My New Orb Sorc..

[Jason]

This is purely for mfing off meph, so don't preach to me about cold immunes..

Skills

Max: Ice Bolt
Max: Frozen Orb
Max: Cold Mastery
Max: Shiver Armor
15: Teleport
10: Pre-Reqs

Stats

Str: 95
Dex: 75
Vit: Rest (comes out to be 320+ at 99)
Energy: 50

I won't say gear, because you all know what gear is good for MF sorcs, and mine isn't good gear, yet.

Basis of the skill setup:

Max: Ice Bolt - Synergy to Frozen Orb

Max: Frozen Orb - Main Attack

Max: Cold Mastery - Adds To Frozen Orb

Max: Shiver Armor - You have 35 extra points with this build, so why not max this for added def/protection?

15: Teleport - You have 35 extra points with this build, so why not max this for the lowest mana cost? (15 since u need 10 for pre-reqs)

10: Pre-Reqs - nuff said

All in all, you should survive quite well in hell against meph.

My gear allows max hell res for now, so I'm good.
320+ vit, awesome!
Low mana cost tele, awesome!
Added mana gear + 50 energy = around 600-800 mana I think
This build is nice

Use at your own risk, since my gear allows max resists with low mf..its my hammerdin's setup.

Once I get more mf gear I will have less resists..

Well first off you need to at least put 1 point into Warmth.

Secondly, I'd like to see the extra skill points go into a secondary attack. Killing faster is always helpful. T-Storm is quite helpful vs. bosses, is easy on the mana, doesn't have to be cast, and uses few skill points. Fireball could work as well.

Third, determining the number of points into teleport is tricky, and it mainly depends on the number of plus to skills you'll be rollin' with. You defin8ly don't want to go over level 24 teleport, and even that is probably too many points. 10 points is probably plenty. With +6 to skills (easily accomplished with occy, shako, and +1 from elsewhere), you'll be at 9 mana per port. And you could easily get to the point where you're regenerating mana, or at least holding stable with that lvl port. I'd rather see those other 5 points go into a secondary attack.

And lastly, other than the random skill points in shiver armor, this build is self explanatory. Put points in orb & synergies, and then wear mf gear. Why post it unless you're looking for advice.

wow thats alot into teleport and shiver armor....just max thunderstorm or something..and let ur plus skills do the rest....

 

[Jason]

A. I'm not rich enough to afford occy/shako
B. I forgot to list the 1 pt into warmth
C. I was going to change it to:

10 Teleport
4 chilling armor
20 shiver armor

4 chilling..

adds a lot to shiver armor

I posted it because of the added def spell maxing etc, to let ppl know of a way to setup a sorc with orb without dying fast against meph..

 

[Nissenoll]

hmm... chilling armor doens't add any extra def so I ask what's so great about the 4 pts into chilling

 

[M3_feelin_0wn3d]

i got me a orb sorc with lvl 33 orb / glacial / ice bolt and still upping cm, lvl1 tp (10 with stuff) 1 static (10 with stuff) and still going to mana shield. rest 1 in blizz 1 in cold nova 16 in frost bolt. sometihng like that. shiver armor lvl 13 (second weapon = staff with shiver armor)

making orb 620 - 660 dam. 5/6 good shots meph = bleeeehhhh

 

[Jason]

I ****ed up this guide in wording..somewhat..

c9, just void it or something -_-;

 

[ButtPlug]

I would get maxed warmth and put no in energy.

[Ntrik_]

heres my advice:

20 icebolt
20 FO
20 Ts
20 cold mastery
1 tele
1 warmth
1 shiver
20 Lightning mastery (learn last)
rest into warmth (if there will be any)

For stats, put dex until ur blocking is 75% in lvl 99, guess 95 str is ok, but its still too high in my opinion, and rest into vit... very little into mana...

 

[Kao]

My advice on an orb MF'er

20 Orb
20 Bolt
20 Mastery
20 Warmth
1 Teleport
1 Cold Armor (Any is fine)
The rest in Static

95 Str
75 Dex
All Vita
Base Ene

Shako
Wiz + Lidless (Teleporting)
Gull + Rhyme (Last hit)
Vipermagi
Arachnid Mesh
Magefist
SoJ
Ravenfrost
Travs
Tals Ammy

And about 5+ Cold gc's.
