Having infrinite mana helps to keep him alive and improves kill speed but sometimes that’s not enough against hard mobs. Regularly switches between 3 weapons - Eth CV Insight for ‘easy’ farm areas, Kelpie’s Snare for bosses (underrated best boss weapon), Reaper’s toll for ‘hard’ areas where he is prone to dying. There are some mobs with 0 cold resist and some with 75 cold resist but most are in the 25-50 range from what I saw. I suggest aiming for somewhere between 125-150% total cold mastery which would make it relevant and very useful against most non-immune mobs. Prebuff Enchant and ES from +5 staff shopped at NM Ormus.Įxtra points after 92 will get split up between icebolt, fire mastery, and cold mastery depending on what I feel like would benefit me most and how many +skills I have at that point. My FireOrb singleplayer Hardcore soreceress that fully cleared (not teleported) and is now farming all of hell is aiming towards this at 92 Kill speed isn’t great but I can clear everything comfortably on players 1-3 depending on area (with better gear I’ll be doing everything on players 3+).ġ in TK, Teleport, Static, Frozen Armor, Warmth. Go up to 9 total (hard) points into Fire Mastery, then alternate Warmth and Fire Mastery

Fire Mastery from a purely damage perspective? Starting at 1 point in Warmth and 1 point in Fire Mastery, when should you put points in Warmth vs. This means the optimal skill point distribution will vary depending on how much + skills you have. There’s a tipping point where it switches which one you should put a point in next for the bigger damage bonus. The starting value of Fire Mastery, the number of points you have in each, and how much +skills you have buffing Fire Mastery, alters the relative gain you get from the next point in each. And also that +skills do not boost the synergy bonus, but they DO boost the Fire Mastery bonus. And note that Fire Mastery doesn’t start at 0, the first point has extra value (30% at level 1 and +7% after that). You have to consider the relative gain, not the absolute gain. It’s going to come down to 4% fire damage to firewall and increased mana regen from a hard point in warmth, or 7% fire skill damage to firewall from mastery (per skill point).
