Resists aren't really necessary, I think. With a buffer of 3000 life and decent life leech, you should almost never die. From what you've posted, I think you'd want to respec. 1000 life isn't really that great. I aim for 1000 life with a sorc.

I suggest maxing ww, mastery, find item and bo. Remaining points in natural resistance if thats what you prefer, though I personally think its great as a one point wonder.

Poison charms aren't worth it. Maybe one, to negate healing. However, council don't heal that much anyways.

Phase blades are preferred for a grief, due to grief's unique modifier of +damage. This results in on weapon weapon damage of around ~400 with a phase blade. Plus phase blades are really fast (weapon speed of -300, and indestructible to boot.


As I said, berserk isn't really good for travincal, but really great for the pits. click

One budget choice for a weapon I've seen several people in the spf use is an upped ribcracker. Pretty good for how easy it is to find.

Also, have you read this? Really great guide by fabian.

I just hit manaburners with a regular attack, leech enough mana for a whirl, and voila. WW will function as a regular attack if you have no mana.

Regarding player setting, I keep it on /p3. /p3 gives you 60% more drops from regular monster, while doubling their life. /p7 gives 40% more drops compared to /p3 but doubles the monsters life still, and is usually never worth it. However, I run the pits at/p7 with my poison-mancer as I can hardly tell the difference between /p1 and /p7.


Hope that answers most of your questions.
I appreciate the post

Its nice to air some thoughts and get some nice feedback.
I have like 90 unspent statpoints, which i intend to dump into vita. but i must respec either way, cause my build is sorta crocked.. i kinda switched plans midways.


Maybe i could do it with 3000hp, im not sure.. im used to getting haunted and slapped hard with elemental spells if the resists arent up, its what i fear most on hell difficulty, but i usually only play squishy characers(sorceress.)

I will try abit with whirlwind, till i get more heavy gear.

Also, i read the champion pitrunner ill check the other out after som sleep.

Thanks gnite
