If you have any more to add or point out, please do so. Also here is the place to discuss alternatives or other builds that you might consider worthwhile to start off the new ladder with.

Probably the images are not served anymore, sorry. Just stay as far away from the moat as you can, so that you still see a tiny little bit from Mephisto. Then you should be able to reach him with your timered spells.

Can someone recommend me a nice Orb MF sorc? I am planing to do ancient runs with it and i have the feeling that a orb sorc will clear the tunnels faster than a blizzard sorc. Or am i wrong?

These are builds for a new ladder and you left out an Enchantress?
lol, i know, i know it's not really a viable build for soloing and wealth building, but it's crazy useful as a pure support character.

Well, if you always play with melee-char buddies, enchantress is one way to go. Can you believe that my comp went kaput on actual reset day??? I'm just starting this season. M sick of Hdins. Probably gonna go with Meteorb. Just find the in-game graphics for a powerful spell like Blizzard too lame for my tastes..

When it all boils down...For a person who wants to build an MF sorc...

Meteorb vs pure blizzard vs (any other builds) = ????



Another question lightning sorcs no good?

it comes down to what you want to mf exactly.

for andy/meph/pindle blizz is probly the best bet
for eldritch shenk pindle, fire meteorb lightning can do it

blizz/meteorb can do diablo and baal albiet with a little static/TK grinding for cold immunes, lightning also can

fire sorcs can run all keys

imho.. Lightning sorcs are the best (fastest killer) rivaling a hammerdin (faster in 1player games for sure.. seeing as w/ hammers you have to aim) when you get her fully geared (it's expensive though!).
