Hi

Yesterday i returned to Battlenet.
As always for the start i choose Sorc.
Build which i plan to use is FO/Firewall.
20 FO
20 FW
20 FMastery
20 Ice Bolt
10 Cold Mastery
1 preqs
I have no equipment right now so my question is :

Will build like that work for MF (untwinked)
Probably i will farm Meph (Hell if i manage)

Any suggestions ?? And please suggest me Merc (kind and equipment (but be reasonable please))

P.S. Please do not suggest blizzard :)

Czesc!

The build you described would be ok with twinking gear but as you are starting untwinked then a cheeze build to MF well with would be a Meteorb using the moat trick...check out the Sorceress stickies for info on the build and moat trick...

EDIT: you don't make use of a merc with the moat trick but a good merc for a Meteorb (or any) sorc would be Act 2 Nightmare Defensive Holy Freeze to keep the baddies chilled n slow so you can Fireball them

It would be easiest to start a single tree sorc for just farming meph just because you get more damage with single tree, blizzard sorc for the -res is probably the best.

Firewall > Meteor for the moat-trick.
just my humble opinion

It is indeed kolega but it dosn't have as many synergies as Meteor...Firewall was the way forward in .09 and is still good now just untwinked it won't kill as fast as Meteor...by all means go for it...bring back da Wall!! Let me know how it turns out!

Hi dymi, I think this (http://forums.diabloii.net/showthread.php?t=557123) might help.

Good luck!

It was posted somewhere that maxing Ice Bolt to enchance Frozen Orb's damage would reduce only like 3-5 casts on Meph to kill him. Not worth 20 skill points IMO.

Anyway, I'm doing a similar build, so I'll tell how it goes here as well.

20 FO
20 FW
7 Cold Mast.
20 Fire Mast.
5 Energy Shield
20 Meteor
5 Warmth

Rest are requesites.

EDIT: Forget 20 Meteor. Just realized Meteor without synergies won't pack enough punch.
