Blizz Sorc HELP

[Warax]

hi im making a blizz sorc for mf ( i got all equip for ) and my friend say to make a meteorb but i love blizz and i think its one of the best sorc spell . So i want to know how to build a blizz sorc that will be able to deal with cold imute

[melianor]

All you will need to deal with cold immune monsters is a decent Mercenary.
Act 5 Barbarians or Act 2 Mecernaries will do. When choosing Act2 Mercenary the most common choices are Defiance Aura, Holy Freeze and Might Aura.

Might Aura might be suited best for your build, since those Mercenaries can deal alot of damage. Get a Reapers Toll, Schaftstop or Duriels shell (for example) and a helmet with lifeleech (Crown of Thieves, Vampire Gaze) for the Act 2 Merc and a decent 2 handed weapon for the Act5 Merc, that has high damage and life-leech of possible.

Help your Merc by using Telekinesis and Static Field to stun monsters and drain their health with Static Field.

Even if you build a pure Blizzard sorc you should have Static Field, Telekinesis and Teleport in your spells.

Otherwise you just follow the usual route of a Blizz-Sorc:

max these spells:
20pts Blizzard, 20pts Cold Mastery, 20pts Iceblast, 20pts Glacial Spike, and rest of the pts into Icebolt. 1pt Warmth, 1pt Static Field, 1pt Telekinesis, 1pt Teleport.

ok thx so a merc act 2 or 5 will do the job in hell too?but if i dont have that equipment but i have other good gear like venom ward and etc will it be ok?

[PsychoticEwok1]

venom ward is *NOT* good equipment.

you NEED to equip your mercenary well (VERY well) in order for him to be effective. if you are not a "rich" diablo 2 player, and cant even get a shaftstop, vamp gaze, and decent polearm (i use eth hone sundan with 3 amn, an inexpensive choice. duriels shell is also cheap. so is crown of theives.)
you should simply make a PURE blizz sorc and do pindleskin (the unique monster in hell through the red portal in act 5) runs till they come out your ears. you should find some decent items for your sorceress and mercenary.

ok thx but i have just try a lv 99 socr in hell on single and i got some difficulty i was using a act 5 merc and some **** gear so is there strategy for that mf sorc that i want to build on bnet ? wich merc is the best in hell? for equip i got blade of alibaba an other stuff like that that will do the job but for armor what should i use ???

[Soth]

hehe
Blade of Alibaba is NOT good weapon for your merc

Im using 2act Might merc with reapers toll, gaze and duriels (still nothing better, no shaftstop :( and it is OK
My pure blizz sorc is now 87 lvl and im only doing Pindle runs (for LvLing and MF)

Gull is better if you do not have Ist runes to socket the Ali Baba.
