Help me with my lightning sorceress
I am making a Lightning Key runner sorceress. I want to be able to run all three key runners (But If this lightning sorc isn't good for the summoner, I have a blizz sorc that will work well for that).
I was planning on making charged bolt as her main attack skill, but I am seeing that charged bolt may not be good enough. I tried running the countess with her at lvl 73 and got smoked. Now granted, I didn't have merc, my gear kind of sucked (I had only +7 to lightning skill), but I died within 3 secs of teleporing into the countess room.
Right now, I am at Level 83. I have the following skills:
20 Charged Bolt
20 Lightning
20 Lightning Mastery
1 warmth
1 in other lighting pre-reqs
For sure, I think I can get +11 for +skills (+1 armor, +2 spirit shield, +3 light ammy, +2 headgear, and I have either an occy or a +2 eschuta)
I have about 25 or so skill points unused. I am thinking of one of these directions:
1) Max out Chain Lightning and go Lightning based only. Chain Lightning would be my main skill. This should be fine for Countess. I think this would be fine for Nil. Not too many light res monsters right by Nil, right? Does Nil ever spawn Light res?
2) Max out Frozen Orb and put the rest of my points in Cold Mastery. This won't help against the Countess, so I would have to use Charged Bolt or Lightning. Advantage here of being a dual ele sorc is kind of nice.
So what should I do? Can I run The Countess and Nil with a strictly Lightning based sorc?
Thanks
