have since found a broad sword with four sockets, though haven't made a spirit yet since I have a badass orb with +2 cold and +1 blizzard, light and poison resist with 20fcr and broad swords are max ugly
got to inner cloister and should have s/e'd but instead went afk for a day or so. at some point the game crashed and I had to start back from jail wp, but I just teleported through and killed what attacked me. was really close so ended up getting a level at some point there.
skilled 1 into firewall for use against cold immunes. it's extremely weak with 1pnt in that and mastery on p8; though if I max it before hell it should be dealing over 2k
without fully digesting firewall mechanics, it appears that meteor is a higher damage skill, at least the screen damage is higher.
any experts in the area have some opinions? against size2 and size3 targets
