Meteor/Blizz Sorc.. possible??

[Emericanzero]

I was wondering.. would a meteor/blizz sorc work out?

In short- yes. Most builds are able to beat hell. This has been proven by the extreme players. As to whether it will be a new uber build- not very likely since both of the spells have synergies which make them the killers that they are known to be. Not saying they aren't strong without, but if you want to go dual tree, going one aoe-spell and one spam-spell works out nicely for maximizing damage. Take a peak at the tri-elemental sorc post down below, it has some good incites on how builds with no/low synergies are able to make it through hell.

Replacing Frozen Orb with Blizzard for the "Meteorb" buid will work nicely. Your damage compared to Frozen Orb might lack a bit due to no sufficient synergies for Blizzard, but with +skills you will still do well in Hell, no matter if going alone or with 8-player runs.

You will then have FB/Meteor/Blizzard/GS
Why GS? Well the damage will be pathetic, but you can still hold monsters in place or slow them 8)

ok, i asked the same question about this build last week some time... this is what i got.

"Blizzard and meteor are much too synergy dependent, you just won't have enough skill points to be effective with this build. Stick with meteorb / cl/orb, or pure blizzard.

Also, the casting times will be devastating."

and...

"there is 1 problem youll run into on this build and thats delay time, sense the delay times stack, youll be a sitting duck waiting for each blizzard/meteor wave to come down."

so i dunno if you guys thought about that, and if you did, did it bother you much.. im not sure but i was wondering the same thing... i though that build would be great...

I did meteo/blizz/iceblast/fireball and was real happy with it. Here's some threads about it:

Definitaly, ive made both metorb and Blizz/fireball,
For metorb, fire is supposed to be main attack, correct?
But with Blizz/fireball/ice blast/meteor, Blizz is the main attack.
I followed the guide Rachilo put up in those threads, made the sorc, and she was awesome, her Fire damage was a little lacking, but she was able to do really good dmg in 8 player hell games, with blizz as main attack,
I found that Metorb was better for pit running, but blizz/fireball was better for running in cold plains, under burial grounds, where TC is same lvl. This Blizz/fireball sorc, is not lacking in dmg at all for blizz, it is way more effecient than orb IMHO, but Orb can be more helpfull in certain other situations.

I have already started her, shes lvl 60 now and so far shes owned in norm and nm. The real test will be in hell. RIght now I have max meteor, blizz and now working on fire mast and Ice blast. People may say Im newb because of this but i dont care, her fire dmg and cold dmg are very high and has owned everything.

I'd actually like to get that guide stickied, I wouldn't mind doing a better job of explaining it and it just sounds like a fun process (never authored a guide before, just a plethora of long-winded posts).
