Blizzard/Fire Wall = "FireBlizz" or "BlizzFire" is the nickname for this build
Note: This build uses the Glacial spike alot for Freezing Opponents, this will help your merc help kill mass and also allow you to target immune cold with fire wall. Tal Set is the main requirements for this build for the skills/mf/Resistences.
MF Notes: I tend to Ist my Tals, Orb, armor and helm, but basically standard Ptopaz the armor and helm and ist the weapon.

Items:
Tal Set (if no tal set then: Skulders Ire [pref eth], occy, mf ammy, goldwrap, ali baba) - note your resis will suck if no tal set
Travs (or mf boots)
Spirit (Rhyme for mf)
1xNagels (mf ring or dwarf star)
1xRavens (basically do not get frozen)
Chance Guards.

Switch:
Call to Arms
Spirit

Inventory: (*Edited)
Torch
Anni
Fire skill gc (I use 3, but not needed)
Cold skill gc (no need)
Light skill gc (no need)

Skills: (Do not need any Energy Shield or Frozen Armor type skills.)

Cold;
20 Blizz (Standard for mass killing anything not immune cold)
20 Cold Mastery (Basic synergy)
20 Glacial Spike (Synergy and the fact that it freezes mass monsters that are not immune cold)
Pre-Requisites

Fire;
20 Fire Wall (very helpful when mf'ing immune Cold areas that are good to mf where pure cold cannot do)
1 Warmth (standard for mana revive)
1 initial point into fire mastery at lvl 30, then max this out last (standard)
Pre-Requisites

Lightning;
1 Static (for main bosses and very good to use vs immune Fire/Cold and let merc kill)
1 Teleport (Pretty standard)
Pre-Requisites

Merc:
(At lvl 40 hire him, lvl him up in Pvte games when you are 75+! this way he will have better stats all round)
Act 2 Nightmare Defensive Aura
Reapers Toll (life steal and slow em more)
Vamp gaze or ral'd Andys visage (life Steal, dr and other good mods)
Skulders Ire (cheap item, if you can afford it buy or make ebugged Stone or ebugged Fort)

Attribute Points:
Str: If using Spirit Monarch enough after other str mods from items (about 90 base)
Dex: (who cares about blocking for pvm)
Vita: (rest)
Energy: (only if you do not want to pot mana)

Belt Setup:
1) Super Healing
2) Super Mana
3) Full Juvs
4) Full Juvs

Hotkeys: (all hotkeys are set to the right mouse button, reverse for lefthand setup)

Glacial Spike is hardset to the left mouse button (not hotkeyed)
F1 Static
F2 Teleport
F3 Fire Wall
F4 Blizzard

F5 Battle Command (from cta)
F6 Battle Orders (from cta)
F7 Your Choice
F8 Town Portals

Here is a general note when doing nithalok with this build:
tele near group, walk away from merc so that he draws in the monsters, now target Nithalok, and fire wall him, if he is immune to Fire, then Blizzard him, if he is immune to Both, draw monsters out one way by tele'ing merc with you, kill them and approach from the other side and tele in, static and let the merc slaughter him.

I don't really like it. What's your blizz/fire wall dmg?

Geez, how about you make one and find out???, When mfing your dmg does not have to be GIGANTIC.
Basically 2-3k blizz (more than sufficient) and 5-9k fire Wall dmg using Torch, anni, 3x Fire gc.


In private mf run games, you do not need extremely massive damage, this build is for all round mfing the entire game without getting raped.
Example: This build kills, Andy, meph, duriel, baal, Diablo, chaos, pit, shenk, eldritch, ancient tunnels, cows and can static Uber Bosses without dying which helps smiter, kicksin, hammerdin & barbs in those areas (noted she can not kill by herself, but she holds her own).

nice guide m8

I made this and it actually works

thanks izParagonzi

Nice to hear and ty for the post

Bumping for some useful opinions about this build please, thank you for your time.

free bump

this is a basic mf build for begining of ladder bascially:)

Pretty much, but it is also an effective Key hunting sorc.
She is built for the entire game, from start all the way through to hunt for those items that you need
to build other chars, like hammerdin, smiter, BvC's and so on.


and Thank you
