No, cold immunity doesn't pierce immunes.
A fireball that does 8 times as much damage as glacial spike takes 4 casts to kill something in hell cold plains - you do the math.
cold mastery is a one point skill.
#1/2: Warmth is unnecessary with mana potions sold in stores. But as soon as you start to play 1.10, you'll realize how ridiculous it sounds to worry about 'wasting' points on teleport.
#3 wouldn't work at all.
You might, instead of tedious full clears, choose just to play with variable player counts to speed up your experiment into the later acts.
What merc is there other than town guards?
Delirium a doom or crescent moon wielding might merc, which you will use teleport to position next to your enemies, because you won't be able to solo at all in many areas of hell otherwise.
With early testing, sorceress are worthless in 1.10 without a godly merc/party. Fireball seems to be the only skill that actually deals 1.10 levels of damage, and only by maxing it out. Meteor doesn't do that much more damage than fireball, I imagine, if you consider cast times, and firewall... again, requires a merc/party. I'd love for people to come up with more than one or two ways for 1.10 sorcs to work. Fireball and MAYBE nova are the only ones I can think of having a hope of functioning, or MAYBE firewall. I don't have the patience to whip up a sorc with slvl30 skills and a godly merc though, and that's just twinking anyway.
