Resists or Damage (or both)?

[_Mythos]

My dillema is great
I have a nice meteor/fireball sorc and i have a few questions about what my gear should be. resist gear or damage gear? I am planning to do baal runs and dc hunts.

About resists - I will be using 8 5allresists sc and a 20res anni
that is 40+20 = 60 resists
add 30 resists from anya quests that makes total of 90 resists

so right now i have 0 resists in hell and the dillema is here:

eschutas or oculus (for resists)?
mete ormus or perfect vipermagi (cheap) or coh (expensive)?
maras30 or 3fire+second mod amu?

please advice all possible calculations that could give me 75res in hell (or closer to 75) and analyse on the pros and cons in terms of damage/resists/price

should i pick resists or more damage? i can also socket stuff with um runes or 5/5 fire facets. what should i do?

any help is greatly apprieciated :)

If I read correctly, you plan to kill Diablo Clone with a Pure Fire sorc ?? Suicidal tendencies... :lol:
And BTW how will you deal with the fire immune minions in Baal's Throne Room ?

Tip : DC is 95% fire resistant and has TONS of life regen...

i want be alone on either cases

[Harby]

if you really want to kill dclone with a pure fire sorc you should get max resists to stay alive + max block to tank a bit + GOOD merc + pmh mod on sorc + fire facets/wand with LR charges to do some damage with your spells.

If you have fully synergized your meteor already you should already do a good amount of damage. Do some runs and see what you need if your res are fine then go with dge, if you find you die due to elemental then get some resistances. I really don't see whats so hard about it.

I personally would go with the Viper ( umed )

[UselessOne]

For resists, try a Wizardspike, Moser's Blessed Circle with perfect diamonds and a Vipermagi if you are attempting to do certain quests solo or if you are going through acts 1-5 (without a rush) trying to finish the game. Once you can finish the game and are doing Baal runs, damage probably has a higher priority. MF runs tend to be have specific sorc builds and requirements for each different boss you try to kill.

sad to say it but almost no one answered what i really asked :/

[Rekoc]

Coh=Plus 2 skills and 65 reses
Viper with um= 50 reses 1 all skills 30 FCR
(if you go with viper then you only need 25 more reses, Coh you need 10)

Maras=2 all skills 5 all atrib. and 30 reses
3 fire = 3 to fire skills and a 2nd mod
(depends on if you want more plus skills in other areas)

Occy=3 all skills 20? reses Lots of FCR and other good mods
Eld orb= More fire and light damage, 1-3 all skills and fire and light reses?)

If you could go with CoH, Eld orb, and 3 fire ammy. If you cant then just use the viper with um and you should skill come out with enough reses and if you dont like it then switch your ammy to a maras.

That a better reply? lol
