Nova Sorceress
The ultimate 360-degree AoE clearing machine. Nova releases a ring of lightning in all directions, instantly hitting everything around you. Combined with Energy Shield for tankiness and Infinity for immunity breaking, Nova Sorc is one of the fastest farmers in the game.
Pros

Cons

- -Must Teleport into melee range — dangerous positioning
- -Very expensive endgame setup (Infinity + Griffon's + Enigma)

Play Style
Teleport directly into the center of monster packs, spam Nova to hit everything in 360 degrees. Energy Shield absorbs incoming damage to your mana pool. Static Field bosses, then Nova spam. The cycle is: Teleport → Nova × 3-4 → Teleport to next pack. Extremely fast but requires constant aggression.
Mercenary
Act 2 Offensive (Might) — Infinity is MANDATORY for breaking Lightning Immune. This build requires Infinity even more than Lightning Sorc because Nova is close-range. Treachery + Andariel's Visage.
