I have a fully geared Blizz sorc at lvl 84. The problem I am having is the damn Cold Immunes. I know I should use a merc...however he always dies when I go and chaos (favorite runs) He is an act 2 def merc with infinity and coh. Too much money has been spent reviving him, making me extremely poor in gold. So I have not been using him for quite some time now. This is my sorc's set up
Helm-15% Nightwing Veil um'ed
Armor-AP Enigma
Weapon-+3 cold skills +30% to cold skills 25%fcr death fathoms
Shield-+20/-20 Cold Facet monarch
Gloves-frostburn
Boots-rare
Rings-soj and raven frost
ammy-mara's 5/20
and torch
I currently do 6k damage with bliz and 3.4k damage with ice blast. Here is my skill set up
maxed bliz, ice blast, ice bolt, cold mastery
working on maxing glacial spike
teleport
static field
warmth
Should I keep reviving my merc to help and only do baal runs or what? I love the amount of exp i get from chaosing but when i go up against oblivion mages that are cold immune, all i can do is either static them or run around in circles. Or maybe I should get a different merc like a rogue or iron wolf? Get the lightning or fire types.

Those before me shall quiver in my wake as I unleash the fury within!
i usually go prodominantly ice so when i make my sorcs i try to max out, or get as close to maxing out frozen orb, thunderstorm, hydra, warmth, lightning the 3 masterys as i can. just get 1 to each of the skills to get to the higher ups.
Frozen orb pretty much owns all non cold immune enemies, and hyrda is retty good on modt cold immune enemies then couples with lighting and thunderstorm and they go down fairly quickly.
course immune to cold/fire/lightning is a killer they do exist, luckily i have a big as maul on my other weapon slot.
though i dont really like the erratic damge of most lightning spells 1 - 5000 you should be doing 1 damge in hell difficulty. and no huge area fire spells, they better bring back immolilation for d3.
i mostly use an iron wolf, of any kind i go by how cool their name is, i should probably get a lightning one though.
try work on building up the higher up fire/lightning spells or get some big as physical wepon ofr you other weapon slot.
iron wolves are ok they stay back and fire, but Barbs are pretty good too. though Iron maiden kinda shits on the barbs though
not the greatest of help i know, but thats all i have, i havent played in ages so i cant remember what items to deck yourself out with.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
I would say lower resist/conviction/whatever, but unfortunately there seems to be many more unbreakable cold-immunes than fire/lightning immunes. Oblivion Knights being one of them.
I do think the Act 2 merc is the best one, but I can't really say. Never did Chaos Sanctuary more than necessary.
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.
Supporting big shoulderpads and flashy armor since 2004.
yep, lower resist/conviction. but you cant always get what you want no you cant always get what you want but sometime you just might find you get what you need.
theres no guarantee you will be doing a run with the classes who have those skills, though chances are pretty high you will. (uh i think)

Is that perhaps the Rolling Stones song there?
ANyways, I was speaking strictly through items, but yes, even if you run with pally's and necro's, some are hard to break.

classes. items. they are virtually the same, they do have the same ultimate effect in the end, lowering resistances (or at least thats the intention)

I have a fully geared Blizz sorc at lvl 84 Armor-AP Enigma
LOL? u're a sorc and u're using enigma? ROFL
and u let ur merc wear ur coh? -.- u call that a fully geared blizz sorc?
lol u're weird man..u're weird...
my suggestion thu is:
-keep ur act2 merc...but make sure he's from nightmare difficulty merc. also i suggest getting a cold merc even thu u have trouble dealing with cold imunes...this merc will slow down the other monster that are not cold imunes to beat the hell out of him.
-let ur merc wear fort instead of COH! fort gives life which ur merc will love to stripp for u if u follow what i just said....
-let ur merc wear GIANT SKULL even thu this doesn't gives much mod but the knockback n the other extra mod helps him deal with the cold imunes for ur sorc -socket this with a pamythest for strenght to make him wear infinity n fort if he's lack of strenght to wear em.
-use ur coh for ur sorc LOL not enigma, nigma gives strenght(base by level), 1 to tele, and some mods for other builds only not for sorc......
-also why u using 20/20? that's for pvp not chaosing or pvm or w.e ...i suggest using a spirit if u're a ES blizz sorc but if not use ss if u're a max block sorc.
-use 2 sojs not 1soj n 1raven soj gives mana pretty much a noob would know that..also the mana helps boost ur ES if u're using one.
-also for boots u can use treks or wartravs.
-use cta too for bo n give ur merc some life boost
-use lifer cold gc if u only u can afford em
-keep away from cold imune as soon as u or ur merc hit half life fighting them cold imunes...or just go tele away n heal then come back pwnding their ass again till they die.
but most of all blizz sorc are not really for pvm this build is more likely a pvp build.

the best BOW of DIABLO2LOD for annoying nubs in the game.......now beat this!
Thanks...erm....for your help killing lil thingys I was looking for help not erm critizism. Thanks for the info though.
btw...i perfer my ap enigma because it gives me 220 to life and mana....+2 skills which brings my sorc bliz to 6.3k damage, the str and mfing.
Ever since my account was hacked into...I started all over and there is no better way of starting over with a mf sorc.
I do have a spirit monarch but the +20/-20 facet monarch gives me +20% to cold skill damage....With spirit shield on...my bliz goes down in damage by 1.2 or 1.3k damage. That is why i have the facet monarch.
I use a raven frost because i only found/traded 3 soj, 2 raven frost, and a 1 bk...my 2 soj went to my hammerdin...1 soj and 1 raven frost went to my bliz sorc and 1 raven frost and the bk went to my zmiter.
So I guess what i forgot to mention Killing lil thingys is that, yea my account got hacked into, leaving me more poor than a noob (btw i am no noob...i have been playing diablo since the first one came out) the only "high rune" i have is a ko...only because i spent most of my hrs to get some of these items.
I greatly appreciate your guys help though.
