what sorc to build?

The goal is to be able to run chaos sanctuary, the pit, mephisto, and the countess without having immunity problems. So, obviously a singe tree sorc is not gonna work. Tell me what you think is the strongest build would be for these situations. Consider that there will be +10 skills.

If you forget the pit and do tunnels instead, you will run into less immunity problems. No cold immunes in tunnels, which means orb simply shreds there.

I'd go with CL/L + FO. Max Lightning, Chain Lightning, Lightning Mastery, Frozen Orb, 1 in static, Tele, Warmth, Cold Mastery and prerequisites. I think that's about 91 points there (lv80). If you get higher than lv80 dump the rest in Cold Mastery or Charged Bolt.

The reason being that the Chaos Sanctuary is so full of fire immunes, and Countess is I think Fire/Cold immune. In Durance 3 you'll probably find that usually at least one council member is Lightning/Cold immune, but it's easy enough to just lure them to the stairs and tele past the nearby wall or something.

so with this orb/ CL build, will my lightning skills be strong enough to do these places solo? also, i assume many more pts in cold mastery would help my orb a great deal?

I would go Orb/chainlightning with a firewall leaf staff on the switch that way you have a tri elemental that is fairly strong on non CI/LI's.

you can handle anything in the game with that combination and the only really hard immunities will be the CI/LI which I don't think there are too many of.

leaf staff with +3 firewall, +3 fire mastery will give you 1000 damage on your fire wall with +4 skill on your other equipment. you should have that in your equipment with no problems as a dual tree build.

Overall I'm going to go with the Meteorb sorc. Well rounded, effective in almost every situation. Mine has rarely encountered a situation where she was rendered useless.

Those rare situations usually came in the form of an Ice/Fire Immune Lister. Bastard.

If you skip the countess part - I'd say go for blizzard sorc. No problem whatsoever in chaos sanct - few mages and merc takes care of them. Mephisto? Couldn't be easier. Pit? Just go lost city.
