Safest place in Hell for a pure lightning sorc to lvl up?

Hey guys,

Dusted off my lvl 77 pure lightning Sorc to do some MFing with NM Mephisto. Found a few nice uniques and decide to take her all the way through Hell. She has no end game gear but what gear she does have is semi-decent. Just wondering which is the "safest" area to lvl up a lightning Sorc? Any area's with no lightning immunes?

Cheers

There are no lightning immune areas as far as I know. I leveled my sorc with Pindle, started at lvl82 or 83, then increased players setting as she got more powerful. Otherwise ... Don't know... Hell Mephisto for gear and xp? The Pits could be also done for xp; I remember I run there before decided to mat her (and that was way before i made Infinity).

Pindleskin is probably the fastest way if you can get your damage high enough. At P8 he can get you up to 95 with some patience. If you want to go beyond that, your looking at CS, Baal, or Nihlly.

And you're also looking at making an Infinity to really make a significant dent with any of those three targets.

phar, one could always make infi in some crap base to avoid killing in case of serious nihla running light sorc ;)

on topic: +1 to what they said about pindle. Should be doable with even medicore gear. Get your merc sturdy enough. /p settings as high as you feel comfortable. Shenk and Eldritch are also quite easy place to level up. At least exp should be reasonable until 90 something

I was thinking more along the lines of viper clouds. The next delay makes them safe to stand in solo but with only one other minion in that same cloud you'll be hit every other frame. Tele into invisicloud = dead or close to it. Delirium on merc would work well though if that were the case...
Oh, I see.

If you have max light resist, I would run the ancient tunnels skipping the horror mages. Might be annoying at times, but they don't run up and hit you so they are avoidable. You just might have to avoid useful boss packs at times.

Pindle is indeed a good way to level up a caster. They are quite weak in health and easily beatable even on p8. Though you have to be very careful since a single charge sometimes can kill you.

Personally, I don't find Baal a hard place to level up. If you have a good map to teleport fast through WK, it shouldn't be a problem. No lighting immures on his minions and you can adjust the Players Settings on each wave as you prefer.
