I have built a metaorb and she drops good dmg. she is lvl 73 w/ orb, CM, and meteor maxed out. I have been able to make it through NM, I needed some help in a couple of places, but i can hold my own. I am collecting Tal's set, and have the armor, belt, and helm at the moment.

1. what shield? hear alot about StormShield, my strength is 125 right now.

2. What Guantlets or hand gear is best?

3. should I start investing some skill points in the lightining skills, for hell?

4. Is it worth collecting Tal's set or should i get other equip?

5. still having a problem teleporting, any advice there would be helpfull. The problem I have is that I start, then end up in the middle of a bunch of monsters, get pounded from all directions and die.


that is it for know, but i am sure more will come up. thank you in advance for replying.

1.Ss is good, So is upgraded Visceraunt, lidless, and whistan's guard.2.Frostburn, magefist, or trang gloves are all good gloves.3. Your meteorb so don't put any into lightning skills besides teleport etc.4. Yes tal's set is worth it.5.try to tele on the edges of the place you're at, don't tele though the middle of the place, stay along the edges.

dont give 'some' points to static, you just need 1 and let +skill works

thanks. i am getting plus skills from items in the set. I have already run into cold/fire imune monsters in act 1. So I am planning on adding 1 to some of the lightening skills. atleast i can do damage from a distance while my merc sticks em.

Since your Str is already that high i would give Stormshield a definite shot!

2. What Guantlets or hand gear is best?

Best gauntlets for a Sorceress you can have on a Meteorb build ->
Magefist: +1 Fire Skills, +20%FCR, +25% Manaregen

3. should I start investing some skill points in the lightining skills, for hell?

1pt Static Field, 1pt Telekinesis, 1pt Teleport
All else into Fireball, Meteor, Fire Mastery, Frozen Orb, and you should have 8pts in Cold Mastery

4. Is it worth collecting Tal's set or should i get other equip?

Tal's Set is a great set for a Meteorb. Add 2 +x/-5 Fire Facet in Orb and Mask and give the Armor a PTopaz. Your Fire damage will be boosted quite a bit by those 2 Fire Facets.

5. still having a problem teleporting, any advice there would be helpfull. The problem I have is that I start, then end up in the middle of a bunch of monsters, get pounded from all directions and die.

1. At least 63% FCR! or 105%
2. Get a Staff with +3 Shiver Armor on switch or invest 2 points to get that Armor. Shiver armor works on attack and not hit. So monsters will be slowed as soon as they want to attack you.
3. Have a Merc with you who will take most of your attacks. Act2 Holy Freeze, Defiance and Might Merc are all good
4. With some practice you can keep the Teleport button down all the time and so will be much faster. With this technique you will have to enable /nopickup or press ALT so that you wont stop when your mouse hovers over a chest or ohter selectable items.
