Welcome to the OrbSorc Vitabuild Guide by Z3phSkill Points DistributionMax these skills in order:Frozen Orb/Cold Mastery Ice Bolt Warmth Get one point into each of these:Static Field Energy Shield Shiver Armor Pre-requisites Heres what goes through my mind before I assign my points:My strategy here is to aim for the "power 3" skills. These are the skils that are relatively overpowered with only 1 point, and should be used as soon as they become available. They are frost nova, lightning, and blizzard. When I start playing, the first thing i do is put a point into ice bolt and charged bolt. At level 6, I make sure to get frost nova, and static field. Using frost nova, I can clear fields of fallen ones, and leveling is a snap. At level 12, I be sure to get lightning. It is very useful for the cramped areas of Act 2, and has decent damage. At level 24, I get Blizzard, and it is very good for dealing high amounts of damage with low cooldown timer. By level 30, I have all my pre-requisites and secondary spells [static field, energy shield, shiver armor], and about 10 extra skill points not used. As I level beyond 30,I put 1 point into frozen orb, and 1 point into cold mastery per level, and when I run out of sparepoints, I alternate until both skills are maxed. Then I max frozen bolt, because it provides extra damage to the cold orb. Finally I max out warmth. If I get to the point where I still have extra points, I would place them in shiver armor. Why am I using this skill?Energy Shield: Use this as a buffer to negate the damage Mephisto deals to you. When you are at low life, activate this to prevent getting killed, or cast this beforehand to reduce HP damage. Warmth: This allows the sorceress to fire orbs at Mephisto even while energy shield is draining mana. Static Field: The sorceress should be able to teleport up to Mephisto/Andariel and static him/her down to the middle of the “H” in Mephisto’s name [or the second "A" in Andy's name] on his/her HP bar. Teleport: You need this skill… well… to teleport Ice shield: This skill really helps if Mephisto or Andariel is using physical attacks while the sorceress is using static field at close range. |
