Fire and ice buiild

[kuldar_dethwind]

my first sorceress sense Ive bought the game some 4 years ago. I could use some help for a fire and ice build ..and help with state points thanks

[mathil]

look for the meteorb build in the builds thread that is stickied.

[wise_man]

A better combo then Meteorb (IMHO) is Bizzard/FireWall:

Cold:
Max Blizzard
Max Ice Blast
~15 Cold Mastery

Fire:
Max FireWall
~10 Fire Mastery

1 in usual skills: Teleport, Warmth, StaticField.
1 in preq.

finished at level 83, and from there you can pump Masteries even more.

[wise_man]

A comment regarding attribute-points: If you choose vitality over max-block, try to have 75 dex (with gear) for using WizardSpike.
It is very helpfull while teleporting.

the build looks cool, but how does the damage fan out in hell at 84?

Firewall is good in Hell even with just 1pt FM and some +skills. No damage problem for Blizzard with that setup.

[wise_man]

I am very pleased with both Cold and Fire damage I have at 84.

Of course, more is better, but sometimes lvling gets tiring.
I say try it. If you see you want more damage you have at least 6 more levels of lvling to pump up the mastery of your choice.

I have a meteor-orb and a hydra sorc now. I was thinking hydra to start again, but I think I'll try this build for the reset for a change of pace. :lol:

Do cold charms increase freeze time like they do for the amazon freezing arrow skill? If so having 8 small cold charms in inventory would give even level 1 Glacial Spike a 2 sec freeze time in hell for added crowd control. This could be pretty useful especially before you get decent gear for your merc.

I like defiance mercs but maybe I'll try HF with this build to slow CIs down for the firewall. If he doesn't survive well I'll fire him and level up an act1 norm defiance merc instead.

[lennd721]

cool build wise_man.. i'll probably be trying this with the new ladder reset, as I'll need a mf sorc.

[-[$]tea|th-]

I like... it is like oppisite of the meteorb sorc. Instead of having the non-synergy skill in cold it is in fire. Now the trick will be making a successful Firewall/Orb Sorc where you only max masteries... =)

Wizard, cold charms only affect your weapon.
