blizzard or orb?

[templeofnogwa]

My main attack will be fireball I want to either go blizzball or meteorb. How does blizzard do if I don't max at least one of its synergies? Due to what I have already committed into the fire tree, I'll only be able to put 10+ into ice bolt or glacial spike if I were to try out blizzard. I'll have +12 all skills and +4 to fire. This is what I've done so far:
20 fball
20 meteor
6 fmastery
10 fbolt
1 enchant(and prereqs)
1 static
1 teleport(+ prereqs)
Should I proceed with 20 frozen orb and 5 into cmastery(and maybe some into icebolt) or will blizzard do well-enough with 20 blizzard and 10 or so into a synergy? I've never used blizzard on any sorceress I've made, so I just want to be certain I don't go for it this time and find out it doesn't cut it.
(note: this is pvm, and not to be limited on what areas I can run)
Much appreciated.

If you only have a few points to put into blizzard I would go meteorb. That seems to suit your style with the main fire attack. The secondary tree is just there to help your merc after you have used static field.

Thanks for your opinion. That's what I thought, but I wanted to see if anyone had any other experiences that differed from the typical blizzballer. I'll stick with orb.
