best sorc setup

what is the best sorc skills to use vs. hell meph? fire wall? orb?

this is the pvp section not pvm

The best skill for Meph hell for a sorceress is Orb along with Cold Mastery and also Static. She runs around too much for firewall. Nova is nice, but if you have a strong powered orb attack, you should be able to kill easily.

punk dadeo, please get a different sig,

orb and static, don't use nova for mf'ing unless your'e doing cows or act 5

Read the flame forum apog.

Frozen orb is really the best skill 2 use

static+orb quickest way to kill meph

Firewall/Meteor + moat trick + MH scrolling is safest...hehe.

i don't support using gay hacks >.<

i don't much mf anymore either : /


the moat trick is only if your character is really weak : )

and it takes more time than its worth considering you have the council to deal with

The councils won't attack you if you don't attack them and not/have not been within their melee range. (Won't even cost hydra)
But that can only been done with map hack since you need to know where to teleport to without consulting with them~

I haven't mf for months now...

orb/static/nova is fastest way 5 secs and hes dead

FW is a great skill 4 killing meph too , of course combo with static.

nova is horrible at meph : /

i know...static and orb is best imo

I'd either FW/Meteor/Static or Orb/Static.
Orb is more exciting tho~

is Cold Mastery still good if you have orb lvl 24 on your sorc????

Why would it NOT be good?

Cold Mastery lowers your opponent's Cold resist. (Errm something like that.)
If you play strictly Cow games, Cold Mastery won't do you any good.
However, it is nice to have Cold Mastery vs Meph:
Meph resist in Hell
Fire - 50%
Cold - 25%
Ligh - 50%
Pois - 50%

Hehe, not a whole lot but it will help.

Cold Mastery is essential for PvP tho, if you use any cold skill as your attack.

I am sorry but most of you guys (if not all) are all wrong. the perfect combo against hell meph is:

Frozen Orb(10pts.), Cold Mastery(maxed), Thunder Storm(maxed), Lightning Mastery(maxed), Static Field(1pts.).

Best Def is:
Mana Shield(1pts.), Shiver Armor(1pts.), Warmth(4pts.) A Rhymed Luna Shield(runeword), Lightning/Ice Resist, Life/Mana and Armor Def Charms.

The reason why you only put in 1pts. to those other skills is cause you need Occulus, Harleyquinn Shako and tals armor/skullders ire and anything that will add skill points to all. they will beef them up to eight points at least. If you get two occyrings as well they can be bumped up to 14pts. each and 18pts. to your warmths.

My char has this sort of set up for hell mephbotting and the death rate of meph vs. you is 150/0 on average. only on odd days does he ever kill me. Just remember to only put your char points like this:

str:100(nothing more over 100)
dex: (no points added)
vit:maxed (do this last)
enr:100-150 (plus charms and armor bonuses)

I swear this set up kicks butt.

Bleah, I've typed a few paragraphs and the comp froze. ><''
I'll...try and type them again.

Ok, basically it is this:
Comparing base 20 TS/LM, 10 FO/1 CM and 20 FO/1 CM

34 TS/LM:
1905-2446

24 FO/15 CM
318-323

VS Hell Meph (26850 HP, 50% LR, 25% CR)
TS does 952-1223
FO does 254-258, 256 avg.

34 FO/15 CM:
458-463

366-370. 368 avg vs Meph.

However, FO dmg is per shard. Vs a boss monster like Meph, most of the times 6-16 shards (10 shard avg) will hit.

So the actual different bewteen the two FO is:
2560 and 3680.

Orb is totally worth maxing if a sorc is doing Meph run.

(And that's a lot shorter than what I've originally typed ><'')

By the way, most Meph MF sorcs have less than 100 energy.
