Since so much information and guides here became obsolete after ias, skills and sunder changes in D2R I have gathered some questions I have. Also, my extra chromosomes make it hard for me to search for answers.

1. is there any scenario where dual element sorc is the way to go, besides early ladder start? I guess not? But if yes, hydra/orb? nova/orb? other?
2. which is now the ideal weapon for fury wolf? Maxroll has archon staff botd, I've even seen thunder maul botd. Others?
3. same for maul bear?
4. zeal sorc or bear sorc? I guess mark of bear opens up options now, would keeping beast as primary weapon be viable in terms of ias (considering fanaticism + mark)? has anyone tried it?
5. optimal weapon setup for lightning trapsin? I guess crescent moon would get you to almost same killing speed with 3 traps/3 ls/2 os claws for a fraction of the cost?
6. in the same issue, ideal claws for lightning trapsin with BoS setup and with Fade setup?
7. I guess it's not worth it anymore to keep ancients quest for as long as possible when leveling to 99 since TZ became a thing, correct?
8. anyone planning to update guides for d2r? can we start a gofundme? or, better, an open competition with blind peer review and prize?

Thanks!
