I think I got it for a reason. And that you could trust my tag.
But I'm not interested in convincing anyone : light sorceress are obviously good, there's no need to change your habits.
I just want AWP to have a better perspective.
Light sorc is for those people who prefer playing the game like pushing only one button to kill everything.
If someone does the math, it will be clear that FO/FB has at least the same damege potential, even bigger with proper aiming with Frozen Orb.
Just a brief example:
lvl90 char, with 102 distributed skill points, equipped with items that give +16 all skills and +1 fire skills, without any +% fire/cold/light items and an Infinity merc can do the following damages:
Lightning: 12163 avg
Chain Lightning: 4838 avg
Fire Ball: 10547 avg
Meteor: 21100 avg
Frozen Orb 517 avg for one shard, which means a perfectly positioned orb can do 8280 avg damage (releasing 16 shards).
As for Frozen Orb, you can double the above written values, given the fact that FO will always do double damage for every non-immune monsters (Cold Mastery + aura from Infinity gives -100 cold res).
So the real FO damage is 1035 avg per shard and 16560 avg for a perfect explosion.
So saying that FO/FB build is far inferior to Light build is simply retard.
