Another Meteor/Orb Question

Well here am I again, This type with a new build waiting for the sign if this is a good build

starts will be
20 FO
17 CM
20 FB
20 Meteor
10 FM
1 tele, static, warmth, and shiver armor
with these i would be around 82-90 (i dont know how many pre it has)
Iam going for FO primary and FB as secondary
Having simple gear which gives around +9 to skills (no gcs)

Would this build be viable in hell, I plan to make this a primary MFed and maybe a rusher.

If you are just using FB, then have only 1 point in FM and the rest in FBolt.

Yes your build basically follows a Meteorb variant which was first posted by Vega a long time ago. The emphasise in this build is more on the cold tree, than the fire tree. It will be a bit less balanced, but still worth playing and can certainily make it easily through Hell.

The Equipment that I would most likely use are
Um'ed Vipermagi (or Skullder)
SoJ/Raven
+2 Ammy
War Travs
Occy
Magefist
SS (or Santuary)
Gull and Splendor on switch
Caster Belt (or tgod, arach (if i can get one))
-------
DO i have enough fcr with this gear?
Should i invest in a defiance merc? and what gear is viable in hell (not rich)
How much Def should i need?

More MF doesnt seem to help during runs since my cousins ele druid with less than 100 mf is getting more and better things than my orber with 400 mf

One more question where is "the pit"

One more question where is "the pit"

Act 1. Take Outer Cloister Waypoint and teleport back into Tamoe Highlands. There you will find the entrance to "The Pit".

You are quite right about MF. Your MF plays a very minimal part in the whole equation and killing speed is always more important than your amount of mf.
