A couple of quick questions

[soundguy_99]

Hey guys,
After reading a few of the build guides it got me thinking about a few things.
The question between meteor vs inferno for instance.
How effective is meteor in hell Ladder vs inferno. In single player the damage stats are quite substantial vs inferno, however inferno allows you to move with it, and can last over many seconds.
Something else is someone suggested the use of shiver armor which does cold damage, although I am considering using frozen armor because of the freeze effect.
I am wondering about using glacial spike, inferno,warmth and frozen orb, as my main skills with a few points into frozen orb, and obviously fire and cold masteries.
The other thought, is how to overcome the immunities in ladder games, where we know their are plenty.
This is my first soceress so I am just interested in a few of these issues.
any thoughts is greatly apreciated,
Thanks,

use merc to kill, assuming hes good and can live

immunities? Infinity runeword.

well, you're going dual-element. that means most likely you're able to kill the majority of monsters in the game. the most recognizable superunique that's fire/cold immune is the countess. and she's pretty easy meat for the merc.

go for a strong merc (preferably act 2 with a big hurty stick). and utilise you tk/static to support him.

as for infinity, iirc, it doesn't break most cold/fire immunes.

Hey Thanks for the replies,
What about the skills though, is my thinking on the right lines.
Does my alterations to the builds make sense, or is there anything I should be aware of.
Thanks,

Inferno is a weak fire spell (bugged to deal IIRC 1/3 listed damage; also deals the damage per second which is bad to begin with), so if you are building this sorc for more than just kicks you will be disappointed.

Hey Veneteaou,
If thats the case, are you then suggesting meteor, as the main powerhouse skill?, or is their another option.
Thanks again,

In terms of most effective Fire spell, Meteor and Fireball are the two best options.

I think the best way to go, if you want to use Orb and Inferno, than use Dom's InfernOrb Sorceress Guide (it's awesome).

Uhm I'd pick Inferno over Meteor, only because Meteor takes a few seconds before it hits. BUT if you think you can cast it just at the right second or w/e than Meteor over Inferno.

@Veneteaou, did you make that up, or is that what it says?! either way its funny :D

Use meteor. Inferno is not the thing to use in hardcore at all, trust me. I've been playing hardcore for some time now and inferno never seems to work for me.
