I was planning on making a sorcy for HC MFing. I was just wondering should I go chainorb or meteorb? Or is there another option I should consider?

Hm...personally I would go with Chainorb due to the damage ratio, but it is indeed a picky situation when deciding on something of this calibur.

Well personally i'd go with chainorb too, but i've never made a high level chainorb before and I heard that orb is almost useless in hell :(

I was thinking about going all light if that's the case, but I have no $$$ seeing how I just started playing again. So no infinity for me.

Orb is almost useless??? You must be joking, it's by far better for PVP than Blizzard (to aim) and with a decent setup, you laugh at every monster that isn't cold immuun :rolleyes:

Well, a lot of people choose cold attack because of monsters slowing, other prefer insane high damage of lightning.

Personally, I'd look at the skills needed to get high direct damage (cold mastery lowers resistances which is more effective than lightning mastery highering the damage itself, which will mostly be ignored by resistances anyway)
Example:
1000 damage + 5% more damage =>
1050 damage at 75% resistance = 263 damage

1000 damage + -5% resistance =>
1000 damage at 70% resistance = 300 damage


And let's face it, orb is still viable without synergies and only has 1 synergy, on contrary to cl...
