Need an idea for my Inferno sorc

[Lyxtwing]

When 1.10 came out I made myself an inferno sorc that I found really fun, but stopped playing when I changed over to ladder. The plan was:
20 Inferno
20 warmth
20 FM
20 bliz
1 FA
what's left CM
Level 7 (after items, no points placed in) in TS as I had an orb with the skill on it (found very useful as it could be left on while I was casting inferno).

It was really fun though I never tested it on hell. I am going to make a new one on ladder but I was thinking of changing a few things.
Options:
1. Use frozen orb instead of bliz.
2. Use TS instead of bliz.

I know I am going to keep inferno as my main skill, but my secondary is where I am running into a problem.

Also:
1. Is it worth adding a point into enchant for party/merc use?
2. I plan on getting teleport with this version as I didn't with my last one.

Any input on flaws or other ideas?

Thanks,
Lyxtwing

The major flaw in the plan is in 1.10, Inferno is bugged to do only 28% of listed dmg. If for example your char screen says 100 dmg/sec, the actual dmg is 28/sec... Good try though ;)

Dear god, are they going to fix that?

No idea, but until they do Inferno sorces are almost impossible. 28% is really not a lot :uhhuh:

Not sure about whether the data here about inferno damage is correct, but what I can say is that an inferno sorc is *certainly* doable, at least through act 5 nm... I made one untwinked early on in 1.10, and she rocked.

Unfortunately, without block (she used Leaf), she wasn't destined to last too long in hardcore... an extra fast boss pack of vipers in the worldstone did her in at lvl 68. I think her inferno topped out at level 30, which is easily beatable with reasonable gear.

skunk, it's true, it counts for inferno, arctic blast, and Wake of Inferno. You just can't kill ANYTHING in hell with it.

I could see the effects in normal. At first I thought it was the extra long cast animation, but when I heard about the bug I realized that things like burning dead archers just weren't taking much damage.

but anway to address your questions:
-I'm not sure i would use enchant even tho I'm big on utility skills whenever possible, I would just say that is up to you.
-orb definitely better than blizz, it has a huge area of effect and a decent chill time, and in general just a more effective skill with fewer points (i.e. unsynergized)
-I do not think TS would be real effective in this situation
-teleport is usually a good thing
