Almost broke my mouse tonight in pure frustration.
Level 85 Light sorc getting slaughtered in 2 hits by everything. Sorc's have to be the worst characters to play as. Not to mention I was going to run pindle by joining left over baal games only to see pindle and his cronies move faster than a paladin with lvl 15 Vigor. WHAT IS THAT BULL****?
Basically what I'm trying to say is my Light Sorc is useless because I can run anything in Hell.
I should just go with the crowd and Hammerdin it out.
Sorry I had to rant I never had such problems with my Orb sorc. Well the immunes yes but I remember MFing Hell Andy and Hell Meph with really no problem.
Lightning Sorc..the worst character to play as? What have you been smoking? Getting hit by everything is kinda your fault..you should keep teleporting and spamming attacks .. I didn't think anything could stand against this build, what with the massive damage output, and being out of reach all the time.
Did you use most of your stat points on energy? with an orb sorc, no vitality needed. And when you are properly geared with your merc, the lightning sorc is easily the one that pwns all lol. It even pwns a hammerdin.

Those before me shall quiver in my wake as I unleash the fury within!
I got my energy to 200 and have over 260 unused stat points. I wanted to try a build without putting points into Str and Dex.
Having that extra health wont help my cause because I'm not geared up. I do not have the gear to do the things I want. Having the Occy doesn't help because of its stupid teleport mod (CURSE YOU!)
Hahaha there is to many enemies around to do Tele then Lightning. In any case I would draw in more Mobs.
haha True Light sorcs do huge damage but if you dont have the gear for a merc your screwed like other Sorcs.

You shouldn't put any points into energy. Just enough str and dex to use your gear and the rest into vitallity.

one of my friends told me to do it this way that he was going to hook me up with some gear and Life Charms.
The main issue is Gear atm wearing Cheap Rare Gloves and Boots. Plus Light Sorcs consume alot of mana and I have made sorc builds without putting a point into energy and its horrible to have little mana using pots every 10 seconds because I can only tele 15 times.
Once I get some great gear I think Hell will become easier but it just seems more tedious then I remember.

If you want to arrange it
This world you can change it
If we could somehow make this
Christmas thing last
By helping a neighbor
Or even a stranger
And to know who needs help
You need only just ask
well without high lvl EO, how are you supposed to take a hit?
EO?
Sounds to me like your problems stem from a lack of hit points really. My GF has a light/fire sorc with just tals, and she does pretty well. As a sorc you will occasionally get two shot. That is if you don't have the finest in duped loot, along with a merc weilding infinity. I would also like to advise using a secondary type of damage for immune mobs. Fire/light is nice and cold/light is possibly better. I never see cold light immune. Ever....
Actually did a whole lot better today after leveling up and finding Tals armor, getting the last resist scroll for Anya. Lack of hit points really doesn't matter I need to have FHR which I found eth Sandstorm Trek which helped quite a bit.
You are fine with 200 energy.. just make sure you get enough strenght for you final items and put rest of the points to vitality.
Also as you are light sorc put at least 1 point to energy shield so your bigger mana pool will help in survival..
(my hc charged bolt orb sorc has like 300 vit 200 energy) more mana = more flexibility and its always fun when you are at the state that you can cast almost as much as you want.
Oh man having a Merc tanking makes Hell oh so much easier. Put on my low 27 Fort, Blackthorns Face, and some Rare Lance he is the defensive merc from normal and he just takes everything so well. Well until he gets mob ganged and i have to tele out of there.
Pindle he cant do right now but Hell count and Frigid no problem. Found a Light Skiller GC on Shenk
Ooo all excited now

Rise and rise again, until lambs become lions
but ya ive always liked cold &/or fire sorcs better =3
they can slow the enemies &/or just kill them upright faster since theres no chance to do 1 damage xD
