MF + fire/poison res charms (I use only 3, the rest are plain 7% MF charms) While expensive uniques can get you 10-15% more Cold OR Fire damage (not both), you’ll have to give up tons of defense, FHR, MF, Life, etc… Please just use full Tal.įull Tal (socketed with 3x Cold/fire facets - your choice) I’m not saying this from a budget gear POV - this is an end game MF setup. I’ve also come across a lot of hybrid build videos on youtube which all use some variation of Death Fathom, Nightwing, Enigma, etc… which makes me sick to my stomach. Can you imagine how much it costs to fill a stash full of Lightning 35 lifers? Not to mention griffon, COH/Enigma, etc… I spend 3-5 Ist for each of my Cold/Fire 35 lifers. It can 2 shot cows and kill Baal just as fast as Lightning. This setup allows you to cast any spell you want anytime you want without tapping mana pot, unless burned. While it may fall a (super tiny) bit short on raw clear speed, it more than makes up for it in:

This is more powerful than Blizzard and rivals Lightning in clear speed. PIs can be ignored or can potentially be taken down slowly via weapon upgrades or the 1-point Fire Claws skill with +skill mods.After spending countless tokens and cycling through every possible gear setup for sorc, I’ve finally found the best hybrid setup which is OrbBaller. Prior to the IK maul, the weapon should be the hardest hitting to synergize with Maul and Hunger. Shock Wave can be used, especially in large minion packs, to keep monster damage down until they can be dispatched.Īgainst bosses, the tougher single grizzly stands up better to the heavy elemental damage than the trio of wolves. Maul is the primary melee attack with Hunger as an occasional 'refill' of both mana and health or used when incoming damage is very significant to maintain as a tank. The general idea is straightforward melee with the Dire Wolves as additional damage, bolstered by the spirit and mercenary aura. Jalal's Mane is an obvious choice for headgear.Īn Act II melee hireling, particularly the Nightmare offensive hireling, fits well with the melee enhancers, such as Heart of Wolverine. This gives the weapon huge elemental damage of various types on top of its very significant physical damage as a good method of dealing with physically immune monsters. The key item to the build is the Immortal King's Stone Crusher with either 4 or 5 pieces of the set - the Gloves, Belt, and Boots are almost a given, and the armor is a solid choice given the bonuses. 1 Raven: Pre-requisite, potential utility late for casters.Diablo II: Resurrected Review - Pile Of Old Bones
