Not much to report, other than that I've gotten used to fully twinked characters, and now playing sorcs without any skillers and plain +3 ammys seems decidedly under-powered, especially for a dual tree build. Normal and NM was done using Chain Lightning for the most part, and I only began developing Orb once CL, Lightning, and the Mastery were all maxed. I swear the listed damage for FO is not accurate. It is far too effective for skill that only does 300-odd damage. Certainly the Orb itself does far more damage than that. It is still one of my favourite skills, because it's so effective, even without it's puny synergy, and the few skill points required mean you can pick almost any other skill you like to go with it.
The nitty-gritty:
Name: Leisha
Level: 81 (almost 82, where the last point would have gone in FO)
Life: 1249
Strength: 156/158
Dexterity: 27/34 (accidentally put 2 points here, didn't want to waste a respec to fix it)
Vitality: 277/359
Energy: 35/47
Mana: 788
Defense: 1105 (with FA)
Frozen Orb Damage: 340-357 (with CM at -50%)
Lightning Damage: 4-6921
Chain Lightning Damage: 4-3800
Resists: 55/37/75/27 (was 75/75/75/9 for most of Hell, before I revised my gear for more life and mana)
Final Gear:
- Harly (PTopaz)
- Dual 35% FCR Spirits
- Dual 10% FCR rare rings (resists)
- +3 Lightning blue ammy
- 'Smoke' Serpentskin Armor
- Frostys (I wanted to use Magefist to reach the 105 FCR break point, but amazingly haven't found a pair yet)
- Verdungo's (was tossing up between this and Trang Oul's Girth, the 10% DR won out)
- Rare boots (resists, FRW, MF)
- Lots of life, mana, and resists charms (no skillers)
- 'Edge' on switch for tight-arse gambling
Moron:
- Act 2 NM Might edit: by which I mean, Act 2 Normal prayer...
- 'Insight' Thresher (alas, not eth)
- 'Treachery' Breast Plate
- Tal Rasha's Crest (leech)
I tried him out with Delerium for a while, but losing the resists from Treachery to gain leech from the armour was not good.

Leisha's best finds were a Vex and a Gul (from the HF, first ever).
Leisha's future is as a runner, initially the Countess for some mid runes, then a respec to pure lightning for some very rare steak.|||Nicely done!
Question time!
1a. How did you feel using the Might over the Defience merc?
1b. How did you feel about max life > block?
2. And, did you use a combination of CL/Orb throughout hell? Or mainly one of the two skills?
Nice sorc! Orb is also my favorite skill with CL right behind it! May have to add orb to my CL sorc!|||1a. I've never used a Defiance merc, so I have no basis for a comparison.
1b. Blocking with 'Spirit' = lame.
2. Yes. Which skill was the prime and which was the backup changed constantrly.
Incidentally, my moron is actually a Prayer moron, as may be expected for an Insight-wielding moron accompanying a sorc. I think NF may be controlling my mind...|||gg on the mat, cl/fo are nice kittins to have in one's fleet.
PS: A1 sells aura'd mercs these days? ^^
