19 skill points left on sorc

[furia]

i made my rush/find sorc with this stats/skill:

lvl 77

str for gear (60)
dex for gear (51)
vit 265
ene 35

85 stat left

20 orb
20 coldmaster
20 tele
1 static

19 skillp left


now, with maxtele i have no problem with mana during tele, but sometimes mana ends spamming orb, so i thought is ok to spend all skill points in warmt for mana rep and all stat point left in vit
or all skill point in sinergie with orb and all stat left in ene

what do you think?

I faced the same choice a while back, I just went with a balance of nova and lightning mastery.
I'll check the calc to see if 1:1 is a good balance, cause I really do not remember right now.
---=== edit ===---
ok, seems 1 mastery and the rest nova gets you the best results.
After Nova is full you can fill up your mastery further.

Mind you, my sorc already had Ice Bolt full aswell.

I'd say nova/LM would be a good idea. 1 pt chilling armour. ice bolt synergy if you have no use for the nova whatsoever. OR max tk and get a staff to prebuff ES.

Max icebolt and put the rest of ur points in vit and just eat blues. Nova isnt gonna help you in hell trav so your gonna have to bring a barb or din anyway.

Not true. With a low nova and a fair bit of static you will be able to do both hell trav and CS.

I mainly use Nova to kill off Blood Lords(which tend to be in the way at the summoner) and Oblivion Knights (when they really get my goat or sheep) and like Phool mentiones, Seis.
As for Hell Trav, yeah, that should be possible aswel, since the council are rarely cold and lightning Immune. They do tend to have a fire/cold immune on regular shifts though.

I hope you're just talking about doing this when you're rushing one person. If you attempt to rush 3 or more people at a time, you're going to get murdered in a hurry without help. And also, why in the world would you want to rush through Hell CS? :shocked:

Maxing out Ice Bolt is a good idea so you can kill monsters much faster instead of spamming 3 or 4 before things start dying.

I've never rushed more than 3 people at once on an orb nova and it more than sufficed. Rushing a single person I believe I've killed the maggot boss with 1 pt TK on a blizz sorc in hell. Certainly in nightmare. My classic sorcs have never had survival issues, 70%+/63fcr/60fhr/900+ life/maxed important resses/positive unimportant resses is just too trivial to get.

As I said above, it's a matter of whether you have the more suitable characters on lod or xpac where you rush act 3 and 4, if you rush act 4 at all. But if you simply want to kill monsters and/or be effective in CS you shouldn't be making orb, you should be making blizz.

I have a high level hammerdin and barbarian on classic, as well as lod equivalents, so I would not personally bother with nova. If I was a lod player who wanted to make the minimum number of classic chars to efficiently self rush for HFs and wasn't able to do council/meph as quickly with my lod chars, I definitely would.
