Best HC MF sorc build?

Blizz or ES-ORB?

And a question about the es sorc- do you max block with this build, or just leave it alone? I need a safe hell mephisto popper.

Hands down most efficient sorc for untwinked cheap getting-to-meph only: TK/es/Orb, max block, decent fcr, pts into teleport and a slow/decrep weapon on a defiance merc (i.e. kelpie snare/Reaper's toll).

 

[Disque]

if you can teleport without losing all your mana max block is useless.

 

[TheDarkSide]

Im partial to the MeteOrb'er myself ...

103 FCR - max Orb , 17 Cold Mastery after skills , Max meteor , max Fireball , maxx Fire mastery ....

Act2 Nm Defensive merc - big insight stick

Run Hell Meph over and over , get rich and , pwn all the Stoopid *** Dooping punks that infest Bnet !!


:wink3:

Well... thanks for the ideas. Right now, a friend of mine is making a sorc specifically to teleport my assassin into the durance, so it doesn't matter to much what I build.
I have a blizz sorc right now, I like her, but I was mainly concerned if the es-orb thing actually *works* well. I've heard from some that it does, and some that it's totally crap.
Either way, that's what my friend decided to build, so I guess I will know soon enough

Uhhhh... what?

 

[Disque]

Uhhhh... what?

If you don't get hit, you don't need to block..the end.

 

[PhatTrumpet]

If you don't get hit, you also don't need to put a single point in vitality, or max out your resists, or get a Merc...

You know what else is useless? Hardcore gameplay advice that's prefaced by, "If you don't get hit."

Yeah, I'd agree with that. Because you're going to get hit eventually.
Especially a porter sorc. I've played these things a lot. And they... get hit... like everything else..

Max block is for tanking meph's cold ball, lag spikes, general safety, and getting from 1-75 alive.

Edit: Sorry, didn't notice you'd already been pwned by PhatTrumpet, rendering my post unnecessary.

 

[Disque]

have they fixed block lock?

 

[MoUsE_WiZ]

In 1.10.
However FBR is still required, instead of getting locked in the animation you will now just not block if you don't have FBR.

I suppose not playing for a couple years will do that to a person, thanks to all the people who so kindly put that in here for me, instead of blowing it out of proportion and screaming nubcake.
