Just the question asked in the title... i think it lightning. BTW can u link a guide? thx!
Pure light w/ Infinity merc.
I have a Fire sorc w/ infinity and she still can't do baal - well maybe she could if I upp'd her specs (fire skillers, Sojs), but then I'd be wasting my runes.
Pure light works great with infinity, I tried looking at some here, but I can't recall if they links are still alive - if they are, look into the sticky.
Chain lighting and Lighting.
Using gear like:
Griffs Eye
Enigma (MF +skills etc)
Eschuta's Temper, (+3skills/20% Ldmg)
Magefist/Trangs/Frost Burns/Chance Guards
War travs
SOJS, Nagel rings
Spirit Monarch
Crafted ammy, maybe maras?
Merc: Infinity
The point is to get your L dmg as high as possible so with the broken immunities you can tear through the mobs. I think L sorc is capable of 30-40K on average, but with loads of light skillers a bit more. The price to pay is well, the price. It's an expensive build.
Which merc is the best? btw does infinity break immune?
skills?

Pure lightning is a nice way to be able to kill anything in the game, assuming you have infinity on your merc. However it can be fairly expensive as you must have infinity and should also have griffons and some lightning facets. Another less expensive way to go is a Blizzballer or Meteorb (both are cold/fire) wearing full Tal Rasha's set. There are plenty of guides around but here's a couple you can try.

As for which mercenary to use, act 2 mercs are the most popular. There's plenty of debate over which one to use though. I've tried pretty much all of them and any of these four seem to work well.
holy freeze (nightmare/defense)
defiance (normal/defense)
might (nightmare/offense)
prayer (normal/combat)
By the way a merc with an infinity works quite well with either of these setups too.
To answer your question, yes infinity can break immunes with it's conviction aura. Lightning is the easiest to break, cold is the hardest. There's a LOT of information on this topic, a google search should yield plenty. Be aware though that the decrease in enemies' lightning resistance that infinity provides will NOT increase the Sorceress' damage if it's on your mercenary.

the a lightning guide it would be helpfull my friend, im twinked, luckily
For just Fire, although off topic.
I do:
Andy, countess, mousoleum, Duriel, Kurast Chests, Kurast temples, Meph, Eldrich (sometimes FI), shenk (sometimes FI), Pindle and Nith.
Fire sorc, full tals can do well. I do miss out in D and Baal runs though, which is quite a bit.
11k Fire Orb damage w/ no skillers or sojs.
Pure light is fun as all get out, but it's tough to build properly(it's very gear dependent)
At lvl 90 my sorc does 31k light dmg after I buff with CTA, 29 pre buff I think.
My gear:
Shako (griffons is ideal here, but shako works too)
chains of honor
maras ammy
spirit monarch
eschutas +3 skills
magefists
war travelers
Arachnid mesh
1 Soj and 1 bul kathos
Swith:
Cta flail
spirit monarch
On merc:
Infinity
You should also aim for a storch, anni, and some skill GCs...also gheeds if you need mf.
This sorc runs everything well, but as I found out the hard way is EXTREMELY dependent on the infinity for merc. I was moving mine around when comp froze...I lost the infinity, and my sorc is useless in hell now, even with my high dmg.
If you're tweaked that well and have infinity what are you MFing for other builds? If you do have it for fast Baal runs Meteblizz and Blova are both fast runners. Even with just an insight merc they are fast Baal runners. A pure lightning sorc is a major mana hog so you better factor that into your build too.Originally Posted by Phroximus

D!That's why I MF.
After doing a couple full grails I got tired of MF for the sake of just doing it. I have more fun and it's more of a challenge to do guardians un-tweaked. For me the rush of having to use technique with weaker skills is the challenge. I'm not saying weaker builds just not all dressed out in the top gear. A 5 year old can spam overpowered skills and MF. I might low level tweak to get to nightmare but then enjoy the adrenalin rush of close calls killing stuff nearly dying. To each their own I guess. Every so often I'll do a sept of guardians in SP and treat it like a new ladder. Then I might farm some with a character to tweak the others. Have fun I know I have over the years. I've been playing since a week after classic hit the streets and Diablo & Hellfire before that.
First round is on me!
D!
