Hullo.
Not to be rude, but that is a statement of blithering ignorance. The fire tree has been and currently is a source of astounding damage and sick scaling. Lots of monsters are resistant/immune to fire, but that doesn't mean that the skills aren't effective.
Fire ball and firebolt, not even MENTIONING meteor and fire wall (and even hydra, when calculated correctly) can skyrocket in damage, easily beating many other sorceress skills. Though I'm a big advocate of Blizzard, there are many times and places for fire skills to be used.
Also, I would never, ever recommend maxed warmth, except perhaps to a player not willing to level past lvl 50 in hardcore.
I hardly see low energy low warmth investment sorcs with timered skills "preatty much screwed," and if you ever played a sorc effectively, you would too. The sole exception I see for that statement is the tweaker sorc for any untimered skill, but still, that hardly entails maxed warmth.
