For another character!!

I've been playing my Skellimancer only lately, and finally got him up to lvl
84 or 85, so its time for a change. I'm trying to decide between 3 or 4
characters, so here goes

1. Blizzard/Meteor Sorc - I'll have at LEAST +5 skills, so here what I was
thinking for this one:
20 Blizzard
15 Cold Mastery
20 Meteor
20 Firebolt
20 Fire Mastery
Now I now I'll never play her long enough to get all those max, but you get
the general idea

2. Lightning/Cold Sorc
20 FO
1 CM
20 CL
20 Nova
10 Lightning
20 Lightning Mastery

3. Trapper
20 Lightning Sentry
20 Shockweb
1 Death Sentry
20 Fireblast
20 Shadow Master
1 BoS/Fade/MB
Or I could possibly go with 1pt in SM and 20 in WoI

or something.

So, whatcha think?

Pure Blizzard sorc is more fun.

Short, for the trapper, only do 18 in shock web, all that it will do
for your synergies is add extra shots at 1 per 3 levels.

Trappers are fun.

Not really an issue until you get to hell mode. Then, with a good merc
and a high level SF, things proceed apace.

Ahh, good point! I was leaning toward the trapper anyway, just because I
hadn't played one in a loooooong time. So that's what it will be

I've made some changes now, and with no +skills (and I'm sure I could
scrounge up a few).........

20 Lightning Sentry = 3-1142
1 Death Sentry = 3-1040
17 Fireblast = 370-516
20 Wake of Inferno = 1021-1190
1 Shadow Master - more here when traps are done, possibly
1 Shockweb
1 BoS/Fade/MB

I decided to invest in Death Sentry instead of Shockweb, since DS is a
synergy for pretty much everything except Fade.......
And it looks like I have to go through all of my accounts again to see what
Assassin stuff I've got laying around. I'm pretty sure I've got some +Traps
and +Shadow stuff getting dusty.


short - I can only play the same char for so long...ya know?

I'm currently playing my first trapper assassin and she's in the mid-
seventies in hell right now and doing fine with the following:

level with + skills [points in the skill]

Lightning Sentry: 28 [20] 5-3079
Charged Bolt Sentry: 28 [20] 10 times 9 bolts 3-452 per bolt
Death Sentry: 13 [5] 7.3 Yards, 3-598 damage shoots 9 times
Shock Web 20 [12] adds a bolts to Charged Bolt Sentry, never cast it.
Fire Blast 21 [13] and on its way to 15 before I dump some points in
Death Sentry to give it more range. 585-769 damage, will be 763-977 when
I start pumping Death Sentry up to about 10-12.

1 in all shadow skills except fade or venom.

She's using just stuff I found or bought, nothing incredible, +2 traps
claws, +2 Traps Amulet, +1 all skills armor and lore helm for +1 again.

I gave her merc an Insight partizan and with it I can put traps
everywhere and throw firebombs and never need to drink a blue.

Great fun and very easy gameplay. When I run accross LIs I just set 5
Death Sentries and Fire Blast away until I get a corpse. Then its quick
work again.

Though I've been absent from here a long time, it's good to see your
posts again Mickey.

Almost did a Blizzard sorc -probably will next char. Build
suggestions if I want the sorc to be able to play anywhere in the
game?

Other than a vipermagi, gear will most likely be what the sorc finds.

Must be. I usually wait 3-4 weeks before ribbing him about it, though,

Oh, he's not retired at all

He's just been promoted to magic find duties and levelling, so that is
secondary to the new characters All he needs to be complete is a
Skullders or Wealth, I guess


short - Heh, I'll prolly find a Skulders before I get around to making
Wealth!

I'd go with a frozen orb/fireball combo then. That is a build that can
survive without the best of equipment.

Question:

Has anyone actually tried max Shockweb (with synergies)? I mean it looks
cool and all, but will it kill anything at all in Hell???

How is such a build called? Super ball sorc?

Mine has it maxed but has never really tried to use it in particular
to kill with. If shockweb can hurt em, may as well use lightning
sentry I'd always thought. I would keep throwing em out as something
to do while the lightning sentries do their stuff, but can't recall
them making things that much quicker.

My my, doesn't Gabriele Neukam <Gabriele.Spamfighter.Neukam@t-online.de> look
good in that trenchcoat:

It's a good choice, although I suppose "ladder reset flagship MF build"
doesn't have much of a ring to it, but this, or a metorb build, seems to be
what a lot of people go for. I always seem to go for a javazon first, because
I haven't fully shaken off my "zon guy" roots, although I'm planning on
starting with a sorceress when the ladder resets (if it ever does).

That's one way of putting it.

That will work.

Some points in Fbolt and a point in FM.

MOST IMPORTANT: Do not forget your most powerfull skill, that being SF.
This skill should be attended to with any build of sorc, even an
enchantress.

With a decent SF, the merc will usually kill those few that are both CI
and FI.

Yes, namely Mephisto. With a sorc, you can bypass the time consuming
effort of dealing with Bremm and his cohorts, and simply teleport
directly to mephisto. Let your merc walk up to him while you SF him
down to half life, and then 2 or 3 orbs will finish the job. If you can
memorize the maps on level 2, you can do these runs in around 20-30
seconds.

I was trying it a bit in Act 3 Normal this morning. At lvl 2, it didn't
seem to do much at all, even with a whole carpet of them. The flayers would
run through them and have at most 1/4 of their HP's gone. I'm glad I wasted
a point in WoI, its been my killing skill of choice for the faster moving
critters. Fireblast doesn't work well when they keep running back and forth
all over the place. I did still use FB on those big tree guys though, and
it helped against the council members.
