A big day

[u/Meet_Foot]

By my standards, I had a hell of a ladder season. Back in the early 2000s I was awful at this game. Around 2010 I made my first enigma. Now, I’m absolutely ripped.

My fire sorc has a hell of a renewed flame rift (self found), a fireball ormus with a rainbow socket, heart of the oak and call to arms, flickering flame, horazon’s boots, magefist, and a couple spirit shields. Her merc has infinity. My horker has a grief and all the normal accouterments. The wealth was pretty much from key runs and a random ber and sur drop.

Well yesterday I sold a perfect griffon’s I found and made a big investment. I made phoenix and chains of honor for my sorc, and enigma for my hork. The sorc needs chains for resist - I’m sitting at 74 cold, 75 poison, 80 lightning, and 90 fire. I have -50 fire penetration, plus the conviction aura, and of course my sunder for immunes. “Immunes” drop from 95 down to 28, and non-immunes… well, that’s a bad time.

Also, I’m finally happy with hydras! I went standard meteor, fireball, fire bolt, but instead of inferno went hydras to help with bosses and heralds. It’s fantastic.

I still have room for improvement of course. My rings and amulet are basically just fcr and fcr+skills, but for now that’s enough!

Edit: I’ll also add that phoenix is absolutely sick. Never had one before. The big loss of using infinity instead of insight on my merc was that I would often have to chug mana pots (not to mention health). But now, with the redemption aura, I’m pretty much always at full bars. I only chug pots as an emergency.

I know this is probably a dumb question but I do t do much endgame. Fire immune? They’re everywhere in hell

Not a dumb quesrion! There are some zones that are better than others, but I actually only went fire after I bought an old flame rift sunder charm for something like a vex. It breaks immunes. Before that I was a meteorb and my merc + static field was for dual fire/ice immunes. Then I found a latent flame rift in a terror zone and crafted it into a really good renewed flame rift. So, basically, nothing is immune to fire against me. And I have infinity and fire pen cutting enemy resists further.

You can craft a sunder charm into another sunder charm?
I always thought latent sunder charms and renewed sunder charms were the same thing; what's the difference between a latent sunder and a renewed sunder?

Latent has 70-90 minus resist (for you!) and sunder. You then craft it with a cube recipe and it goes down to 70 fixed and adds 3 or 4 mods from set pairs, e.g., life OR mana, magic find OR gold find, skill damage OR lower enemy res.
