Broke sorc.

None then LOL

Fireball orb. Best combo. Fireball from afar and orb when you need to.

His summons are Immune to Cold in Hell mode, so Frozen Orb and Blizzard are definitely out of the question.
I voted Fire (Fireball, Firewall, Meteor - any of these 3 can work here). Also fire sorc is definitely easier to gear than lite sorc.

Sorry, thought I read pindleskin

Sorceress is always weak against poison anywhere in hell and extremely weak in act 5. So, do you think she can stay alive against corpse explosion, one of the strongest cast ever ? Even the strongest warriors can die easily against corpse explosion if they don't do life tap.

You're going to get but raped by Nihlatahk with a sorc, do not run a sorc for him.

Buffed out sorcs get f*cked so I highly doubt a broke one can effectively run it.

You're better off spending time in Pits or Ancient Tunnels along with Shenk, Eldritch, and Pindle.

Fire Ball/meteor + Frozen Orb + static + telekinesis. Holy Freeze merc.
Some DR and DR%, max resist, smart/short/"wall way" teleports. Range casts, move minions/regular mobs out of nihla. Smart play == Be alive.
Bo barb.

SMRIP in item (lawbringer / nature peace).

Poison not a problem, just get 75% resists and some PSN reduce% or just potions.

The plan is not tanking those CE...

Clear the mob then a couple of hit and runs on Nihl

you'd do well to maximize your fire res the most u can, some sorb may even be a good option. MF doesnt matter if you're running Nihl only for keys.

Some good options i'd consider:

String dr%/mdr will improve your tankiness

Gaze, also has DR%/mdr

Sallet: dr%/vit/res

Hotspurs/Infernostrides/Waterwalks, 15%inc/10%inc/5%inc fire res respectively

Ironpelt, sounds stupid, 25life/pdr20/mdr16, only 61 str req

Dwarf star, 15%fire res / 15mdr / 40 life

Rising Sun ammy, will also make running travs a breeze for longer game timers, +2 fire skills if u roll meteor/fb/fwall

nature's peace, nn any of the corpse explode gear, hard if not impossible to get early ladder.


That's all assuming you're rolling this just to key hunt while prices are stupid high in the first few weeks of ladder. after that a sorc loses it's effectiveness once all builds can get a nature's peace. the maps are highly predictable to even a tele ammy chat can run these effectively especially a vigor/charge pally with tele to skip walls when need be.

On vita build DR% is good, on ES it's far less effective, DR integer is extremely effective on ES builds. I wouldn't suggest an ES build tho.
