Are the 8 frames similar to poison? I.e. 8 frames online, only 1 frame offline?ShadowHeart wrote: 1 month agoHydra stops his regen too. With all 18 Hydra heads shooting it basically forms a continuous stream of firebolts, and since every time a firebolt hits it stops his regen for 8 frames, he basically doesn't regen at all as long as he doesn't run around and Dodge too many firebolts (with the Meteor you have a similar issue too - you need him to stay in place). Trust me, I've killed dclone easily with a pure Hydra sorc without any kind of PMH. (my primary dclone killer throughout ladder season 12 was a Hydra sorc)

Yes, it's exactly like that. Poison works like a negative regen, and in online games, any damage dealth to a target halts both poison tick and regen on it for 8 frames (the frame on which the damage took place plus 7 frames after).vued wrote: 1 month agoAre the 8 frames similar to poison?

For this reason you technically don't need PMH, OW or poison in online games to halt regen vs dclone and ubers, as long as you can keep a damage rate of 8 fpa or faster.
And yes, offline is a different story (regen is only paused for that single frame when the damage is applied in offline games).

A friend of mine had a Hydra Sorceress which was truly amazing. Her thoughts about Hydra were that she did not need to aim, just dropped dragons. All she had to do was spam. Where Fireball was concerned, she did not like the aim vs. miss factor. She wanted auto-aim introduced into the game which made me laugh. So I turned her onto a BowZon, Strafe edition.
So if I ever do a Fire Sorceress... It will be Hydra Sorceress all day long. Because I'm lazy like that. Ya know?

That's funny. I mean no harm, but aiming fireballs is not that hard with their aoe. If that is too hard, then maybe an ARPG is not the right type of game for your friend.QuadraHedron wrote: 1 month agoA friend of mine had a Hydra Sorceress which was truly amazing.

And as many here have already said, the question is not Fireball or Hydra, but you combine Hydra with Fireball or as an alternative Meteor and Fireball or Frozen Orb and Fireball. But since the introduction of sunder charms, a single element is always stronger.
If you really want to avoid aiming at all, a high Dragondin (expensive gear!) is the build to go for.
No harm, no foul. I thought it was a funny tale to tell. And yes, it is not the best game for the lazy ones like her. She plays a lot of World of Warcraft where she uses Lazy "One button" rotation scripts.
Yeah! Unlike some other builds where you need to play a skill piano, I would never consider Fire Sorc an aim/skill dependent build -- you just throw some balls in approx. direction of enemies, they die, you move/tele, and then repeat. xdmikelessar wrote: 1 month agoThat's funny.

Sure, it's not like afk Dragondin but it's still pretty auto play without much thinking playstyle

hi all, a question about the optimal weapon.. most people do eschuta (spelling??) but i guess a blue/yellow item can roll better.. i've seen rolls like +3 fire skills, +3 Fire Mastery, +3 skill x, +20% fcr.. question is, would something truly godly be possible??
like
+3 fire skills
+3 Fire Mastery
+3 Fireball or Hydra
+20% fcr
3 sockets (in a Swirling Crystal??)
some mana or whatever is left

Well, depends what you mean by optimal.
I have Eschuta with -5res facet and I don't use it.
I made sword with six facets wgich I also don't use.
Same with HOTO.
Instead i most often run fire sorc with Oculus with either Ist or jewel.

I can trade DLC or non-DLC on both PC or xbox.
All my Blood Ring and Caster Amulet priced at Ist or below are now FREE.

thanks.. with optimal i mean like uber / p8 killer
so theoretically an orb with 3/3/3/20fcr and 2 facets (including one new uber facet) would be possible?

3/3/3 is around 3/18 Temperganseng wrote: 13 hours agothanks.. with optimal i mean like uber / p8 killer

20 vs 40 fcr
2 facet vs 1 facet
in practical, magic orb is bad. you are choosing between 20 fcr or 1 extra facet
simple solution is id and sell it, all rare magic ob lost and very hard to sell.
Please be aware, all my trade is in non ladder d2r. Not warlock.
Fwiw, +3 to Fireball from the Trang's gloves and belt isn't the worst thing in the world if you're operating on a budget. But yeah, Magefist is generally the preferred source of FCR for fire casters.ganseng wrote: 1 month agoThanks again to all - now I can confirm first hand that Fireball feels much faster and more gratifying. Damn shame Trang\Ouls + 18 to Fireball doesn't apply to sorc - seemed like such a clever idea
About static - if I have to choose due to slow handling between static and Lower Resist, what is better?
And what lvl do I have to be to buy a Wand with lvl 3 Lower Resist charges?

Flickering Flame, Spirit, Chains of Honor, Arachnid Mesh, 2 x soj, Magefist, sandstorm, amulet +3 fire skills & +16 strength, cta with +4 Battle Orders on swap, and the bloody oculus - still didn't get a better option..
851 hp / 1576 mana before Battle Orders
i could make a Phoenix, but stick to the Spirit for now
and final skill tree @lvl 96 - 1 point Frozen Armor, 6 points to get to Energy Shield, the rest fire.. Hydra not quite maxed, at 15 hard points.. will get to 18 eventually by 2030
merc is act 1 with Insight
now i wonder if this lady will kill the ubers without too much stress
