Meteorb Help
I started playing again recently, after all my characters expired. My best character used to be a Meteorb sorc, and I'm going to remake her, trying to make her better as I remember what I didn't like. Two main questions: one about stats, one about skills.
First: max block or no? I believe I tried to last time, and it didn't really work so well (shield didn't have high enough percentage). I don't have any equipment now, so I don't know what shield I'll be using. It seems like it might be better to go max vit. I was planning to do that, but I just accidentally put 5 points in dexterity. I'm a perfectionist, and it might be worth remaking the character if I don't want to go the blocking route. What do you people suggest? Max vit just seems best for mfing.
Second: Skills. Last time, I had 7 or so points in Cold Mastery, and the rest of the spare points went into Fire Bolt (not many extra). At high levels in hell, I found that I used Frozen Orb very rarely, it just wasn't effective enough. I was wishing I had more points out of Cold Mastery and into Fire Bolt to improve my main killing skills. Would it be a good idea to put only one point into Cold Mastery and let skills boost it, or do I really put in 7-8 to make it effective? Prompt replies to these questions would be much appreciated. Thanks.
