Yeah firesorcs are not very good for soloing in hell, though they do obliterate anything thats not immune hehe. Though like he said above, a Hammeredin would be the best for solo hell. Though there are other builds that can do solo hell fine just not usualy as fast.

Good luck trying to use a merc for killing all the immunes though. For my firesorc I tried using an act 2 holy freeze merc and even after he was at lvl 85 he died way to often. He was using 08Gaze, Shaft and Bonehew (socketed with hel so he could use it).

To completely get through hell you are goint to have to have some help.

No. Hybrids suck so much- almost as much as Spirit-Reaver at flaming.

You also might try to get one of those wands that has charges of lower resist. If the mob is Fire Immune by having 100 FR, then using a lower resist wand will wipe off the immunity long enough to blast em to hell and back.

On stuff like super uniques it doesn't seem to work as often, but sometimes it will wipe thier immunity too.

That isn't very productive for EXPing though, because you will be repairing the wand a dozen times a game, and it is expensive.

No lower resist doesnt affect immunes. Ive heard it does in sp(dont know if this is true?). Also, all of the wands with lower resist charges(lvl2) ive seen have 75 charges.

I have seen a lower resist wand remove immunities off of Act 5 Hell monsters. My friends wife runs a fireball sorc and she uses a lower resist wand to snuff immunities to fire all the time. Like I said, it doesn't work on most super uniques and none of the bosses... but for yard trash it worked well. It has to be on monsters that have fire immunity granted to them via 100 fire resist.

:shoot :wavey :scary

Hehe i guess i wont find this type of wand in the game neway but thx for the ideal.

Why wont my zone work.

20 lightning fury
20 charged strike
20 guided

thats all i need i got hellcrack as my crossbow and 198% titan
+9 to skill and btw lightning fury is nasty on mass monster, thats why ill do andy, eld, shank and pindle runs with. :p

try to calcul a jav piercing a mass spot of monster like in frigid...

each time a titan will pass trough a monster he will release 30 electric charge and each charge do 1,3k damage soo a boss like shank will die fast because he will get hitted by around half of my lightning released. After i finish him off with guided arrow (hellcrack).... dont under-estimate the power of an hydrid ;)

Javazone got lowered because they were to uber on patch 1.09 they still give a nasty shot.

Actually the wand is just a magic wand that you can buy from Malah in NM or Hell. Just have to fish through her trade window for a while.

oups my bad, i was sure it was on unique or crafting. I didn't think of that because i was thinking first about the flail that gives BO. This item is really expensive on ladder.
