OK. I seem to be having more than my fair share of trouble in Hell. As long as I do not run into Cold immunes, I am fine, but those monsters are very hard, especially if they are fast.
Fire damage is not high enough to take them down quickly. Fire and Cold immunes seem to be rather common and that is a nightmare. The small item boost for CL is not enough to kill them fast.
Would I have been better off with FO and CL in hell? Is there some technique that I am not using for Hydra + FO Sorc?
Hydra is not effective as I have to running around like crazy and drop one when I can and keep running. This probably means I am not getting many hits from the spell. I try to group the hydras and run in a circle around them, so they can get in shots.
Of course by this time the merc is dead.
Hydra 10
Fire Master 20
Fire Ball 9
I am not sure how many +skills I have.
FO is max and I have 11 in Cold Master. None in Meteor. I have had items giving it, not sure if I currently have it or not. I did not like it much as those monsters do not stand still waiting for you to hit them.
