yah but 1 in cold mastery, wouldnt that be a lot because i will have lots of + skills

you want ATLEAST 20 cold mastery, for orb to get it's full potential.

That's a good idea though, to save points.

5 in cold mast, 20 orb, 20 bolt, about 15~ prereqs, 20 lit, x chain lit, 20 mastery.

That's 100 right there.

If you got all the skill quests, you would be only a lvl 88. :D

I was wrong, i forgot about 'x chain lit' for synergy, so its actualy more like 120 -.-

I know Firewall can't keep up with lightning, it was just a quick, easy Fire option. Some people don't know what to do with lightning if it's not Thunder Storm or Nova. ;)

I kinda liked Firewall a little. It still holds a special place in my heart as a reminder of my first l33t character. :)

mephisto have 50%resist to fire and 25%resist to cold on hell,with cold mastery you get easy -125% cold resist,so you will make mephisto 12k cold dmg if you have 6k blizzard and you will make mephisto only 8k fire dmg if you have 16k meteor
MFG

cool, thx for the information because i remember i did awesome damage to him when i had orb but i was wondering is like each ice bolt that frozen orb shoots 300 something damage?

i hope i understand right^^

orb made in 1.09 about 400 dmg with each ice bolt and now in 1.10 about 1k so it makes 2k dmg on monster(if ypu have enogh -coldresist) and it hits very very much monster also a very good attak :)

oo ok, i got it, whats the max -cold resist u can get?

the max i reached was -250cold resist from cold mastery(i think you can got so much you will,you need only skills :) ),but if you take in all items facets-cold resist:
cold mastery at lvl :41-43 (-220%cold resist ---- -230%cold resist)
-weapon:doom (2 skills to all) can have -60 cold resist or Death's Fathom (3 skills) can have +30%cold dmg socked with facet +5%cold dmg -5%cold resist
-helm:harle (2 skills) or Nightwing's Veil (2 skills and can have +15%cold dmg) socked with cold facet +5%cold dmg and -5%resist
-armor:ormus can have +20%cold dmg socked with facet +5%cold dmg -5%cold resist
-rings:2xsoj (2 skills)
-belt:spiderweb (1 skill)
-amu:amu with 3 cold skills (3 skills :P)
-shield:lidless (1 skill) socked with facet +5%cold dmg -5%cold resist or 4socked shield with 4 fackets +20%cold dmg -20%cold resist
-charms:10 cold skiller (10 skills :P)
its not a guid because you need for pvp something for antifroozen , i write this only that you can see what its possible :)
-charm:anni (1 skill)
with adding all you can get
-cold resist:245-320
+cold dmg:55-100

i hope i could help you with this,because its half a guide :P and i hope too that i don´t do mistakes :(

ok, then should i max out cold mastery, since they changed the bug where it stops increasing the -cold resist?, also i need some shako and another maras plz, how cheap can i get those for on ladder?

i would max cold mastery!
shako and maras on ladder aren´t cheap :(

I went with thunderstorm to go along with orb and it is working out pretty good so far, doing nm baal runs right now and i have no trouble at lvl 65 with orb and thunderstorm maxed and cold mastery at 10 and th mastery at 5 i think

he wants only ice sorc :)

dude bliz owns i could shaughter lv 60s 70s and 80s at lv 45

Must you start every post wiht "dude" :p.

What kind of characters were yuou killing? They must have been melee, i dont think a lvl 80 sorc can lose to a lvl 45...uinless the lvl 80 is an uber newber.

i have maxed ice bolt, orb, and mastery, i was thinking about maxing charged bolt lighting mastery and then lighting to the most i can, good idea? do u think i need to put in mana shield?

one skill is not bad,but don´t take skills on light,i don´t makes really so much dmg and eat very very much mana

ok so, if i stick with cold, ill max out blizzard and glacial spike first then try to put rest in ice blast or what order should i put it in

take first all skills you need 1 time,than max blizzard--->cold mastery --->Glacial Spike--->Ice Blast--->Ice Bolt
i would make it so,but you attak with blizzard so it´s not a problem if you max a skill after an other one...^^
