Enjoyed the game as a kid. Thanks for the walk through builds you post it helps a lot. Got my wife in to 3 but I didn't care much for it myself. So I'm getting her to play 2. Stay amazing 👌
I can’t use occy anymore so I stick with hoto. The teleport is awful. I often teleport right on top of a boss to spam fireball and I could easily kill them quickly but I always get teleported away. I wish you could disable the teleport function
honestly i think Blizz Wall is the way to go, Go Blizzard with max blizz, icebolt and glacial spike, and few points into CM for -100 Res w/ gear, then go Firewall max, 1 warmth and rest into FM. Of course get static, frost armor, and TP also. With this set up you can one shot most in hell, and still clear Chaos and Baal way faster than F Orb. And if you find a snowclash itll boost your blizzard, glacial spike, and give you shiver armor that will shoot out ice bolts. IMO this build is super underatted, can go very budget gear and clear waves. Just look how slow it was to clear all these fire immunes in chaos and baal runs... There's a reason why Blizzard is OP, it's cause the company's name is Blizzard. Also very fun build to play with.
almost every hell mob has some resistances so it's always useful to have more than -100 cold mastery (except with Infinity of course). I'm fairly certain you get more effective blizzard damage for reducing a mobs res from - 95 to - 100 than a regular point in a synergy once there are many points in them. I don't have the math here, (anyone is very wellcome to present it!) but I would go for at least -125 cold mastery even before maxing synergies. I'm not convinced if you should ever prioritise frozen orb points for ice blast damage, but again, I don't have the math here.
I think you are overlooking something important. Most of us that watch your videos are new to the game. Otherwise this video would be irrelevant to seasoned players. That being said, we are not lvl 99 with the points to invest like you do. I’m stuck in the beginning of Hell because I can’t get the gear to drop like all the guides on UA-cam suggest I should wear. The last 3 weeks I’ve spent every night after work running NM Meph, Pindle and Hell AT because my gear is too low to get further. Maybe focus on players that are lvl 40 - 65 please.
same here man, I get stuck in Act 3 Travincal now. was running a sorc blizz/meteor hybrid so far, but those suckers are now either immune to cold and due to the delay of meteor it is hard to hit moving targets if I wanna hit them with fire. not to mention there are quite a lot dudes which are immune to both cold and fire. brings up the merc as a last resort, but he barely survives 5s in any battle. it feels like I have to skip the whole game through hell, currently at lvl 73. I thought those maxroll guides are decent, but now Im thinking about respecing my char as Phil said right now. it just feels like going for one elemental damage type completely is better than splitting it up into 2 and none of them excels on its own. good luck!
@@omegapsi847 I think you only need to kill a certain one of the council members to progress, don't remember which one but perhaps its not always immune to something. Still a tough fight in hell. For items there are nice places to farm before that like nightmare mephisto to hopefully get a few upgrades. also echoing the need for guides of what to expect and do to reach all areas. many many players want to see this but aren't very visible in online communities all due to not having been around that long
you put "Dibalo" instead of "Diablo" in your description but i say just leave it as it is because i said it out loud IRL and it sounds the same after you say it enough times to yourself
Can you PLEASE do an uber run with a psn/summoner necro because I have yet to see it done. I know the psn wont do much if anything but I think with the arm of leoric and other plus skill items, someone can still do ubers while being a hybrid so someone would not have to respec if they're the hybrid build and the challenging part would also be without using BEAST. It has yet to be done so I'm seeing if anyone is up for the challenge
@@SweetPhil I've seen a few summoners do it...especially with Beast and etc and Udar...they absolutely flew through it I was shocked...I know smite is the meta but you sometimes gotta spice things up
I would someone would finally make good builds for HC. This is just terrible. You wouldn't survive a day with this. And 400mf? Its just waay to much. All you need is 250-300. This is the best synergy between magic find and fast clear.
Nice Phil! These guides will be even more helpful once the first ladder season rolls around and more people get back into D2R! Keep up the good work!
people arent abstaining from d2r because of ladder🤣

My dude over here playing in 2077 putting in frost orb as synergy for ice blast, never thought about it, thanks for the tip
always the best ratio of like /dislike. and for very good reasons; the content is always on point with sweet phil ! Sweet phil for president !
Finally found a shako last night at andy! 128 def.....keep slayin
Lucky 😁👍
Grats!
I kept seeing white shakos and a few blue shakos dropping...i had a feeling the big one would fall!
I found 2 Shakos..... they were both Eth..... 😐
I gave them away.

Great video 😊
Future video!
Top 10 items worthy of upgrading.

I personally would want some more Points in Coldmastery to make around -130, -150isch. Otherwise my favorite Build to start serious Magicfinding👌
Ok you have Infinity... 😅
Hello Phil, quick question, why not max frost nova for damage instead of glacial spike? Has this been tested? Cheers.
Happy wedding bro
Slaying that Like BuTToN!
awesome advice! keep slaying friends!
But if u have infinity why not just do a lightning sorc?
Thanks very helpful! Enjoying your videos. =)
just what i needed

none of that is crucial but I would think it's a thing worth talking about. nice guide overall, cheers!

How do ypu handle Hell with just cold? Plus, I read that fire wall is awesomely powerful - is that true?
You just tele past everything cold immune. Fire wall is rocking but I heard they just dropped a patch to fix the bug though. Not confirmed.
Countess....just static her and let the merc kill...not that long tbh...but great guide non the less!
Slay That LIKE BUTTON!!!!!
you put "Dibalo" instead of "Diablo" in your description but i say just leave it as it is because i said it out loud IRL and it sounds the same after you say it enough times to yourself
Ok I'll leave it. 😆👌
I hate the OCCY random TP so much I promised myself I would never use it, but the MF is hard to pass up :(
Great stuff!
Idea: survivability in hell

I've seen a summoner done before and it didn't look fun. You have to farm certain monsters to revive and it's super slow.
@@SweetPhil I've seen a few summoners do it...especially with Beast and etc and Udar...they absolutely flew through it I was shocked...I know smite is the meta but you sometimes gotta spice things up
You can even farm chaos pretty ez too even with mf setup. Just have decent merc gear for de seis.
So wot's best, ice, fire or hybrid build for raping and pillaging?
Cortana! 🖤 Lovely name! Thank you for not naming her xxsneaksxx69. Soul matters! 💕
I named my sorc Farmhoe 😕
I find blizzard hard to target

1 thumbs down from Andariel who doesn't like being slain
Great guide, but i would prefer tal amu + tal belt + tal armor for even more mf than in your setup :-)
