Starting back up

Welcome back to the addiction!

The next ladder reset is undetermined, but I'm going to assume sometime next spring/summer.

Most people play on East, though I know Kazilla plays on West.

Hammerdins are still the most played/overpowered/rusher/Mfer in the game. Blizzard/Fireball Sorcs are the most common.

Botting is OK, not the best that it's been but there are still bots available.

Maphack is currently working, check this thread: http://zelaron.com/forum/showthread.php?t=46256

Play USWest, w/e character you want to make I'll get it equiped minus serious runewords. Also, torches are available.

I attest to this, I made a USWest char and it is now chaos running and pretty good. I am remaking it though, with kazzila's help.

I think I'm just looking to build up a character or two to dick around with and bot.

USWest I can get your a hammerdin equiped to MF or BaalBot. Everything except the enigma... which you'll have to figure out a way on how to get. Or a sorc I could equip you.

So is blizzard > frozen orb nowadays? Should my build just be:

20 Ice Bolt, Ice Blast, Glacial Spike, Blizzard, Cold Mastery
1 Teleport, Static Field, Warmth

What about stat points?

Don't do anything but lightning if your going to do a sorc to actually play. There are way to many fire/ice immunes in hell for you to enjoy doing anything, a lightning sorc is capable of just about anything even with mediocre gear.

Also, fire and ice immunes have a higher resistence. So with infinity (conviction merc weapon) you can actually break most all lightning immunes of their immunity.

If you're looking to do ubers make a nice 1pt smiter. Otherwise I'd say lightsorc or hammerdin. Once you get infinity you will be gosu. Lol.
