I'm making a 'LiteOrb' sorc...don't know if that's a real name but its basically a meteorb with lite tree replacing the fire tree.

So my question is (like the firebolt vs mastery question for the meteorb) where do you think my remaining skill points are better spent? Here's what I've got so far:
20 Orb
1 Cold Mastery
20 Lightning
10 Chain Lightning
5 Lite Mastery
1 Charged Bolt
+ obvious skills & prereqs

Assuming I max Chain, is it better to go with the mastery or with charged bolt. Or is it better to max charged bolt instead of chain lightning. Can you kill bosses quick with charged bolt the same way a Zon does with ?charged strike?

I'm just not sure how I should split my points on those three skills...any thoughts or suggestions??? Thanks in advance

I personally think you should raise CM a bit as your orb damage is going to be quite bad, but equally if you raise CM then your Lightning damage suffers. I made one of these myself but wasn't happy with the semi-twinked damage output. Light Mastery over CB, Charged Bolt is significantly weaker than Charged Strike. Lightning can drop a boss fast.

I'd raise CL, Light Mastery, and put more points in CM with remaining points in CB. IF you have enough heh.
