Coming back to the game.
The below gears and build at lvl88, what do you guys think is ok to run T&H key and chaos without LOD or renew sunder?

Shako
Spirit sword and shield
Tal amy
Viper um'd
Trang glove
Trang belt
Aldur boot
Dwarf / fcr ring
Crappy anni

To build a blizzard/lightning hybrid put enough points in CM to get -100%, max blizzard and ice blast, then put the rest of your points into lightning tree. Nova is usually the best bet.

With your plus 10 skills at level 92 you get a 1400/2400 ice blast/blizz and a 1700 min nova.

Less efficient than single element but if you need to run keys+chaos to keep involved then its an option.

5 fewer points in CM

Split points evenly between static and LM

I've never used frozen armor

No need for points in CB, L, CL if you are going nova

I lvl'd my sorc to 87 last night with below gears with the build I made.
It was okay to solo T&H key and chaos run. Will test more when price goes down.

Lore
10fcr amy
Viper
35fcr spirit cs & mon
Frostburn
Nagle & fcr ring
Random shoes
Tal belt
Crappy anni

Merc is doing 1.8k dmg, is okay to kill those immunes if not too many. Lighting is helping a bit to speed up.
Random hat
Guardian Angel

Don’t listen to anyone here, mixing trees is fine.

I played an orb wall sorceress using full tal set and it was totally fine kill speed on P1 online and helped me magic find and gear up other characters.

Firewall absolutely melts bosses and orb was good at killing trash mobs.

Mixed tree is fine, but you have to choose skills that dont require all the synergies to be effective.

Lightning and blizzard both need a lot of synergy skills.

Frozen orb, nova, hydra, firewall do not need as many synergies
