Duriell hell kill skill

[leihotikan]

hi, i have just come back to Classic days, need some advice from somone more experienced ppl on such question:

I plan to make rushing sorc in classic, tried blizz + fireball but well, blizzard dissapointed me completely. (good for MF but rushing with this takes ages..)

Now I plan on frozen orb + ANOTHER skill for cold immunes or Duriel who has , afaik, 95 % cold res in hell? Or something like that.

My question: Should I stick with firewall + maxed mastery (isn't firewall bugged somehow?) or maybe TS + light. mastery? Which one will work the best in Hell on Andy and Duriel - (normal + NM are piece of cake, really). Now i need the answer, what will work better on Andy/Duriel in hell classic.

I can tank a bit, nice res, max block, 600+ life on lvl 54 but low mana (only about 200;( ).

If you could reply about that skill as a supoport to my cold skills, I'd would be very grateful, thx.

In Classic, Blaze + Fire Mastery would be my choice against those two act bosses.

you have cold mastery, right? Doesn't matter what cold res enemies have, as long as they're not immune. The only guaranteed cold immune who must be killed is a council member, however they're always fire immune as well. NM seis can be cold immune occasionally but it's not likely, and low regen rates before hell means even static->1 pt TK is enough to deal with him. It sounds like you're an xpac player so that should't be an issue, you only need to get them to act 3 before converting afaik for them to stay in hell, you don't need to complete it. More important is maxing tele, I use a blizz meph glitch sorc to rush atm having deleted my old orb rusher (to remake, which I never got around to) with 1 pt tele, just a single +skill and no sojs/frosties/big +mana items other than shard. I must go through about 80 greater mana pots per full rush which really slows things down.

I don't think firewall is bugged, just inferno.

Pure cold is ideal imo.

For a rush sorc, I use/recommend maxed orb/ice bolt/cold mast/warmth. I also put at least one point in static to bring down bosses quicker.

thx guys. Actually I played classic alot, now I dont play nor classic neither LoD much, you know, work, duties (i am 32 y o hehe). OK, i ll stay with maxed orb, some cold mastery, static 1 pt, and thinking bout adding to teleport as mana is real problem in classic. About second skil: probably will boost firewall + mastery, if at all.

thx anyway!

maxed orb, maxed cold mastery, 1 pt in static, 1 pt in teleport. rest distribute as you see fit.

if this is to rush on hard core, you'll probably want an Energy Shield, and some pumped mana and/or warmth to save your own skin. if it's softcore, then you really don't even need the orb synergies for just rushing all the way to hell act 3.

the only cold immune bosses that must be killed are the occasional nm seis.

even dury isn't that bad with 1 pt in static to wear her down. twitch + 30/20 priz bone shield, and good to go.

maxed orb + 13 cold mastery + maxed teleport + boosting ice bolt now to synergize orb. Hands down, Andy + Duri are dead in 10 seconds, got 800 life, 350 mana on lvl 65 and got nothing to do with rest of the skills. Probably will max ice bolt + later, if i exp more, maybe static for cow games... ok, thx, regards!
