Skills on MF Sorc?

This may be a kind of repeatadly kind of question, but I've just started an MF sorc. My main skills will be put on cold, secondary fire. Is this skills that follows, a good choice? In order:

1 Static Field
1 Warmth
20 Frozen Orb
20 Cold Mastery
20 Fire Bolt
20 Fire Ball
The rest Ice Bolt

The reason i want to put so muck skills on fire, is so that I can - without to high chance of dying - MF in places where there are differnt kinds of immunes. Like Baal and his minions or The Pit for instance. I've herad this should be good places to MF. Isn't it? And I choose Fire Ball, because it seems like a more convenient method, compared to Metheor.

I don't really no what my gear will be yet, but thats probem number two. By the way, when poeple talk about MF sorces, they never mension Gull Dagger, which I think is rather good, since you don't need the dex, and it has an nice 100% MF regardess whatever level your in.

Thanks for every comment // timpan2k

You also need:
1 Telekinesis
1 Teleport
1+ Fire Mastery (the ideal point spread depends on your +skills, I use http://stud4.tuwien.ac.at/~e9325732/skillcalc)
1 Frozen or Shiver Armor (optional)
Dual-Trees rarely have the points to spare for Ice Bolt. Try checking the stickies for Vega's guide.

A Gull dagger is a fine switch weapon; it's what I use too.

Pair up that gull with a rhyme/4ist shield and youve got yourself a ton more mf on the switch, looks good to me.

Yea, I will check som other threads first, kind of lazy of me to start a new threads. But thanks anyways

Honestly, if you want an mfing cold/fire bulid try using the meteorb build found in the pits guide. You could also use the CL/FO or the pure blizzard with the merc build. I highly suggest CTA on switch to greatly increase your life and mana and the +1 skill levels on Battle Command should help a lot more than Pure Mf.

 

[timpan2k]

In what way could CTA help me? Not more than 30 MF, compared to Gull for instance. And I think that Fire Ball shoud be better, since this - as Meteor - too hurts a large group of monsters, and doesn't take as much time as Meteror. Am I very wrong?

Hmm, CL/FO may be nice, I will take a clooser look at that.

fireball and meteor synergise each other I believe, so that wouldn't be much of a problem, just get 20 meteor instead of the firebolt. meteor combined with fireball works really well on bosses. Also I must say that fireball takes lots more mana / dmg when compared to meteor, so when using fireball I run out of mana very frequently

I've thoguht some things over, and I'm still a bit confused. I now lvl 50 and have 53 skills to put out. I think i will go with FB/FO but I'm not 100% sure. Btw, why do people preffer Blizzard before FO?
A may even change from FB to CL.

Hmm, I thought a littler more , and came to this: Couldn't it be, that Bliz is better for maxblock sorcs? Why? Because a blizz have much longer duration, which makes it "ok" to be hit by monsters, since if you get stunned (with stunned i mean time it takes for you to block), you still have an attack going on and you dont have to wait to cast another orb. Especially if you meet melee monsters. Once they've hit you, and you don't have an orb up, they very likely to hit you again, and again, and again, since you don't have the time to cast another orb and kill them. If this make sence, also the meteor would be the skill to go for with a maxblock sorc.

God damn it, I have to decide now

I find that if I can tank a melee monster, then the occasional block doesn't matter with FO. If I can't tank it, then I start moving and shooting and FO works far better for me there.
