View Full Version : Hell blizzballer -- where to put points?

My lvl 76 blizzball sorc has maxed blizz, fireball, and meteor, several points in glacial spike, and single points in the usuals (tele, static, CM, FM, prereqs). I have about 22-25 points left, and want to use this character for some MFing afterwards. I read Milady's guide and thread, but ended up confused as to whether maxing GS is preferable to adding points to CM (or FM, or both). My killing power is fine now, but I'm thinking ahead to the later acts in Hell.

[Only my second ladder character, so I'm not particularly rich -- Harleq, Oculus, and Tal's armor, but no runes past pul.]

What do you blizzball experts recommend?

When I was calculating how to max dmg for fireball...I found that putting 20 points into meteor and 1 into FM isnt as good as 15 Meteor 6 FM...of course numbers might change with +skill items and the decision to invest more than a total of 21 points between the two skills. I didnt find an optimization calc for skills. But try to find a skill calc and play around with some numbers.

CM is always a pretty good investment. But I havent finished this build for my sorc yet, so you might wanna listen to some other experts on this subject. If anything, you can add points to ice bolt or fire bolt to boost blizzard or fireball respectively.

This isnt the best build it does kind of low blizzard damage even with great gear. The fireball to say the least is weak. I would try a meteororb if i where you its much stronger and viable. Also less hastle with skill points

I'm not necessarily after the "best" build; it's a fun one, and blizzard and fireball are both killing things just fine, thank you.
