Quote: I had an orb/fwall sorc, I stopped playing with her when she was around lvl77. Her time was before the 1.10v. If my memory serves me well i used to have problem only with hell fire/cold immunes. Cold immunes were not a big problem. I dont know if things have changes with the latest version.
The orb/fwall sorc is what I started on softcore after my account was ganked in the great password retrieval debacle. I made a major mistake of maxing cold mastery while not putting any points into orb synergy. I also didn't build up a merc because of 1.09 thinking. Without the merc to hold people still in the fwall there was no way to handle cold immune melee monsters.
Now I'm up to level 61 with the orb/fwall sorc in hardcore and am cruising through nightmare. I even found a Hone Sundan so my pokey merc is a lot more buff. Hopefully the Hone is beefy enough to help him survive when I get to hell. One tactic I'm using is keeping a Leaf staff with +2 firewall on my switch, that way my firewall is even better.
I'll see how it works in hell but so far I'm convinced the Orb/Fwall is the only way to hybrid.
Actually I'll give this one a vote for on of the most effective pvm builds. Orb isnt quite the boss shredder that synergized blizzard or meteor is but the hybrid versitility means you can go anywhere.
Step 2: Acquire and train a monkey. This step may take some time.
