Firewall viable in 1.1?

[pain1nurass]

If it's maxed along with fire mastery and +skills, could it be viable in hell. I know it doesn't get synegies which sucks but the damage is per second and it lasts for 3.6 secs. The radius is sooo huge too!

The reason I'm asking is that Fo/firewall sorceress would be cool!

Another question. I can't see how hydra deals enough damage on hell. :scratch:
Why bother with it then?

idk about hydra, but FW will work in hell. the thing is, it doesn't have a radius, its a big line. if anything, its a rectangle, not a circle. but linguistics aside, you need a tank for it to work. iether tank yourself or get a merc to tank or something. because it is dmg per second (or per frame if you want to be correct) the enemy needs to stand still for it to have a good effect.

If you run meph with ur sorc, fw/fo is a decent combo, although, meteor/fo will kill him fine...

Other places, you will find yourself cursing fw...

It isn't anything like the 1.09 fw though. I tried it and I failed miserably with fw. Although with a better build and stat assortment it could work.

My summoner necromancer with a few pieces of the Trang set has been playing around with it lately...

It makes me wish that I could have the full level 20+ with 20+ fire mastery on him but then I'd also like to have 20 meat and bone shields holding the monsters still with flame tickling their feet as a sorc...

I haven't tried the firewall build with a Sorc in 1.10 but I imagine it would be pretty frustrating trying to pin down the fast moving monsters and groups.

My latest sorc is FO/FW.... Basicly I use static+FW+merc to deal with cold immunes.... it works fine.

I did:

20 Ice Bolt
20 Orb
20 FW
20 FM
rest CM

I dunno how well it will work in full games, but i like mfing in solo games, and in that setting it works great.

Oh yeah, probably max block is a good idea with this build as well so you can tank a little bit if you need to.

My Hydras kick out over 1000 damage per "spit". It shoots like ten times and I can get 4 Hydras up at once (I think). It works in Hell trust me and this is a 1.09 build.

Fire wall is cool and I can't get anywhere near the damage of a Sorceress. My Necro with full Trangs has a load of fun with it (But my minions kind of keep em in "line", if you know what I mean). A Sorceress can do a bunch more damage then I ever could with my Necro.

I always had the problem with the monster moving off the line, but it's a pretty fast cast. You'll have fun with it.
