Best Hybrid Sorc - Blizzard Sector

**shadowphoenix** · 12-09-2004, 03:44 PM

I did a search already for this and there was to much to wade through, so sorry if this was answered already.
I wanna make a orb/something hybrid. I've read a couple other people opinions and they say things like "Don't max the orb synergy cause its only 2% per lvl" or "Only 10 into mastry and synergy each, max orb."
I already have a bunch of fire sorc skill charms, and thought they would be useful for a orb build with either hydra or meteor, or firewall as a backup. Some other people say nova, chainlightning, and thunderstorm.
Any ideas/info would be great.

well do you want to make the sorc a PvM or PvP, for PvM, orb/blizz is a deadly combination

**ken2520** · 12-09-2004, 04:11 PM

id got with orb/thunder storm. U max orb, orbs synergies, thunderstorm and lightnign mas.

or u can use metor/orb maxing synergies of orb and orb 10 in cold mas, max metor and fire mas remaining should go to fireball or inferno for the metor dmg fter it lands

I had a orb thunderstorm, She Kicked tail, i think you should make that type.

**shadowphoenix** · 12-09-2004, 05:19 PM

i saw one with chain lightning and orb that looked good, neone ever try that type?
and would firewall be a better coice cause its quicker that meteor? i tried the meteorb in hero editer and the spell timers where annoying.

or should i try a thunderstorm/meteor or thunderstorm/fireball build? the extra points from having one less skill (3skills for orb, 2 for thunderstorm) i could make the fire tree stronger. And i could always give my merc a doom weap for slow them down. casting thunderstorm then goin around with fireball and/or meteor would be sick. guess i'll have to play around in hero editor.

i have a fully syng fire sorc with 1 point into orb mastery and 1 into orb, mostly just for pvm, anyway the mastery goes to lvl 15 or so same with orb, and gets rid of those annoying fire immunes

**Fuggle** · 12-09-2004, 07:39 PM

Hybrids kind of suck in general. UNless of course you know the real build and this takes awhile on hero editors to find.

**shadowphoenix** · 12-09-2004, 10:05 PM

i plan on spending a whole lotta time in the hero editor. if i come up with nething worthwile, i'll post the build. the only problem i have with the hero editor is the gear. is there a place i can go to download gear to import into the editor? it is just too damn annoying to make each and every single piece. and can neone recommend a decent hero editor. i can't remember the one i use but its annoying as hell.

prolly gonna go for a light/fire sorc with a holly freeze merc. all the elements.. should be interesting to try

**Foog** · 12-09-2004, 11:22 PM

yeah we have the whole items thing at http://www.d2sector.net/downloads/pa...=category&id=7
and you can import those items into zonfire...sound good? i like the idea of the bi-elementalist with the hf merc...that's interesting, hope it goes well. lemme know.
