I think I'll go for this :) the hours don't sound too bad, I can grind it out. Are there any good starter guides? Like early items to farm, things to keep, build etc.
It's probably around here somewhere on the forums, I just don't know where to look.
Pretty much everyone goes fire through norm, until they hit lvl 25 or 31 and can respec to whatever they want to do. Leaf is pretty strong early game, though I just load up a ton of tir runes in sockets and get +10 mana after kill to not worry about blue pots.
You farm norm countess for runes for a couple "Stealth", "Leaf" if you want it, and I usually get enough to cube up for an "Ancient's Pledge" shield as well
Once you hit NM you farm countess for runes and equipment to make "Spirit" sword, "Rhyme" shield, "Insight" for the merc, then start popping Andy to try and get Vipermagi, SoJ, etc. First real MF targets are NM Meph, Shenk/Pindle/Eldritch. You can get up to Lem rune in NM LK superchests.
From there you grind it out. Blizz sorcs can run Hell Ancient Tunnels and Mausoleum all day long for godlies and HRs, and Hell LK has no native cold immunes.
Until you get stuff like "Infinity" I'd either go Blizz or Meteorb build.
