Not being a orb + fireball sorc is the first thing you should do

Without infinity, go full blizz.

respec to full blizzard, use static and a well-geared merc to deal with immunes. your gear is fine, your dmg and mf is good enough and no, your helm not being socked isn't much of an issue.

orb + fb is great early on in the ladder but once you have decent gear and a merc that can output dmg, blizzard will just be better.

if you still want to play orb + fb and just want the best possible build, then here it is:

shako/nw
eni
hoto/df
spirit
arach
magefist
wts/aldurs/rares
mara
sojs/one fcr ring if df

merc:
infy/eth reaper
forti
andy/guillaume if using reaper

you'll probably be able to run most if not all tzones, but generally at a much slower pace than meta builds like hammer, java, blizz, lightning and nova
