i think you'll have an awesome Orb attack and a rather pithy lightning attack.

try this:
max: orb, chain-lit + 2x lit synergies
1pt: tele, cold-mastery
spares to Lit Mastery.

this will give you a hell-viable Orb and decent lightning.

warmth and static charge are 1-point wonders.

20 ice mastery

Too much. IIRC the magic number is 17?

10 warmth


Also too much. It looks like you are going to be using orb as one of your main spells, it's timed ... You should be fine with one point and plus skills.

With this hybrid why not 20 lite instead of 20 chain lite?

Why so many hard points in static? Really your build should depend on your projected end game gear, that way you will know how many hard points to put into these types of skills.

I think we all need more info on the build before we can advise. Such as stat pts, skill pts and what gear you are planning on using. (also SC vs HC)

If you have never played before check the stickies in the sorc forum for many viable sorc builds.

The *magic number* is 1 :tongue:

Seriously: check PhatTrumpets guide for planning your synergies/light mastery

Yeah, 1 point each in Warmth, Cold Mastery and Static is enough. You will get so much +skills gear and charms later that these will work very well... which is why this is called "one-point wonders". :laugh:

I have no experience with lightning/frost builds so I cant make any other advice (I love my fire/frost build though). I would however reccomend you to decide which tree will be your main attack, lightning or frost. The other should be a backup and in many cases your merc will sort out the differences.
