At the moment, I'm rebuilding my Blizzard sorc, who I'll use more or less exclusively to glitch run hell Meph. I'm not quite sure about which items to use, though. I'm considering several options, but am not sure which of these would be best, so I'd like to get some opinions from more experienced players.
All options will include Magefist, a Spirit Monarch, and War Traveler. I reach the 105 FCR breakpoint with any of them. I'll use a Gull Dagger and Rhyme on switch, for an additional 125 MF. Also included is a Gheed's, and possibly Nagelrings, boosting my MF about another 90-100. So, with War Traveler, that's about 245-275 MF. Even more if I get some MF small charms.
Equipment option 1:
Full Tal's... I gotta say, I love this set, and my current Blizz sorc is using it. +skills, 168 MF, great resists, +15% cold skill damage. Not as much damage as option 2, though. This setup with torch, 2 cold skillers, 1 cold facet and a Battle Order will result in 6,181.8 Blizzard damage and -175% enemy cold resistance.
Equipment option 2:
Nightwing's Veil + Vipermagi + Mara's + Oculus + Snowclash... probably the best option damage-wise, unless I use a Death's Fathom instead of the Oculus. However, this setting only gives 75 res all and an irrelevant 50 MF. I can switch Nightwing's Veil for a Shako to get another 50 MF. I'd lose the cold skill damage, but even without it, my damage would be higher than with full Tal's. Not much, though. This setup with torch, 2 cold skillers, 1 cold facet and a Battle Order will result in 7,085.28 Blizzard damage (6,413 with Shako instead of Nightwing's) and -175% enemy cold resistance.
Equipment option 3:
Nightwing's Veil + Tal's Armor + Tal's Ammy + Tal's Belt + Oculus... Less damage than the other 2 options, even less resistances (except for Lightning), but the most MF (218). After calculating the damage of only 6,167.72 I can rule this option out. Least damage, least resists. Definitely not worth the increased MF in my opinion.
Anyway, long story short: What would you guys suggest? Maybe another setting even? What would be the best option for a Meph runner?
