I'm making a cold sorc for hardcore ladder. She's going to "solo" with only one other character (who will be a bowzon if it matters). I've seen so many people going blizzard. Is the only reason for this the synergies? Should I go blizzard or orb? What supporting skills are good? I plan on having only cold besides one in static and *maybe* one in warmth.

Orb i say, i play hardcore and orb has done great things to me. Yes i solo myself and dont go to public games in nightmare or hell mode. Shes been great so far. You should go thunder storm as well coz in hell it'll help.
I am not sure what you should do Bob, but I can tell you from experience that the combo or orb and thunderstorm sucks in hell. Orb just doesn't do enough damage, so you will have a hard time killing anything. I seen blizzard sorc do good in hell, so that might be a better build.
Doesnt do enough dmg are you kidding me arse. This is soloing with 2 ppl, monsters arent too hard in hell with 2 peeps. But i guess you are planning on only going cold so that means orb and blizzard.
Either Orb or blizzard. If I go orb though, I can go tstorm as well, as I'll only have to max frost bolt, orb, and cold mastery. I can still to tstorm and lit mastery. If I go bliz, however, I'll have to max 5 cold skills (bliz, mastery, and 3 synergies).

What i would do, max blizz and synergies, put one or more after u max everything out into orb, w/ all ur +skills it will do decent dmg but when u have a big boss like baal or meph, blizz kills in no time.
I only suggested orb and ts coz i solo 'bymyself' so in hell its hard to kill cold immunes so i go ts. Your soloing with a friend who is an amazon that will do physical dmg and can tank for you somehow. So probably blizzard will do coz it does do more dmg but i dont like the way it works, enemies running out of blizzard. I like hit and run with orb.
