not over 9000

jeah jeah i know - but since everyone is calling it TC85...

and its the only such area you can do with a fire only Sorc (wich i like more than the dual-one because you don't need sweet-spot hunting and its more powerful with less equip)


btw. gz @ 9k

1 Element sorceress is not viable at all in Hell, short of Lightning /Infinity sorceress. Even a fire sorceress with Infinity will have a harder time than MeteOrb with no mercenary, for example.

why?

Andy, Mep, Eldtrich, Shenk, Pindel, Mausoleum, Summoner, Countess all no problem, even Nihla is ok (2-3 FB standing next to him and the merc does the rest in 3 hits if he is fire immun)

there are only 2 things a fire only sorc can't do on the MF-List of the guide -> Travi and CS
ok, the 2 are very good areas but as i said fire only is mainly better if you have less equip and with less equip you wouldn't do Travi and CS anyway on behalve of the merc

Neither can you perform Baal runs W1 / W5, nor any other place properly where every second mob is an FI (Including Ancient Tunnels, Pit, etc).
Check the Bestiary for FI mob population. Nearly every spawning location has a few.

Haven't played in a very long time, and when i did i never played a lightning sorc - always stuck to orb.
Been itching to come back and play this game for some reason....I have a couple questions:
( btw always played on hcl )
Why no max block? I always thought it was a necessity
With all the negative resists you're pumping out - does this make the lightning immunes killable?
I see some people using infinity on the sorc instead of merc, is this better than eschutas/spirit? ( I'm assuming these people are on scl )
How does a fully geared light sorc fair vs 8 player chaos or baal? Compared to hdin/java?
With little DR - this sorc seems pretty fragile. Is this setup pretty viable for hcl?

MB is actually a crippling feature in Softcore, where possible death is not an endgame result. It will also be harder to achieve FCR requirements, enough HP and resistances while maintaining a high amount of damage whilst in MB.
For MB references, see my guide in the sorceress stickies.

-Only Conviction/Lower Resist may break immunities, but even as broken, those former immunities still hone a great deal of resistance (8x%-9x%) and thus -%ELR translates to much more damage than +% or +Skill damage.

-Self wielding Infinity holds more damage, but is considered less safe. It's all preference. You do gain -55% ELR from holding it yourself.

-Greatly faster than an Hdin, and faster than a Javazon when FCR and travel are taken into overall comparison (Javazons strike harder and kill faster, but teleport much slower).

HC requires a high amount of %DR and MB indeed. Refer to my guide.

i can't seem to find your sorceress guide, point me in the right direction! also, thanks for your timely reply
