So firstly I leveled and beat the game on my javazon. And farmed some basics for a sorc since NOTHING my javazon needs is dropping lol. So did it in reverse I guess. But got a que Hagen, tarnhelm, chances, nagel, occy, spirit shield, +2 cold skill ammy. One of each sunder.

Started her tonight and made the fireball leaf like normal (or used to be. I’m reading that everyone is on Nova nowadays).

So I’m going to fireball until level 40ish and I have a few questions.

1. Is blizzard really horrible to use on console? I keep reading it is.

2. With a cold sunder at disposal (and knowledge of 1/5 cold mastery scaling) if blizzard isn’t horrible would budget building a blizzard/orb sorc be the best for all around farming to better her and my zon? Like farming “terror zones”.

3. Is voice of reason better than an occy or hoto for TZ farming?

4. If I respec to a hybrid to finish the game and farm would Frozen orb/nova be able to comfortably farm on p3? With current crap gear my Java can’t comfortably farm p3 and it’s so frustrating.

I found a vex and a pul so I could make a hoto but there’s no MF there.. I could make a flickering flame but it’s definitely more expensive than a voice of reason or a crescent moon nova sorc.

Thanks for any and all advice.

I did LK until my eyes bled lol. Respecced to blizz/orb with the cold sunder and made a doom in a double axe so only 1 point cold mastery. P3 pretty much all terror zones. P5 some. P7 tunnels and pindle. Still crap for uniques but I grinder the runes to test it. Ist’d occy feels wasted in the stash until I get skillers.

I did this - save a respec and just focus frozen orb for now with enough pts in cold mastery for -100.

Then switch back to maxing fb synergies.

This will take you through the game then respec to blizz and farm Andy meph ancient tunnels

E/ stick with occy for mf
