Mono tree sorc and MF

Hi there! I'm willing to make a mono-tree build (Blizzard, Chain Lightning, Orb, Meteor) for massive dmg to key run or something like that! I'm just wondering which boss I could kill with each of the 3 possible trees!
I read Blizzard and Light are good against Andy and Mephisto, But I didn't find anything about monoFire sorc (neither a build).
Any clue about Immunities, Key Finding, MF or Mono treed soso?

Thank you!

A FB sorc would have no problem killing Andy and Meph (Neither would a Blizzer or a Lightnign sorc I guess). For keys though it's probably best to go dual element in case of immunities. AFAIK Summoner and Nithalak have no immunities but but are surrounded by Fire Immunes.

And what about Baal or Chaos sanc runs? I already cut mono Fire out, so Mono Cold or Mono Light could be viable?

The Countess always seems to end up being Cold and Fire immune. She can be lightning immune too, but that combination always seems the most common (though maybe that's just because I try to run her with my Meteorb...)

The countess is always FI/CI. She's never LI, although there can spawn archer packs near her that can be LI.

The only mono-build that really can do everything (or at least most things) is a Lightning sorc with an infinity merc. Personally, for MFing I don't see the point of those though.

Well, so I think I'll end up with an Orb-Meteor... and just won't make countess ^^'

I run hell countess with my pure blizz sorc. A meteorb would be a bit quicker, just static and fireball her cold immune minions then static countess while your merc kills her.

Re: Mono tree sorc and MF

countess immunities really are of no consequence if you have a good merc.

Although I'd say pure lightning is probably gonna be the best key-runner because you can kill countess quickly, and if nihlathak ends up lightning immune you can at least clear out his minions then teleport in for your merc to kill (although make sure you have "Slain monsters rest in peace".

I run nihlathak with my blizzard sorc, i just plop blizzard on top of him and it will kill him in 2 blizz's if hes not CI. However if he is CI i cant kill him because the whole freakin room is cold imune so theres no chance that my merc will be able to kill him. So id say 1 in 5 or 6 runs i can't kill him due to immunities.
