Fire/Light

[Hellsmith]

Hey all,

Well after about 4 years of not playing diablo, im back. I am want to make a fire/light sorc for MF. Can someone link me a complete guide that is up to date? Thanks in advance!

There is no complete guide for a Fire/Lightning sorceress simply for the fact that both trees rely on synergies and masteries to be effective. Your best luck would be trying one with FW/L/CL and masteries, but thats about it.

Fireball, Meteor and Hydra need synergies to be more effective. The same goes for Charged Bolt, Lightning and Chain Lightning.

Agreed, for an effective lightning sorc you need to be pure lightning. Fire and Cold can get away with going dual tree but not a Lightning sorc. Although if you MUST have a fire/lightning sorc there is always the dual dream fire sorc with a lvl 30 holy shock and maxed lightning mastery.

If you want to make one, then use whole Tal set. That -15 fire resist helps a lot in fire side so only weak ball is needed.

I have build couple using Tal set, and those work just fine. I like it more than Orb-Lightning as this is maybe little weaker, but much more aggressive as both are spamming spells.
I put around 70 points in L-tree and around 30 in fire tree.
Something like this
20 CB
20 L
20 CL
5 Lightning mastery
10 firebolt
20 Fireball
1 Fire Mastery (set gives, but you might need it earlier)
1 static, telekines, teleport and warmth

Nice and aggressive build for 1-3 players games. Needs lots of mana.

About 2.5k ball (with -15% fire resist) kills nicely those souls etc... mainly as backup skill. You can make it even weaker if its just backup skill.
About 11k lightning and 5k CL, good enough for low player settings.

Anni+Torch and 1-2 skillers is good to have for this kind of hydrid. Little too weak if just Tal set. And spirit shield, as every +skills helps a lot.
