Yeah, I only play to entertain now. Fun is most important. If/when these chars suck so much they are not fun, I'll make another woebarb, lol.
I've tried that before, but it's no fun, especially when you're in a party and others can kill faster than you.Originally Posted by Damric

so far so good on my sorc. with the gear firemarshall gave me, I am up over 105% fcr so my static works nice. In hell I still rely on party to finish off mostly, but in nightmare my low level spells do the job. I'm only 20 tk 8 orb 8 ts 8 hydra so far, with the 1 pointers. So far my best party member has been a poison nova/ce necro. Just awesome combo with static.
Just to update, I am level 70 now. I can kill reasonably in hell solo, but I can't take hits since I sacrificed resists for 105% fcr. I have 20 static, 10 ts, 15 hydra, 15 orb, 1 mastery each, teleport and energy shield.
So far the only lightning immunes that give me hard time are the really fast ones that chase you, like the rogues in act1. Other than that, I can orb/hydra any static immunes. Fire immunes are a joke with orb/static, and I still really like hydra for cold immunes.
This build would definitely not work in LoD since my damage is only a few hundred with ts/hydra/orb, but it's getting the job done in classic. I have rushed a handful of people in hell so far.
The way i see it is like this hydra takes longer to kill with imo, and since u wanna make a decent rusher i'd say speed is a pretty decent qualityif u threw those 20pts into a more effective skill like fireball or meteor, u could static and throw down a meteor and it would finish up the job.
im also use vidalas set on my zon but she is hc and she using immo and freezing arrow, however, it is to solo until hell and then my gear is changing, i may keep the set but only shines is 50 peirece imo
stormstrike is 25 peirece with 30ish lr decent mods
ichorsrting- yuck
my favouiurite doomslinger- ias, +1 skills , 35 peirce and its coolest of em all.
i am only immo i will have 100 peirce, valk, 1 freezzing arrow + cold dmg to make freeze lastr longerm, but rememebr this gal is hc so i need resists from other gear
vidalas is a kiddy set until you get to hell imo

I think that 20 in static could be sacrificed to a lower level, maybe 12-14 and then depend on a +2 sorc ammy. Then you have some spare skills to put in the elemental masteries. I was using my necro 2 days ago and some high lvl static sorc was in that cs run, either high fcr or large radius is very favorable. Oh, my necro usually uses lower resist, which alone cuts the time it takes to get to diablo in half, if there are any sorcies or zons. A high lvl static sorc is very powerful, a single CE, after she has brought the hitpoints down, is enough to wipe out the entire screen (my CE is level 20, i usually toss out pnova's to prevent any reheal while the monsters are being 'prepared').
Orb is a great backup, but for a static sorc, its mostly used to slow all monsters down 50% to keep them off the sorc, who is usually in the center of the action to afflict maximum damage. In order to do that, I heartily recommend the energy shield.
is that your necro I already see in the top ten?
I have a max CE necro and my static sorc. I so wish they could be in the game together.
Hi Damric,
Yes. What times do you play? I am usually on between 9pm and 2 am California time, with peak time of starting runs around 10-11pm. If you live in Australia or some other weird place, then that would explain why we don't match up often. I sometimes run into heavy duty static sorcies, and my lower resist makes that kind of sorc godly. Everything goes in about 5-6 seconds. What a team....
