I could be highly efficient on b.net, and knew most game mechanics inside and out. That's one of the things I loved about D2. I primarily played b.net so I'm sure there are some other tricks that can prove useful to someone playing singleplayer. With that said I forgot to take into account the ability to farm Lower Kurast chests, as that is not an option on b.net due to temp bans after 5-8 runs or so. I played quite a bit during 1.13 as well, but most of the time I guess was spent on 1.12. After respecing it looks like my lightning bolt only does 4.5k of damage, but frozen orb seems to make pretty short work of the lightning immunes. I've decided to go with Frozen Orb as my secondary spell. I can sort of teleport around the immunes for now, but I shudder when I think about reaching gloams.Īs an item of note, my character is a hardcore character and is at level 68. I feel like I could afford to respec a bit, but what skill should I go for? Fire ball? Meteor? Blizzard? Orb? What level will they have to be to take out lightning immunes in act I with at least decent speed? I can tweak my items accordingly, for example, using more +skills than +lightning skills. (My +skills bring those up to level 7) My lightning currently does 8k of damage, which is killing monsters pretty quickly in act I. I have tried staves (in my off hand) that gives me meteor, fire wall, and hydra, but all three of those are really slow. This build doesn't have to be purely lightning, but I just don't know how to branch in this case.

I was wondering if it might be possible to try and branch out into fire or cold spells.

(which has been awesome!) However, he hasn't been doing very well against lighting immune monsters, and in any case having him kill monsters slows me down considerably. I have an act 2 merc with the prayer aura, plus he is armed with a insight runeword, giving me meditation. Unfortunately I haven't found a single Ber rune or a Griffon's Eye yet, so I'm running into trouble with lightning immunes. I'm playing through D2 single player with a lightning sorc, using only items I personally have found, saving/trading them between my characters with gomule.
