What would be the next character to build after completing my mediocre blizz sorc?

I'm bored of running andy, meph, and pindle but I'm still too poor to afford an Enigma.

Well, it depend about what kind of build you like to play!

I like the Hurricane druid and barbarian can be nice to play as well. Still, if you want to MF, sorceress is your best bet. Maybe farm a bit each day you play to find valuable items and start another character.

After all these years, I never played assassin and I started one. There is still so much to discover

Have fun!!

Chaos runs, with any character viable and that you think is fun. Frostmaiden, if you can afford it, is my recommendation. Fun as hell. There is cold sorc, combined with high level static field if you're on budget. Static for non lightning immunes and bosses, yes only works to 50% hit points, but works very quickly to that level. So in my opinion it's worth it. Unless you can make the cold damage so high that they die very quickly.

Bowa is another .. can be made to work on slightly higher budget level. Takes a bit of skill and knowhow, but can work well on chaosruns and basically any other place in hell - if this is hardcore though, i would be more wary, it requires more skill and knowhow.

Basically think about what you think is fun... when you're having fun, you play more efficiently and can stay in it for the long haul as well.

Andy Meph and Pindle won't cut it, do more...push through all area's that drop ilvl85s including doing chaos runs start at river flame then thru diablo, do like 15-20 runs, gotta be consistent

Make a trap sin, get her 15k traps, some good life and infinity merc with hf aura, you could even get a wand with LR charges and use that against any pesky resisters. You're bored cuz you choose to be 😆 be more creative, think outside of the box..

i like to think of it like a multi stage rocket. a single stage rocket does not reach orbit but a multi does.

booster: vita bliz -> objectives getting into hell and getting warp points, clearing some cold tc85 areas like ancient tunnels and pit ect. the goal is to also clear cows in nm with minimal or no gear to find basic useful items like any base for spirit, any base for insight, lore helm, stealth is basically all you need.
stage 2: we have basic gear now and can farm cold tc 85 areas and pop super chests and run chaos. we will bootstrap our way to making an infinity by cubing Lo and sur runes to ber and getting an eth cv.
stage 3: our gear is still shit but we got a infinity. we were clearing chaos slowly without infinity but now with infinity we can clear faster. thats right, infinity is not needed but it helps with faster monster clear time and with faster clear speed we have improved safety in the run.

faster clear = more items can be found
stage 4: our mf sorc is fully geared, we moved from cold to light and we have the option since we have funding to move to a hdin (i usually stay light sorc)
stage 5: play chars, pk builds, utility chars ie uber smiters - since we have funding you can make a last wish pb and its not even a flex

hit level 99

you can stack the mf but you reduce the clear time but the cleared areas have more unqiues.

Make a barb horker. Probably the most fun char to play pvm.

It's not something i disagree with. Watching the gold belch out of the council members is hilarious. And it's fun gambling when you find that much. It's interesting to see what kind of items can spawn. Gold can be sold in trade also, 1 million per fg can be done, but most usual is 2 mill per fg.

There was one season (hc, mind), i got it going pretty good, i must have found upwards to 100 mill fg... got to sell quite a bit as well. It was fun. That must have been 10 years ago or even more ......... when there was more life on the forum.
