![]() ![]() There are plenty of areas and bosses Cold builds excel at, where one cast of Blizzard, or a maximum of 2-3 casts of Frozen Orb will kill monsters at great radius. ![]() However, killing non-immunes is really easy and very quick. Another downside is that cold immunities can very rarely be broken, so the only way to get rid of cold immunes is to rely on your Merc’s damage. Solo gameplay: As there are quite a lot of cold immune monsters on Hell, soloing is difficult in many areas. Also make sure to walk instead of run outside of town, since during running your defensive stats are reduced, which makes you very vulnerable. You should be somewhat cautious not to teleport in the middle of monster groups, and should maintain your mana (potions, an Insight runeword on your merc, or skill points on Warmth come handy). It is the fastest and most convenient way to move in D2. Movement: Similarly to other sorc builds, cold sorcs also move by teleport. To improve survivability further, you will need to rely on gearing. Shiver Armor grants a bunch of Defense while freezing your attackers, while Energy Shield lets you take damage from your Mana instead of your Life. If you have spare stat points, these are the skills you want to put them on. Glacial Spike is also an interesting attacking skill option, as it freezes enemies for 5 seconds, which makes them immobile, easy to attack and easy to defend against.ĭefending skills: Shiver Armor and Energy Shield are the two skills we rely on for defense. Both deal a lot of single target and area damage simultaneously already at level 20, and they don’t require expensive equipment to be efficient. What more can you wish for?Īttacking skills: The primary cold attacking skills are Blizzard and Frozen Orb. They deliver a lot of single target and area damage, move super fast via teleport, have decent survivability, and can have 1000% magic find and still maintain ultra-fast farming speed. ![]() Have you ever wondered how some players already have fully geared, level80 characters by the second day of a new ladder season? The answer is - they play a Cold Sorc! There is no other class and build in the game that can level up and farm with a comparable efficiency early on in the season, and even in the late ladder cold builds are still amongst the best. ![]()
