I need words of encouragment, motivation and inspiration!!

HF will be better choise I think.

Holy Freeze doesn't slow down (or apply its radial cold damage to) Act bosses.

@ Drystan... Haha love the vid just what I needed! Ok ive been playing D2 for almost 10 years and yes I've never played a pure blizzard sorc... lesson sorley learnt last night!

Yeah blizzard is pretty hardcore but its a bugger to aim! I guess this is something that takes a little practice?

 

[Korlic]

Blizz is best when you use the moat trick IMO. If you can catch Meph in the top of your screen going back and forth in a small area, blizz will be most effective.

 

[Drystan]

It can't really be aimed, apart from just targeting - it works better on mobs, but on single target, there are times it will miss a lot. Moving targets tend to get hit more often than stationary ones. It is a little random though, so may take a little time to adjust to the small randomnness of it. Either way, good luck finding your IK Detail, and hope you enjoy your Blizzy!

Yes my mistake, I should have mention it wasn't for mephisto runs but as a merc type for sorc (at least for me).

I told you it was easier than the Soul Cage. Congrats!

Now just add the angelic combo and a ravenfrost and you are gravy. Also shael up that club and dump some Ruby jewels in the other gear slots for extra badness.

 

[Conanbarbarian]

I'm going the concentrate IK so will I still need the angelic combo? Was holding out for a highlords but that is likely to be some time away. Will defo be using the raven frost got 2 of those bad boys! When you say shael up the club is that in both slots?

As for jewels only got my hands on some rusty's so far although I have a few helms to play with

Here are ias breakpoints, so you decide for which one will you go.

54% - 14 frames attack
75% - 13 frames attack
109% - 12 frames attack

Weapon itself has 40% and 25% you get on gloves, that is 65%. You can put 2x shael into weapon and use Highlords wrath, that will give you 109% breakpoint on ias. Also you don't have to use shaels, also can use 15 ias jewels with other mods that way. Without Highlords, 2x shael into weapon and 15 ias jewel into hat for 109% brakpoint. Or 2x 15 ias jewels into weapon and 15 ias jewel into hat for total of 110% ias. Don't know how much attack rating will you have, but Highlords Wrath will boost your damage a lot and also grants skill, 20 ias and 35 lite ress on top of that. Don't know are Angelic worth it. If you can get 6k+ attack rating from other parts of equipment, go for Highlords definitely.

 

[NoisemakerArrow]

AR can be gotten from charms, while IAS and DS can't.

 

[japanzaman]

Highlord's is definitely the better option, but I wasn't sure if he had that item, as it can be quite difficult to find solo. If you don't have highlords, the Angelic Combo will serve you well.

 

[Conanbarbarian]

Good god even without a shield this conc barb is as hard as nails! Only come close to death once so far... Once I've got the whole IK set rolling I'll be unstoppable!

Kill speed aint the greatest mind you!
