i used the number 1 sorcerer build from maxroll website and can only get to the pit tier 80. anyway to get to pit 120?
Might I suggest follow Northwar, the creator of the build and ask him.
After all it is just another op build running around the game trying to “finish” the season as quickly as possible.

i used the heir of perdition and can complete the pit 80 in 8min. the problem is the harlequin crest. 100% critcal strike chance.
when i use harlequin crest, i can only complete the pit 80 in 2min.
I dont understand what is being communicated here

That’s why I’m running Incinerate telestomp with the WD beam of death and beast modifier. A non-FOTM build that nobody plays. Endless frozen vulnerable mobs… and all the Incinerate builds I’ve seen online aren’t set up like this so I am gonna push it as far as I can.
Got my last piece of gear last night and now just have to finish farming. Gear is at 8/12 MW and glyphs are at 25… I’m P171. Facerolled a Pit 70 last night.
I feel confident I can do 100+ once I finish farming.

I believe the op thinks his build is not performing, but doing pit 80 in 2 minutes is considered not performing…

Congrats! I’m working on ice shards, my own flavor. Still a work in progress but can do pit 45 now fairly quickly…

Nice! Yeah I’m just not into FOTM builds and played Fireball in S6 so now trying Incinerate.
The boss powers make all the difference IMO and the build synergy with frost nova/exploding mobs is definitely there.
Will post a video here once I start pushing the limits.
Actually I took my shard Sorc in eternal and built it with what I did in s8 and I was pleasantly surprised how well it does without boss powers…
I also plan on creating a vid of my build when I get further
I greatly enjoy this aspect of the build. Even running Iceheart on it to get more of this effect snapping…

It’s always fun to get creative. I’m stacking CDR with the war cry/frost nova runes and have nova on my bar. The WD beam and beast modifier (+50% chill) along with endless nova spam and then frozen mobs exploding in fire is working really well. Ice/Flame shields have a sub 7 sec CD and my ultimate is at 10 sec. Teleport is at 4 sec plus evade ports are basically instant. Gonna be fun to see how far I can get.

The build in maxroll is legit build, it is hard to push above Pit 100. Only those bugged build using multi dipping on Enlightenment passive, snap shoot and bug tempering can go above 110.
Blizzard has promised to patch bug build within one week to avoid player heavy invested in gears based on bug. Where are the fix on +18 stacks Primordial Binding glove and all those 5 digits % elemental damage from Enlightenment?

Try mekuna or especially Lurkin for LS builds.
And yet other classes have more S tiers. So WHY nerf the lowly sorc?
The build is based on bug, LS is going to be terrible next season when all this bugs are fix. There is reason no one play the new Ice Shard Uniques as you do much more damage with the bugged LS. Besides Blizzard was dumb to make it a Helm, not a glove or Pant.
You can see how Spiritborn end up this season after all theirs bugs are fix. Until someone has figured out a bug in Varshan power can boost its damage to trillions. LS sorc was carried by bugs since last season, it doesn’t reflect the real situation of class balance.
The only thing need to fix is nerf Bloodwave and Bone spear Overpower prop. This two builds are not normal, overpower should not be a skill with 100% uptime. The reason no one play blood lance as it doesn’t has 100% Overpower uptime, unlike Bone Spear. With the nerf to this two necro skills, the class balance situation will be better even their bugs are removed next season.
We should look into Rogue Death Trap and Minion Barb nerf too.
Um, thanks for clarifying that I am no one as that is exactly the build I’m running this season…
I don’t agree I twas “dumb”; not logical in what I know but I don’t know the games future either or what changes to make… Heck they could have made it yet another aspect. I mean after all we don’t have enough of them currently anyway.
I lose a helm option. To make it pants or gloves I then lose two tempers and another slot to a unique. So where does the answer to this really sit?
I play Bone spear Necro with Deathless Visage, although it is also a Unique helm. Blizzard did a better job by making it do way more damage than Heir of Perdition. Bone spear also supported by an Unique pant and Unique Boots.
Ice Shard Unique look pale compare to Bone Spear, it is not doing much more damage compare to Heir of Perdition. No other Uniques supporting this skill too.

Actually Iceheart and blizzard complement ice shards quite nicely.
How high I can take it, I don’t know yet as I’m still building it. Will it be the so highly praised S-Tier? Probably not, but I play fun builds I enjoy playing rather than some broken build sitting on some artificial S-Tier from streamers. If others play them, fine it is how they want to play and that is what gaming is.

Yup, I was thinking of making this combination too if I have time. Both work in good synergy, what is missing is the big multiplicative damage. Bone Spear not only has 3 Uniques with Multiplicative damage, it also tag on the powerful blood passive skills on Necro. Overpower itself is not a proper balanced skill as it has uncap scaling with max life.
Ice Shard is going to be great for open world farming, it may not suitable for pushing pit. I don’t play in Pit as I am not in Season realm, so I don’t have much concern about DPS of each builds. As long as it can get the job done for the content I am doing.
For the non bugged versions, lucky hit FoF with azurewrarh with ga on cold damage on lucky hit works nicely for ice shard. You can even use blue rose for its ga on cold damage in connection with enlightment.
I am playing a blizzard sorc with exploding spikes. I am climbing the pit 80 up at the moment. T4 bosses are joke with her.
You can do pit 90 easily with non OP version, above gets super buggy exploity.
Incinerate can turn S tier too If you use MacroBioBoy Boss Power + Accursed Touch Aspect combination. Even if Sorcerer don´t do corruption damage, the varshan boss power will scale with the 2 handed weapon and to billions and billions damage over time.-
Currently I am play LS but sometime in the future I will test it.
I am using these boss powers in Shadow Necro and Death Trap Rogue and damage is crazy.
