Lightning Sorc in Chaos

[WzWz]

I've just made my lightning sorc, and it seems to work pretty well in Chaos, except my merc dies probably 1.5 times per run or so. Currently, it's using an Eth GPA Infinity. I was thinking of switching to Scythe Infinity, but realized that I wouldn't be able to kill the immunes that are unbreakable. What's your solution? :scratchchin:

I thought Infinity broke all the LIs in CS?

I guess the solution then would be Teleport :)

Alternately....carry a wand of Lower Resist would be the only other way to break them. Or lots of potions and patience....(that rhymes out loud lol)

I've found that sometimes, the Infector has an unbreakable lightning immunity. Maybe the Vizier also.

[Scudstorm]

All three (Grand Vizier of Chaos, Lord de Seis and Infector of Souls) will be unbreakable if they spawn Lightning Enchanted. None of them will be breakable even after lvl3 Lower Resist charges. The highest breakable (with Infy + lvl3 Lower Resist) Lightning Immune is 124% Lightning Resistance, and they have 175%, 135% and 150% Lightning Resistance respectively when spawned Lightning Enchanted.

I suggest to keep going with the high dmg Infy if you can keep up with the cash. If you run Chaos regularly, it's better to go with another char as there's no clear way around mercs in there. You can always hold the Infy yourself on a Nova or CB build, but on a Lightning build it's a pain.

I usually teleport like mad when my merc gets IM'd that way he doesn't go poking stuff he shouldn't..

I use the same tactic. Playing carefully and keeping distance, not letting him get surrounded or too far in the crowd when facing IM casters goes a long way.
