Hell Fire Sorc Question

[turnips]

I just started fooling around in hell with my fire sorc (fireball/meteor) and her brand new wizardspike (thanks to christor). Anyway, I was wondering if any experienced fire sorc users knew of places with minimal fire immunes where I can MF and level? I'm already aware of the Mauseleum, and I run Andariel with ease...but I'm having troubles finding places that aren't at least half fire immune. Note: A place that has drops like The Pit or the Ancient Tunnels would be awesome, if someone is aware of such a beast!

Come on matt, do baal runs with me!

I could be remembering incorrectly, but I think the maggot lair levels have very few fire immunes (mostly lightning/poison, right?)... can someone confirm? And of course, level 3 is one of the area level 85 places :D

I beleive Ancient Tunnels are Light and poison immune but there may be a few FIs also, but I run it with my Blizz sorc so FIs wouldnt stick to my mind if they are there, but i know those mage skellies and mummies are LI and PI.........now that I think of it I think the Infidals are FI in there and CI outside of it.

River of Flame is a high TC area, but the random spawn is all that can tell you what is immune. I beleive at any time it can spawn any immune in the river. Just start a run, kill until you find FIs and if there are some go to another location in that game and try the river the next game u make. CS is FI loaded so dont bother......

I forget what is in Ancients way and Crystalline and Frozen River, but all of Act 5 can drop well.

Also seems like the area after pindle......name is not coming to me.....may not have a lot of FIs.

Sorry I am not more helpfull, but I just dont normally play Fire loaded builds.

Maggot Lair should definately be one of your main feeding grounds. Hell Andy runs are nice too. The zombies and fallen are FI, but Andy drops fast to fire and those pesky "lightning ball shooting guys that my zons and trappers hate" drop really fast.

I think the Secret Cow Level is where you should go!

Those would be the Halls of Anguish / Pain / Vaught

LMAO.......Stay out of the last lvl and its not too bad, if you run into Viper it is probably best to leave as a boss Viper can be a one hit killer and from long range especially if you have poor poison rez.

I have completed Nithlak Quest on abotu 60% of my season 1 and 2 characters, it is definetly a tuff area in the last lvl. I have seen a number of ppl go down or give up in there.

Buddy of mines lvl 77 Barb died to one shot from a Viper boss off screen, in order to loot him I had to kill the Vipers as the first item grab i got hit and damn near died. Took me a while but I got it done. Had to loot a buddies Zon trying to kill Pindle. Pindle was CI, and since his zon got charged and knocked back closer to the door all the CIs outside were up and coming. Cost me 12 juvs to loot him since my Blizz sorc only has 8 free squares and I had no BO. i set a TP inside the Halls I beleive, teled from red, snagged and item, hit the stairs and hit the tp dropped item and did it again......took a while. My friends get looted.......one way or another....stupid part was if I would of stopped to think I could of brought my Barb into the game, but this guy has a habit of dropping from games occasionally so I was trying to get his gear fast.

BTW, iirc in Hell most creatures down here are LI's - I've nvr brought my old light-trapper down there or my current lf zon....

[STINGER]

I beleive they arent mostly LI as my Sin is what i was runnig when the Barb bit it to the Vipers. Nithlaks minions arent CI either as Cold works in there, so they must be FI.......I dont think anything but the vipers are PI (poison) but the flying wenches are PI (physical).

Well.....looks lik eman yFIS on last lvl, but i just dont recall what the other two lvls are most of the time. Hell, so many new things can spawn there its a toss of a coin I guess. Flayers, fallen, mages........hell its a fun place to go IMO!!!

I stil think Baal runs need to be turned into a Gauntlet, many many more lvls, impossible to take anyones TP into

That's been one of the things on my mind as well:

Fix the act 3 council bug, add 2 more areas to act 4 and make Worldstonekeep like the den of evil. You can only enter next level if you have cleared the level you are on. And you need to be with the party from the start. No TP's work :)
