Blizz sorc vs Hell Travi - equip help

[Old_Man_Winter]

Hi,

Unless I'm mistaken, Travinal council members aren't cold immune in hell.

I'm thinking of making a Blizz sorc (never made one) to run them.
Because I'm looking for Pgs, socketables and charms I want to keep my mf to a minimum.

I'm mostly concerned about helm, weapon, armor, shield.
The best non mf stuff for Blizz would be:

Death's fathom,
Nightwings
Ormus +3 blizz

This does alot of dmg, but I'm a little worried about lacking in the +res/life area, since council members are quite 'ard. Would I survive?

dwarfstar & maybe rising sun should take care of hydra
I don't know what their red lightning attack is? Is it lightning type?

Finally, is monarch spirit worth it?

Thanks for info.

the str for monarch spirit is worth it. other than that you are looking at 97 str for nightwing, so that is 59 more str. if that was vit it would be 59*2=118 life. totally worth it (res, fcr, skills, mana...)

as for the immunities, i know atleast one boss is always cold immune. one group is always lightning. i can't remember too much else, my mercs infinity blurs the immunities. the sorc also uses tgods and dwarf on top of 85 light res and 75 fire res (uses 6 single res sc's to finish it off).

i would have to suggest a dual element sorc. immunities are a pain to deal with and i know atleast one boss will be immune so your depending on your merc to kill him.

It's Toorc Icefist.

heres my setup, has no problem with trav and such.

armor - up'd 35 resist magi um'd (50 resists)
weapon - fathom
helm - nw
belt - arach
boots - rare tri resist boots
shield - spirit
ammy - maras
ring - 2x fcr 15+ str rings w/ dual resists

spirit is definately worth it for the str required for it. i have always liked a up'd viper over a 15% bliz ormus for its resists as bliz does decent dmg already. if going ormus, it maybe better pvp wise for the dmg, pvm i like viper better. fathom also comes with dual resists up to 40 which is pretty good.

Cool thanks for input guys.

Ok spirit. I tried the viper on singleplayer and I like it better too.

I tend to find 2 cold immune councils most of the time there.

No there is only one cold imune. Councils are easy with blizzard sorc. Relatively 4-5 blizzards will kill all and the last cold imune will kill merc (eth Insight + Uped Duriel + Andy Face). I kill them with typical MF gear.

Why make a sorc for travincal anyway? The waypoint is exactly next to the council,a typical non-enigma hammerdin,or a melee char (zeal,fury,frenzy) can run them in seconds.

I kill them with typical MF gear.It depends on the spawn. I find 2 cold immunes often enough. Anyways, I find that it is better running them with my IK barb anyways. I can honk their bodies afterwards.
