Hey I want to get back into original D2 because I want a change from LoD

Do people go Nova/Orb, Hydra/Orb, Meteor/orb, Blizzard, Fireball/orb?

I mean for playing a sorc as a dedicated character in classic, not a rusher. So I want to be able to solo chaos sanctuary

pure blizzard is crap, De Seis is immune in cold
nova seems quite weak on paper since you have no way of lowering enemy resist
fireball is not to great since fcr is hard to get in classic
meteor/orb seems fairly slow against groups of cold immunes

so i guess hydra/orb seems like the best chance (still fairly slow though?), but havent played it myself (only run a crush sorc)

nova/orb isn't that bad i feel, nova should do around 900-1k and with static i don't think it would be that bad

If you must solo cs Orb hydra is The way to go but I wouldn’t recommend solo cs runs as sorc
