Since the new patch i have been testing out a Hydra Sorc.
This is a very viable MF build as you can add so much mf to her
and still 1 shot the trash mobs.
My Frozen orb sorc took about twice as long to kill all the mobs
than my new Hydra build she had only 300 MF on
This new Hydra has 400 MF, i know the mf goes off at 200+
but its a fun build, easy to use and is quite safe as you can cast
from a long way off and let your hydras do the damage
It does help with infinity merc, but it works just as good
with just an insite merc maybe a few seconds longer with insight
Here I am same setup, showing how she takes out Andariel
and mobs that are immune to fire, courtesy of Infinity
Here I am strolling down to Baal, a few good items on the way
Now gone more glass-cannon (without energy shield)
I have re-specked and testing out Frozen orb as a 2ndary
Seems ok, just a bit squishy and I need to learn a different
way of playing, but that’s where the fun is in D2r
