Hey, hey hey. I knew this info for quite a while and the FO / blizz comparason has been done by me many times over. I just wanted a post that I could bookmark so that I can use this as a quick answer.

I did not realize that you all were counting on me to inform you of everything! j/k.


WELL WE ARE AAH YOU FAILED I MUST SLIT MY WRISTS NOW!!!! jk xD I also knew bout this, just never thought it needed to be said in a poll....doesn't 16 Vs 3 mean anything to ppl? btw, a godly aimed Orb should be an orgy of like 20 hits, specially if you Moat Trick Mephy...perfect range for that sucker man xD

for PvP, sure, synergize the FO. For PvM, dont do it as it will be a waste.

just out of curiosity (didnt bother to read the whole thread trough)

what do you suggest then?

not everyone wants to go for another element.. and atleast for me killing speed > anything, so even for pvm aspect i'dd max out ice bolt IF i wouldnt have an solid plan for rest of the points.

Then give it a thorough read through and then post your questions then. No point in having a 1 sided conversation.

hmm.. any chance you'dd want give me the skill lay out of your sorc? looks really intresting. been far too long since last used hydra for anything serious.

and as another question. are you useing hydra only vs cold immunes or does it have more use than a secondary attack vs cold immunes?

Ancients challenge #1 is FOHydra's challenge. This has a detailed layout of her skills and gear as of the ancients in hell. Since then she has found another cold skiller and has equipped full tals.

Hydra has many many uses besides the obvious cold immunes. Some critters have more resistance to cold than othes, not immune, and far les to fire. These critters are better taken down with hydra as opposed to FO. Ghosts/Wraiths for example. It usually takes a few FOs to take down 4 or 5 ghosts in 1 spot, usually ganging up on my merc. But 1 Hydra can shoot 1 fireball at individual ghosts and usually takes them down faster. I also use Hydra as a scout. I will place one on the edge of the screen and if it is shooting then I know there are critters near by. You can also place hydra's in rooms and close the door. The hydra will continue to fire and having the door closed is extra safety for you. When taking down bosses, baal, diablo, mephy, what will do more damage? Frozen orbs on their own, or Frozen orbs with a Hydra or 2 spitting fire? Another beautify aspect to FO/Hydra is you do not need to worry about FCR. Sure tele is slow, but who cares? I dont use Tele as a mode of transportation when questing through the game so it does not impact me. More questions, just ask.
