hell....... this is great!
So glad to see, you used the merc mancatcher. Thats exactly what i have and i was not sure if this will be good. Thanks again for showcase.
So happy to be playing D2 again. Just grinding my solo found characters. Finally have my Uber smiter geared out. It took awhile but I'm going to get me some torches!! Thanks Phil for all your tips, tricks and knowledge about the game over the years.
Yeah I just did my first four Uber run ever. I f... up one time, so only got three torches. Couldn't get back to my body - Mephisto keep one shotting me when I entered Tristam. Unfortunately none of my torches is for mage. I got for Necromancer, Druid and Amazon so I need more key running.
@nightworg yep I did the same thing on my first run lol
this'll be my build next season i think, ive somehow never made a nova sorc so its about time lol. also D2 FO LIFEEEE
Once you go nova infinity sorc it's hard to go back to anything else
how was your sorc? are u still playing d2r
Always loved this build. OG :)
Yeah I also have a Nova Sorceress. Don't have Infinity so I use Crescent Moon sword and spirit shield. I also use the three pieces of Tals set. Belt, armor and amulet for magic find. It not strong enough for Chaos Sanctuary, but good enough for pit at players three, and keys farming. Hopefully I will some day get the Ber's needed for Infinity.
I myself have a self wielding infinity sorceress and wear a griffons, magefist, 2 sojs, arachnid's, and crafted caster boots and it just melts players 8 games im in!
@@laurentfontaine3740 Amazing. How long did it take to get all the runes and gear ? You seem to have almost all the best in slot gear.
I first made a Hammerdin this ladder, then respecced to FOHdin, then i made a Sorc and now i have made Infinity for her and it rolled very good -53 320ED. And i have a perfect upped Vipermagi, and today i bought an 18 15 Griffon which i need to socket and then i still have no 5 5 light die, need 2, then i have no light skillers yet. But i have the rest.
Im gonna be swapping my chain lightning to this build, as soon as a i find a eth scythe base. You mentioned Lidless for offhand +1 skill, and how theyre a pain to find. To keep strength as low as possible, try a Splendor runeword in a 2 sock Small Shield with a str req of only 22! Buy one from charsi, and who hasnt got Eth & Lum kicking about by the time you're building this build!?
My favorite is 200fcr with Inifinity on the merc. Instead of coh, I have fortitude...Cure is an interesting option, which I may try, atm I am with Andy visage with a poison facet + phoenix on swap, it literally acts like a rejuv potion
Skin of the Flayed One is BOS for a Prayer Merc, just chuck a Shael in it to help him with his FHR.
Since you have max lightning mastery and all the prereq skills for Thunderstorm, you should put 1 skillpoint into Thunderstorm
It Is an Aura that Hits one random Monster every two Seconds. Not impressive but a little additional damage.
Its so little damage compared to the nova spam it wont even be noticable.
I did that too. Its fun when you rush players in Normal. Just tele arround and everything dies :)
My fav sorc build is the dual Blizz/Chain Light, just sad you can't get synnergies for dual specs
Full powerful!
Great video as always phil, was wondering tho, like the nightmare act 2 merc for holy freeze, does the normal act 2 merc have a higher prayer aura as opposed to a nm/hell act 2 merc?
Aura level is based off of merc level. So the hell merc will start at a hugher aura level due to their higher starting level.
what up Sweet Phil!
After 20 years today i made my first Infinity ever. And i am using it for my nova sorc now :D
i usually run 200fcr with infinity on merc. insight is uneeded when your dmg is high enough
Played for all of season 4 was a great season on d2r
You could use Sigons shield for the +1 to skills super low strength requirement. Phil
why not just make a second spirit shield and have +2 to skills instead?
phil said it costs strength@@doctormarazanvose4373
@@doctormarazanvose4373high strength requirement of 4 socket shields?
So really the big difference for the Infinity nova sorc which has been my main Char for like over a year now which the clear speed is faster than anything I have come across is the healing and curse removal factor from your companion yeah?
Hey man
You can make a rw called splendor on a low req shield for 1more all skills for yourself on cta
Hey man, great job as always ð, may ask a question if the set player 8 gives 450% for solo player, is that mean that at level 98 will get 5% xp instead of 0.5% ? Or it doesn't work that way?
Thank you in advance.
It is 450% * 0.59% = about 2.65% of monsters base exp (0.59% is rounded 98 lvl penalty).
I use a non eth mancatcher on single for my spear zon but i also rolled a eth thresher on single recently.
I'm on the crescent moon phase of the build and still have a ton of fun crushing P7 T-Zones.
P7? How? Whatâs your gear?
@@A_state_of_PJ crescent moon sword griffons eye diadem with light facet spirit shield vipermagi armor upped to wyrmhide mage fist or trangs gloves for fcr or plus to fire skill to boost warmth for ES maintain. Gold wrap belt for MF aldur boots for fire res and run walk. I have a cta on swap but rarely use it as it's a low roll on BO. lightning sunder charm gheeds charm Anni charm no torch yet offline a couple skill charms and some mana life grand charms and I fill the rest of the space with res and mf small charms. On the vipermagi you can use a face for more damage or put an ort rune for light res if you come up short.
Nice video
Thanks
could also use signon shield its +1 skill for budget stuffs
Next time im going crescent moon / phoenix shield. I'll clear almost as fast and never use pots.
Lets goooooo
Hi Phil. Your content is awesome, greetings from Brasil! How much is your MF and damage with this gear?
I'm pretty sure this character has about 200mf
With the sunder charms, I prefer a spirit+eschuta build with 200fcr for the final breakpoint on my nova sorc and cta+spirit on swap. Infinity seems unnecessary now and having 200fcr is a lot of fun.
Of course, it is hard to get a decent amount of mf though. In fact, my nova sorc only has 150ish mf. I also have everything socketed with facets, but perhaps you're right that it might be better to socket for mf instead. The extra -5 +5 is nice, but not super neccesary.
I built this but found it hard to do damage in hell. I had no skill charms so it was rough with only around +8 to skill with gear. I respec to blizz and can actually kill stuff easier. I miss the full screen static though! Makes group play faster!
It's a fun build very fast paced play style. I can't wait to respec back!
Phil, can you help me out and let me know what gear I can use to have a little more MF with this build? Thanks.
Hello, can you replace lidless wall by monarch-spirit?
just wasted 2 sets of runes trying to make that cure helm... thanks for not mentioning that its ladder only :P
what about porting to trone and crossing nervous souls with that spec ?
Strength is such an undesirable element to develop in this situation that it is even advisable to lose your bonuses
Why do you use sander charm with infinity?
Was curious about lidless is that used instead of spirit monarch due to the strength requirement?
Not speaking for Phil, but that is usually why it is done. Overall your gear has very low strength reqs unless you use boots that have a higher req, I use silkweave and it is my highest gear requirement at 65 strength, so save 91 stat points that can go to energy
@@southhouse8420 alright I figured but decided to ask anyway. Makes sense basically the extra points needed isn't worth the health loss for 1 extra points, thank you for replying.
Skin of the flayed one for LL
Phil, you are
Yaaaa Phil buddy. Hit the D2 hard boy, get back on your gritty yo! The fan club for D2 is much more loyal and interested than the d4 and you enjoy it more as well I can tell. GG buddy.
My biggest problem is that I've found exactly ONE sunder charm and it was poison :(
Iâm having a tough time finding gear. Iâm building off of a level 63 holy shock paladin. Currently looking for crescent moon base. Any tips to help out for my single player pally?
I find the most bases in cows and chaos
I have everything but griffs and a caster ammy; is this still ok?
The crecent moon runeword works? I mean with spirit shield?
Ya that is a solid option.
What would you consider a decent budget alternative to CoH for the merc?
I use Griswolds with 2 sol and an ort. (Prayer merc+insight+cure) No life leach, but dude never dies.
You can use "Skin of the Flayed One" has 5-7 life leech, but I don't really think you need life leech to be honest. It is better to have high res on the hireling.
Will this work without the griffins but everything else?
Using 2 sojs and 20fcr gloves is way better then frostburn and fcr rings. Plus skills is better as you only need level 39 plus BAttle command to
Get to perfect ES
What would you recommend as a replacement for Cure? I play Non Ladder
If you're still online you can wait until ladder resets and trade for one. If you're single player you should be able to make non-ladder runewords no problem. Otherwise the standard options. Something with resists and life steal. Stealcasque, Crown of Thieves, Vampire's Gaze, Andariel's Visages socketed with a Ral, or the cheap and easy to find Tal Rasha's Mask.
@@Bloodstar6078Iâm online non ladder so we donât have it unfortunately.
95% PSN resistance on my end
I am the Sorceress of LightâĶ in ârealâ life âĶ energy is energy.
How come some build guides say to max out thunderstorm?
Thanks!
Thunderstorm suks, Skip it.
Once I'm done with my wind druid, I'm making a sorc for my 2nd char.
What sorc do you think is best for farming end game? Nova, blizzard, hydra?
Nova for farming runes, Blizzard for MF-ing. (imo)
I play SP only. I turned my lightning sorc to ES self wield infinity nova sorc. I find it much funnier to play.
I put a eth fort on my merc and heâs staying alive through most of my fights
Splendor is good cheap +1 skill shield if you have low str. You can make it any 2 soc shield
Nef + Lum
+1 To All Skills
+10% Faster Cast Rate
+20% Faster Block Rate
+60-100% Enhanced Defense
+10 To Energy
Regenerate Mana 15%
50% Extra Gold From Monsters
20% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items
+3 To Light Radius
I know this isnt meant as a leveling build but i did it anyway. Nm A5 is rough with 190 hp and low ranks in energy shield....at what point does it become "tanky"?
isnt infinity enough to make all monsters light immunity gone? why you have a lightning sunder aswell? also isnt forti ethereal better than coh for merc? or for this build coh is best?
He explains that CoH is for the life leech.
Conviction can't break all immunities. Certain uniques and champions will spawn with unbreakable immunities.
Im on soft core -so i dont have cure :(( but the build is SICK everything dies within 5 secs unless i get the curse that takes health on cast.. but my question is can i do ubers with it online - softcore???
I seriously destroy anything in 5 seconds - had a diablo spawn today - 5 seconds n dead - but really want to know if i can do ubers .. plz help phil
Trying to follow this build, what you do about resistances mine are -23
Probably has torch and anni
Only poison res matters
You have a shield that pretty much will do, but change the topaz for a UM, and find some small all res charms. Focus on lightning and fire.
I dont play much SP so i understand the Mancatcher, but Brandistock is better cause its -20 speed not -10 as scythe and that helps if you wanna self wield it also on trapsin.
You wouldnât put a scythe or Brandi stock on an end game merc
â@@bivdogright, but if you have the runes to spare making it in a brandistock has the lowest requirements while being a fast base for use on trapsin as well. Thats what he's saying.
@@off-meta-michael yes, if you have the runes to spare
Ladder or non ladder?
This looks gat but question is how do you get to that level? All your videos are of high level and optimal gear. Iâm just going to hell so how do you survive when you only level 60
You power level and teleport... a lot.
Who knows when we are getting a new season?
just make splendor shield for +1 skill shield
definitely a budget buildð
i thought that Cure is ladder only runeword, am i wrong? Can i make Cure in offline singleplayer mode?
Cures from prior ladder exist, can't make it on NL til after S5 starts hopefully.
Yes you can make cure in offline single player.
It does rely on the end game gear for maximum efficiency, but once you get there it's possibly the most OP Sorc build in the game. I remember playing this around 2010 on ladder & it wrecked everything back then too.
Well now you have sunder charms which really make a big difference, significant buff to modern sorc
Did you cover what happens when you forget energy shield?
You fucking die instantly in Trav ð happened to me once, now I ES the moment the game starts even before cta buffs in case I forget
I would never do that, so no ðĪĢ
Wait so you are telling me you found all this on sp? how long did it take??
Some of these videos are made with Hero Editor.
Answering your question, it could take months or just days, RnG plays a big role.
Maybe I missed this, but I donât believe you explained why the self wield infinity is better than merc wielding it and sorc holding normal wep + spirit. Is it because conviction applies quicker or something?
Because infi has -55% enemy lightning resistance which is far better than +5 skills (oak + spirit)
@@ateenschen1577 i wonder if crescent moon + spirit (-35% Lres + 2 skills) + Infinity on merc would be better than self wield infinity with -55%? since you don't just get plus skills but also other vastly good bonus with equipping spirit like resistance, life, mana, and best of all, 35 fcr; which mean you are more flexible on choosing more mf gears
But you lose insight
@@PLDUS1310 You can get Insight from a Metalgrid iron golem. Metalgrid has bad stats otherwise though.
@@v-long2136 Negative, +2 skills only give around 15% enhanced overall lightning damage, but infi can give additional -20% enemy lightning resist which is still far better than +2 skill. However, if you use crescent moon, you can use shako and 105FCR at ease, it will give you better MF when you doing 3pp mf in pit and cow with a2 merc using insight only. A very decent choice in ladder start.
Any word on S5?
Hey Phil, this sorc is by far the most char Iâve even played in d2. The speed, damage and play style is unmatched.
D4 is unplayable for me for some reason all of a sudden. Ordered more ram. I've still never made my own infinity on singleplayer hmmm...

Probably the fastest build in the game. Javazon is a bit faster killing monsters but teleport speed is unmatched so overall sorc is the more faster build.
trident is best in slot for self weilding infinity. Lowest strn required
Because he uses a mancatcher, he can also put it on his merc without sacrificing damage
@@bivdog 4:05 he mentions best in slot is sythe. Im making the claim trident is best in slot for self use sine it has even lower strength requirements then the scythe.
@@hawk71432âwhat most people consider, what most people useâ
Which is true facts.âïļ
that is exactly what I am wielding
isnt lightning 117 faster casting rate for the cap?
for lightning and xhain lightning only not for nova or tele
I am running the Griffon's Eye, but i am still only at 200 mf. would it be fine to run my shako, which has 74%, which would boost me over 250 mf?
choosing between 200mf when using griffons and 274mf using shako, I would choose the griffons and 200mf.
200mf is enough. You're near diminishing returns
But what if the Ethereal weapon breaks?
She's casting spells...
â@@EagleBreasts oh. I thought dying reduced durability.
I've been playing blizz sorc with 3 piece tals. 450+ mf and can clear any content, but I just foudn a griffons and I'm considering swapping to this. Idk how I'd like losing all that mf butthis is a build I've never played so that alone makes me wanna give it a go
Not a shock Sweet you back in D2, you mighta blew me off but I don't care, we still chums
Not sure when I blew you off. If it was in livestream I could have just missed it, or didn't understand the comment. So many comments come in so fast, if I don't understand most times I just move on. Either way, my bad.
A 5/5 faceted plus 3 to nova Ormus is far better. I mean either way melts players 1âĶ.I ran vipermagi until I could trade for one and I havenât looked back. A powerful and fun character . Great key farmer too ð
Idk you lose too much,
Ormus you lose 10 fcr, so you have to drop a soj losing the huge mana boost, and +1 to all skills
You lose 13 magic damage reduced by, very important for surviving as energy shield sorc.
You lose the +1 to all skills from vipermagiâĶ so thatâs 2 nova, 2 lightning mastery (from the 2 to all skills) you lose for 3 nova and roughly the equivalent of +to lightning skill damage as one level of lightning mastery.
Not really much of a gain, big losses.
Also really hard to find a 3 nova in single player, and you can put a -5/5 in vipermagi too. I wouldnât even keep the 3 nova in single player
Also lose +2 to frozen armor, +2 to warmth, +2 to battle orders, +2 to Thunderstorm with Ormus
@@southhouse8420u donât lose a SoJ get an FCR ammy. Iâve done it both ways and since resists are irrelevant Ormus is better in every way. If u are after raw damage that is the BIS armor for this build.
This is with a 10 fcr ammie that I figured that, unless you mean a 2/20fcr caster ammie which is impractical in single player simply for how bad the odds are of ever rolling one. Youâd have to trade for one to get one in multiplayer and they go for a lot. Iâd still use vipermagi with +3 lightning skills +10fcr ammy. Resistance on vipermagi isnât too important but 35 poison resistance isnât something to ignore on nova sorc, and 13 magic damage reduced by is the more important stat
Although I admit I could see where youâre coming from if you happen to have a 2 sorc 20 fcr amulet with nice other rolls but I thought those were like 40jahs+ in value kinda rare. Was never that rich on ladder and switched to single player a while back. And it would still be defensively worse, unless the ammie was gg
So you have 0 FHR?
105
@@SweetPhil Iâm assuming youâre talking about FCR, I was asking about faster hit recovery. I know from my own that the only place Iâm getting FHR is on some rare tri-res, 25% mf boots and charms
I always aim for max res on every character on any difficulty.
Try Dual Dream with a Crescent Moon as weapon and 4 5/5 lighting facets OMG!!!
What's with his obsession for poison res? ð
How much mf do you have with that setup? a good amount which seems to kind of top you out is around 300-350 mf, is that possible with this setup?
ofc you probably kill faster than a blizz sorc can, so maybe it evens out :D and for runes mf doesn't matter anyway so it's def. better with a light sorc for runes
He has around 150, basically impossible to get above 250 with self wield infinity without 2/20 amulet etc
That amulet is 100% hero edited in
if you make a build video of a nova sorc, dont get lazy at the infinity. you waste way to much stats to wear that version of infinity.
Yeah totally terrible build........
You gotta put one skill into thunder storm, it does over 2k damage per hit. There's no reason not to have it, especially since it's passive.
