Can a Frozen Orb (main) sorceress, combined with Blizzard (second), handle a players-8 game easily?

im talking about an vita sorc with highend gear (df, nw, coh, all sks, jmod etc)

Looking for your experience, thanks and regards

CoH and JMoD mentioned, high-quality topic guaranteed.

The name seems to be fitting here. Please crawl back to where you belong.

- 3 Soc / 20 Fcr Circ ” 3 x 5/5 Cold RBF ”
- Doom -60% ECR
- Viper 35@ ” 5/5 Cold RBF ”
- 4 Soc Mona ( -30 Req base ) ” 4 x 5/5 Cold RBF ”
- TO’s
- Arach
- Silk’s / WW’s / WT’s / Rares
- Craft Amu 2sk / +15 Fcr / Res
- 2 x SoJ

There is ideal endgame Cold Sorc EQ, get Cold Sunder + Infy Merc + ~5 Cold Sk’s when you can.

1 pt Cold Mastery is ideal with high -ECR from EQ.

You are welcome.

But a 3/20 2os circ performs a bit better than that extra facet at the cost of 3 skills. (You fkn troll)

Also, there’s not really a main/secondary skill…
It’s blizzOrb… you keep casting 1 while the other is on cd.
Both combined, with all synergies maxed (and up to 4 hard points in CM at lvl 99) while you benefit more from -res from gear is what can push this build to have a pretty great clear speed on p8 compared to any other cold sorc builds.
DF will outperform doom -60 only in areas with low/no cold immunes.
Both will melt non-immunes, DF’s bonus dmg is barely noticeable against them. The only situations DF feels better is when you run cows/AT (lol) or go kill a boss without clearing anything on your way.
But doom’s flat cold pen is very noticeable against immunes, which is the only thing that will slow your clear speed.

So the answer to your question “can a cold sorc handle p8 easily?” is yes, absolutely. As long as you play it right and don’t expect to be using mostly orb… use both.

The real question is…
Should you invest heavily into this build?
It’s very expensive to build, to achieve similar clear speed you could get on a budget es nova self-wield.
If you really love cold sorc, yes.
If you are looking for a good cost/effectiveness ratio, no.

What I like about this blizzOrb build is that it falls at a spot in-between nova and fire/light sorc.
Nova is the best density destroyer, but slower against bosses.
Fire/light sorc are good at elite/boss sniping, and doing baal runs, but not optimal for density destroying.
BlizzOrb is the average of all of them combined, performing at like ~90% efficiency at everything, instead of having ups and downs.

Git gut & l2p

I will try my best, thank you for the motivation speech

thanks guys

Yes, but you also can put just 1 point in FO and it is big question, which build is better for clearing It feels like blizzard hits often when mobs are frozen. And you lose pretty much blizzard damage w/o one synergy

And there's also an option to make fo+maxed static sorc, it may be about the same clear speed as blizz+fo as i remember
